What impression is given of Gareth Bale in this report?


Story:
----------
Gareth Bale today hit back at accusations that he dives by claiming he is just trying to protect himself from serious injury.
----------

The Tottenham winger has been criticised this

season for “going to ground” too easily and

Stevenage manager Gary Smith was unhappy that

Bale was granted a penalty when challenged by

Mark Roberts last night.

‘I tend not to dive’, insists Bale

Doubts were also expressed about the

spot-kick awarded to Bale during the north London

derby last month, yet the Welshman insists he has

no option but to take evasive action from aggressive,

dirty tackles: “I try not to get in the way of tackles and if people want to say I’m diving then

they can but I’m trying to get out of the way and save myself, save my career if you like”,

he said. “You’ve got people flying in at you.



“If you stand there, you’re going to get a whack. Sometimes it looks like you’re diving but if

someone’s coming across you, you try to get out of the way. You can see why people say

you’re diving but I’d rather dive – meaning get out of the way - than get hurt. I tend not to

dive”.

Harry Redknapp has blasted claims that Gareth Bale is a diver – saying:

He just gets kicked all the time!

Spurs manager Harry Redknapp defended his player recently saying, “I don’t think he

dives”, but also suggested that Bale would need to accept that rough treatment will

increase as his reputation grows. Redknapp used the examples of Lionel Messi and

Cristiano Renaldo, probably the two most tightly-marked players in the game, to show Bale

what he can expect as his career develops.

He believes Bale should regard it as a compliment if teams seek to stop him by illegal

means and the 22-year old admitted he takes a degree of confidence from the way he is marking.​

Read the passage.
Jamal stood at the edge of the track. He pulled his hat brim lower to shade his eyes from the glare of the sun. He watched the crowd. Some
of the parents gazed silently over at the runners who were getting ready to compete. Other parents sat laughing and talking in the bright afternoon
sun. The sun felt good on Jamal's arms. His tee shirt rippled in the warm breeze.
Jamal leaned down to tie his shoes before the big race. As his fingers tugged on the laces, suddenly he could see himself back in Annapolis
in second grade, trying to tie a very small pair of laces. On that morning six years ago, Uncle Bill had showed up at Jamal's school to watch Jamal run
in the May Relay. Jamal had raised his hand in class when the teacher asked, "Who wants to run in the relay race this year?"
For Jamal, that was the most exciting experience in second grade. In bed, on many nights before the May Relay, he had thought about it. He
had tried to imagine how it would feel to run as fast as he could, as fast as the wind, pumping his muscles and propelling his body around the circle
of the track.
Then the day had arrived, the day of the big event. Uncle Bill had whispered in his ear, "Running feels good, Jamal. Lift your knees, focus
your mind, race along that path." Jamal had felt a surge of love for his uncle. "You're the best, Uncle Bill!"
Today, Uncle Bill was far from Jamal's school. No family had come to see Jamal compete on the track today, but the sun warmed his
shoulders and he smiled. "Running feels good, Jamal," he thought to himself. "Lift your knees, focus your mind, race along that path."
How is plot developed in this passage?
O 1. through personal conflict between Jamal and Uncle Bill
2. through comparison of Jamal's and Uncle Bill's outlooks on life
O 3. through resolution of Jamal's ill feelings based on memories of Uncle Bill
4. through flashback to a time when Jamal was inspired by Uncle Bill's coaching

Fourteen years ago, Juanita Ferguson, 55, had a
kidney transplant. So she watched what she ate and
always included fruits and vegetables in her diet.
But it was the finer points that Ferguson, a supervisor
in the respiratory care department at Baptist, was
missing. She bought honey wheat bread, not realizing
that at her age she needed much more fiber. She was
unaware of her card intake. And she had no idea that
on weekends, when she was completing chores and
running errands, forgetting to eat was causing
problems

Read this excerpt from The Outsiders.

Then there were shouts and the pounding of feet, and the Socs jumped up and left me lying there, gasping. I lay there and wondered what in the world was happening—people were jumping over me and running by me and I was too dazed to figure it out. Then someone had me under the armpits and was hauling me to my feet. It was Darry.

"Are you all right, Ponyboy?”

He was shaking me and I wished he’d stop. I was dizzy enough anyway. I could tell it was Darry though—partly because of the voice and partly because Darry’s always rough with me without meaning to be.
