On the field he’s the graceful, creative, and spectacularly skillful star of both Brazil’s national team and one of soccer’s wealthiest, most ambitious clubs. In early August, the 25-year-old moved from Spain’s FC Barcelona to France’s Paris Saint-Germain in the most expensive soccer deal ever. He’s known simply as Neymar, and he brings fans all over the world to their feet.

But sitting at the piano, he’s Neymar da Silva Santos Junior. That’s his full, given name, and during a June photo shoot inside a crowded studio, it took him several minutes to gather the nerve to try a couple of songs, including the theme from the classic track-and-field film Chariots of Fire.

Neymar left Brazil for Barcelona in 2013 and says, “There was a piano in the house when I moved in!” It was fate. He enjoys being around musicians—there’s video of him playing soccer with Justin Bieber—and he’s even been known to climb onstage during concerts back home.

“I like to get to know people I admire,” he says. “Some of them are athletes, and some of them are singers.”

Maybe someday he’ll be able to play along. Neymar has been using YouTube clips to teach himself piano, and he enjoys a variety of music—from Brazilian country music to Bieber and John Legend. It’s a valuable diversion for someone who’s under a very bright spotlight.

“Sometimes I’m a little active—sometimes I’m quiet. I like to have fun,” he says. “We have only one life, so we have to figure out a way to be happy.” 28. What’s the purpose of paragraph 1? A. To show Naymar’s ambition in soccer. B. To tell us about Brazil’s national soccer team. C. To draw our attention and introduce the star Neymar. D. To indicate Naymar’s potential and popularity in Europe. 29. What can we learn about Neymar?

A. He likes to acquaint himself with musicians. B. He moved to Barcelona and bought a piano.

C. His nickname is Neymar da Silva Santos Junior. D. He even performed onstage when he was in Barcelona. 30. What does the last paragraph want to tell us? A. Life is full of possibilities.

B. The only purpose of life is to have fun. C. Live our life to the fullest and be happy.

D. We should develop our interests as many as possible. 31. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. A Brazil Pianist. B. A Successful Soccer Star. C. The Legend of a Musician. D. Piano Man.

I was in the line at Dunkin Donuts. The couple in front of me had ordered their food and stepped to the side. I walked to order mine. Quick and simple. Then I noticed a young man. I could tell he was not having the best of luck and it showed on his face. He walked in carrying his belongings in a torn plastic bag. The couple ahead of me turned, looked, and then turned away. The lady grabbed her purse tighter and her husband quickly stood in front of her.

I moved over so he could order. He looked at the board, checked his pockets and didn’t seem to have enough for anything. So, he turned around and walked out. I picked up my coffee and followed him out. He had gone maybe five paces when I shouted, “Hey! Do you want a donut?” A little embarrassed, he said, “I don’t have any money. I told him to come on back in. As we approached the counter the couple who were still inside looked shocked and confused. We approached the cashier and I said, “What kind do you want?” He whispered, “Jelly.” I said, “Go ahead. Tell her what you want.”

“Jelly donut please,” he said. The cashier looked at me and said, “Is that it?” I looked at him. “Do you want anything else?” “Can I have a coffee?” he asked me. I said, “Yes. Tell her.” He did. The total came to $2. 30, which is small change compared to what the typical person spends in a day. But to him it made a great difference.

I walked out and the couple were outside talking. The lady whispered to me, “I am glad you did that—before he tried to rob the place for a donut.” I stopped, looked at her, and said, “Are you a Christian?” She said, “Of course!” I said, “Are you sure? Because aren’t Christians supposed to love their brothers and sisters and help them when they need it, and not judge?” She didn’t have a response.

32. Why did the couple get nervous immediately they saw the young man? A. Because the young man looked like a murderer. B. Because they had been robbed by the young man before. C. Because the young man tried to rob them of their money.

D. Because they thought the young man might be a dangerous person. 33. The lady didn’t have a response in the end because _____.

A. she didn’t want to answer the author’s question

B. she thought the author’s question was not worth answering C. she was ashamed for her not having helped the young man D. she had to find out a perfect answer to the author’s question 34. We can infer from the passage that _____. A. the author might be a Christian B. the author must be a rich man C. the author was always kind to anyone D. the author was the young man’s friend 35. What can we learn from the passage?

A. As a Christian, he or she only has the duty to help other Christians. B. Everyone, especially those Christians, should be ready to help other people. C.
