One of the greatest runners of the 20th century,Emil Zatopek reigned long-distance running from 1948 until 1954 when he won a remarkable 38 consecutive (連續(xù)的) 10，000-metre race. He set 18 world records over various distances including every record from 5K to 30K， and won four Olympic gold medals and one silver.

  Emil Zatopek was born in Koprivnice,Czechoslo?vakiaon September 19， 1922. At age 16 he began working at the Bata shoe factory in Zlin. In 1940 Bata sponsored(贊助) a 1,500m race,and he was persuaded to enter even though he had no training. It turned out that Emil finished second and he began to take a serious interest in sports.

  Emil made his Olympic debut (首次亮相) at the 1948 London Games. Though with little international racing experience,he won the 10,000m and was second in the 5,000m.

  Emil married Dana Ingrova,fellow Czech team member shortly after the Olympics. Dana and Emil shared the same birthday,September 19th,and they married on that day in 1948.

  In 1952 at the Helsinki Olympics Emil achieved the impossible. Despite a doctor's warning that he shouldn't compete because of a serious infection two months before,he won the 5,000m,the 10,000m and the marathon,all within only eight days！ He set a new Olympic record in all these events,and he had never,run a marathon before ！ On the same day as his 5， 000-metre victory,his wife,Dana,won the Olympic javelin (標(biāo)槍) contest.

  In 1998 Emil was awarded the Order of the White Lion,a national honour presented to him by Czech President Vaclav Havel.

2.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容可知，他是被別人說服去參加比賽的，沒有經(jīng)過任何訓(xùn)練。所以可推斷出他的運(yùn)動(dòng)天賦的展現(xiàn)純屬偶然。

3.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段的"…h(huán)e won the 5，000m， the 10,000m and the marathon -- He set a new Olympic re?cord in all these events..."可知他打破了三項(xiàng)奧運(yùn)會(huì)紀(jì)錄。

 Imagine you got paid to do shopping,and could keep the things you bought with other people's money. Does this sound like a dream? Well,for some,like Amy Knott,from Chicago,this is their job.

 Amy Knott is a mystery shopper. She is paid to visit a store, eat in a restaurant, go to a bank,stay in a hotel, get her hair cut, fill up her gas tank,or see a movie. She pretends to be an ordinary customer,but afterwards she writes a report about her experience,commenting on things like：How long did you wait in line? Was the food hot? Did the cashier say " Thank you.”？Did the restroom have soap and tissue? This gives companies useful information about how they can improve their customer service.

 So who can become a mystery shopper? You do not need any special qualifications or experience, but you need a good memory,an eye for detail,and good writing skills. When you apply for the job,instead of an interview,you will be asked to write about some?thing like "What was your best shopping experience?"

But others,like Amy,make it their full-time career,and earn up to $ 40,000 a year.

  "I love mystery shopping. I can't believe I actually get paid to have fun," she said. "For example,tonight my husband and I will go out,have a $ 150 dinner, go to stay at a luxury hotel, and I'll walk away with $ 300.”

1.Amy Knott is paid to go shopping        .

   A.to see whether the cashier says "Thank you."

   B.to do a research for a company to improve its service
