He began taking an interest in golf when he was just six months old. He would watch his dad, Earl, hit golf balls into a net and would try to copy his swing. He was given the nickname Tiger after a Vietnamese soldier and friend of his father. Tiger Woods appeared on TV practicing his swing at the age of two and by the time he was three, he had already shot a 48 on a nine-hole course. When he was five, the golf world began to take notice of Tiger and he was featured on the cover of Golf Digest. Tiger Woods was just 16 and still in high school when he played in his first professional golf tournament — the Nissan Los Angeles Open. Two years later, he went to college at Stanford University where he won ten collegiate events and the NCAA title. While he appeared in only a handful of professional tournaments during his years in college, it wasn't long before Tiger Woods would be winning pro events at a ridiculous rate. Tiger Woods, who is now 28 years old, has had an amazing career since becoming a pro golfer in 1996. He has won 53 worldwide tournaments, 40 of those wins were on the PGA TOUR, including eight major championships: the 1997, 2001, and 2002 Masters, the 1999 and 2000 PGA Championships, the 2000 and 2002 U.S. Open Championship and the 2000 British Open. Tiger has now won an incredible 9 out of 16 World Golf Championship events he has played in.
Tiger relates to the book because he is a hero to others near and far. People around the world notice his dedication, time spent working to perfect his game, his fitness routines and since he is young, all the kids like that. Even if you didn't play golf, you would know who Tiger is and he has influenced many people to take up the game and learn more than just how to play: to learn the integrity and rules which also help you in life.
To wrap things up, Tiger Woods started the game at a young age and set many records that may never be broken and has changed the game forever. He's a hero, incredible golfer, and a generous giving man. He works hard at everything he does and gives back whenever he can. That is why I chose Tiger to be my hero.

Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
Success is not something that people achieve by chance or because luck is on their side. It involves hard work, effort and planning. You have to set a goal and then follow it up with relevant action.
That is success in general. What is success in business? In business, success can have different forms — a flush financial status, happy customers, top position in the market, rise in the prices of your stock, spreading of the business overseas, and the capability to launch into new endeavors time and again. Each business institution defines success in its own way. What is success to one organization may not even be important for another.
Whatever your definition may be for success, there is a strategy behind being successful in business. Let's find out what this strategy is all about.
Understand your Limitations & Maximize your Potential
In business you need to evaluate your strengths and your weaknesses too. There is no shame in admitting that you have certain limitations and there is nothing to be gained from ignoring the limitations of your business. Overcoming your limitations is one thing and turning a blind eye to them is another. While the former indicates strength and adaptability, the latter only suggests foolishness. There is no point in trying to develop your weakness. Instead, work on your potential and maximize your strengths. Be Prepared to Adapt and Improvise
You can never be sure that things will always go as planned by you. Sometimes, you are hit with problems that are unforeseen, or you have to face situations that you may not be prepared for. In such situations, you need to think on your feet and follow a course of action that has been adapted or made up on the spur of the moment. If you are open to the idea of being flexible, you will not be daunted by the problems that you will face in the future.
Build a Strong Business Network
No one can deny the importance of networking in today's world. What is business after all without a strong network? You have to make the effort to build relationships with fellow businessmen, advisors, mentors, and prospective clients. Once you have a network, you can get support, assistance and direction and it can help your business grow exponentially. Be Committed Towards your Customers
Your commitment towards your customers should be unwavering. Understand the needs of your customers, carry out research and studies on what your customers are looking for, and find ways to exceed their expectations. Never compromise on the promise that you've made to your customers. If you have a loyal customer base, you can be ensured that your business will continue to grow and you will make profits.
However, one needs to remember that a business should not be allowed to consume all your time. What is success if it comes at the cost of your personal time? With a little bit of effort, you will be able to make the time for both work as well as play. Separate your time for your work from your own personal time and don't let one intrude on the other.
