James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9.There, a school teacher asked the youth his name. "J.C., "he replied. She thought he had said "Jesse", and he had a new name.
Owens ran his first race at age 13.After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to fee his university. As a second year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.
A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.
The stage was set for Owens victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African American winners.
"It was all right with me, "he said years later.” I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway."
Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.
Owens Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles and dogs.
"Sure, it bothered me, "he said later.” But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat."
In time, however, his gold medals changed his life.” They have kept me alive over the years, "he once said.” Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard."
From the passage, we know that _____ most probably first called James Cleveland Owens Jesse.
A.his father B.his school teacher
C.his classmate D.his mother
Owen was very famous in the Big Ten meet because ___________.
A.he was the son of a farmer and the grand son of black slaves
B.he studied in Ohio State University
C.he succeeded in setting many records

A.Because he was a grandson of black slaves.
B.Because he was not successful in the Berlin Olympic Games.
C.Because he didn’t receive the president’s telephone calls.
D.Because he disliked the United State.
Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

Contrary to the impression that grandmothers are delighted to help their grown daughters and care for their grandchildren, a study of multigenerational families shows that many older women hate the frequent demands that the younger generations make on their time and energy.
“Young women with children are under a lot of pressure these days, and they expect their mothers to help them pick up the pieces,” noted Dr. Bertram J. Cohler, a behavioral scientist at the University of Chicago. “This is often the strongest source of complaint on the part of Grandmother, who has finished with child caring and now has her own life to live. Grandmothers like to see their children and grandchildren, but on their own time.”
Dr. Cohler is director of a study, sponsored by the National Institute of Aging, of 150 workingclass families that live in a Midwestern suburb. He and Dr. Henry U. Gruebaum of Harvard Medical School, have already completed their study of four such families in New England.
Dr. Cohler tells of a middle-aged Boston woman who works as a cook all week and for her parish (教區(qū)) on Sundays. Every Saturday, her one day off, her daughter and family visit, expecting mother to make lunch, shop, and visit. “That's not how she wants to grow old,” said Dr. Cohler, who was told by the older woman, “My daughter would never speak to me if she knew how angry and unhappy I get.”
In all the four New England families studied, the older women disliked the numerous phone calls and visits from their grown daughters, who often turned to the mothers for advice, physical resources, love, and companionship as well as baby-sitting services. “American society keeps increasing the burdens for older people, particularly those in their 50s and 60s,” Dr. Cohler said in an interview here. “They're still working and they're taking care of their grown children and maybe also their aged parents. Sometimes life gets to be too much.”
Which of the following is closest in meaning to the expression “pick up the pieces” in the second paragraph?
A. Save a bad situation. B. Put children's toys in their proper places.
C. Gather up pieces of clothing. D. Keep the room in good order.
The middle-aged Boston woman ______.
A. expects her mother to cook lunch for her
B. enjoys the room in good order
C. visits an older woman every Saturday
D. works six days a week
The passage is mainly about ______.
A. young women's inability to look after their children
B. Grandmothers' attitudes toward helping their grown daughters
C. average American women's family life
D. grandmother should give more help to their daughters
From Dr. Cohler's study we may reach the conclusion that ______.
A. daughters should be independent of their old grandmothers
B. grandmother should give more help to their daughters
C. mothers and daughters should support each other
D. daughters should be more considerate toward their mothers
