10 . On February 13, 2023, Wu Yibing made history, beating John Isner in a thrilling three-set final at the Dallas Open to become the first man from China to win an ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals) title.

Brought to a tennis court for the first time at just five, initially encouraged by his parents as an exercise to lose weight, Wu soon had his talent discovered by his provincial junior team, kicking off a journey that would change the face of men’s tennis in China. In 2017, Wu Yibing shot to prominence after winning the US Open boys’ tournament at 18 to become the first Chinese to win a major junior title, raising high hopes for the “Wonder Boy” to change the fortune of Chinese men in a sport long dominated by women’s success on the pro stage.

In 2018, Wu won his first ATP Challenger title in Shanghai. However, the brutally competitive nature of men’s pro tennis hit the rising Wu with a tough reminder after multiple injuries—to his elbow, lower back, shoulder and wrist — forced him to be away from the ATP Tour for close to three years.

He made his return last year and won three ATP Challenger titles before qualifying for the US Open. “Looking back, I feel like I wouldn’t have been here if not for the ups and downs over the past few years. I take all the setbacks and struggles as an asset that helps me mature mentally now.” said Wu. “Of course there were a lot of doubts because I had surgery and the recovery wasn’t going well The championship today was a payoff for all the hard work and everyone who’s supported me along the way.”

1. What do the underlined words “shot to prominence” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Lost weight.

B．Discovered talent.

C．Became famous.

D．Felt uncertain.

2. Why was Wu absent from the ATP Tour for nearly three years?

A．Because he feared possible failures.	B．Because he refused fierce competitions.
C．Because he wanted to change his carcer.	D．Because he suffered from serious physical injuries.

3. What can we learn from Wu Yibing’s statement?

A．No cross, no crown.	B．Well begun is half done.
C．Easy come, easy go.	D．Time waits for no man.

4. Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A．The Development of Chinese Tennis.	B．The Power of Difficulties for Athletes.
C．The Pioneer of Chinese Tennis Sport.	D．The First Chinese Male Winner of ATP Title.
