Sports are all about change. A team gets better. A kid practices more and swims a personal best or learns a new move on the basketball court. In 2006, two things happened that got me thinking about change—in sports and in life.
One of them is tennis champion Andre Agassi, who retired in 2006. Agassi was a terrific player who won 60 titles, including eight major championships(冠军称号).
At the start of a new year, lots of people promise themselves they will change. They might vow to get in good physical shape, do better in school or be nicer to others. Changes such as those can be difficult. But they do happen. Just remember Andre Agassi: It wasn't easy, but he changed, and changed for the better.
8. According to the writer, which of the following may be the greatest achievement for Agassi?
A. He once ranked No.1 in the world rankings. B. He won 60 titles.
C. He changed much during his career. D. He won 8 major championships.
9. What does the underlined work “vow” in the 4th paragraph probably mean?
A. promise. B. agree. C. become. D. prove.
10. What do you know about Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation?
A. It is intended to help at-risk kids.
B. It is a charity school set up by Agassi.
C. Some disadvantaged kids can get help from it.
D. Agassi runs it with his prize money.
11. What might be talked about in the paragraphs following this passage?
A. What achievements Agassi has made after he changed for the better.
B. How we can change for the better.

We should protect the wildlife
At present, the number of wild animals has decreased rapidly, and some species are even facing the danger of extinction. It is man who has destroyed their habitat. If a large number of wild animals die out, we will break the balance of nature. In turn, we will be punished by nature.
Wild animals are our friends. We should try our best to protect them. Measures should be taken as follows. First, try to tell everyone it is our duty to protect wild animals. Second, nature reserves should be set up to make their living conditions comfortable. Third, laws should be made to forbid all those illegal deeds done to wild animals. Fourth, the government should encourage ecologists to do much scientific research into the wildlife.
Let’s take immediate action to do what we can to protect the wildlife.
