What Makes a Soccer Player Great?
Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world,but there have only been few play-ers who were truly great.How did these players get that way—was it through training and prac- tice,or are great players“born,not made”?First,these players came from places that have had famous stars in the past-players that a young boy can look up to and try to imitate.In the history of soccer,only six countries have ever won the World Cup-three from South America and three from western Europe .There has never been a great national team-or a really great player-from North America or from Asia.Second,these players have all had years of practice in the game. Alfredo Di Stefano was the son of a soccer player,as was Pele.Most players begin playing the game at the age of three or four.
Finally,many great players come from the same kind of neighborhood—a poor,crowded area where a boy's dream is not to be a doctor,lawyer,or businessman,but to become a rich,famous athlete or entertainer. For example,Liverpool,which produced the Beetles,had one of the best
English soccer teams in recent years.Pele practiced in the street with a“ball”made of rags.And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall in the slums of Belfast.
All great players have a lot in common,but that doesn't explain why they are great. Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets,but only one became Pele.The greatest play-ers are born with some unique quality that sets them apart from all the others.

The author attributes a soccer player's success to all the following factors EXCEPT
A: his family background
B: his neighbourhood
C: his practice
D: his height

The Need to Remember
Some people say they have no memory at all:"I just can't remember a thing!"But of course we all have a memory.Our memory tells us who we are.Our memory helps us to make use in the present of what we have learnt in the past.
In fact we have different types of memory.For example,our visual memory helps us recall facts and places.Some people have such a strong visual memory that they can remember exactly what they have seen,for example,pages of a book,as a complete picture.
Our verbal（言语的）memory helps us remember words and figures we may have heard but not seen or written:Items of a shopping list,a chemical formula,dates,or a recipe.
With our emotional（情感的）memory, we recall situations or places where we had; strong feelings,perhaps of happiness or unhappiness. We also have special memories for smell,taste, touch and sound,and for performing physical movements.
We have two ways of storing any of these memories. Our short-term memory stores items for up to thirty seconds-enough to remember a telephone number while we dial.Our long-term mem-ory,on the other hand,may store items for a lifetime. Older people in fact have a much biter long-term memory than short-term .They may forget what they have done only a few hours ago,but have the clearest remembrance（记忆）of when they were very young.
Psychologists tell us that we only remember a few facts about our past,and that we invent the rest. It is as though we remember only the outline of a story.We then make up the details. We of-ten do this in the way we want to remember them,usually so that we appear as the heroes of our own past , or maybe victims needing sympathy（同情）.

Visual memory helps us recall a place we have been to.
