For the 1992 Winter Games , French organizers constructed a new motorway, parking lots and runs for skiing in the Alps (阿尔卑斯山). Environmentalists screamed “Disaster!” Thus warned , the Norwegians have adopted “green” advice and avoided great spots on the landscape . The speed-skating rink was built to look like an overturned ship , and so as not to disturb the birds in the national park . Dug into a mountainside , the hockey stadium is well covered and energy efficient . The bobsled run is built out of wood not metal and hidden among trees. No wonder the president of the IOC (International Olympic Committee ) has called these the first “Green Games”.
Lillehammer’s opening ceremonies featured a giant Olympic Torch burning biogas produced by rotting vegetation . During construction , builders were threatened with $ 7,500 fines for cutting trees unnecessarily. Rare trees were carefully transplanted from hillside . Food is being served on potato-based plates that will be fed , in turn ,to pigs . Smoking has been banned outdoors as well as in , with enforcements by polite requests.
Environmentalist have declared partial victory : though Coca-Cola’s plan to decorate the town with flags has been scaled back (缩减,缩小),there are till too many boards and posters for strict green taste . Perhaps , but after the Games , athletes housing will be changed into vacation homes or shipped to the northlands for students dormitories . Embarrassed (尴尬的;难堪的) by environmental complaints, the IOC says that green awareness is now deep-rooted—along with sport and culture —as a long lasting part of the Olympic Charter (宪章).
Indeed , Sydney was successful in becoming host for the 2000 Summer Games in part on the strength of its support from Greenpeace . Other host cities are picking up the code. Salt Lake City , bidding for the 2002 Games , may choose to use the bobsled run that Calgary built for the ′88 Games . After that , who could deny that recycling is an Olympic movement ?
1.Which of the following countries didn’t pay enough attention to the “green” advice ?
A.Norway . B.France . C.America . D.Australia .
2.In which area did the environmentalists fail in Lillehammer ?
A.Energy . B.Housing . C.Smoking . D.Advertising .
3.Which of the following describes the IOC’s attitude towards the “green” advice ?
A.Think it right and will do something for it .
B.Pay no attention to it .
C.Think it difficult to deal with .
D.Apologize for what they did before .
4.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean ?
A.Other cities are paying enough attention to the green advice .
B.Other cities are trying to get support from the IOC.
C.Other cities are trying to use the bobsled run built in Calgary .
D.Other cities are trying to get the secret of hosting the Olympic Games .

Many people of my generation(代,一代) say that there is no hope for the future because of the way that 11 people behave today.
Their first argument(论点) is that when we were young we used to look after the 12 people in our community and help them. They also say that young people today don’t 13 about anything or anyone. However, I think the reason why we looked after older people was that we had no 14 . People had to live with their 15 and grandparents because they had no money. Young people today earn more and have more 16 to live where they want.
Their second argument is that in our day we didn’t expect (盼望,期待)to be given jobs -----and that young people now don’t look for jobs, but just complain(抱怨) about 17 . On the other hand, things were easier in the past and it was always easy to get a job if you had friends and contacts(关系). It is really 18 today.
In conclusion I think there is hope for the 19 . This generation, like generations before them, has new 20 as well as old problems. If they learn from our mistakes the world will be a better place in future.

Everyone has experienced trying but failing to master a difficult book, which was begun with the hope of increasing one's understanding. When that happens, it is 16 to think that it was a mistake to try to read it, but that was not the mistake. The mistake was in 17 too much from the first reading of a(n) 18 book. If you read it in the right way, no book written for the 19 reader, no matter how difficult, need be a cause for despair (绝望).
What is the right method? The 20 is an important and helpful rule of reading that is either not known or often forgotten. That rule is simply this: when reading a difficult book for the first time, read it through without ever 21 to think about the things that you do not understand immediately.
Do not be stopped by what you can't understand. Read through the difficult 22 , and you’ll soon come to things that you do understand. Read these 23 . You will have a much better chance of understanding all of the book when you read it again, but that 24 you to have read the book through once 25 .
What you understand by reading the book through to the 26 will help you when you try later to read the places that you did not 27 in your first reading. Or if you never re-read the book, understanding half of it is much better than understanding nothing of it, which will happen if you allow yourself to be stopped by the first difficult part of the book.
Most of us were taught to 28 the things that we do not understand. We were told to find the 29 of unfamiliar words, and to try to find an explanation in another 30 for anything that we did not understand in the book that we were reading. But when these things are done before the proper time, they only harm our reading, instead of helping it.

Over and over, I heard 15 words from the people who supported me during those 16 days. One wise man told me, “You aren’t doing nothing because being fully open to your 17 may be the hardest work you will ever do.”
I am not the person I 18 was, but in many ways I have changed for the 19 . I’ve been surprised to learn that there is incredible freedom coming form 20 one’s worst fear and walking away whole. I believe there is strength, for sure, in accepting a dark period of our life.
