综合类考试C级：阅读判断Lower body
These days， fashion models and pop stars are not the only people who have to watch their waistline. Football players who miss a few kicks and let their belly hanging out a little too much are likely to be attacked by rabid fans or even the president of a country.
The latest football star to draw the attention of the “fat police” is Barcelona’s Ronaldinho， 26. Last Friday， a Spanish sports daily published two photos of the Brazilian star without his shirt. One was taken in November 2003； the other was taken this month. In the most recent one， the star’s waistline seems to have a little extra padding.
Another Spanish sports daily published similar before-and-after photos and argued that the star has “lost his explosiveness and velocity” and is “worn out”。 The cause， according to the news paper， is his poor physical fitness.
However， the player’s coach， frank Rijkaard， insists that he’s satisfied with Ronaldinho’s form and fitness. And after Barcelona’s victory over Atheltic Bibao on Sunday， Ronaldinho challenged photographers to take pictures of him when he took off his shirt.
“I don’t have anything to hide，”he said.
Fellow Brazilian Ronaldo， 30， of Real Madrid， faced similar criticism before the 2006 World Cup. But the criticism didn’t come from a bunch of sports reporters： it came from the president of Brazil.
“So， what is it？”Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula Silva asked the national soccer team’s coach in his office last June， according to the Assiciated Press. “Is he (Ronaldo)fat or not？”
“He is very strong， president，” Carlos Alberto Parreira reportedly said at the time. “He is not that boy anymore. His body type has changed.”
The game of football demands that players put as much emphasis on fitness as they can do on dribbling， passing or shooting.
During a proper training regimen， football players normally follow a load-fatigue-recovery pattern. They push their body toward a higher mark of fitness and experience a slight and brief drop in performance. Then they begin the recovery process， which will ideally carry their performance to an even higher plane.
However， sometimes non-physical factors can influence a player’s poor fitness. in Ronaldinho’s case， for instance， people – often unnamed – have blamed everything from the pressure of contract negotiations to personal problems and too many advertising commitment. (381 words)
