Steve Sloan is the physical education teacher at Public School 102 in East Harlem, New York. He’s a 50-year old man with a bald head and bulging muscles. He can hit three-pointers and even half court shots, but the amazing thing is that he can’t see them go in.
Steve Sloan has been blind since birth. But the fact he can’t see has never stopped Sloan, who works out seven days a week.
Sloan has been working at P.S. 102 for 21 years. He is making his first trip abroad this month to Torino, Italy, to carry the Olympic torch. “This is an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I will cherish forever,” he says.
The Olympic torch（火炬） took off on its 7,021.5-mile trip through 140 Italian cities on December 8. It will reach the site of the 2006 Winter Olympics during the opening ceremonies on February 10. More than 10,000 people who represent Olympic values will take part in the torch run.
Sloan in many way matches the profile of an Olympic athlete, who displays the values of unity and peace among peoples, loyalty, courage, humanity, and solidarity. His values are reflected in his close relationships with his students.
Sloan has nicknames（绰号） for every kid. Some of them include Hot Sauce, Beetles, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Biscuit, and WNBA. He is strict if you aren’t wearing sneakers（运动鞋） and sweat pants or shorts, you aren’t allowed to participate in gym-but to the students it just shows how much he cares about them.
“He makes coming to gym so much fun,” said Christina (Hot Sauce) Perez.
One amazing fact about Sloan is that he can guide you around the school without his walking stick. He knows every hallway, door, and floor in the five-story school by heart. He takes the subway train to work every day. If there is an emergency in the school, Lorenzo Cowell, Sloan’s assistant, makes sure that everyone is safe. Otherwise, Sloan is totally self-sufficient. When you sit in his office and look at his stocky build inside a gray and black warm up suit, it’s easy to forget that he can’t see.
“I can get you anywhere you want to go,” Steve Sloan says with a warm smile. “Just don’t ask me to read the signs along the way.”
40. It can be inferred that Steve Sloan is good at ________.
A. football B. basketball C. tennis D. volleyball
41. Steve Sloan is qualified to take part in the torch run because_______.
A. he is disabled B. he is of strong character
C. he looks like an Olympic athlete D. he is an P.E. teacher
42. From the text we know the next Winter Olympic will be held in______
A. 2009 B. 2010 C. 2007 D. 2008
43. Which of the following is not true?
A. The site of the 2006 Winter Olympic is Italy.
B. Steve Sloan’s class is interesting and funny.
C. Steve Sloan has never been to Italy before.
D. Steve Sloan is totally self-sufficient.

COCHESTER HILLS, Michigan (AP) —A little more than 10 years ago , Tricia Mack was a student at Rochester Adams High School who dreamed of becoming an astronaut .
Today, Ms. Mack is a 27 year-old aerospace engineer for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (国家宇航局) and is traveling to Russian to work on an international space station. It was a quick journey from Rochester Hills to NASA but instead of being an astronaut, Ms. Mack is training them. She knew she wanted to be involved with outer space, even as far back as her days at West Middle School. And although Ms. Mack knew where she wanted to go, she also knew what it would take. She offers simple advice for kids who might see themselves as future NASA employees: Study your math and science.
