Diego Maradona acknowledged(承認(rèn)) that he struck the ball with his hand in the famous “Hand of God “ goal against England in the 1986 World Cup quarterfinals.

Maradona appeared to hit the ball with his hand into the net, and officials allowed the goal to stand despite protests by the English team. Argentina went on to win the 1986 quarterfinal match 2-1 and then win the World Cup.

In his most detailed comments yet, Maradona said he was unable to reach the ball for a header(頭球) when he went up against the taller English goalkeeper, Peter Shilton.

After the score, Maradona said he quickly realized the line referee(裁判) had allowed the goal but none of themselves were figuring the goal would be effective.

“I was waiting for my teammates to hug me and no one came,” said Maradona, who was the team captain. “I told them, ‘Come and hug me or the referee isn’t going to allow it.’”

In his 20-year career before retiring in 1997, Maradona starred at Argentinas Juniors and Boca Juniors and in Europe. He also led Argentina league titles(冠軍).

In 1991, Maradona failed a drug test and was banned for 15 months. Nine years later, FiFA chose him and Pele as the best players in soccer history.

The small unframed painting called “Fisherman” was signed by a little-known Italian artist, Maveleone (1669-1740). When it was sold recently in New York for $ 27000, the seller, Mr. Oliver Pitt, was asked to explain how the picture had come into his possession.

Pitt said, “I didn’t know it was so valuable. I’m not an art expert. Photography is my hobby. I bought ‘Fisherman’ in Italy in 1970 for $140．the picture was dirty, and I couldn’t see the artist’s signature. But anyway it wasn’t the picture that I like. I bought it because of the frame.”

“It’s most unusual frame, made of tiny, silvery sea-shells. They are set in such a way that they reflect perfect light onto the surface of a picture. I now have a photograph of my wife in that frame, and I’ll never part with it.”

“When I returned to New York I showed the painting in its frame to a customs officer. I told him that I had paid $140 for it but admitted I didn’t know its actual worth. The customs man valued it at $ 140, and I was asked to pay duty on that value. I did so, there and then.”

“Later, I took off the frame, and that uncovered Maveleone’s signature. My wife suggested in fun that the painting might be a valuable one, so I cleaned it and put it up for sale.”

As a result of his explanation, Oliver Pitt had to appear in court. He was accused of (指控) knowingly making a false statement of the value of a picture so as to cheat the Customs Department.

Pitt was not happy. “I told the truth as I knew it then,” he said, “What else could I say?”

And then the judge agreed with him. “The Customs Department is to be responsible (blame),” he said, “for making a true valuation of goods bought into the country, so that the correct amount of duty may be charged. Mr Pitt did not cause or try to cause the mistake that was made. He paid the duty that was demanded. If now, the Customs Department finds that its valuation was not correct, it cannot be allowed to have another try. Pitt is not guilty.

Pitt met the customs officer __________, where the officer was employed to ________.

       A．a(chǎn)t the railway station or airport; examine people’s baggage

       B．a(chǎn)t the airport or port; examine people’s baggage

       C．a(chǎn)t the bus-stop; help people enter the USA

       D．a(chǎn)t the airport or port; help people enter the USA

From the passage we can infer that if Maveleone had been a well-know artist _________.

       A．the painting would have cost much more than $ 140

       B．he wouldn’t have sold his painting at such a low price

       C．the customs officer wouldn’t have valued the painting at $ 140

       D．Pitt wouldn’t have had the intention to buy any of his paintings

Pitt took off the frame in order to ____________.

       A．clean the painting to put it up for sale

       B．look for the artist’s signature

       C．use if for his wife’s photograph

       D．find the painting’s true value

Which is true according to the passage?

       A．Pitt knew the true value of the picture.

       B．Pitt’s wife knew the true value of the picture.

       C．When Pitt’s wife suggested keeping the picture, she was kind of joking.

       D．Pitt didn’t pay any duty at all.

Which of the following statements is true to the story? In the end __________.

       A．Pitt was asked to pay the correct amount of duty.

       B．Pitt sold the frame of the painting at an even higher price.

       C．The Customs Department had no right to revalue the painting.

       D．Pitt’s wife was regarded as an expert because of her wise suggestion.

I sometimes wonder if old Finchley has the right personality to be a research scientist. He keeps asking when he’ll be coming back. After all, it was his own fault. Nobody tries out what has just been invented on themselves any more but Finchley. Well, he must have pumped about a thousand c. c. s into himself before I noticed he was clearly becoming smaller.

  It was funny watching him, because his clothes remained the same in size. They simply piled up around him so that he looked like a small boy in his father’s clothes. But he kept getting smaller and smaller. As my colleague Dawson and I watched him, he disappeared! All we could see was Finchley’s clothes on the floor. They looked so strange, because the lab coat was on top, shirt and trousers inside and, I suppose, underclothes inside again. It gave me a strange feeling, and I think Dawson was a bit shaken, too.

  Dawson was sitting on his chair in front of a microscope he’d been using to examine a family of mites(螨蟲). He looked through the scope kind of absently again, and was nearly scared to lose awareness when he found old Finchley waving back from the other end.

  It seems as if Finchley had taken a free ride on a dust mite and landed on the land of the mite family. Of course, we didn’t know till Finchley told us later. But anyhow, as I said, Dawson nearly passed out. He jumped off his chair and pointed at the microscope, to shocked to speak.

Finchley disappeared because ________.

 A. he took something poisonous

 B. he was changed into a dust mite

 C. his father’s clothes totally covered him up

 D. what he and his colleagues invented resulted in his disappearace

It frightened Dawson to see Finchley _______.

 A. got into his scope by accident          B. was waving through his telescope

 C. suddenly got lost in his clothes        D. gradually disappeared in the lab

It can be inferred that Finchley, Dawson and the writer have possibly invented _____.

 A. some kind of medicine               B. a new powerful microscope

 C. a machine to make people small          D. a new way to make a culture of mite

It can probably be concluded that Finchley ________.

 A. passed out there and then               B. is not fit to be a scientist

 C. is a devoted scientist                  D. will remain tiny all the time
