40 years ago the idea of disabled people doing sport was never heard of. But when the annual games for the disabled were started at Stoke Mandeville, England in 1948 by Sir Ludwig Guttmann, the situation began to change. Sir Ludwig Guttmann, who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi Germany, had been asked by the British government to set up an injuries center at Stoke Mandeville Hospital near London. His ideas about treating injuries included sport for the disabled. In the first games just two teams of injured soldiers took part. The next year, 1949, five teams took part. From those beginnings, things have developed fast. Teams now come from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year. In 1960 the first Olympics for the Disabled were held in Rome, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games. Now, every four years the Olympic Games for the Disabled are held, if possible, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games, although they are organized separately. In other years Games for the Disabled are still held at Stoke Mandeville. In the 1984 wheelchair Olympic Games, 1064 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries took part. Unfortunately, they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles, along with the other Olympics. TheGameshavebeenagreatsuccessinpromotinginternationalfriendshipandunderstanding, and in proving that being disabled does not mean you can't enjoy sport. One small source of disappointment for those who organize and take part in the games, however, has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic Committee to include disabled events at Olympic Games for the able-bodied. Perhaps a few more years are still needed to convince those fortunate enough not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athletes should not be excluded. In Paragraph 3, the underlined word "athletes" means__________.A.people who support the games B.people who watch the games C.people who organize the games D.people who compete in the games

根据下面资料，回答 Bum rate is the speed at which a start up business consumes money. My rate would be $50,000 a month when my new media company started. So, I began looking around for individuals who would be my first investors. "Angel money" it was called. But when I reviewed my list of acquaintances to find those who might be able to help, I found the number got small. With no other choices, I began meeting with the venture-capital companies. But I was warned they took a huge share of your company for the money they put in. And if you struggled, they could drop you cold. As I was searching for "angel money", I started to build a team who trusted me even though I didn′t have money for paying checks yet. Bill Becker was an expert in computer programming and image processing at a very famous Media Lab at M.I.T. With his arrival, my company suddenly had a major technology "guy" in-house. Katherine Henderson, a film maker and a former real-estate dealer, joined us as our director of market research. Steve White came on as operating office. He had worked for the developer of a home-finance software, Quicken. We grabbed him. We had some really good people, but we still didn′t have enough money. One night, my neighbor, Louise Johnson, came for a visit. She and I were only nodding acquaintances, but her boys and ours were constant companions. She ran a very good business at the time. Louise was brilliant and missed nothing. She had been watching my progress closely. She knew I was dying for money and I had prospects but could offer no guarantees of success. She told me that her attorney had talked to mine and the terms had been agreed upon. She handed me an envelope. Inside was a check for $500,000. I almost fell down. I heard her voice as if from heaven. "I have confidence in your plan," she said. "You′ll do well. You′re going to work for it, but it′ s satisfying when you build your own company." Who could have thought I′ d find an angel so close to home? There were no words sufficient for the moment. We just said good night. She left and I just stood there, completely humbled and completely committed. The author easily built a team of his company because _____________.A.they were underpaid at their previous jobs B.they were turned down by other companies C.they were confident of the author and his business D.they were satisfied with the salaries in his company

共用题干 My Life at RendaI learned very quickly that being a teaching assistant(TA)at the University of Iowa would be different from a teacher at Renmin University.______(46)Eyes staring,mouths open, students examining my big nose,hands nervous,people whispering while I wrote my name on the blackboard.At Iowa,when my first classes began,half my students still hadn't arrived.When everyone finally found a seat,ringing cellphones and loud yawns（哈欠）interrupted my opening remarks.It is not that American students were disrespectful.______(47)They were,however,far more skeptical than the students I had at Renda. The truth is I couldn't fault them for their skepti- cism.Undergraduates at large US universities-especially freshmen and sophomores-often have several classes a semester handled by TAs.In some.cases,the TA sets the course content. ______(48)Most have good intentions,but only a few are as effective as flesh-and-blood pro-fessors.Every teacher has to confront obstacles to learning-no matter what the culture.Students who talk during lectures,students who cheat,students who question the grade they get for a paper or project-dealing with these is all part of the job.______(49)The difference,I think,is that in the US I had to swallow more of my pride.______(50) I had a responsibility to teach them,of course,but I had to do so indirectly-as a guide who himself had a few things to learn from the students.______(50)A: Back at Renda,I had walked into my first classes feeling like a celebrity.B: In my students' minds,I had little to offer them,except perhaps some sample questions for the mid-term exam.C: In others,the TA works as a grader and discussion leader.D: I encountered these in China,and I faced them in the US.E: On the other hand,being taught by a graduate student is not necessarily bad.F: Most were polite,or at least,indifferent.

Social customs and ways of behaving change．Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable．Just a few years ago,it was considered impolite behaviour for a man to smoke on the street．No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room. Customs are also different from country to country．Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country?Or doesn't it matter?What about table manner?Should you use both hands when you are eating? The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs．For example,in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time．Also,most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman,and so will most Americans．Promptness is important both in England and in America．That is,if a dinner invitation is for 7 o'clock,the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay. The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable--especially if they are your guests．There is an old story about a man who gave a dinner party．When the food was served,one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife．The other guests were amused or shocked,but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way．It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.The writer of this article may agree with which of the following?A.The guest who ate his peas with a knif B.The other guests who were amused or shocke C.The host who picked up his knife and began eating in the same wa D.None of the abov

共用题干 The First Settlement in North AmericaIt is very difficult to saythat when colonization began.The first hundred years after Christo-pher Columbus’s journey of discovery in 1492 did not produce any settlement on the North Ameri-can continent but rather some Spanish trading posts further south,a great interest in gold and ad-venture,and some colorful crimes in which the English had their part.John Cabot,originally from Genoa but a citizen of Venice, was estahlished as a trader in Bristol,England,when he made a journey in 1497 .But his ship,the Matthew,with its crew of eighteen,did no more than see an island(probably off the New England coast)and return home.He and his son made fur-ther voyages across the north Atlantic,which enahled the English Crown to claima“legal”title to North America.But for a long time afterwards the Europeans,interest in America was mainly con-fined to the Spanish activities further south.Th e fi rst heginning of permanent settlement in North America was nearly a hundred yearsa仁 ter Columbus'5 first voyage.The Englishman Sir Walter Raleigh claimed the whole of North Amer-ica for England,calling it Virginia.In 1585 he sent a small group ofpeople who landed in Roano-ke Island,but they stayed only for a year and then went back to England with another expedition, led hy Drake,in 1 5 87 .A second group who landed in 1 587 had all disappeared when a further expedition arrived in 1590.The first permanent settlement in North America was in 1 607 .English capitalists founded two Virginia companies,a southern one hased in London and a northern one based in Bristol.It was decided to give the name New England to the northernarea.The first settlers in Virginia were lit-tle more than wage slaves to the company.All were men and the experiment was not very success-ful .Many died.Those who survived lived in miserable conditions.By 1619 the colony had onlya thousand people. There were eighteen people on board the Matthew during its voyage to North America in 1497.A: RightB: WrongC: Not mentioned
