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 1960 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 the1984 wheelchair Olympic Games, 1064 wheelchair athletes from 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 (来源) of disappointment for those who organize and take part in the games, however, has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic Committee (委员会) 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 to understand that their disabled fellow athletes should be included.

36. The first games for the disabled were held ______ after Sir Ludwig Guttmann arrived in England.

A. 40 years B. 21 years C. 10 years D. 9 years

37. Besides Stoke Mandeville, surely the games for the disabled were once held in _______.

A. New York B. London C. Rome D. Los Angeles

38. This text tells us that Sir Ludwig Guttmann _________.

A. is an early organizer of the games for the able-bodied

B. is welcomed by the British government

C. is an injured soldier

D. is from England

39. From the text, we may know that the writer is ________.

A. one of the organizers of the games for the disabled

B. a disabled person who once took part in the games

C. against holding the games for the disabled

D. in support of holding the games for the disabled

B

Gary Finkle was seriously hurt in a swimming-pool accident seven years ago. A heavy-set, bearded man of 27, he is one of thousands of Americans who have lost actually all feeling and movement from their shoulders down. He lives with his wife, Micky, and a female monkey named Jo outside the village of Andes, New York.

Gary takes part in an unusual organization called Helping Hands: Simian Aides (猴子助手) for the disabled. The organization supplies the disabled with trained monkeys that reduce the disabled person’s dependence on family, friends and hired servants.

Using his mouth, Gary controls a small laser (激光)pointer fixed on his wheel-chair. With it, he directs Jo to change books or the tape-recorder. She brings him drinks from a refrigerator (冰箱) and clears away empty containers.

When asked, Jo will fetch the remote control (遥控器) for the TV and place it on Gary’s working table where he can operate it with his mouthstick. This mouthstick can be used for practically everything: turning the pages of a book, dialing the telephone, changing channels on TV, working at a typewriter or computer. If Gary’s mouthstick drops to the floor, Jo will pick it up and gently put it again into his mouth.

“I can’t imagine living without her,” Gary says. He will always need human assistance for such things as getting in and out of bed, bathing or changing his clothes. But having Jo reduces his dependence on Micky, making it possible for her to do things in town without worrying about her husband’s safety.

40. Gary who was disabled can’t ________.

A. stand up to shake hands B. greet guests

C. admire the things outside D. turn his head

41. Before Jo came to the family, Gary________.

A. depended completely on his servant B. depended mainly on an assisting machine C. depended on the pity of other people D. depended completely on his wife

42. The underlined word “her” in the last paragraph refers to_________.

A. Gary B. Micky C. Jo D.Finkle

43. This text is mainly about ________.

A. why Gary and Jo are good friends B. Gary’s accident as a swimmer

C. Gary’s life and experience D. trained monkeys that can help the disabled

C

For a small town, Manhattan, Kansas has some big surprise. And one of them is the Holiday Inn Hotel, with rooms built around a swimming pool and a friendly family atmosphere.

The Holiday Inn is where Manhattan people often go for a special party, or a night out. A lot of them choose to eat in the brightly lit restaurant near the pool. And many of them will be served by Ellen Logan, who has worked as a waitress here for more than two years.

Ellen, like most of the waitresses, is also a student. She comes from Nebraska, but she’s planning one day to be a veterinary surgeon, and to care for small animals. But in order to support herself at college, she works twenty hours a week at the Holiday Inn.

Ellen soon learned what every waitress finds out. Your best friend is a good pair of shoes. She paid fifty-five dollars for hers, much more than she would usually spend. She’s discovered something else too. You don’t have to know much about food to be a good waitress, but you do have to know a lot about people.

“A lot of business people always stay here when they come to Manhattan”, she explains. “They like you to recognize them and remember their favorite dishes. But some couples come for a night out together. They just want to be left alone. Then there are people who can’t make up their minds. They look down the menu and say ‘What do you suggest?’ So I ask them how hungry they are. If they say ‘Not very’, ‘I suggest the salad bar, with soup, salad, bread and a fruit Kansas Strip Steak, with potatoes or rice. You get salad and bread as well, It’s very nice. Really good value.”

Ellen may get tired feet sometimes, but at least she’s learning too much about people. She’ll probably make a good animal doctor, but if she finds she doesn’t like it after all, she can always become a psychiatrist (精神病专家) instead.

44. A good title for this passage is ________.

A. Ellen Logan at the Holiday Inn B. American Holiday Inn

C. A special Holiday Inn hotel in Manhattan D. How to deal with people

45. The words ‘a veterinary surgeon’ means__________.

A. animal doctor B. animal trainer C. a hotel manager D. a food expert

46. From the passage we can infer (推断)that _________.

A. waitresses in the Holiday Inn are all students.

B. waitresses are required to buy a good pair of shoes before they go to work

C. waitresses should be familiar with the food there

D. it is more important for the waitresses to know much about people than food

47. From the passage we get to know that _________.

A. waitresses have to deal with all kinds of people except couples

B. the Holiday Inn hotel is a good hotel except the place it lies

C. Ellen Logan may get tired if the job sometimes because her feet gets tired often

D. Ellen Logan will help the people who aren’t sure which to eat to choose food
