A couple of years ago, before a trip to China, Nicole Davis and her US women’s volleyball teammates were warned about the prominence (显著、突出) of coach “Jenny” Lang Ping in her native country.
“I was pushed over by Chinese journalists while I was just trying to put my luggage on the bus,” said Davis.
Known as the “Iron Hammer” for her punishing spikes(扣球), Lang made it possible for China to dominate in the sport in the early 1980s. She was a key player on China’s 1984 Olympic gold medal winning team.
When the US team arrived for the Olympics, Lang, 48, who is from Beijing, had to take a
different route to avoid a crowd of reporters and fans.
Then came the greatest moment to Lang:While the US team was playing in a packed gym, at least 8,000 Chinese fans unfurled an American flag.
“That really says it all,” Davis said. “They look at her as an icon(偶像).
I’m sure it’s hard for them to see her coaching another country, but they love her so dearly that her success is their success.”
The loyalty of the Chinese fans was tested on Friday, when China lost a match to the US. “It’s a pity that China lost the match, but I’m still glad that Lang Ping’s team won, since she is the pride of China’s volleyball,” said Liu Chengli, a spectator. “We also cheered for Lang’s victory.”
Lang said she just tried to stay professional when the two teams meet. “It doesn’t matter if we play China or any other team. It’s the same.” Lang said.
Davis said she and her teammates could not have imagined the passion for volleyball among Chinese because the sport was lack of popularity in the US. The reception from Chinese fans has touched the US players, said US volleyball player Lindsey Berg.
“It’s such an honor to be here and play for our coach here in China,” she said. “The amount of support that the Chinese give to her and us has been tremendous. The whole event has been unbelievable.”
( )41.What’s the passage mainly about?
A.Staying professional. B.Cheering for the Iron Hammer. C.A match between China and the US. D.Lang Ping’s career as a coach. ( )42.Lang Ping avoided meeting the reporters and fans probably because she _____.
A.was afraid to be questioned about her strategy B.didn’t want to be paid much attention to C.disliked to be with her fans D.didn’t want to disturb public order
( )43.What does the underlined word “unfurled” exactly mean? A.destroyed completely B.tore into pieces C.spread out to the wind D.rolled up
( )44.What does Lang Ping mean by saying “It doesn’t matter if we play China or any other team.”?
A.American Volleyball Team will beat any team.
B.Chinese Volleyball Team is the same as other teams. C.She just tried to stay professional. D.The results of each match will be the same. ( )45.What impressed the US team players most? A.The tolerance of Chinese people. B.The popularity of volleyball in China. C.Lang Ping’s coaching skills.

It’s no secret that many students do not like to say in classrooms and study all day. 46 : Quite a lot of them don’t like outdoor PE classes either.
“Our three PE classes every week are all run, run and run. It’s for our High School Entrance Examination (中考),said Li Liangjing, 15 , a junior 3 student from Xiamen.
47 . Two months ago, the Shanghai University of Sport made a survey from over 110,000 students and worked out teenagers’ physical index (指数). For junior high school students, their physical health score is 94.1, which is quite good. But this doesn’t mean they are active in sports, because their awareness (意识) and willingness (意愿) to do physical exercises only scores at 74.8. 48 , reported the Paper News.
Because of that, the Shanghai Education committee decided to put more importance on the general physical quotient (体商) of teenagers. This means that schools should pay attention to not only students’ health and sports test scores, but also their knowledge, skills and willingness to do exercises.
Thus, making PE classes more fun and growing students’ interests in sports seems necessary, according to the deputy director (副主任) of the Shanghai Education Committee, Wang Ping. 49 , such as throwing the handkerchief (手绢) and the eagle and the chickens. They also teach students different sports like tennis, swimming and martial art (武术).
A. We want to see sports become a lifestyle for teenagers B. In other words, many teenagers are forced to exercise C. Li is not the only one
“ 50 , which can be good for all their lives,” said Wang. And experts (专家) from the Shanghai University of Sport are planning to introduce the idea to more provinces.
D. But there is another truth
E. Over 80 schools in Shanghai have already included some games into PE classes
