From the start of the modern Olympics, male athletes of every race, religion, and national

ity have been allowed to participate. No women competed in 1896. A few female golfers and tennis players were allowed to take part in the 1900 Games. Female gymnasts and track-and-field athletes first competed at the 1928 Games. Womens Olympic sports have grown hugely since then. Today women make up about half of the total number of competitors. This has not been the only change. Figure skating was part of the Summer Games of 1908 and 1920, and ice hockey was played in 1920. They then became part of the Winter Olympics, which was first held in 1924 in France. Although founded to help world peace, the modern Olympic Games sometimes become a stage for political arguments. The most controversial Olympics were the Berlin Games of 1936. Under the rule of the Nazis, German Jewish athletes were banned from the German team. The Olympic Games were interrupted twice during the First and Second World Wars. The event was not held in 1916, 1940 and 1944.

Schooling and Education

It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an education.Nevertheless,it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school.The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schoolin9. Education knows no bounds. It can take place anywhere,whether in the shower or in the job,whether in a kitchen or on a tractor.It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning?The agents of education can range from a revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio,from a child to a distinguished scientist.

Whereas schooling has a certain predictability,education quite often produces surprises.A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions.People are engaged in education from infancy on.Education,then,is a very broad。inclusive term. It is a lifelong process,a process that starts long before the start of school.and one that should be an integral part of one’s entire life.Schooling,on the other hand,is a specific,formalized process,whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next.

Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time.take as.signed seats,are taught by an adult,use similar textbooks,do homework,take exams.and soon.The slices of reality that are to be learned,whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of government,have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught.For example,high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their elasses the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with.There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.

There is no difference between schooling and education in the United States. 查看材料

Trying to Find a Parther

One of the most striking findings of a recent poll in the UK is that of the people interviewed, one in two believes that it is becoming more difficult to meet someone to start a family with.

Why are many finding it increasingly difficult to start and sustain intimate relationships? Does modern life really make it harder to fall in love? Or are we making it harder for ourselves?

It is certainly the case today that contemporary couples benefit in different ways from relationships. Women no longer rely upon partners for economic security or status. A man doesn't expect his spouse to be in sole charge of running his household and raising his children.

But perhaps the knowledge that we can live perfectly well without a partnership means that it takes much more to persuade people to abandon their independence.

In theory, finding a partner should be much simpler these days. Only a few generations ago, your choice of soulmate (心上人) was constrained(限制) by geography, social convention and family tradition. Although it was never explicit, many marriages were essentially arranged.

Now those barriers have been broken down. You can approach a builder or a brain surgeon in any bar in any city on any given evening. When the world is your oyster (牡蛎),you surely have a better chance of finding a pearl.

But it seems that the old conventions have been replaced by an even tighter constraint: the tyranny of choice.

The expectations of partners are inflated(提高) to an unmanageable degree: good looks, impressive salary, kind to grandmother, and right socks. There is no room for error in the first impression.

We think that a relationship can be perfect. If it isn't, it is disposable. We work to protect ourselves against future heartache and don't put in the hard emotional labor needed to build a strong relationship. Of course, this is complicated by realities. The cost of housing and child-rearing creates pressure to have a stable income and career before a life partnership.

What does the recent poll show?

A.It is getting more difficult for a woman to find her husband.

B.It is getting increasingly difficult to start a family.

C.It is getting more difficult for a man to find his wife.

D.It is getting increasingly difficult to develop an intimate relationship with your spouse.

听力原文: Speaker One

Man: Three months after I joined SMU Company Ltd, I had the idea to start my own business.

The company provided service to put one language into another. The commission was really attractive. As I majored in international business and had worked in the UK for three years, I had many friends in companies. So, I left that company and was preparing to start my business. Actually I did not invest any money in it. I just cooperated with a big company which provided that kind of service I did the business under that company's name. That company obtained 10% commission for each of my transactions. For example, when I got an order from Company A to put the documents into Japanese, I charged Company A 10,000 yuan. Then my business partner got 1,000 yuan from me.

Speaker Two

Woman: I used to be a well-known professor in a university, teaching international marketing. When I was 52 years old, I changed my role. I stopped teaching and started a company of my own. But at the very beginning, I badly needed money to apply for founding a company. That was a very big sum for me at that time: 50,000 yuan. I withdrew all my bank deposit and asked my uncles and brothers to lend me some money. After one month's hard work, I founded my small business on Dec. 8th, 1995. With the rest of the money, I started to buy some construction materials in small quantity. Sometimes I obtained the materials just on credit. After I had sold out those materials, I paid my suppliers. Now my company has a registered capital of US $ 2.5m with 28 outlets throughout China.

Speaker Three

Man: About fifteen years ago, after I retired from a key university, I helped some good friends' children with their English. With my help, their English improved greatly. One of my good friends advised me t0 have more students. I followed his advice. As my students made great progress in English, I became more and more famous. Then I rent a large flat as a classroom where students from high schools, universities, and from companies came to learn English in the evenings or at weekends. Some years ago, a successful businessman sent his child to my class to learn English. Finding my business was so prosperous, he invited me to start an evening school. But I suggested that we should start a full-time school. He adopted my suggestion. I invested my know-bow and he invested money in establishing the school. Now the school has grown into a large-scale college which chiefly enrolls full-time students as well as evening school students.

Speaker Four

Woman: It is true that a bad thing may turn into a good consequence. Some years ago, I made a serious mistake in my work. So I had to resign the important position in the government ministry. To make a living, I planned to start a real estate agency, as I found it would be a promising business. But money was a big problem. I lacked the fund to start the business. At least I had to have enough money to rent a house as my office. With some good friends' help and with the money I borrowed from a bank, I had my real estate agency opened soon. Just as I had expected before, the market became better and better. Now I have 28 branches in this city and quite a number of outlets in some other big cities.

Speaker Five

Man: More and more young people are interested in MBA and other business courses. This is because China is in need of more people involved in business. Courses are a real promising industry. Accordingly, textbooks are needed for those courses. Just think about the MBA programs in most of China's universities. I supposed that it was a very good market. I told the idea to my friends. They all thought it was a good idea. But when I turned to them for financial help, they suddenly became poor, even poorer than I. Then I really understood the implication of the saying "A friend in need is a friend indeed" I had no way out. I decided to put my flat on th

Weight Worries May Start Early for Slim Women

There is a range of reasons why thin women think they're too heavy, but the distorted body image may often have its roots in childhood, the results of a new study suggest.

Researchers found that among more than 2400 thin women they surveyed, nearly 10 percent thought they were too heavy. (46)

According to the study authors, led by Dr. Susanne Kruger Kjaer of the Danish Cancer Society Copenhagen, " society's ideal" female body is moving toward an underweight physique (体格). (47)

To investigate body image among thin women, the researchers gave questionnaires (调查表)to 2, 443 women ages 27 to 38 whose body mass index was at the low end of normal. (48)

Overall, almost 10 percent of the women thought they were too heavy. Those who reported certain "severe life events" in childhood or adolescence, such as having a parent become ill or having their educational hopes dashed (使破灭) , were more likely than others to have a distorted body image. (49)

In contrast, traumatic (使人不快的)events in adulthood, such as serious illness or significant marital problems, were not related to poor body image, the researchers report. (50)

A. The same was true for women who started having sex or drinking alcohol when they were younger than 15 years old.

B. Experiences in childhood, including having an ill parent, or starting to drink or have sex at a particularly young age, were among the risk factors for having a distorted body image.

C. "Our results indicate that the risk of being dissatisfied with (one's) own body weight may be established early in life. "Kjaer and her colleagues write.

D. Research suggests that many normal-weight women wish to weigh less.

E. If worries have altered your appetite or weight, it will help to talk to someone about it.

F. The women were asked about factors ranging from childhood experiences to current exercise habits.
