“I was born to play football, just like Beethoven was born to write music and Michelangelo was born to paint,” Pelé famously said.
As a child, his first taste of soccer involved playing barefoot with socks and rags rolled up into a ball—a humble beginning that would grow into a long and fruitful career. “My dad was a good football player. He scored a lot of goals,” Pelé said. “He was my role model. I always wanted to be like him.”
Following Brazil's disheartening loss to Uruguay at the 1950 FIFA World Cup final, Pelé, 9 years old then, made a promise to his father that he would win the trophy (奖杯) for his dad and his nation. Eight years later, Pelé did exactly that by winning the World Cup title, much to joy of not just his father but the entire nation of Brazil. He would then go on to win the prestigious title two more times—in 1962 and 1970.
Another very glistering record is the amount of his mind-blowing goals and games. Brazil's football association and Santos say Pelé scored 1,283 goals in 1,367 matches, though FIFA puts the number at 1,281 goals in 1,366 games. Though, those figures are still no mere feat, but an accomplishment that earned him a Guinness World Record.
Apart from his achievements in football, Pelé was considered one of the most famous personalities in humanitarian causes. His experiences with poverty while growing up enabled him to work in partnership with many international organizations that provide vital aid to people across the globe. For example, he was the United Nations ambassador for ecology and the environment for quite a while. He helped raise funds and awareness for children's education and health around the world.
Brazilian footballer Neymar said, “He turned football into art, into entertainment. He gave a voice to the poor, and especially, he gave visibility to Brazil. Football and Brazil have raised their status thanks to the King!”
11.What was his football kit like when Pelé was a child
A.It's messy. B.It's poor. C.It's advanced. D.It's hard to get.
12.What motivates Pelé to win the World Cup originally
A.His affection for football. B.His father's achievements.
C.The promise to his father. D.The defeat against Uruguay in 1950.
13.What does the underlined word “glistering” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A.Promising. B.Rewarding. C.Eye-catching. D.Ice-breaking.
14.What do we know about Pelé
A.He had a passion for charities.
B.He gave a voice to the King.
C.He founded many international organizations.
D.He gave visibility to people across the globe.

We know that physical activity has proven health benefits, especially moderate-to-vigorous (剧烈的) physical activity such as walking to the store or many types of gardening. But perhaps surprisingly, we don't know much about the benefits of lighter forms of physical activity or the effects of spreading our physical activity throughout the day. According to the result of research, understanding the benefits of moving more often and engaging in even lighter forms of physical activity is important for older adults' health. These types of physical activity may be easier for older adults to practice regularly, especially those who are frail.
That's why a team of researchers created a study to examine the effects of performing light physical activity and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity on older adults. The researchers were interested in studying how participating in these different intensities of activity, and whether a person spreads their physical activity throughout the day, affect the chances for developing a major mobility disability. The participants in the study were older adults who had challenges with physical function and who participated in the Lifestyle Interventions and Independence for Elders (LIFE) study. The researchers published their study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.
The LIFE study examined whether a long-term exercise program could improve a major mobility disability. For the purposes of the study, the researchers considered that participants had a “major mobility disability” if they were unable to walk 400 meters. The people in the study ranged in age from 70 to 89 years old. Before the study, participants got less than 20 minutes of exercise a week, were able to walk 400 meters in less than 15 minutes, and were determined to be able to safely participate in the study.
The researchers concluded by echoing the current United States Physical Activity Guidelines, suggesting that a “move more, more often” recommendation is a good starting place for older adults who want to maintain physical functioning and an independent lifestyle.
15.What does the underlined word “frail” in paragraph 1 mean
A.Healthy. B.Weak. C.Strong. D.Active.
16.What's the purpose of the study mentioned in paragraph 2
A.To guide the proper way of physical activity.
B.To compare different forms of physical activity.
C.To test the impacts of different physical activities on older adults.
D.To show the necessity of participating in different activities.
17.Who might be thought to have a “major mobility disability”
A.The people who can't run 15 minutes.
B.The people who are from 70 to 89 years old.
C.The people who just exercise 20 minutes a week.
D.The people who are unable to walk 400 meters.
18.What's the main idea of the text
A.Being physically inactive makes the older adults less safe.
B.Older adults are likely to have challenges with physical function.
C.It is important for older adults to maintain an independent lifestyle.
D.Older adults should engage in light forms of physical activity more.
