The modern Olympic Games, founded in 1896, began as contests between individuals, rather than among nations, with the hope of promoting world peace through sportsmanship. In the beginning, the games were open only to amateurs. An amateur is a person whose involvement in an activity---from sports to science or the arts---is purely for pleasure. Amateurs, whatever their contributions to a field, expect to receive no form of compensation ; professionals, in contrast, perform their work in order to earn a living.
From the perspective of many athletes, however, the Olympic playing field has been far from level. Restricting the Olympics to amateurs has precluded（妨礙） the participation of many who could not afford to be unpaid. Countries have always desired to send their best athletes, not their wealthiest ones, to the Olympic Games.
A slender and imprecise line separates what we call “financial support” from “earning money.” Do athletes “earn money” if they are reimbursed（補(bǔ)償） for travel expenses? What if they are paid for time lost at work or if they accept free clothing from a manufacturer or if they teach sports for a living? The runner Eric Liddell was the son of poor missionaries; in 1924 the British Olympic Committee financed his trip to the Olympics, where he won a gold and a bronze medal. College scholarships and support from the United States Olympic Committee made it possible for American track stars Jesse Owens and Wilma Rudolph and speed skater Dan Jansen to train and compete. When the Soviet Union and its allies joined the games in 1952, the definition of amateur became still muddier. Their athletes did not have to balance jobs and training because as citizens in communist regimes, their government financial support was not considered payment for jobs.
In 1971 the International Olympic Committee(IOC) removed the word amateur from the rules, making it easier for athletes to find the support necessary to train and compete. In 1986 the IOC allowed professional athletes into the games.
There are those who regret the disappearance of amateurism from the Olympic Games. For them the games lost something special when they became just another way for athletes to earn money. Others say that the designation of amateurism was always questionable; they argue that all competitors receive so much financial support as to make them paid professionals. Most agree, however, that the debate over what constitutes an “amateur” will continue for a long time.
【小題1】 One might infer that _______________________.

A．developing Olympic-level skills in athletes is costly
B．professional athletes are mostly interested in financial rewards
C．a(chǎn)mateurs does not expect to earn money at the sport that is played
D．a(chǎn)mateurs have a better attitude than professionals do
【小題2】 The statement “the Olympic playing field has been far from level” means that__________.
A．the ground the athletes played on was in bad condition
B．the poorer players were given some advantages
C．the rules did not work the same way for everyone
D．a(chǎn)mateurs were inferior to the professionals in many ways
【小題3】 The financial support given to athletes by the Soviet government can best be compared to ________________.
A．a(chǎn) gift received on a special occasion, such as a birthday
B．money received from a winning lottery ticket
C．a(chǎn)n allowance paid to a child
D．money from charity organization
【小題4】 One can conclude that the Olympic Organizing Committee _________________.
A．has held firm to its original vision of the Olympic games
B．has struggled with the definition of amateur over the years
C．regards itself as an organization for professional athletes only
D．did nothing but stop allowing communists to participate

With the average home in the capital selling for 19,548 yuan a meter in November, a tiny mobile home built by a 24-year-old office worker is creating a stir(震動(dòng)) online.

  Dai Haifei built the 6-square-meter pad(住所) because he could not afford to buy or rent in the capital.

  Dai’s new home costs him 6,400 yuan and he has been living in it for nearly two months in courtyard at Chengfu

Road, Haidian district.

  Dai, who is one of the millions of migrants who moved to the capital from other parts of China seeking a better

life and better job, said he realized his financial burden had become too great.

  The Hunan native said he simply could not make ends meet(收支相抵) when he became an intern at a

Beijing-based construction design company in 2009.

  “I rented a home at the very beginning--a small room in an apartment that cost me about 900 yuan per month,”

said Dai in an interview with local media. “It was too expensive for me. ”

  Dai’s father works on a construction site in his hometown and his mother is a cleaner.

  Dai, who ended up becoming a formal employee of the company, figured out his own way to solve the

problem---with inspiration from a housing design project at his company’s exhibition early this year.

  The project, named“An egg given birth to by the city”, included a series of egg-like movable houses, with a

karaoke house, chair house and trader’s house in it.

  Dai, who borrowed 6,400 yuan from an older cousin and who got additional help from several friends, decided to

make one of his own. He spent nearly two months building his“egg house”in his hometown, a village in southeast

Hunan that is around 1,700 kilometers from Beijing.

1.Where is this passage probably taken from?

A. A story book.                  B. A cartoon film.        C. A news report.          D. A research report.

2.What is Dai Haifei?

A. An official of government.               B. A journalist.

C. An office worker of a company.           D. A manager of a company.

3.Why did he build the pad?

A. Because he will sell it for money.

B. Because he has no house to get married in.

C. Because he doesn’t have enough money to buy or rent a house.

D. Because he wants to get help from the society.

4.Which statement is not TRUE?

A. He comes from a Hunan village.       

B. He has lived in the egg home for two months.

C. He got the idea from a friend.

Earlier, in the old days, women used to sit at home separated from the outside world. They used to manage the home and look after children. They were free of the responsibility of earning money to support the family, which was left to men.

With the coming of industrialization (工業(yè)化) and technological development, the lifestyles of human beings started to change. The needs of human beings started to grow. In this process, women slowly started to move outside the home. Women received the same education as men. Gradually, women slowly started to think independently and participated equally with men in all fields of life, including politics, sports and even military.

With changing environments, the role of women has become more important in society. To match today’s standard of living, it is necessary for both men and women to support the family.

Today, women have been given bigger roles to play in society. They are even taking more responsibility than men. At first, men disagreed with women pursuing (追求) their careers outside the home. However, with growing needs and a shortage of money, they had no other way but to accept the reality.

The financial contributions from women to their families have increased, but in some places, the home is still managed only by women as in the past. It is a challenging task for women to manage both. Women are bearing the stress and suffering mental difficulties with both managing the home and pursuing their careers.

A．Women's Responsibility in Society           B．The Changing Social Environments
