Every time Lionel Messi breaks a record, it seems appropriate to compare him to the legends that came before him.

In 2012, he rewrote soccer history on multiple occasions, and his latest record came when he scored his 86th goal of the calendar year, breaking Gerd Muller’s previous mark, before wrapping up the year with 91 goals.

All statistics indicate that Messi is currently the best player in the world, and that he will go down in history as the top footballer of his generation. But when he is judged against all-time greats like Pele and Diego Maradona, he still has work to do.

We don’t know whether the Barcelona striker will have another year in which he records more than 90 goals, but he must still sustain(維持)a similar level of production for the next several seasons.

Messi has already taken part in three of Barcelona’s victorious Champions League(冠軍聯(lián)賽)campaigns, and he played an important role in two of them. In order to firmly establish himself as the greatest club football player in history, he must win the tournament a few more times.

Most importantly, the Argentine(阿根廷人)needs to win on the international stage. Regardless of what Messi does for Barcelona, his legacy will be incomplete if he cannot win the World Cup with Argentina.

Both Pele and Maradona led their countries to the top of international soccer during their careers, and Messi’s performances for his country have been severely disappointing.

While he was still a teenager in 2006-and his lackluster(平淡的)showing is excusable due to his youth-he cannot brush off the disappointment that characterized Argentina’s performance in 2010.

But the 4-0 loss to Germany in the 2010 World Cup Quarter Final seems to have sparked Messi. He scored 12 times for Argentina last year, and the next World Cup could finally be Messi’s breakout performance in blue and white stripes.

Due to all of his accomplishments, it is easy to forget that the extraordinary footballer is just 25 years old. If he can avoid injury or lengthy slumps(低潮狀態(tài))until his speed and skills start to decline due to age, he may continue to break records and win trophies.

1.What will Messi have to do in order to be complete in his soccer career?

A. He must win the World Cup with Argentina.

B. He must win the tournament a few more times.

C. He must defeat Pele and Maradona.

D. He must avoid injury or lengthy slumps.

2.How was Messi’s performance in 2010 World Cup?

A. Excellent. B. Inspiring.

A. Messi has firmly established himself as the greatest club soccer player in history.

B. Messi will try his best to win the next World Cup with Argentina.

C. Messi can avoid injury and lengthy slumps to break records and win trophies.

For one tired out from work, autumn is one of the best times to step into the open air to kick back and enjoy some great music. And that’s what many Beijingers have done this past weekend.

Family, friends, laughter; beautiful grass, fresh air and live music echoing (回響) off the forest and the Great Wall that surround this place. A weekend in this music paradise（樂(lè)園） just seems too short. Besides, a brand new world-class outdoor theater has just been open at this year’s festival, which will surely make the festival a better and more permanent experience.

A full house is before the new outdoor amphitheater (圓形劇場(chǎng)). Even the thunderstorm couldn’t break up the crowd completely absorbed in the music. Thanks to the new theater, this year’s Great Wall Forest Festival offers even more superb acoustics（音效的）and an overall outdoor theatrical experience, even though the project is still half complete.

The festival is now in its fourth year. Since its first show in 2010, the festival has seen a steady increase in festival-goers and has expanded its length from two days to four days, divided over two weekends. It has also been experimenting with a variety of styles, from classical to pop, with this year’s theme “Celebrating 20 Years of Chinese Folk Song.” Folk Song legend Lao Lang explains how folk songs have helped encourage more amateur folks to express themselves through music.

“Before music was reserved for the professionals. But folk songs made young people realize that they can express themselves through music as well. And that’s what characterizes folk songs. It’s popular music and it always has a story.” said Lao Lang.

Unlike some of the other outdoor festivals, the Great Wall Forest Festival appeals to a wide range of audiences. It’s a rare place where teens, parents and families can all enjoy the outdoors and have a great time.

Great music and scenery aside, many children’s workshops, master music classes, and interactive art activities have also been introduced this year. If music is the reason to come to the festivals, you’ll find even more reasons not to leave.

1.What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “kick back” in Paragraph 1?

A. to hit with legs. B. to work harder

C. to relax oneself D. to make people leave

2.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. The place where the Festival is held is near the Great Wall.

B. The completed project adds to the attraction of this year’s Festival.

C. The audience attending the festival bury themselves in the music.

D. The year 2010 saw the beginning of the Great Wall Forest Festival.

3.The 2014 Great Wall Forest Festival has got improved in the following aspects except that _________.

A. it has included different types of music

B. it has attracted a wide range of audiences

C. it has introduced more activities besides music

D. it has been expanded from 2 days to 4 days in a week

4.According to Lao Lang, we can know that _________.

A. folk songs can help amateur singers become famous easily

B. folk songs are the ones just intended for the professionals

C. a folk song, always with a story, belongs to popular music

D. popular songs are used by the young to express themselves

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)，選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

Last Sunday I was thinking about the difference between successful people and those who don’t achieve anything significant. I made an interesting discovery. This difference may at first look obvious, but it’s quite opposite. 1.

Everyone has a purpose behind their actions. If they don’t, they wouldn’t take action! 2. When they take action, at the back of their minds they think about success that this action is going to bring them.

3. What’s the purpose behind your actions? Do you work to thrive（成功）or to survive?

Do you go to work to feed your family or to create an amazing lifestyle?

Different purposes will result in completely different life experiences. People who work to survive are the ones who fear that some unexpected bill will arrive. They go to bed worrying about money and unimportant things. They hate their employment but don’t quit because they doubt their own abilities to create something greater. I know this kind of feeling because I was like that once. That’s a very uncomfortable state to be in because you are constantly worried about insignificant things. 4. Therefore, you cannot achieve anything great.

Now there are some people who don’t accept the “ Life is hard ” story and they are fuelled by an entirely different purpose. They work to thrive. 5.They have a beautiful vision and they take constant action to make that vision a reality.

A. And they don’t think about why something cannot be done.

B. Such attitude invites great opportunities to you.

C. It lies in what motivates people to take action.

D. So let me ask you a few questions.

E. And this makes you take even more or better quality actions.

F. This state does not allow you to be creative.

G. But successful people have a completely different purpose behind the actions they take.
