Once one year a race is held. A lot of cars took part this race last year and there had a lot of experiments just before it began. One of the most beautiful car was a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost.

3 . During the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, many world records were broken. They fell in swimming，cycling，running and a number of other sports. How do athletes continue to get better, jump longer，run or swim faster? Although scientists say that athletes have reached their limits（极限）, records continue to fall. In almost every sport athletes have become better since the Olympic movement began.

One reason is that more and more people than ever before have access to sports and exercise. They start at an earlier age and can compete longer in their sports. In schools more and more natural talents can be discovered. Another reason is that athletes can train harder and, as professionals，concentrate wholly on their sports instead of rushing to a training session after their day job. As medicine improves, athletes can stay in competition for a longer time and overcome injuries faster. Technology has also helped improve scores and equipment is getting better. One of the most important factors, however, is the human mind. It lies in our nature to be better and faster than someone else. The will to break a barrier（障碍）can release great power in your body.

So, where are the limits? Some years ago, nobody thought a person could run under 10 seconds in the 100-meter dash. But the record was broken at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics. At the moment Usain Bolt is the fastest man on earth at 9.58 seconds. Scientists say that 9.48 may be the absolute（绝对的）limit for running such a distance, but, who knows，maybe some runner will one day run under 9 seconds.

4 . Cheerleading（拉拉队）has a rich history in the United States.     1     Even professional sports teams have cheerleaders，so those who love to cheer can continue the sport into adulthood.

Organized cheering started at Princeton University in 1884, when the crowd created a cheer to inspire its team. In 1898, Tom Peebles became the first cheerleader when he led the crowd at the University of Minnesota.     2    In 1923, cheerleading expanded to women.

Cheerleading has grown considerably since its origins.     3     In addition, every team in the NFL has a cheerleading squad（队）, as well as the majority of NBA teams.

    4     From 1982 to 2006, 45 major injuries occurred during high school cheerleading events, with two of those injuries leading to deaths. Of the 45 injuries, 14 of them led to permanent disabilities. During the same years，one female college student died，while an additional five ended up with a disability and 11 suffered serious injuries.

To help keep safe in the sport, the American Association of Cheerleading Coaches and Administrators has made some rules that members must follow.     5     During a forward roll, the top person must begin in a non-inverted（非倒立的）position and keep hand-to-hand contact with two bases throughout. These moves must also include a spotter who can protect the top person’s head and neck in case of a fall.

G．Many cheerleaders begin the activity in the primary school and can continue until universities.

5 . Cold weather during winter months may keep many people from leaving home and running in the open air. However, a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run.    1    

Many people say running in winter can be difficult. One reason is the low temperature.     2     Yet many runners might find it easier than running in hot weather. That could be because lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate and the body’s dehydration（脱水）levels are lower than in warmer conditions.    3    

This information comes from John Brewer, who is a professor of applied sports science at St. Mary’s University. For this study，he and other researchers put a group of people into a special room. The researchers then recreated summer and winter weather conditions in the room.     4     Brewer says he and his team recorded biological measurements of the runners.

He says that the most important thing for people who run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing. Wear gloves on your hands.     5     And especially, wear more than one layer of clothing to keep sweat away from your skin.

A．The other reason is the bitter winds.

B．We have good reasons to run in winter.

C．Wear shoes that will keep you from falling.

D．Don’t be nervous when you run in cold weather.

E．The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather.

F．In fact, running in cold weather helps improve one’s performance.

G．The test subjects were asked to run 10, 000 meters under both conditions each.

8 . If you have ever done competitive sports,you will know that starting a new season means a lot of hard work and practice.     1     Here are a few ways to make sure that you’re ready for the first day. 

    2     Ask your coach, gym teacher or trainer for some advice before writing your plan. Besides, write down how long you have worked out and what activity you have done. 

Ask your coach if you aren’t sure what you need. New equipment can be expensive, so think about using some second-hand equipment if it’s available. Brothers, sisters and friends can be great sources of used equipment.     3     You can ask your coach to take a look at it before the first day of practice. If you are a returning player, take out all your equipment, try it on and make sure that it still fits and works. 

    4     Sports camps can help new and experienced players brush up on skills before the season starts. College players, coaches or other professionals usually teach in the camps. Many schools and colleges offer various sports camps during the summer and on the weekend during the school year. 

Your school or team will probably require a physical check before allowing you to participate. Because everyone needs to get checked at the beginning of the season, doctors tend to be busy those times of the year. Therefore, set up an appointment with the doctor earlier.     5    

A．Set realistic goals.

B．You can also consider a sports camp.

C．Just make sure that it’s very clean and safe to use.

D．It’s also normal to feel a little nervous about starting.

E．Making the team and getting in shape are great goals.

F．Start by writing an exercise plan if you don’t have one.

G．That can give the doctor plenty of time to fill out your paperwork.

9 . What makes sports fun?

What makes organized sports fun for kids? A group at George Washington University (GW), led by Professor Amanda J. Visek, has been studying this question. The research is important because lots of kids give up playing sports around age 13 or 14.

The reason kids quit?     1     So if the group can figure out what makes sports fun, maybe more kids will play longer and develop better lifelong exercise habits.

First, the group brainstormed 81 things called "fun determinants" that can make sports fun. Then they asked the players aged 8 to 18 to assess how important each thing was to their enjoyment of playing organized sports.     2     The players ranked(排名) “winning” as only the 40th most important fun determinant. Unexpectedly, they ranked "trying your best," "exercising and being active" and “getting along with your teammates" in the top 10 most important fun determinants.

    3     They also compared younger athletes with older athletes as well as recreational athletes and kids who play on travel teams. The recent study revealed (揭露) more surprises. Some people think girls like sports because they want to be with their friends, while boys like to compete.     4     It's true boys placed slightly more importance on "improving athletic skills to play at the next level," but for the most part, the study found male and female athletes’ answers were very close.     5     Although there were some differences between the groups -younger players, for example, like "playing different positions" more than older players-the groups shared lots of the same attitudes toward what makes sports fun.

A．The result was surprising

B．They say sports aren't fun anymore.

C．Boys and girls react differently toward sports.

D．Different groups have different opinions on fun determinants.

E．The group compared males' and females' attitudes on what makes sports fun.

F．The study, however, showed girls' and boys’ attitudes were more alike than different.

G．The same was true for younger and older players as well as recreational and travel athletes.
