Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
The Greatest of the Century
As the new century began, several groups came up with the idea of selecting the greatest sports person
of the 20th century. These groups included British Broadcasting Company (BBC), Sports Illustrated (SI), and
the World Sports Award Organization. Interestingly, all three named the same person as the Sportsman of the
Century!
One man who was among the athletes appearing at the top of these three groups’ lists was golf legend
Jack Nicklaus. Certainly, no one would doubt that he was the greatest golfer of the century. His sixth Masters
win in 1986 at the age of forty-six amazed golf fans all around the world. Nicklaus is also known for his
charity work to help children in need.
The second sports legend appearing on all three lists, but not winning the top honor, was Pelé. This
soccer star led Brazil’s World Cup team to victory in 1958 when he was only seventeen years old. He is the
only soccer player in the world to receive three World Cup winning medals. Over his career, Pelé personally
scored more than 1,000 goals. In addition to his soccer fame, Pelé is also known for working to try and
improve life for poor people in Brazil and around the world.
Likewise, the athlete named the Sportsman of the Century by the BBC, SI, and the World Sports
Award is known for more than just his sports skills. This man spoke out against the abuse of civil liberties
even to the point of having his awards in his sport taken away. Then, later in life when faced with Parkinson’s
disease, he boldly continued to work for his beliefs. Almost forty years before receiving the award as the
Greatest, this athlete called himself the greatest. And he proved it. The Sportsman of the 20th Century without
a doubt is the boxer Muhammad Ali.
Question 25: What does the reading mainly discuss?
A. A problem with an award B. Important sports organizations
C. The career of the greatest sportsman D. The winner of a prize
Question 26: How did Nicklaus amaze golf fans?
A. By giving money to charity B. By playing a very long game
C. By taking his name off of the list D. By winning when he was older
