28、The Olympic Games began in 776 BC as part of a Greek religious festival. The Greeks celebrated their festival by holding competitions as well as by singing and dancing. When the Games were held, all the cities and tribes of Greece stopped their wars to show respect for the gods.

Originally there were four towns which took part in the activities, so each town held the Games once in four years. Since the Games at the town of Olympia were the most important, the four-year period Games became known as the Olympiad.

In the competitions, there were races, jumping, discus throwing, javelin tossing, boxing, wrestling and chariot races, very like the modern Games. But only men were allowed to compete in and watch these ancient Games. The stadium in Greek times was built in a horseshoe shape, 210 metres long and 30 metres wide. On a modern track, which is about 170 metres long and 100 metres wide, the bends are much less tight.

The ancient Olympic Games of Greece took place every four years for hundreds of years. But after the fifth century BC, the Greeks were conquered by the Romans, and Greece became part of the Roman Empire.

In Roman times the Olympic Games became a professional sports competition. Finally, the Games were stopped by a Roman emperor in AD 394, about a thousand years after they had first begun.

On June 23, 1894, Pierre de Coubertin, a Frenchman, founded the IOC (International Olympic Committee) in a ceremony held at the University of Sorbonne in Paris. Demetrius Vikelas from Greece became the first president of the IOC. Two years later, in 1896, the first Olympic Games of the modern era were held in Athens.

Four years later, the next Olympic Games were held in Paris with even more events and competitors than in the 1896 Athens Olympics. Since then, the Olympic movement has continued to grow.

【1】__________ was not included in the ancient Olympic Games.

A. Dancing   B. Singing

C. Holding competitions   D. Playing ball games

【2】Which of the following is not true about the ancient Olympic Games and the modern Olympic Games?

A. They were both held every four years.

B. They were both started in Greece.

C. They were both watched by all kinds of people.

D. They both upheld(维护)peace.

【3】The stadium in ancient Greek times was not __________.

A. in the shape of a horseshoe

B. 210 metres long

C. 30 metres wide

D. the same shape as the modern one

29、How to Focus on Studying

Unless you have a strong desire to learn the information or develop a skill, it can be hard to focus all of your attention. Here are some of the best tricks that help you increase your focus on studying.

【1】 Chose a right spot. And, in order to concentrate, you must remove the things distracting (分心) you. Put away mobile devices. Turn off the TV. Sit away from people making loud noises.

Come prepared. 【2】 Have pens, paper, textbooks or anything necessary at hand. You should take care of everything outside of studying before you sit down to focus. If not, you’ll just end up getting up repeatedly.

Make a schedule. Aim to work for 30-60 minute periods with 5-10 minute breaks in between. It is a lot easier to push yourself for a set period of time, if you know you have a break coming up. 【3】 Studying the same thing for too long is an invitation to boredom (枯燥).

Make lists and break down tasks. Write down your study goals for that day. Make sure the task is within your ability. It works for any task like reading a book, studying for a test, or whatever. And if you need to write 10 pages in a week, schedule yourself to write 2 pages a day for 5 days. 【4】

Vary your study techniques 【5】 Variety will keep you interested in your studies and make your time more efficient. By studying with different techniques, your brain will process the information differently, thus increasing the chance of keeping the information.

A．Find a suitable place.

B．Get rid of distractions.

C．Break the task into manageable parts.

D．Don’t limit yourself to one study method.

E．Be sure to have all the materials needed to work

F．Set a schedule to make full use of your study time.

G．Besides, schedule yourself to study different subjects.

31、阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

A few years ago, I enjoyed my summer vacation at New York’s Harriman State Park with a good friend. The place 【1】 we were going to was the beautiful Lake Sebago. It was certainly a nice place with tent platforms, a number of kayaks and swimming areas. It was quite 【2】(convenience) for us to fish there.

As soon as we reached the best nearby fishing spot, my friend began unloading the baggage, and passed me a fishing pole with a piece of red cloth attached 【3】 it. I positioned the pole in what I considered 【4】 (be) the perfect place and tried to cast (扔) the line in the water. After just a few failed tries, I finally had it down. Soon a 10-inch bluegill(蓝腮太阳鱼)caught it. Feeling excited but nervous, I pulled it up. The water was rather shallow (浅), so the fish wasn’t able to sink down or really run with the line. Even though it jumped out of the water several times during my struggle with this very first fish, I was still able to hold on 【5】 (patient).

At this time, my friend began running around the dock like a child madly in search of something. I never realized what that reaction was about until he shouted at me, looking very 【6】 (excite), “Hey, man, congratulations to you. This is the biggest fish that 【7】(catch) by us since half a year ago.”

I caught a total of six fish that day. There are many 【8】 (benefit) from fishing beside a lake or a river. It is both an 【9】(recreate) and an entertainment. I will never be fed 【10】 with such an outdoor activity.
