問題詳情:
Sports are all about change. A team gets better. A kid practices more and swims a personal best or learns a new move on the basketball court. In 2006, two things happened that got me thinking about change—in sports and in life.
One of them is tennis champion Andre Agassi, who retired in 2006. Agassi was a terrific player who won 60 titles, including eight major championships(冠*稱號). But his greatest accomplishment(成就)might have been how much he changed during his career.
When he was young, Agassi was a show off who seemed to care only about himself. He didn't train very hard, but he won matches because of his tremendous(極大的) talent.
Eventually, though, injuries and his bad attitude caught up with him. He fell from No.1 in the world ranking to No.141.
So Agassi changed. He trained harder and became a world-class player again. More importantly, he changed as a person. He was nicer to fans and opponents(對手). He stopped thinking just about himself and started thinking about others. Through his Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation, he raised more than $60 million to help disadvantaged kids around his hometown of Las Vegas, Nevada. He even started a school, the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy, for at-risk kids.
At the start of a new year, lots of people promise themselves they will change. They might vow to get in good physical shape, do better in school or be nicer to others.
Changes such as those can be difficult. But they do happen. Just remember Andre Agassi: It wasn't easy, but he changed, and changed for the better.

A. He once ranked No.1 in the world rankings. B. He won 60 titles.
C. He changed much during his career. D. He won 8 major championships.
37. What does the underlined work “vow” in the 6th paragraph probably mean?
A. promise. B. agree. C. wish. D. prove.
38. What do you know about Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation?
A. It is intended to help at-risk kids. B. It is a charity school set up by Agassi.
C. Some disadvantaged kids can get help from it.
D. Agassi runs it with his prize money.
39. What might be talked about in the paragraphs following this passage?
A. What achievements Agassi has made after he changed for the better.
B. How we can change for the better.
C. Another thing happened in life that got the writer thinking about change.
D. Some assessments(評價) about Agassi from different people.
