History has arrived Nine-year-old Barack Obama was looking through magazine. But the African-America boy was shocked by a series of photos. The pictures were of a black man who destroyed his skin with chemicals that promised to make him white. For the first time, the boy began to doubt who he was. "I stood in front of the mirror and wondered if something was wrong with me," Obama said. However, now the boy who used to struggle with his identity doesn"t see it as a problem any more, but an advantage for his career. Last week, Obama made history by being elected as the first black president of the US. He defeated John MaCain in a landslide (压倒性的) victory. Obama"s story starts in opposite corners of the world. His white mother was born in the heartland of the US. His black father grew up in a tiny village in Kenya. They met during in Hawaii, but his father left the family when Obama was just two years old and his mother moved to Indonesia. At 10, Obama moved back to live with his white grandparents in Hawaii where his sense that he didn"t belong grew. At his class a white boy asked Obama if his father ate people. Out of embarrassment, Obama lied to his classmates that his father was prince, "I kept asking who I am and I ended up trying drugs and drinking," Obama recalled. Things came to change after the young man made friends with those with a similar background at college. Their experiences back in Africa helped Obama to finally face up to his African origin. He worked hard to become a star at Harvard Law School and the third black senator (参议院) in US history. At the beginning of his campaign for the White House, few people viewed Obama favorably (赞同地). Many doubted his unusual background, which left him neither "black" enough nor white enough. But Obama turned his pain of growing up into a tool to make Americans believe: "There is not a black America, an Asian America. There"s the United States of America." Barack Obama"s victory is "a historic victory that promised change and overcame centuries of prejudice (偏见). His success fulfilled Martin Luther King"s dream that a man he judged not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character," wrote ABC news.

When Lew Alcindor was 13, and obviously still growing, a group of schools began offering him scholarships (奖学金). The Alcindors decided to send their only child to Power Memorial Academy, a small school on Manhattan"s West Side. At Power, Alcindor came under the control of Coach Jack Donohue, a strict young man who already gained his fames as one of the best coaches in the city. Donohue brought Alcindor along slowly. As a first-year student, the boy was not able to do much but wave his long skinny arms and shoot a basket now and then. But by the second year, when he was 15 years old and nearly 7 feet tall, Alcindor was quick and skillful enough to make the high school All-American team and to lead Power to an undefeated season. From then on he simply got better. Some rival coaches (对方教练) used to take their teams quickly away from the floor before Power warmed up so that their players would not see him any sooner than they had to. Wearing size 16 D shoes and sucking a lollipop (棒棒糖), Alcindor would loosen up by starting his leaping lay-ups (擦板球). Then he would casually shoot the ball with either hand, to the delight of the fans. When reporters and photographers began to follow Alcindor closely, Donohue protected his boy firmly. He simply ordered Lew to talk to no member of the press, and this suited Lew fine. He was not comfortable talking to grown-ups, perhaps because he towered over them. Discouraged photographers began following him in secret as though he were an easily-frightened giraffe. Once after ducking into a subway to escape, Alcindor told a friend that it was all becoming like policemen and robbers. "People want you not for yourself," Donohue warned him, "but because you"re a basketball player. Don"t forget that."
1. Many schools offer Alcindor scholarships because ______.
A. he was young B. he was hardworking C. he was tall for his age D. he was skillful at playing basketball .
2. Which of the following best describes Donohue as a young coach?
A. serious, popular and slow B. tall, skillful and successful C. kind, powerful and undefeated D. well-known, strict and experienced
3. Why did some rival coaches take their teams away from the floor before Power warmed up?
A. Their teams refused to play Power. B. Their teams feared to see Alcindor. C. Their teams would lose courage. D. Their teams would lose interest.
4. What does the last paragraph mainly discuss?
A. How Donohue protected Alcindor from the press. B. How Alcindor disliked meeting reporters. C. Why the press followed Alcindor closed. D. Why the public wanted Alcindor badly
