    　　Sport is full of wonderful moments, but maybe nothing is as exciting as the marathon, which is the longest, hardest race of all．The name comes from a small village in Greece, where a famous battle happened in 490 B．C．When the Greeks won, a soldier ran over 40 kilometres from Marathon to Athens to tell people the good news．When the modern Olympic Games were held in 1896, the organizers knew the story．The marathon has been a race since then．

    　　The Olympic Games are held every four years．The best players in the world, or at least the best “amateurs”, are collected in one place．An amateur is someone who does not earn money from sport．It is often difficult to say who is an amateur and who is not．It is true that Olympic athletes do not earn large amounts of money like professional sportsmen．But Olympic athletes are often students or teachers of a sport．They have to spend much time training．Their governments pay for their training travel and pocket money, because they want them to win．Some people think this changes the Olympics．They feel that the Games are now a political marathon．

    (1)

    How long has the marathon been a race in the Olympics?

    [　　]

    A．

    For over 100 years．

    B．

    For less than 100 years．

    C．

    For half a century．

    D．

    For thousands of years．

    (2)

    The professional players are those who ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    pay money for training

    B．

    earn money from sports

    C．

    are the same as the amateurs

    D．

    work for the government

    (3)

    Who often take part in the Games as Olympic athletes?

    [　　]

    A．

    All the amateurs of a sport．

    B．

    Students or teachers of a sport．

    C．

    Every professional sportsman．

    D．

    The winners of the Olympics．

    (4)

    Why do the governments pay the Olympic athletes?

    [　　]

    A．

    The athletes are training hard．

    B．

    It is the governments’ duty．

    C．

    The athletes are wanted to win．

    D．

    The athletes don’t earn money from sports．

    　　There is an important 　　18　　 in that race,Women are thought to be weaker,slower and not nearly 　　19　　 skilled in sport．Yet as Peggy so clearly showed,the similarities between men and women runners are more important than the differences．I have run with 　　20　　 women,and I can say that it is often hard work．
