 Born on June 30, 1985 in Baltimore, Maryland, to Fred and Debbie Phelps, the
youngest of three children, Michael Phelps and his sisters grew up in the neighbourhood
of Rodger Forge. His father, Fred, a former all- rounded athlete, was a state trooper and
his mother Debbie was a middle-school principal. When Phelps's parents divorced in
1994, he and his siblings lived with their mother, with whom Michael grew very close.
Even at the age of 7, Phelps was still a little scared to put his head under water, so his
instructors allowed him to float around on his back. Not surprisingly, despite the fact that
later he is very good at butterfly swimming, the first stroke he mastered was not the
easily-practised breaststroke but the backstroke.
At the age of 15, Phelps became the youngest American male swimmer to compete
at an Olympic Games in 68 years. While he didn't win any medals at the 2000 Summer
Olympics in Sydney, Australia, he would soon become a major force in competitive
swimming.
In the spring of 2001, Phelps set the world record in the 200-meter butterfly,
becoming the youngest male swimmer in history at the age of 15 years and 9 months. At
the 2001 World Championships in Japan, he then broke his own record with a time of
1:54:58, earning his first international medal. In 2002, Phelps continued to establish
several records including the 100-meter butterfly and the 200-meter individual medley.
The following year, at the same event, he broke his own world record in the 400-meter
individual medley with a time of 4:09.09.
After the London Olympics in 2012, Phelps announced he was retiring from his
sport. However, at the 2016 Olympic Games, he came out of retirement and returned to
professional competition. This was also the event which he won one silver and five gold
medals, becoming the oldest individual gold medalist in Olympic swimming history, as
well as the first swimmer to win four consecutive golds in the same event, the 200-meter
individual medley.
1. Phelps's father used to be a comprehensive ____.
A. principal B. trooper C. athlete D. instructor
2. The first style of swimming Phelps was good at is ____.
A. butterfly B. freestyle C. breaststroke D. backstroke
3. He didn't win any medals at the Olympics of ____
A. 2002 B. 2000 C. 2012 D. 2016
4. At the 2001 World Championships in Japan, he broke the record of ____.
A. 200-meter butterfly B. 100-meter butterfly
C. 200-meter individual D. 400-meter individual

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct

Theresa May, the second female Britain's prime minister following Margaret
Thatcher, revealed in 2013 that she had been given a diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes, a
condition that requires daily insulin injections. Asked later how she felt about the
diagnosis, she said her approach to it was the same as toward everything in her life: “Just
get on and deal with it.” That kind of steeliness brought her to center stage in the
aftermath of Britain's vote to leave the European Union and the feuding that erupted in the
Conservative Party over who would succeed David Cameron.
Ms. May, 59 years old, is the country's longest-serving home secretary in half a
century, with a reputation for seriousness, hardwork and above all, determination. She is
one of a growing number of women in traditionally male-dominated British politics rising
to the upper position of leadership.
Born in 1956, Ms. May grew up mainly in Oxfordshire, an only child who was first
drawn to the Conservative Party at age 12. As a conscientious student, she never rebelled
against her religious upbringing and remains a regular churchgoer. Tellingly, her sports
hero was Geoffrey Boycott, a solid, stubborn cricketer who specialized in playing the long
game.
Like many other Britain's prime minister including Tony Blair, Sir Robert Peel and
Margaret Thatcher, she won a place at Oxford. But while almost every other political
leader got there by way of Eton College and joined Oxford's hedonistic Bullingdon Club,
she attended a state secondary school and had a more sedate university career. After
unsuccessful attempts to be elected to the House of Commons in 1992 and 1994, she
finally became an MP in 1997 general election.
May is known for a love of fashion and in particular distinctive shoes. She even
wore leopard-print shoes to her final Cabinet meeting as Home Secretary in early 2016.
However, she has been quite critical of the media focusing on her fashion instead of her
achievement as a politician. May also describes cooking and walking as primary hobbies,
and if someone is raising questions about why walking can be classified as a hobby, she
elaborates in a column for Balance magazine, in which she wrote of her battle with
diabetes.

1. According to the passage, who is the prime minister coming before Theresa May?

A. British political life is conventionally controlled mainly by men.

C. Conservative Party didn't have to discuss about who would be the next prime
minister.
D. Theresa May's toughness was one of the reasons for the Party to choose her for
the prime minister position.
4. Which of the following facts is TRUE about Theresa May?
A. She graduated from Eton College.
