James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.
“J. C.," he replied.
She thought he had said “Jesse", and he had a new name.
Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second?year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.
A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs.His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.
The stage was set for Owens' victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic(體育的) but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African?American winners.
“It was all right with me," he said years later. “I didn't go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway."
Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.
Owens' Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles, and dogs.
“Sure, it bothered(煩擾) me," he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat."
In time, however, his gold medals(獎牌) changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years," he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard."

科目:高中英語 來源:2014屆山東省高二10月月考英語試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解
Lee Humberg, district manager for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, is the man in charge of figuring out how to remove the flocks (群) of 15,000 to 20,000 Canada geese(大雁) that could strike planes flying in and out of the New York area. The Port Authority, the agency that manages airport in New York and New Jersey, estimates that there have been as many as 315 bird strikes annually in the past 30 years.
Bird strikes have been a hot topic since a US Airways jet suffered a “double strike” and made an emergency landing on the Hudson River in January 2009. All 155 passengers were rescued safely and the flight was called “Miracle on the Hudson”. The plane finally ended up at the Carolinas Aviation Museum. The next major bird strike may not have such a happy ending.
To thin the flocks, Humberg and his team have tracked down goose nests and killed eggs with corn oil. They’ve also terrified the birds with dogs, remote-controlled boats and kites that look like eagles. But the only method that effectively decreases the goose population is the one that angers animal lovers the most: gassing hundreds at a time.
“If all you are doing is goose harassment (騷擾) every day, it’s very frustrating, because you are just playing Ping-Pong with the birds,” Humberg told New York magazine. “It’s basically an arms race to come up with the tools to deal with them.”
Now New York City plans to send the geese captured to Pennsylvania to be cooked and distributed at food banks as meals for the poor. That might just be a fate better than flying into a 747 engine.
1.What can we learn form Humberg?
A. He does research on geese’s living conditions.
B. He makes efforts to protect wild birds.
C. He deals with the danger of birds at airports.
D. He tries to find newer and safer airlines.
2.Why was the flight called “Miracle on the Hudson”?
A. It suffered a “double strike”. B. It arrived at a plane museum.
C. It only caused a few deaths. D. It succeeded in landing on a river.
3.By saying “you are just playing Ping-Pong with the birds”, Humberg means ______.
A. It’s interesting to fight with the birds
B. It’s a skill-needed race against the birds
C. you can’t defeat the bird in the end
D. you should live with birds peacefully
4.It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. Canada geese can fly as high as planes
B. New York airlines are in poor management
C. bird strikes happen once a week on average
D. the poor may also benefit from Humberg’s work
