She was the person who turned him from a footballer into a global attractor. Even now that he has left Manchester United for Royal Madrid, instead of Barcelona or Milan, it might be because of her. "Posh Spice" has become a name for Victoria. The Collins Dictionary even has the term "Posh and Beckham" (Victoria and Beckham). Before meeting Victoria Adams, Beckham was a good-looking and likeable footballer with a bright future at Manchester United, but that was about all. Since he married her in 1999, he has become the most famous player British sports have ever produced, and, some say, the most influential man in the country. "When they got together, she was clearly the more popular of the two." said Andrew Parker, a sports expert at Warwick University in Britain. "She certainly introduced him to a new circle of people and, all of a sudden, he was a top list celebrity." Its believed that, behind the high walls and iron gates of their "Beckingham Palace", it is Victoria who decides everything. When their baby boy, Brooklyn, fell in 2000, Beckham left a United training session to look after him, and this led to his being dropped from the team. Many were sure it was Victoria who has asked her husband to stay at home. During a trip to the United States this year, Victoria has worked hard to push her husband to the US public. They would not have recognized him if they met him in a car park. She may appear to have taken a back seat, but Victoria is still at the forefront of the "Posh and Back" project.From the passage, we can conclude that at home_.ABeckham listens to his wifeBVictoria listens to her husbandCBeckham and Victoria discuss and do everything togetherDBeckham has no mind of his own 6.

It is a small, wild bird, and it lives only on the island of Little Mangere, off the coast of New Zealand. In 1967 there were about fifty black robins there; in 1977 there were fewer than ten. These are the only black robins left in the world. The island has many other birds, of course, of different kinds, large and small; these seem to multiply very happily. Steps are being taken to preserve the black robin. Detailed studies are going on, and a public appeal for money has been made. The idea is to buy another island nearby as a special home for threatened wild life, including black robins. The organizers say that Little Mangere should then tie supplied with the robins food it eats only one kind of seed. Thousands of the required plants are at present being cultivated in New Zealand. The public appeal is aimed at the conscience of mankind, so that the wild black robin will not die out and disappear from the earth in our lime at least. Is all this concern a waste of human effort Is it any business of ours whether the black robin survives or dies out Are we losing our sense of what is reasonable and what is unreasonable In the earth s long, long past hundreds of kinds of creatures have evolved, risen to a degree of successand died out. In the long, long future there will be many new and different forms of life. Those creatures that adapt themselves successfully to what the earth offers will survive for a long time. Those that fail to meet the challenges will disappear early. This is Natures proven method of operation. The rule of selectionthe survival of the fittestis the one by which human beings have themselves arrived on the scene. He, being one of the most adaptable creatures the earth has yet produced, may last longer than most. You may take it as another rule that when, at last, man shows signs of dying out , no other creature will extend a paw to postpone our departure. For Nature, though fair, is a hard-hearted mistress. She has no favorites. Life seems to have grown too tough for black robins. I leave you to judge whether we should try to do something about it.The black robins are getting fewer and fewer because _.Athere are too many other kinds of birds on the islandBof lack of foodCthey cant multiplyDthere is no room for them on the island 9.
