    Read the following passage and answer the following questions:

    Andrew Fang is a legend in bowling. He was elected Sportsman of the Year in 2000. Andrew is
    only 23 years old. He started bowling when he was nine, learning the sport from his parents.
    “When I was just starting out, my family supported me by paying for my training and equipment,”
    says the Arts student whose major is economics. Competition or not, Andrew has no problem
    keeping fit. “I like to ride a bike. Rain or shine, you’ll find me on my mountain bike pedaling for at
    least two hours in Bukit Timah, four times a week. It takes my mind off problems and
    difficulties,” says Andrew. Rest and recreation are just as important as exercise.

    “I love to sleep,” says Andrew. “When I prepare for tournaments, I usually sleep eight to nine
    hours a day.” He also likes to play pool, read a good novel or watch a show with his friends.
    When it comes to food, Andrew says he takes everything in moderation and stays away from
    fried and greasy foods. He takes in more protein than the average person and tries to drink as
    much water as he can to prevent dehydration since he bikes a lot. Due to his discipline,
    Andrew’s working relationship with his trainer has been very fluid. Andrew’s priority, however, is
    education. “Getting my title is my biggest wish right now. After that, I can fully concentrate on
    professional bowling,” says Andrew firmly.
