If 2005 was the year that Ding Junhui exploded onto the international snooker scene, then 2006 could be the year he became a legend.

He won the famous Northern Ireland Trophy after beating former world No. 1 Ronnie O’Sullivan 9-6 in August 2006 and shot up to fifth place in the World Snooker Provisional Rankings. With the first title of the new snooker season at the Waterfront Hall in Belfast, Ding became only the second player in snooker history to win three ranking titles before his 20th birthday, following the 2005 China Open and UK Championship. Ding was born on April 1, 1987 in Yixing, Jiangsu Province. His talent was discovered by his father when he was just eight years old. Systematic training started when he turned 11. In order to find better training facilities for Ding, his father gave up his small business and took his son to Dongguan, Guangdong Province. Father and son shared an eight-square-meter room created by partitioning the local snooker club.

Finally, Ding’s mother sold their house in their hometown and arrived at their narrow “room”. Parental love was all that supported Ding. He practiced very hard. Even as a professional player living in England, he practiced eight hours a day from 10 am to 6 pm, without a day off.

Their efforts began to pay off when 13-year-old Ding started to win prizes in an Asian invitational tournament. He turned professional at the age of sixteen.

Ding has confirmed his reputation as snooker’s most exciting young talent and perhaps the one with the potential to dominate world snooker in years to come.

However, the comments Ding and his father made on the miracle Ding performed were controversial. According to the media, when Ding questioned the importance of schooling, his father described what he did for Ding as nothing but a bet on life!

1. The whole passage is centered upon_________.

A. hard work contributing to success                            B. a successful sport—snooker

C. Ding Junhui’s way to success                                  D. the father-son relationship

2. The underlined word “dominate” in the second paragraph can be replaced by “_________”.

A. take the lead in            B. take part in             C. take advantage of   D. take hold of

3. In which year Ding Junhui was not an amateur for snooker any more?

A. 1998                         B. 2000                       C. 2003                      D. 2005

4. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. The year of 2005 is the turning point for Ding Junhui.

B. His talent for snooker was first discovered by his coach when trained.

C. He is sure to be the one with the potential to dominate world snooker in the coming years

D. His success is mainly owing to his parents’ love and support as well as his hard practice.

5. The author’s real attitude towards the comments made by the father in the last paragraph is that of being _________.

  A. optimistic                   B. subjective                C. positive                 D. oppositive
