“Let's go wrestling, Dad!”(《摔跤吧, 爸爸!》) is one of the Top 10 movies recently. It tells a true story about an Indian man and his two daughters. His name's Mahavir. In real life, he is called “the father of Indian women wrestling” because thousands of girls across India have been supposed to take up wrestling with his efforts.

A very famous Indian actor—Aamir Khan, played the role of Mahavir in the movie. It was an unusual experience for him. Aamir Khan was very serious about his character and he tried to make this character close to the true story. In order to act well, he needed to put on weight to be very fat and then did sports to be very strong in a short time.

Aamir Khan started to eat a lot every day before making the movie. He ate at least 5 meals a day including much junk food. He became too fat to run quickly.

It is simple to be fat but difficult to be strong. Aamir Khan invited many coaches to train him to lose weight and it took him a few months to be strong. He must eat less food and drink more water. Strength training is also important. This kind of physical training is very boring. He had to lift different weights and did it over and over again. Aamir Khan set a goal to himself day by day and the minute he made it, he fell down on the ground and could hardly stand up. In the end, he became the exact person the movie needed.

The role he played was very moving and he succeeded at last. As he says, the most important thing in life is not whether you can reach your goal but whether you have made the greatest efforts.

1.From the passage, what is Aamir Khan's job?

A. A teacher.

B. An actor.

C. A director.

D. A coach.

2.Why is Mahavir called “the father of Indian women wrestling”?

A. Because he is a very famous Indian player.

B. Because he played a role in the movie “Let's go wrestling, Dad!”

C. Because he supported many Indian women to take up wrestling.

D. Because he became strong in a short time.

3.What does the underlined word “strength” mean in Chinese?

A. 力量 B. 目標(biāo)

C. 疲勞 D. 節(jié)食

4.What is the correct order of the following things about Aamir Khan?

①He changed his eating habits and did sports to become strong.

②He was serious about the character and he needed to make great efforts.

③To be fat, he ate lots of food.

④Finally, he succeeded.

A. ③②①④

B. ②③④①

C. ②①④③

D. ②③①④

5.Which of the following is NOT true about Aamir Khan from the passage?

A. “Let's go wrestling, Dad!” is a true story about Aamir Khan himself.

B. He became very fat at first and then lost weight in a very short time.

C. In order to act well, he trained so hard.

D. He tried to play a perfect role in the movie.

Do you know any 9?year?olds who have started their own museums? When Theodore Roosevelt(羅斯福) was only nine, he and two of his cousins opened the “Roosevelt Museum of Natural History”. The museum was in Theodore's bedroom. It had a total of 12 specimens(標(biāo)本). On display were a few seashells, some dead insects and some birds' nests. Young Roosevelt took great pride in his small museum.

Born in New York in 1858, Theodore Roosevelt was not always healthy. “I was a sickly, delicate boy,” he once wrote. Roosevelt had a health condition called asthma(哮喘). He often found it hard to breathe.Instead of playing, he observed(觀察) nature and then read and wrote about it.

Roosevelt's interest in nature sometimes got him into trouble. Once, his mother found several dead mice in the icebox. She ordered him to throw them out. This wasindeed “a loss to science”, Roosevelt said later.

Because Roosevelt was often sickly as a boy, his body was small and weak. When he was about 12, his father urged him to improve his body. Roosevelt began working out in a gym. He didn't become strong quickly. But he did decide to face life's challenges with a strong spirit. That determination stayed with Roosevelt his whole life. And finally his body did get strong. As an adult, he was an active, healthy person. He enjoyed adventures and loved outdoors.

In 1900, at the age of 41, Roosevelt was elected Vice President. A year later, President McKinley was shot and killed. Roosevelt became the 26th president of the USA.At 42, he was the youngest leader the country had ever had.

1.What is the main idea of the first paragraph?

A. Roosevelt's museum had 12 specimens.

B. Roosevelt had two cousins.

C. Roosevelt was a brave man.

D. Roosevelt had a small museum as a boy.

2.Which of the following tells about Roosevelt as a boy?

A. He liked playing outdoors sports.

B. He became the President in 1901.

C. He was interested in observing nature.

D. He was a healthy person full of energy.

3.It can be inferred(推斷) that________.

A. Roosevelt's mother liked mice

B. Roosevelt followed his father's advice

C. everyone with asthma is small and weak

D. working out in a gym is a waste of time

4.In which book might you find this passage?

A. Improving Your Body.

B. Living with Asthma.

C. Small Museums of Natural History.

D. The Childhoods of America's Presidents.
