What Makes a Soccer Player Great?

Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world, but there have been only a few players who were truly great. How did these players get that way — was

it through training and practice, or are great players

“born not made”？ First, these players came from places that have had famous stars in the past — players that a young boy can look up to (敬仰) and try to imitate. In the history of soccer, only six countries have ever won the World Cup — three from South America and three from Europe. There has never been a national team — or a really great player — from North America or from Asia. Secondly, these players all had years of practice in the game. Alfredo Di Stefano was the son of a soccer player, as was Pele. Most players began playing the game at the age of three or four.

Finally, many great players come from the same kind of neighbourhood — a poor, crowded area where a boy's dream is not to be a doctor, lawyer or businessman, but to become a rich, famous athlete or entertainer. For example, Liverpool, which produced the Beatles, had one of the best English soccer teams in recent years. Pele practised in the street with a “ball” made of rags. And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall in the slums (贫民区) of Belfast.

All great players have a lot in common, but that doesn't explain why they are great. Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets, but only one became Pele. The greatest players are born with some unique quality that sets them apart from all the others.

B

Anger is not wrong.I know this statement seems shocking and challenges the wildly popular “Positive Thinking” movement, which encourages us to “be full of positive energy” and “let go of our anger”．However, the truth is that anger is just an emotion, and emotions are neither right nor wrong.We do not consciously choose them.We do, on the other hand, choose how we express our emotions and there are definitely right and wrong means of expression.

The reason we're often urged to “keep_a_lid_on” our anger is that few people ever learn proper and positive ways to express anger.Instead, we are taught that “anger is wrong”and “you should keep your anger inside”．But these messages don't change the fact that, for most of us, anger exists.

Many popular “Positive Thinking” programmes assume that success comes from “controlling our emotions”and that this can be done by simply repeating positive statements.Interestingly, these positive slogans often include a lot of negativity. “Only losers complain！I am a winner！” is one popular saying.The belief that those

who disagree with us are losers is actually quite negative and is often used as an excuse for rude language and personal attacks.

When it comes to dealing with negative situations in our daily lives, the ability to reasonably express anger or disagreement is an important skill.But we must use balanced and non-violent methods to express our dissatisfaction.Frustration at unfair policies or treatment can certainly cause anger, but our anger can never be an excuse for abusing family members, damaging schools, attacking doctors or most seriously, engaging in terrorism.

Instead of pretending that anger doesn't exist, we should start teaching appropriate means of dealing with anger.When we experience angry feelings in ourselves or others, what we should “let go of ” is the silly idea that we can remove anger with just a few sweet words.Instead, we should find reasonable solutions to the causes of those angry feelings.We need to accept anger as a natural emotion but stop using it as an excuse for violent and destructive behaviour.Anger isn't wrong, but failure to deal with it appropriately is.

C．Following such advice can improve people's chances for success. D．Most of the people who participate in such programmes are dishonest. 解析：选B 细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容可知，作者认为“Positive Thinking”只不过是让人重复积极的话，有时还会有消极作用，对解决愤怒问题没有帮助。故选B项。

6. The underlined expression “keep a lid on” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “________”．

A．freely express C．hold inside

B．always forgive D．completely forget

解析：选C 短语猜测题。根据画线短语后“few people ever learn proper and positive ways to express anger.Instead, we are taught that‘anger is wrong’and‘you should keep your anger inside’．”可知，此处是让人们隐藏愤怒的意思。故选C项。

B．The viewpoints of people who hold the opposite opinion to the writer.
