Obama has made history by being the first African-American in American history.
Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961. His parents didn’t live together when he was two years old and later divorced. Obama grew up with his mother in Hawaii, and for a few years in Indonesia. Later, he moved to New York, where he graduated from Columbia University in 1983. Obama met his wife, Robinson, in June, 1989 and married her on October 3rd, 1992. The couple’s first daughter was born in 1998, followed by a second daughter in 2001.
Obama took office in January 20, 2009. However, just when he became the president, he had to face many serious challenges ---- two foreign wars, the climate change and what he had described as “the worst financial crisis (经济危机) in a century”. But Obama said that he himself had been ready to face these challenges.
Obama’s success is a true milestone. It speaks to the fact that in America you really do get a chance to do anything, if you have the talent and abilities and you work hard enough.

解析:【小题1】根据Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961.和Obama took office in January 20, 2009. However, just when he became the president可知,奥巴马当总统时是48岁。
【小题2】通过Obama has made history by being the first African-American in American history.可知,奥巴马是美国历史上首位非洲裔的总统,也是第一位黑人总统。所以C是正确的。
【小题3】 通过if you have the talent and abilities and you work hard enough.可知,本题的答案是D。
【小题4】根据句意和just when he became the president一句可知,此处的take office应该是“就职”的意思。
【小题5】根据第三自然段中的two foreign wars, the climate change and what he had described as “the worst financial crisis 一句可知,C选项中的人口问题是不对的,所以本题选C。
