Task 2
Read the following passage about a former 800 metres Olympic champion. Choose A, B or C to
answer the questions.
In 1988, Maria Mutola was playing football as the only girl in an all-boys team in a local competition in
Mozambique. ‘We won” she said. ‘At first no one thought it was a problem that I was a girl. But then
the team we beat complained.’
The story appeared in a local newspaper and José Craveirinha, who had encouraged other African
athletes, learnt about Maria. He went to meet her and found her kicking a ball around outside the football
club. He realised immediately that she was fast. ‘He talked to me about athletics. I had no idea what he
meant. The only sport I knew about was football. Then he bought me running shoes and took me training.
It was such hard work and my legs really ached but José visited her parents and persuaded them she
could be successful and this would help end their poverty. They agreed to let him take her away to train.
In 1991, she finally accepted an invitation to train in the United States. She had refused previously
because she knew she would miss her family. Her background was unlike those of the girls she met in
the US. She explains, ‘They were good athletes but, while I worried about my parents having enough to
eat, they worried about dresses and make-up. They knew very little about me and even less about my
problems. But I knew I was lucky to be there. The trainers were brilliant and I learnt a lot.’
Today, Maria still runs and for most of the year she lives happily in South Africa with her mother.
24. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. to persuade more Africans to take up athletics
B. to describe how Maria became a top athlete
C. to give information about Mozambique
25. How did José get to know Maria?
A. He met her in a local football competition.
B. He read an article about her in a newspaper.
C. An African athlete introduced her to him.
26. When José first introduced Maria to athletics, she
A. didn’t know what was involved.
B. was worried about being injured.
C. didn’t think her family would agree.
27. Why did Maria not agree to go to the US at first?
A. because her legs really ached.
B. because she thought she would feel homesick.
C. because she did not like people there.
28. How does Maria feel of the opportunity to go to the US?
A. worried
B. problematic
C. happy
29. What does Maria say about the girls she met in the US?
A. Their life experiences were very different from hers.
B. They were not as good as her.
C. They did not show enough respect for the trainers.
30. Where does Maria spend most of her time?
