24、The rules of athletic track events (田径竞赛) are simple: the athlete who crosses the finish line first is the winner. There are rules for starting, running and finishing.
●Starting
In races of 1, 500 meters to 10, 000 meters, the athletes do not begin running on tracks, and the start line is curved (弯曲的). This means that all athletes begin the same distance from the finish.
When an athlete is getting ready to run in an event like the 100 or 200 metre sprint, they bend down and touch the track with their hands in the “set position”.
After taking the set position, the athlete must wait for the starter’s gun to be fired. If the athlete starts before the gun, it is a false start and the athlete will be disqualified (取消资格).
●Running the race
In all races that use lanes, each athlete must keep inside his lane all the time or be disqualified. An athlete who affects another athlete’s race is disqualified.
●The finish
An athlete finishes the race when his chest (胸部) or stomach reaches the finish line, but the head, neck, arms, legs, hands or feet are not included.
【1】Which of the following rules is not mentioned in the passage?
A.Starting.

Karie checked the words carefully on her spelling test. If she got 100 percent today, she’d win her class’s Spelling Challenge and a new dictionary. Plus, Ms. Green had promised to do a handstand if anyone got a perfect score.
Three more words to go. N-i-c-e-l-y. Q-u-i-c-k-l-y. H-o-n-e-s-t-y. Wait! She’d spelled honesty, not honestly! She deleted the t-y and wrote l-y before handing in her paper.
After the break, Ms. Green walked to the front of the room and cleared her throat. Then, as if she were an Olympic gymnast, Ms. Green’s feet flipped into the air. “Congratulations, Karie! You did it!” she announced while upside down. The whole class cheered! Ms. Green presented Karie with her prize. Karie smiled happily for her perfect in spelling.
After school, Karie rushed in to her home. “Everything’s PERFECT”she shouted, showing Mom her spelling test and prize. Karie picked up her cat. “Can you spell nicely, Casper? And quickly and honesly, and ...” Karie’s stomach tumbled(坍塌) to the floor. Honesly? H-O-N-E-S-L-Y!
After that, Karie stepped down the hall and fell onto her bed. How could she tell the class she hadn’t earned the prize after all? That Ms. Green did the handstand for nothing? Karie pulled out the test paper. It wasn’t her fault that Ms. Green had given her the prize. Shouldn’t Ms. Green have been more careful when grading her test? If, no one would ever know.
The next morning, Karie’s hands shook. She gave her teacher the spelling paper and the dictionary. “I can’t keep this. I misspelled honestly and you didn’t catch it.” “I see.” For a moment, Ms. Green picked up the pen. She crossed out the word “perfect” and wrote “honest” before handing the dictionary back to Karie. “I get to keep this? Honestly?” “For honestly, no.” Ms. Green smiled, “But for honesty, yes.”
