A.READING

Read the passage about Beckham, a famous English footballer and circle the letter A, B or C to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

David Robert Joseph Beckham was born in Leytonstone, London on May 2nd, 1975. Keen on football from very early on, David won the Bobby Charlton Soccer Skills Award when he was 11. Five years later, at the age of 16, he signed on as a trainee at Manchester United Football Club. The following year, he made his first appearance as a substitute but it was another three years before he started playing full-time in the Premier League.

He established himself as a quality player in the 1995/96 season and, in his midfield right position, the number 7 helped his team to win the FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea.

In 1996 he started playing for the England senior team and the year ended with him being voted Young Player of the Year.

Beckham (nicknamed Becks) was going from strength to strength and it was no surprise that he was picked to play in the 1998 World Cup in France. By now he had become more than just a footballer, with as many girl fans as boy fans. He also had an attractive pop-star girlfriend, Victoria Adams, who was known to fans of the Spice Girls as Posh Spice.

In 1999, his son Brooklyn was born and he married Victoria. In the same year, he was voted the second best player in the world after Rivaldo, the outstanding Barcelona and Brazil player.

In 2001, he was made captain of the England team, a responsibility which brought out the best in him. During the matches, he led by example and showed that he could play with all his heart.
