Mr Green, a London taxi-driver, has a new black taxi. With his taxi he hurries through the busy streets every day.
One day when he was having a short rest, a young man jumped into his taxi. “To the station as fast as you can,” said the man in a very friendly way. “My train leaves at three o’clock.”
Mr Green did this best, but there was a lot of traffic. At every corner there was a red light. “Hurry up, man! I don’t want to miss my train,” said the young man. “And I don’t want to have an accident,” answered Mr Green quietly.
While he was driving, Mr Green looked in the mirror and suddenly saw the man’s face. He was a thief. The police were looking for him. His picture was in the newspaper.
Mr Green raced through the streets and drove through red lights. Soon there was a police car behind him. Mr Green raced on until he reached the station. He stopped in front of the station at two minutes to three and the young man quickly jumped out of the taxi.
“Stop! Stop!” cried Mr Green. At the moment the police car stopped Mr Green. Two policemen rushed into the station. Three minutes later they returned with the young man. “Well done!” the policemen said to Mr Green as they were taking the thief to the police car.

2. There was a lot of traffic in the streets of London.

newspaper.

The word “sport” first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds.
About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today. People spend a lot of their spare time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they want to. A few people are paid for the sport they play. These people are called professional sportsmen (职业运动员). They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best one can earn a lot of money.
For example, a professional footballer in England earns more than $30,000 a year. The stars earn a lot more. International golf (高尔夫球) and tennis champions (网球锦标赛) can make more than $50,000 in a year. Of course, only a few sportsmen can earn as much money as that. It is possible in sports for individuals like golf, tennis and motor-racing. Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is this: The stars can earn more money from advertising than from sport. An advertiment for sports equipment (运动装备) does not simply say “Buy our thing.” It says “Buy the same shirt and shoes as...” Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their names or photographs of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people’s spare time.
1. The word “sport” now usually means________.
A) organized games B) hunting wild animals and birds
C) games played during people’s spare time D) professional games
2. A “professional” sportsman is someone who_______.
A) earns a lot of money B) plays a sport for a number of years
C) likes sport very much D) earns money by playing a sport
3. Famous sports stars can earn _________ money from advertising than sport.
A) less B) more C) no D) a lot of
4. “Spare time” means ______ time.
A) own B) great C) free D) home
5. Which of the following is NOT true ___________.
A) Many famous sportsmen can earn money besides playing sports games
B) Professional footballers play football all their lives
C) If a company uses the photos of a famous sportsman, they will pay for him.
D) The author (作者) tells us three different meanings of the word “sport” in this passage
6. Which is the best topic of this passage _______
A) Sport and Money B) Sports Games
C) People’s Spare Time D) Professional Sportsmen
