Province. His family"s income made it necessary for him to give up his study and take up farming when only
in the second year of junjor middle school.
     In 1969 Zhao suffered from a skin disease and during the following two years he visited doctors in
Hangzhou, the capital of the province. While in Hangzhou he learnt enough knowledge of medicine to become
a "village doctor". Later he opened a health centre in his village and treated patients with common skin diseases.
     Many people in his village and surrounding areas suffered from baldness. A young woman teacher in his
village was one such case. Always jeered (嘲笑) at by her pupils, her-self esteem (自尊) was seriously injured
and she quit (退职) her job, she locked herself away at home for seven years even refusing to visit her own
parents. Many cases and others kept nagging (唠叨) at Zhao and he determined to find a treatment for baldness
and bring back happiness to his patients.

阅读理解。                                                              David Beckham
      As a Manchester United player, David Beckham is used to winning. He is one of the most famous
Englishmen in the World today.
      Of course, it is impossible to have an unbiased opinion of this young man or the team that he plays
for. If you are a Man Utd fan, you love him. If you aren"t a fan of this team, then your opinion of Mr.
Beckham may be quite different. In fact, in recent times, his treatment by fans of other teams has been
extremely unsavoury, especially when he has been playing for England. Some of the worst words have
not even been aimed at Beckham but at his wife and young child, which is a bad thing. It has been hard
for the football leaders to control such unruly behaviour. How can you discipline people for their comments
when so many people are guilty? But under the pressure of being shouted at by so many people, he has
always remained calm.
      Of course, a lot of the bad things about Beckham are due to his own actions. He is a very fashionable
young man, but some of the clothes he has worn have been simply amazing. Why a person in his position
would choose to wear a skirt in public is truly unbelievable! Furthermore, to wear such things in
unseasonable times as mid-winter seems even crazier!
      His behavior on the football pitch has also been unpredictable at times. Sometimes he is brilliant;
sometimes he does crazy things. Some of the most famous footballing incidents involving Beckham are not
his spectacular goals but his ungainly tackles. The most famous occasion was in France "98, when a clumsy
tackle led to him being sent off.
      However, he is not guilty of such things, and if he can stop such behavior he could even become
England"next captain. 1. David Beckham is ______ in the world. [     ]
A. unknown
B. not popular
C. famous
D. unfashionable 2. Once, Beckham wore ______ in public in mid-winter. [    ]
