MICHAEL JORDAN
Basketball has lost one of its stars! Michael Jordan is considered
one of the greatest basketball players of all time and he has decided to
retire. He has already won everything including two Olympic gold
medals, one in Los Angeles and one in Barcelona. For seven years he
was the highest-scoring shooter in the NBA, the biggest American
championship. Through basketball and sponsorship he's become very
rich.
1. But what's the secret of the most famous player in America?

M.J.: Nobody is born unbeatable. You become unbeatable; year after year
I had to learn to play in very difficult situations and to get the ball in the basket
from a distance. It wasn't easy but now, no-one can stop me.
M.J.: In the last few years there have been a lot of special moments. One of
them was during the final match against Phoenix. Four seconds from the end
I found myself with the ball in my hands. Everything depended on me. I threw.
The ball went towards the basket and went in. Those are moments which you
never forget.
M.J.: Well, there is no special formula. Whatever it was, during training or in a
match I always did my best, I adored basketball and I never got tired of it or
learning something new and getting better.
M.J.: Of course. Everybody has. I wish.
M.J.: To spend a lot of time with my family. I'll be able to do all those things I
never had time to do when I was playing.

BOOKS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Line 1

Line 5

I've never been able to make my mind a blank - I try to sit still but thoughts about work
and home, deadlines and dinner plans, tumble back in. I've found that reading allows
me to turn off what's happening in my life. When I pick up a book, I replace all those
crowded thoughts with a whole new world, a different set of parameters. I sink into an
unknown place and give myself over to the author's vision. When I finish a really good
book, my mind is rested. I've given it a break and taken it away from the nitty-gritty
details of everyday life.

I'm very impatient with a book that doesn't deliver on its promise of introducing me to
a new world. Fortunately, I've been exposed to a number of amazing stories through
Line 10 my work. We interview many authors on the News Hour program, and I have been
lucky enough to talk to a few people behind the selection on my list.
In some of the works I've chosen, I found an author who articulated a point that I couldn't
have given words to myself. I find myself thinking! Yes, that's it exactly. Other authors
made me think about a certain set of facts or a historical figure in a new light. These
Line 15 writers are always willing to ask more questions, hear another point of view, seek out a
contrary opinion. Maybe I'm drawn to their work because that's what good journalists do.
Looking back over my list, I realize there's one other thing that books have done:
they've shown me how much I have yet to learn.

FAST AND FURIOUS FIVE-A-SIDE

With the arrival of the holidays, kids have more time to devote to their favourite sports
and one of these is the small scale version of football known as five-a-side; played as
its name implies, with five-man teams on a smaller pitch. Let's have a look at some of
the rules and the main differences between it and the eleven-man game.
Line 5

In many ways, five-a-side is very similar to normal football. In winter, games tend to
be played indoors, in a gym usually, while in the warmer seasons they can be played
in the open air.
How is it different from regular football?


Line 10






Line 15

There are four players, plus a goalkeeper.

The pitch and the goals are smaller in size
Physical contact between players is not permitted.
Players can be substituted frequently so that all the players can get a chance to
play in the match
The goalkeeper almost never saves a dive, but tries to cover the space formed
by the goal posts as best he can.

A good five-a-side football player has to adapt to the needs of the team, and should
never leave his team numerically inferior to the opponents. It's more important to have
strength than technique, and playing with generosity is more useful than playing with
skill. You also have to be able to play all over the field, both in attack and in defense.
Line 20

(3.1)

Anyone considering playing a game of five-a-side should be properly prepared. And

one last piece of advice to finish with: remember, going into a match without proper
training means you're more likely to get injured.

7 points

Read the text and circle T (if the sentence is True) or F (if the sentence
is False).

1.

Kids play football more during the school season.

2.

Five-a-side is a version of basketball.

3.

Six players play the five-a-side version of football.

4.

The field / pitch is smaller in size than the field / pitch for
the eleven-man game.

5.

The game can be played only outdoors.

6.

The players have to be able to play all over the field.

7.

Its more important to have technique than strength.
