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 but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African-American winners.It was all right with me, he said years later. I didnt 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 me, he said later. But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat. In time, however, his gold medals 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. （1）Owens got his other name Jesse when _.A . he went to Ohio State UniversityB . his teacher made fun of himC . his teacher took J.

Carnegie Hall is known not just for its beauty and history, but also for its amazing sound, it has been said that the hall itself is an instrument. It takes the music and makes it larger than life.Carnegie Hall is named after Andrew Carnegie, who paid for its construction. He was a wealthy man who also gave a lot of money to schools and public libraries. Construction on Carnegie Hall began in 1890 and the official opening night was on May 5, 1891.The hall was owned by the Carnegie family until 1924 when it was sold to Robert E. Simon. The building became very old and in 1960, the new owner made plans to destroy it and build an office block. Isaac Stem led a group of people who fought to save Carnegie Hall and finally, the city of New York bought it for ￥5 million. It was then fixed up between 1983 and 1995.In 1986, people realized that Carnegie Hall had never kept proper records of its history. Advertisements and stories in newspapers about how Carnegie Hall needed help to recover its history led people to send in old concert programmes and information from all over the world. Over 12, 000 concert programmes were received and with these it was possible to make a proper record of Carnegie Halls concert history.Because the best and most famous musicians of all time have played at Carnegie Hall, it is the dream of most musicians who want to be great to play there. This has led to a very old joke which is now part of Carnegie Halls history. Question: How do I get to Carnegie Hall? Answer: Practise, practise, practise.（1）What do music lovers expect in Carnegie Hall? A . Musical concerts presented by first class performers.B . Exhibits and photographs of historical events.C .

Through newspaper reports.B . Through old concert programmes.C . Through old photographs.D . Through old jokes.（4）Why is the Carnegie Hall joke funny? A . Because you expect the answer to be directions and not advice.B . Because Carnegie Hall is a place where performers practice a lot.C . Because it is difficult to find your way to Carnegie Hall.D .
