While watching the Olympics the other night,I came across an incredible sight.The 1 was swimming and started with only three men.For one reason or another,two of them had a 2 start,so they were disqualified.That would have been difficult enough,not having anyone to 3 against.
I watched the man 4 off the blocks and knew immediately that something was wrong.Now I’m not an expert 5 but I do know a good dive 6 a poor one,and this was not exactly medal 7 .I listened to the crowd begin to 8 this poor man who was clearly having a 9 time.Finally he made his turn to start back.It was 10 .He made a few desperate strokes (划水) and you could tell he was exhausted.
But in those few 11 strokes,the crowd had changed.No longer were they laughing,but beginning to 12 .Some even began to 13 things like,“Come on,you can do it!”,and he 14 finished his race.The crowd went 15 .Even though he recorded one of the 16 times in Olympic history,this man gave more heart than any of the other 17 .
In a competition where athletes remove their silver medals,feeling they have 18 been cheated out of gold,or when they act so 19 in front of their competitors,it is nice to watch an underdog (失败者),a man that gave his all—knowing that he had no chance,but competed because of his 20 and the spirit of the games.

Surfing: It’s Not Just for Boys Anymore
If you asked high school girls to name their favorite sports, most would probably say basketball or volleyball. I happen to be one of the few girls who would
36
: surfing. But isn’t that a boy thing? Some people
37
. Most certainly not.
I started surfing about five years ago and fell in love with the sport on the
38
first day. Riding that first
39
was the best feeling I had ever experienced.
When I try to
40
surfing with other things, I find it very difficult because, in my
41
, there’s nothing like it. It involves body,
42
, and soul. There’s sand between my toes and cool, salt water all
43
us. The feeling I get when I’m surfing across that
44 , becoming one with the
45
, is like I’m weightless.
The one thing I can
46
from surfing and not any other sport is endless challenge. You can never be the “best surfer” because the ocean
47
an uncountable variety of waves that nobody can ever master. The variations of surfing styles are wonderful. Some surfers are free and lowing; others are very aggressive (活跃有力的) and
48
. All of these things attract me to surfing and make it
49
from any other sport.
I’ve
50
to tell every girl I know to do something that people don’t think girls can do. It’s part of being human to advance to new
51
, so shouldn’t it be expected that girls should step up and start
52
the limits of things boys and men used to dominate (主宰)?
There’re women
53
side by side with the President of our country, so why not side by side with the boys
54
the football team or out in the water surfing? Give girls a chance to
55
, and they will.

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with a word or phrase that best fits the context.
Being alone in outer space can be
36
. That is one reason why astronauts on solo(单独的) space flights were given plenty of work to keep them. They were also in constant communication with people on the earth.
38
, being with people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than being alone. This is what happens on long submarine(潜水艇) voyages. It will also happen on
39
space flights in the future. Will there be special problems of adjustment under such conditions?
Scientists have studied the reactions of men to one another during long submarine voyages. They have also found that the longer the voyage lasts, the more serious the problem of
40
is. When men are
41
together for a long period, they begin to feel
42
. Everyone has little habits of speaking and behaving that are ordinarily acceptable. In the limited space over a long period of time, however, these little habits may become very
43
.
Apparently, although no one wants to be
44
all the time, everyone needs some degree of privacy. When people are enclosed together, they are in what is called stress situation. That means that they are under an unusual amount of
45
or stress.
People who are well-adjusted are able to
46
stress situations better than others. That is one reason why so much care is taken in
47
our astronauts. These men undergo a long period of testing and training. One of the things tested is their behavior under stress, and thus they can do better than ordinary people.
