Medalists of the 1948 London Olympic Games look back on their summer of victory.
SAMMY Lee, 91, U.S.
GOLD AND BRONZE, DIVING
I first had my Olympic dream at 12, when they held the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles. My father and I were at a grocery store, and I asked, "What are all the flags doing here?" He said, "We are having the Olympic Games. That's where they honor the greatest athletes in the world." I said, "Papa, someday I'm going to be an Olympic champ."
Walking up the 10-meter platform, I thought to myself, "I've waited 16 years for this moment. Am I going to win?" So I prayed to God that I was most deserving of winning the Games.
DAVID BOND, 90, BRITAIN
GOLD, SAILING
During the war, I spent six years in Royal Air Force. I think in general, the 1948 Olympics meant very little to most people. We were too busy after the war to be worried about sport very much anyway.
Our team had about six weeks before the Olympics down at Torquay and we went out sailing every day.
Winning gold was quite something. It was nice to stand on the platform with lots of people cheering. We celebrated by going to a big dance.
MICHAEL LAPAGE, 88, BRITAIN
SILVER, ROWING
I started rowing when I was 14. I joined the navy in 1942. In 1945 the war came to an end and I started rowing again.
In 1948 we were still on rations  : 4 oz. of red meat a week. But the United States had all the meat they wanted. They were the favorites to win.
On the day of the final, we led the Americans at the start, but their stronger staying power took them through to win. There were no ribbons on the medals, so we just showed them round the family.
THOMAS GODWIN, 91, BRITAIN
BRONZE, CYCLING
At 14 I left school and got a job delivering groceries on a bicycle, which excited my interest in cycling. When the war broke out, I volunteered but was held back, so I continued riding.
After my team won our bronze medals, we went home just round the corner and had a sit-down and a chat and a laugh. It was a different world. Money was never, never thought about.

<question>:
What did David Bond and Thomas Godwin have in common?

<options>:
A They both took part in a team event.
B A lot of money was awarded to them.
C The 1948 Olympics meant little to them.
D They both served in the army during World War II.

Read the following passage and questions, then choose the right answer from options, the answer should be one of A, B, C, D.

<passage>:
Think about the last time you felt a negative emotion--like stress, anger, or frustration. What was going through your mind as you were going through that negativity? Was your mind cluttered with   different kinds of thoughts? Or was it paralyzed, unable to think?
The next time you find yourself in the middle of a very stressful time, or you feel angry or frustrated, stop. Yes, that's right, stop. Whatever you're doing, stop and sit for one minute. While you're sitting there, completely _ yourself in the negative emotion.
Allow that emotion to consume you. Allow yourself one minute to truly feel that emotion. Don't cheat yourself here. Take the entire minute--but only one minute--to do nothing else but feel that emotion.
When the minute is over, ask yourself, "Am I willing to keep holding on to this negative emotion as I go through the rest of the day?"
Once you've allowed yourself to be totally immersed in the emotion and really feel it, you will be surprised to find that the emotion clears rather quickly.
If you feel you need to hold on to the emotion for a little longer, that is OK. Allow yourself another minute to feel the emotion.
When you feel you've had enough of the emotion, ask yourself if you're willing to carry that negativity with you for the rest of the day. If not, take a deep breath. As you exhale, release all that negativity with your breath.
This exercise seems simple--almost too simple. But, it is very effective. By allowing that negative emotion the space to be truly felt, you are dealing with the emotion rather than stuffing it down and trying not to feel it. You are actually taking away the power of the emotion by giving it the space and attention it needs. When you immerse yourself in the emotion, and realize that it is only emotion, it loses its control. You can clear your head and proceed with your task.

<question>:
What should you do when you are into negativity according to the article?

<options>:
A Listen to some music.
B Ignore it and do something else.
C Just do nothing and truly feel that emotion.
D Think about it and try to deal with it immediately.

Read the following passage and questions, then choose the right answer from options, the answer should be one of A, B, C, D.

<passage>:
I arrived in the classroom,ready to share my knowledge and experience with 76 students who would be my English literature class. Having taught in the US for 17 years,I have no doubt about my ability to hold their attention and to impress on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.
    I was shocked when the monitor shouted, "stand up!" The entire class rose as I entered the room and l was somewhat confused about how to get them to sit down again,but once the embarrassment  was over, I quickly regained my calmness and admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a strong sense of achievement.
    My students kept diaries. However, as I read them the rosy glow was gradually replaced by a strong sense of sadness.The first diary said, "Our literature teacher didn't teach us anything today perhaps her next lecture will be better." Greatly surprised.I read diary after diary, each expressing a similar theme. "Didn't I teach them anything? I described the entire Western  _ and laid the historical background for all the works we will study in class," I complained. "How should they say I didn't teach them anything?"
    It was a long term, and it gradually became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as those of my students. I thought a teacher's job was to raise interesting questions and provide enough background so that students could draw their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher's job was to provide exact information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!
    However, I also learned a lot,and the experience with my Chinese students has made me a better American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.

<question>:

<options>:
A was disappointed at her students' performance
B was very confident in her students
C felt she didn't teach them much
D felt very confident in herself at first

<passage>:
New research has shown that you might not just be feeling blue; you may also be seeing it differently. Your mood may affect how you see the world around you, according to a new study. A team of researchers has proved that sadness could have an effect on the way we see colors.
The team, led by psychology researcher Christopher Thorstenson of the University of Rochester, found that people who had a sad mood were less accurate in identifying colors on the blue-yellow axis  , compared to people who weren't feeling sad.
"We were already deeply familiar with how often people use color terms to describe common phenomena, like mood, even when these concepts seem unrelated," Thorstenson said in a statement. "We thought maybe a reason why these metaphors   appear was that there really was a connection between mood and identifying colors in a different way."
Thorstenson and his team are not the first to identify a link between a depressed mood and a difference in recognition. In 2010, Emanuel Bubl and his team at Albert Ludwigs University Freiburg in Germany first proved a link between mood and identifying colors. This was supported by a 2013 paper by Johnson Fam of the University of Singapore.
The team conducted two studies. In the first, 127 participants were chosen _ to watch one of two video clips, which had been proved in previous studies to feel either sadness or amusement. They didn't do that in a specific order. The entire group was then tasked with identifying the colors in 48 continued color changes. The group that had been shown the sad clip was measurably worse at identifying colors along the blue-yellow axis.
For the second study, 130 participants were randomly assigned to watch either a sad clip or a neutral   one. The sadness group showed reduced ability to identify colors along the blue-yellow axis than the neutral group.

In 1857 Louis Pasteur accepted a position at the Ecole Normale Superieure, a prestigious school in Paris.There, he continued the research on fermentation  that he had started earlier.
Ultimately, his research led to the process of pasteurization , which uses heat to kill harmful germs in a variety of food products.Later, Pasteur took on industry-related cases such as a disease affecting the silk industry.Beginning in 1865, Pasteur spent three years investigating the bacteria that were the culprits and developing ways to prevent their spread.
In 1866 Pasteur lost two daughters to typhoid fever.Two years later he became partially paralyzed as a result of grief and stress.But despite these difficulties, Pasteur pressed on to even greater accomplishments.
In the late 1870s, Pasteur began research in the emerging scientific field of immunization and developed a vaccine  for the deadly disease rabies.Following this success, the Pasteur Institute was founded to support Pasteur's work.Pasteur headed the institute until his death in 1895.Since then, the institute has continued to grow.Today, the institute's headquarters in Paris contain over 130 laboratories along with extensive teaching facilities and the institute's own medical center.Over the years, the institute has also extended through the establishment of around thirty research centers in other countries.At each one, researchers help local authorities monitor public health and provide medical treatment.
Unlike many research organizations, the Pasteur Institute is not government funded.Instead it relies on financial gifts that it receives from institutions and ordinary people.This insures the institute's independence and enables it to respond quickly when health needs arise.

In 1857 Louis Pasteur accepted a position at the Ecole Normale Superieure, a prestigious school in Paris.There, he continued the research on fermentation  that he had started earlier.
Ultimately, his research led to the process of pasteurization , which uses heat to kill harmful germs in a variety of food products.Later, Pasteur took on industry-related cases such as a disease affecting the silk industry.Beginning in 1865, Pasteur spent three years investigating the bacteria that were the culprits and developing ways to prevent their spread.
In 1866 Pasteur lost two daughters to typhoid fever.Two years later he became partially paralyzed as a result of grief and stress.But despite these difficulties, Pasteur pressed on to even greater accomplishments.
In the late 1870s, Pasteur began research in the emerging scientific field of immunization and developed a vaccine  for the deadly disease rabies.Following this success, the Pasteur Institute was founded to support Pasteur's work.Pasteur headed the institute until his death in 1895.Since then, the institute has continued to grow.Today, the institute's headquarters in Paris contain over 130 laboratories along with extensive teaching facilities and the institute's own medical center.Over the years, the institute has also extended through the establishment of around thirty research centers in other countries.At each one, researchers help local authorities monitor public health and provide medical treatment.
Unlike many research organizations, the Pasteur Institute is not government funded.Instead it relies on financial gifts that it receives from institutions and ordinary people.This insures the institute's independence and enables it to respond quickly when health needs arise.

<question>:
According to this article, what do ordinary people do?

<options>:
A Apply for jobs at the Pasteur Institute.
B Give money to the Pasteur Institute.
C Tour the Pasteur Institute in Paris.
D Contact the Pasteur Institute for advice

My name is Toby. I'm eighty-three years old now. I once knew the greatest man in England. William Shakespeare was his name. I first met William near a big field of apple trees in the town named Stratford in October, 1579. He told me he was 15 years old. He was two years older than me. He had a sister, Joan, and two younger brothers, Gilbert and Richard. And the next year he had another brother, Edmund. After William's parents died, he and his sister lived with his mother's brother. I became his friend from that day until he died. We met nearly every day. We were friends for thirty years.
I once worked with him in the theatre, through the good times and the bad times. William was good at acting. He could make all kinds of people pleased. By 1592, he became very famous. He was always busy day and night. I don't know when he slept. He not only acted in plays, but also wrote his own plays. In his whole life, William wrote 37 plays in all. He was the best  _ in England.
He wrote a play about love in 1595. It was Romeo and Juliet. He once used my name, Toby, in his play--Twelfth Night. In this play, Sir Toby Belch was a big fat man, who liked drinking too much and having a good time. Queen Elizabeth the First watched this play on the 6thof January, 1601. She liked it.
William Shakespeare is dead now, of course. He has been dead for more than thirty years. There's no singing, no dancing, no plays. It isn't like that in my young days. But I can still think--and remember when William and I were young, we had a good time in London, William and I...

Every dog has his day, and this Friday, June 21, just happens to be a really big one.
It's Take Your Dog to Work Day, your four-legged friend's turn to prove who is truly the boss. The day was founded in 1999 to celebrate the incredible companionship dogs provide and to encourage animal adoption.
Dogs have been having their day for some time now. Everywhere you look, there is some kind of pet-project going on, which for a dog lover like me, is a dream come true.
There are dogs starring in reality TV. Doggy day care is in high demand. Big well-known companies like Paul Mitchell, Omaha Steaks, and Harley Davidson have all jumped on the gravy-train   offering pet products including shampoos, food and clothes. The pet insurance business is booming. And, luxury hotels and apartment buildings are also catering to our furry friends, finally.
Make no bones about it, the pet industry is a multi-billion dollar business. According to the American Pet Products Association, 62 percent households in the U.S. own a pet. It's estimated that owners will spend about $55.5 billion on goods and services for their pets this year, up about $2 billion from last year.
That's a small price to pay for the unconditional love and loyalty you get from a pet. The bond between dog and dog owner began about 30,000 years ago when dogs started to become domesticated  . Since then, dogs have become faithful companions not only at home but also as service dogs, in the workplace and on the battlefield.
In addition to the unconditional love, companionship and sense of security that comes with dog ownership, there are also many health benefits. Research shows that owning a pet can help a person increase their amount of exercise, reduce their stress and lower their blood pressure.
And if that's not enough good news, here's more. The entire week is "Take Your Pet to Work Week" so there's no need to go to the office without your furry or even feathered (if your pet is a bird) friend.

<passage>:
Janelle was running late for work, so she just had time for a quick look at herself in the mirror as she was going out. What she saw there made her stop dead in her tracks.
Being a busy college student just one year removed from her teenage years, she wasn't exactly obsessive-compulsive  about the neatness of her clothes. But her boss at the restaurant where she works saw things a little differently. He had recently lectured the entire staff on the importance of appearance, and had specifically mentioned the need for servers to wear clean, unwrinkled blouses. As an assistant manager, Janelle felt it was important to set an example for the other employees. But if she stopped to iron the blouse normally, she would be late --and work without delay was an area of even greater concern to her boss.
So she grabbed her iron and plugged it in and set it for low heat. Carefully holding her blouse away from her body, she continued to iron it while she was wearing it. It seemed like a logical answer to an urgent problem.
And it seemed to be working until Janelle tried to iron the collar and accidentally ironed her neck by mistake. Then it suddenly seemed like a really stupid idea and a really painful one as well. It took more time to treat her burn than it would have taken to iron her shirt properly. And she spent a miserable shift dealing with the pain of the burn.
We've all been there, haven't we? For me it was cutting my own hair. For a former roommate it was trying to pull his own wisdom teeth. For another college acquaintance, it was trying to change the oil in his car while the motor was still running.
"There's a right way and a wrong way of doing things," Dad used to tell me whenever I'd spoil the look of our yard by trying out a faster, easier and more creative way of pulling weeds or edging the lawn. "If a thing is worth doing," he said, "it's worth doing it right." There's a reason why certain things are done in certain ways. Those old, boring, predictable ways work.

<question>:
Jenelle found in the mirror that   _  .

<options>:
A there were stains on her blouse
B her blouse was wrinkled
C she wore heavy makeup
D she put on a wrong blouse

Have you thought about what determines the way we are as we grow up? Remember the TV program Seven Up ? It started following the lives of a group of children in 1963. We first meet them as wide-eyed seven-year-olds and then catch up with them at seven-year intervals ( )  : nervous  14-year-olds , serious  21-year-olds , then  grown-ups.
     Some of the stories are inspiring ,others sad ,but what is interesting in almost all the cases is the  way  in which  the  children's early hopes and dreams are  shown  in their future lives, for example ,at seven ,Tony is a lively child who says he wants to become a sportsman or a taxi driver. When he grows up, he goes on to do both.  How about Nicki ,who says, "I'd like to find out about the moon. " and goes on to become a space scientist.  As a child, soft - spoken Bruce says he wants to help "poor children" and ends up teaching in India.
      But if the lives of all the children had followed this pattern, the program would be far less interesting than it actually was. It was the children whose childhood did not prepare them for what was to come that made the program so inspiring. Where did their ideas come from about what they wanted to do when they grew up? Are children influenced by what their parents do ,by what they see on television ,or by what their teachers say? How great is the effect of a single important event? Many film directors ,including Stephen Spielberg ,say that an early visit to the cinema was the turning point in their lives.  Dr. Magaret  Mc Allister ,who has done a lot of research in this area ,thinks that the major influences are parents , friends and the wider society.

<question>:

B The importance of television programs to children.
C Different ways to make childhood dreams come true.

I was driving home the other day on a sunny afternoon. I had a smile on my face as I sang along to the songs on the radio. It was such a beautiful day that I felt full of happiness. My good mood ended, however, when the radio station took a news break between songs. Then suddenly I found myself listening to yet another story of a rich famous man who had broken the law. I shook my head as I came to a red traffic light.
As I pulled to a stop I noticed four leatherjacketed bikers. They were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the light. They looked rough and dangerous, but as I got closer I noticed each one was holding their helmet in their hands. I rolled down my window as one approached my car. "We are the Brother of the Wheel," he said. "We are collecting money for Christmas Toy Drive for needy children." As I pulled a dollar out of my wallet I looked past his beard and into his eyes. They shined with goodness and kindness that came right from his soul. I dropped the money in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as I drove off. My good mood had returned. My faith in mankind had been _ . And I remembered once again never to judge people by their appearance.

Read the following passage and questions, then choose the right answer from options, the answer should be one of A, B, C, D.

<passage>:
We do some strange things when we don't like the way our life is going.Too often we blame someone else.''I wish my parents were more understanding."
"I have such a bad Chemistry teacher!"
"My friends are so boring and self-centered.They make my life worse and worse.''
Blame! Blame! Blame!
It seems natural to sing this self-pitying song,but the truth is,if you don't like your life,you should do something about it.No one else knows exactly how you feel or what you need.No one can read your mind correctly.You are the only one with the power to cheek your life,and if you want it to be different,you can change what you're doing.
When you're in trouble,don't give away your power to decide how you feel about yourself. Choose how you want to think and act.Other people can't make you unhappy or angry.They only act in their own way and then it's up to you to decide how you will respond .For example,your friends go out to lunch without you and you feel very angry.How are you going to act? You may blame your friends,"They are not kind.Who needs them anyway?" Or you may tell your friends how you feel,listen to their explanation,and let them know you'd like to be invited next time.
When you decide everything in your own way,you're getting hold of your own life and shaping it according to your tastes and feelings.You can choose to be happy,to make friends and to build an interesting life.When you blame others for what is or isn't happening in your life,you have stopped growing or learning.
One of the most important rules is that you can never change another person by your direct action.The only person you have the right to change is yourself.Once you change,the other person has something different to respond to and change is possible.If you want change in your life,begin with yourself.

<question>:
What should we do if we don't like our life?

<options>:
A Change what we're doing.
B Read our minds correctly.
C Sing that self-pitying song.
D Tell others what we want.

Read the following passage and questions, then choose the right answer from options, the answer should be one of A, B, C, D.

<passage>:
Most people think that the capital of the movie world is Hollywood in the United States. However, the real movie capital is Mumbai, in India. Mumbai used to be known as Bombay, and so the film industry there is called "Bollywood." Bollywood makes twice as many movies each year as Hollywood--more than 800 films a year.
The movies from Bollywood are very different from Hollywood movies. For one thing, Bollywood movies are much longer than most Hollywood movies. Most Bollywood movies are more than three hours long, and contain singing, dancing, action, adventure, mystery and romance (but usually no kissing). Because Bollywood films contain so many different features, this style of film is sometimes called a "masala" film. ("Masala" is an Indian word for a mixture of species.)
Another big difference between Bollywood and Hollywood movies is the way movies are made. It takes much longer to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood. In fact, filming may begin on a Bollywood movie before the script is finished. The director and writer can make up the story while the film is being made. Sometimes they will even write the script   by hand instead of taking time to type it.
Bollywood actors are very popular and some are in such high demand that they may work on several movies at the same time. They may even shoot  scenes for several films on the same day using the same costumes and scenery. Since most Bollywood movies follow the same kind of story, shooting scenes for several films at the same time is not a big problem for actors or directors. This also helps keep the cost of Bollywood movies lower than the cost of Hollywood movies. The average Bollywood film, with a budget of only two million US dollars, seems very cheap compared to the average budget of sixty million US dollars for a Hollywood film, thirty times as much!

<question>:
What is the main topic of the reading?

<options>:
A Famous stars in Bollywood.
B How Hollywood movies are made.
C The difference between two movie industries.
D The history of movie-making in India.

<answer>:
