10．Most people cannot live to 100．Those that do can hardly walk，let alone take part in any activities．A few people，however，take part in dangerous activities even though they are more than 100 years old---They keep going and going!There's a great great grandmother who likes challenging herself although she is 101 years old this year．
Mary Hardison believes that people should always be cheerful and more importantly，take on all kinds of adventures（冒險(xiǎn)） while they physically still can．So，instead of celebrating her 101st birthday with a boring party，she decided to go paragliding（高崖跳傘運(yùn)動(dòng)）-----an idea she got from her 75-year-old son who recently took it up as a hobby．
So on her birthday，cheered on by her big family，she tied herself up together with expert instructor（專業(yè)指導(dǎo)者） Kevin Hintze，and jumped fearlessly from the skies near her home in Ogden，Utah．And，it was not just a simple jump either．According to Kevin Hintze，the grandmother encouraged him to turn around，as they made their way down．
This is not the first time that Mary has done something"wild"and"crazy"．For her 90th birthday she rode all the adult rides at Disneyland．And，she is not done yet-----For her 102nd birthday she hopes to go down the 3，000 foot Alpine Slide at Utah's Park City Mountain Resort!
Not surprisingly，this great action has made Mary Hardison very famous and also earned her a place in the Guinness World Records where she broke a 2007 record set by a 100-year-old British woman．Pretty amazing!

18．The butterfly，which is competitive swimming's newest stroke（劃水），was developed in the mid-1930s，but it wasn't allowed in the Olympics until 1956．The story of the butterfly is a good illustration of how coaches and swimmers are constantly searching for ways to improve stroke efficiency．
    During the 1920s，the Japanese Olympic coaches used underwater photography to research stroke mechanics，and their efforts paid off when Japanese competitors won five of the six men's swimming gold medals at the 1932 Games in Los Angeles．
    It was a wake-up call to the rest of the swimming world，and one of the top US coaches-David Armbruster at the University of Iowa-began doing his own filming．
    Armbruster was seeking to make the breaststroke faster．He knew that the action of bringing their arms forward underwater slowed breaststrokes down，so he came up with a method of bringing the arms forward over the water．The improved stroke brought great improvements in speed．
    The following year，Jack Sieg，an Iowa swimmer，developed a technique involving swimming on his side and beating his legs at the same time similar to a fish tail．As Armbruster later explained in the book The History and Background of the Olympic Games："Sieg tried the same action while swimming face down．He synchronized（使…同步） his leg action with the butterfly arm action using two leg beats to each arm pull．"But the kick was ruled illegal because the legs moved in a vertical （垂直的） way．
    Within a few years，nearly every breaststroker was using this overarm butterfly action without the kick．The pure butterfly wasn't legalized for some two decades，but at the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne"the butterfly"became an official event．
56．The Japanese coaches use underwater photography in order toC．
A．wake up the swimming world              
B．know how to be a mechanic．
C．improve stroke efficiency．
D．be paid more money
57．According to the passage，which of the following statements is NOT true？D
A．The butterfly was added to the Olympics in 1956．
B．David Armbruster used filming to study stroke mechanics．
C．Sieg came up with the idea of beating legs like a fish tail．
D．The Japanese coaches improved butterfly stroke．
58．Before the pure butterfly was officially recognized，Byears or so had passed．
A.15               B.20               C.30          D.35
59．The best title of the article isA．
A．How did"the butterfly"come into being？
B．When did"the butterfly"become an official event？
C．How did the Japanese wake up the swimming world？
D．Why did the coaches and swimmers improve stroke efficiency？
