A rookie ball player caught the media’s attention Tuesday when the China Volleyball Association released the new training roster for the men’s national team. Ding Hui is the first black player in Chinese history to be chosen for the national squad.
Ding’s father is from South Africa , but he was brought up by his mother in Hangzhou, the capital of east China’s Zhejiang province. He showed early promise as an athlete and was accepted into a special sports school.
In 2003, he became a member of the provincial volleyball team and next year progressed to the national junior squad. His selection for the senior squad is the logical progression for the talented youngster who plays in the libero position.(自由人的位置)
Ding first grabbed public attention at the World Youth Championships in Mexico in 2007 when the Chinese team took a surprising second place.
The 1.85-meter player deeply impressed Zhou Jian’an, head coach of the national team. “ I’ve been watching him play for some time. He is in good physical condition and has great potential, but he is 18 and a little young to play at the Beijing Olympics,” Zhou said in 2007.
A year later, Zhou recruited Ding for the new national squad that will train for the London Olympics. The coach acknowledged that Ding had brought media attention but denied this was the reason for his selection. “We pick players for their ability and to meet the needs of team as a whole,” said Zhou . “ He’s no different from the other players. They are all Chinese.”
Ding echoed the coach, saying that he didn’t want to be treated differently from the other players. But he has suddenly found himself thrust into the spotlight and has to field constant phone calls from the press.
“They all want to interview me, maybe just because I have overseas origins,” said Ding . “ But I want to build my reputation through my performances on the court.”
36. We know from the passage that Ding Hui is a(n) _________.
A. Sino-African half-breed
B. Eurasian half-breed
C. Euramerican half-breed
D. Sino-American half-breed
37. Why does Ding Hui draw the media’s attention?
A. Ding is the first black player in the national squad.
B. Ding is the first foreign player in the national squad.
C. Ding is brought up in HangZhou.
D. Ding’s father is an African.
38. How old was Ding Hui when he served in the national junior squad?
A. 10 years old
B. 14 years old
C. 15 years old
D. 18 years old
39. When was Zhou Jian’an , head coach of the national team, attract ed by Ding Hui ?
A. It was at the World Youth Championships in Mexico in 2007.
B. It was when Ding was 14 years old playing in the provincial volleyball team.
C. It was when Ding Hui joined the national squad.
D. It was when Ding Hui’s father returned from South Africa.
40. According to the last paragraph we can infer that________.
A. Ding Hui is very shy and not willing to be interviewed.
B. Ding Hui doesn’t like being treated specially but depending on himself
C. Ding Hui wants to rely upon his advantages over others.

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150字左右的英语短文
Doctors say playing music to patients while they have an operation can reduce their anxiety. An unemployed graduate is troubled by eczema{湿疹}.A divorced woman develops high blood pressure. Are these situations connected or mere coincidences{巧合}?
Of all the influences on our health and well-being , stress is the most common one. And because the misery of stress is often experienced as much in the body as the mind---tiredness, headaches, tense muscles and the like –common sense tells us that psychological stress leaves us likely to suffer from physical illness.
While most people outside medicine happily accept this view, it has been viewed
with a much greater degree of suspicion within the field. But a recent finding from a team led by Sheldon Cohen in Pittsburgh could finally have revealed a link, offering perhaps the best level. The work represents an important step in understanding the mechanism{原理} of stress. Further studies showed that the longer stressful events lasted ,the greater chance people will have to suffer from physical illness. Therefore, it is necessary for people to pay more attention to the effects of stress. 【写作内容】
