These are the Paralympics, the games for athletes with a disability. But in Beijing in 2008, for the first time, one of the greatest paralympians will not be taking part. She is a British athlete by the name of Tanni Grey-Thompson. Born with spina bifida(脊柱裂) which left her paralysed from the waist down. Tanni used a wheelchair from the age of 7. At first, she was not keen on her sport, apart from house-riding, which gave her a sense of freedom. But in her teens, she started taking sports more seriously. She tried swimming, basketball and tennis. Eventually she found athletics, and never looked back. Indeed, Tannis athletic career took off. In 1984, when she was 15, she pulled off a surprise victory in the 100 metres at the Junior National Wheelchair Games. In 1998, Tanni went to her first Paralympic Games in Seoul. She won bronze in the 400 metres. Even greater success followed at the 1992 Barcelona Paralympics. Tanni won gold in the 100, 200, 400 and 800 metres relay, setting two world records in the process. In the same year she achieved the first of her six London Wheelchair Marathon victories. Tannis enduring success has been part motivation(动机), part preparation. “The training I do that enables me to be a good sprinter(短跑运动员) and enables me to be good at a marathon too. I train 50 weeks of the year and that keeps me prepared for whatever distance I want to raceI am still competing at a very high level, but as I get older things get harder and I want to retire before I fall apart.”Indeed Tanni retired finally after the Visa Paralympic World Cup in 2007. Her wish is to coach young athletes for Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.In spite of ups and downs, she never takes her face lying down. In her splendid life, she has won an amazing eleven gold medals, four silver and one bronze in a series of Paralympicsa top level athletic career covering two decades. She has won the London Wheelchair Marathon six times, more than any other competitor, and she has set over thirty world records.What advice does she have for young athletes? “Work hard at your studies, and then train, train and train again.”61.Which of the following sports did Tanni like before thirteen? A.Basketball. B.Swimming. C.Tennis. D.Horse-riding.62.When did Tanni win her first Olympic gold medals? A.In 1984. B.In 1988. C.In 1992. D.In 2007.63.The underlined word “that” in the 5th paragraph refers to _. A.fifty weeks training B.being a good sprinter C.training almost every day D.part motivation and part preparation64.Whats the right order of the events related to Tanni? a.She works as a coach. b.She took up athletics. c.She won four gold medals in Barcelona. d.She competed in her first Paralympic Games. e.She achieved a victory in her first London Wheelchair Marathon. A.b,d,c,e,a B.a,d,b,c,e C.a,d,c,e,b D.b,d,a,e,c65.What can we learn from Tannis success? A.Union is strength. B.Never too late to learn. C.Well begun is half done. D.No pains, no gains. B It is said that in the United States much has been told about that anyone can become rich and successful if he works hard and has some good luck. Yes, when one becomes rich he wants people to know it. And even though he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. Thats what “Keeping up with the Joneses” is about. The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. Momand looked around him and noticed that many people did things to keep up with their neighbours: they tried to look as rich and successful as their neighbours. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a number of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses”, because Jones is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with the people around you. Momands series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years. People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. That is one reason why they read “right” books, go to “right” universities and eat in “right” restaurants. Every city has an area where people want to live because others will think better of them if they do. And there are Joneses in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses, because no matter what one does, Mr Jones always seems to be ahead.66.Why, according to the passage, do many people try to keep up with the Joneses? A.Because they feel proud to be taken for the Joneses. B.Because they want others to know or think they are rich. C.Because they are afraid that others will know they are rich. D.Because they want to be as rich as their neighbours.67.On the whole, the passage is about _. A.Americans thought of being well-known for richness B.the relationship among American people C.Americans competing with each other D.more chances of becoming rich in the US68.What does the author mean when he says “right” books? A.Books that teach people how to get rich and successful. B.Books by famous and successful writers. C.Very expensive books. D.Books that other people around are reading.69.What does the a
