    40 years ago the idea of disabled people doing sport was never heard of. But when the yearly 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 1990 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, 1,064 wheelchair athletes form about 40 countries took part. Unfortunately, they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles, along with the other Olympics.
    The games have been a great success in helping the progress of international friendship and understanding, 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 the Olympic Games for the able-bodied. Perhaps a few more years are still needed to persuade those fortunate enough not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athletes should be included.
    【小题1】The first games for the disabled were held ___ after Sir Ludwig Guttmann arrived in England.

    A．40 yearsB．21 yearsC．10 yearsD．9 years
    【小题2】Besides Stoke Mandeville, surely the games for the disabled were once held in_____.
    A．New YorkB．LondonC．RomeD．Los Angeles
    【小题3】What do we know about Sir Ludwig Guttmann from the passage?
    A．He is an early organizer of the games for the able-bodied
    B． He is welcomed by the British government
    C．He is an injured soldier.
    D．He is from England.
    【小题4】From the passage, we may know that the writer is_____.
    A．in favor of holding the games for the disabled
    B．against holding the games for the disabled
    C．a disabled person who once took part in the games
    D．one of the organizers of the games for the disabled


    【小题1】D
    【小题2】C
    【小题3】B
    【小题4】A

    When Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, “Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesn't work out, you'll have something to rely on.” Mary responded in typical teenage fashion. “From that moment on, the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course,” she recalls.

         The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her mum,” I don't know how to use a computer,” she admits.

         Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All, her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. “I felt there was a need for a book like this,” she says.” I didn't want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we're self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease.”

         But she hasn't always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up again and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet.

         Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity. “Everybody on earth can ask, 'why me?' about something or other,” she insists. “It doesn't do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I’ve come to realize the importance of that as I’ve grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be.”

    Why did Mary feel regretful?

       A. She didn’t achieve her ambition.           B. She didn’t take care of her mother.

    C. She didn’t complete her high school.        D. She didn’t follow her mother’s advice.

    We can know that before 1995 Mary         .

       A. had two books published                 B. received many career awards

    C. knew how to use a computer              D. supported the JDRF by writing

    Mary’s second book Growing Up Again is mainly about her _______.

    A. living with diabetes                    B. successful show business

    C. service for an organization               D. remembrance of her mother

    When Mary received the life-changing news, she _______.

       A. lost control of herself                   B. began a balanced diet

    C. had to get a treatment                   D. behaved in an adult way

    What can we know from the last paragraph?

       A. Mary feels pity for herself.                B. Mary has recovered from her disease.

       C. Mary wants to help others as much as possible. D. Mary determines to go back to the dance floor.

         Keeping a full social calendar may help protect you from dementia (痴呆),  researchers said on
    Monday.Socially active people who were not easily stressed had a 50 percent lower risk of developing
    dementia compared with men and women who were isolated and prone to distress,  they reported in the
    journal Neurology.
         "In the past,  studies have shown that chronic distress (长期抑郁) can affect parts of the brain,  
    possibly leading to dementia,  " HuiXin Wang of the Karolinska Institute in Sweden,  who led the study,  
    said in a statement."But our findings suggest that having a calm and outgoing personality in combination
    with a socially active lifestyle may decrease the risk of developing dementia even further."
         An estimated 24 million people worldwide have memory loss,  problems with direction and other
    symptoms that signal Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.Researchers believe the number of
    people with dementia may quadruple (变为四倍) by 2050,  underlining the importance of better
    understanding the condition.
         The Swedish study involved 506 elderly people who did not have dementia when first examined.The
    volunteers were given questionnaires about their personality traits and lifestyles and then tracked for six
    years.Over that time,144 people developed dementia with more socially active and less stressed men and women 50 percent less likely to be diagnosed with the condition.
         "The good news is,  lifestyle factors can be modified as opposed to genetic factors which cannot be
    controlled,  " Wang said."But these are early results,  so how exactly mental attitude influences risk for
    dementia is not clear."
