Read the following passage about Maria Mutola and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions or to complete the sentences from 29 to 35.

Maria Mutola  (born in 1972) is a retired female athlete from Mozambique who specialized in the 800 metres. Now, after about 20 years of competition, she has become the only athlete ever to hold Olympic, World, World indoor, Commonwealth, Continental Games and Continental Championships titles in the same event.

In 1988, Maria was playing football as the only girl in an all-boy team in a local competition in Mozambique. “ We won,” she said. “ at first no one thought it was a problem that I was a girl. But then the team we beat complained.” The story appeared in a local newspaper and the poet Jose’ Craveirinha –a sports fan- who had encouraged other African athletes, learnt about Maria. He went to meet her and found her kicking a ball around outside the football club. He realized immediately that she was fast. “ He talked to me about athletics. I had no idea what he meant. The only sport I knew about was football. Then he bought me running shoes and took me training. It was such hard work and my legs really ached.” Then Jose’ visited her parents and persuaded them she could be successful and this could help end their poverty. They agreed to let him take her away to train. Jose’s son, a former national long jump record holder, was Maria's first coach. Not used to the intensive training, Maria initially decided that running was not for her, but was persuaded to continue when it became obvious that she had great potential. In 1991, she finally accepted an invitation to train in the United States. She had refused previously because she knew she would miss her family. Her background was unlike those of the girls she met in the US. She explained, “ They were good athletes but, while I worried about my parents having enough to eat, they worried about dresses and make-up. They knew very little about me and even less about my problems. But I knew I was lucky to be there. The trainers were brilliant and I learnt a lot.”

29. What is the writer trying to do in the text?

A. persuade more African to take up athletics

B. describe how an African girl became a top athlete

C. give information about Mozambique – an African country with many successful runners

D. explain how Maria helped her family end their poverty

30. Jose’ found out about Maria when ………

A. he went to watch a local football match

B. she was blamed for her team losing a football competition

C. he saw an article about her

D. people complained about another member of her football team

31. Which information is TRUE about Jose’?

A. he was not an athlete himself B. he worked for a local newspaper

C. he learnt together with Maria in a local school D. he was Maria’s first coach

32. When Jose’ first introduced Maria to athletics, she ………….

A. didn’t know what it was B. was worried about being injured

C. was keen to learn everything he knew D. didn’t think her parents would approve

33. What does Maria say about the girls she met in the United States?

A. They didn’t make full use of their abilities B. their training programs were less demanding than hers

C. They didn’t respect her D. their experiences of life were very different from hers

34. Which of the following is closest to the meaning of the word “ POTENTIAL ” ?

A. difficulty in competing B. desire for victory C. ability to achieve success D. financial support

35 . What would Maria most likely say about her life?

A. Jose’ has made all my dreams possible. From the first day we met, I was certain I wanted to become a top athlete.

B. My life hasn’t always been easy but I’ve had many opportunities. Running is important to me and so is my family.

C. I regret being involved in athletics. It was horrible leaving Mozambique and my family. I’d like to go back to football.
