1 . The first basketball game was played in the late 19th century in Massachusetts, America. On a cold winter day,_______it was impossible to do much outdoor sports, Canadian Doctor James Naismith came up with the idea of a new ball game,_______he hoped people would enjoy during the long winter months.

James wrote some simple rules for the new ball game, most of_______rules are still in place today. But some of the rules have changed a bit. For example, in the original game rules, bouncing the ball was prohibited.

After the new ball game was introduced to the public, it was such a hit_______attracted many people’s attention. Many people came to indoor sports centers in groups______they could avoid the extremely low temperature outdoors to play this new ball game together. The first basketball game_______consisted of 18 players was standard to the baseball teams of the day.

Since Naismith didn’t have the money to design a new ball, early games used the soccer ball,______the price was relatively low. Later on,William R. Chase made the ball go into the basket, and thus became the first player to ever score in a basketball game. It was during this game_______someone suggested a name for this new sport --- basketball.

2 . For the first time in its history, the International Olympic Committee has allowed a team of refugees to compete at the Games. All of the team’s members were forced to leave their home countries. Now they’ve come together to compete under the Olympic flag instead.

Making it to the Olympics is something eighteen-year-old swimmer Yusra has always dreamed of. But just last year, she was swimming for her life. She and her sister were forced to leave their home in Syria because of the war there. They were trying to get to Greece in a rubber dinghy (橡皮艇) with eighteen other refugees, when their boat broke down and began filling with water. Most of the people on board couldn’t swim, so she and her sister jumped in to help push it to shore.

Three hours later, they made it to safety, and eventually to Germany as refugees. Refugees are people who have left their home country because their lives are threatened by war, bad treatment or violence---often because of their race, gender or beliefs. Around the world, more than 60 million people are in this situation. And some of them, like Yusra, are elite athletes who have trained all their lives to compete at the highest level, only to have that chance taken away.

Now, a team of ten, including swimmers, runners, and judokas from Syria, South Sudan, Ethiopia and Congo have been given the chance to compete at the Games under the Olympic flag. They’ve also been given their own coaches, officials, uniforms and a chef, all paid for by the IOC. And in the past few months they’ve been training hard. The IOC says it wants the team to inspire and give hope to other refugees, and draw attention to the issues millions of other around the world are facing. And these guys say they are up to the task whether they win gold or not.

“These refugee athletes will show the world that despite the unimaginable tragedies that they have faced, anyone can contribute to society through their talent, skills and strength of the human spirit,” the statement continues.

1. What does the underlined sentence mean?

A．She trained all her life.

B．She swam for the glory of life.

C．She swam to escape being drowned.

D．She swam to escape from other refugees.

2. Where do Yusra and her sister live as refugees now?

B．Germany

C．Congo

D．Ethiopia

3. Which of the following is NOT a reason why the refugees are threatened to their country?

A．Race

B．Violence

C．Religion

D．Nationality

4. The IOC allowed a team of refugees to complete in the Olympic Games in order to ________.

A．help the refugees to fulfill their dreams of winning the Olympic gold medal.

B．offer the refugees a chance to earn bread by themselves.

C．light a candle of hope for all the refugees in the world.

8 . Riding bikes should be fun, and in order to have the most fun out there, we rounded up the best beginner cycling tips to help you get rolling.

Get a bike fit

Avoid doing too much too soon

One of the biggest sources of injury comes from trying to take on too much mileage before you’re ready.    4    .

Group rides have their own rules for a reason.    5    . If it’s your first time riding with a new group, hang out in the back, observe, and ask for help if you need it. No question is a dumb question when your own safety and the safety of the group is at stake.

B．Set your seat height right

C．Maybe you love riding non-competitively with a group
