Passage 1
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian
Territory(
鍗扮瀹変汉淇濇姢鍖?/p>
)that is now Oklahoma. Like most Native American
children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. (76) He was
healthy and strong, but he had very little formal education. In 1950, Jim Thorpe was
named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal
winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.
Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was
16, his mother and father were also dead, Jim then went to a special school in
Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and
also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earn some
money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. (77)The team paid him only
$15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his education. Jim was a star
athlete (

) in several sports, including baseball, running, and football. He won
many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all
or most of the points for his team.
In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U.S Olympic
team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon.
Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and filed events,
including the long jump and the 1500-meter race. The decathlon has ten track and
field events, with running, jumping and throwing contests.
People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon
and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both
events. When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said,
鈥淪ir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.鈥?nbsp;Thorpe was a simple and honest man.
He just answered, 鈥淭hanks, King.鈥?/p>
