4 . A fresh and gentle wind on your face, soft sand under your feet and blue waters as far as the eye can see. Is there any other Olympic sport that is played in such pleasant conditions as beach volleyball?
“I’ve gone to a lot of beautiful places, and met a lot of beautiful people. That wouldn’t have happened if I had been playing another sport.” said Randy Stoklos, America’s most famous beach volleyball player.
The sport began as a four-a-side game on beaches in Southern California in the 1920s. The first recorded two-man game took place there in 1930, and the first tournament (锦标赛) was held in Los Angeles 18 years later. The winners were awarded a case of Pepsi. In the 1950s, women started playing and the sport soon spread to Europe and South America. Yet at that time, beach volleyball was more an entertainment show than a sport, with beauty contests included. The Association of Volleyball Professionals was founded in 1983 and beach volleyball developed into a fast, athletic sport. Its world-wide popularity won beach volleyball a place at the 1996 Olympics in Atalanta, where 24 male teams and 16 female teams took part. At present, the US and Brazil are the best in the world at beach volleyball.
The game came to China in the early 1990s and there have been national tournaments since 1994. It became an official event at the Eighth National Games in 1997. China’s You Wenhui and Wang Lu finished ninth in the women’s beach volleyball world championships in Brazil.

5 . Marathon Courses in the US
·AlA Marathon
Where:Fort Lauderdale, Florida
When:February 18
Why run it:If you want a fast course but don’t like downhill running, the flat and scenic A1A Marathon might be the one for you. You’ll feel the ocean breezes (微风) and see the maple trees as you run along one of the most famous roads in America. The race also features plenty of on-course entertainment, a beach-themed finisher medal, and a post-race beach party with food, drink and live music.
·Pocono Mountain Run for the Red Marathon
Where:Pocono Mountains, Pennsylvania
When:May 20
Why run it:The course begins at roughly 1,946 feet above sea level-the highest point on the 26.2-mile route. From there, it’s smooth sailing down the mountain, where you’ll finish at a height of 400 feet. The marathon is held every May when trees and flowers are starting to bloom, making this course scenic.
·Newport Marathon
Where:Newport, Oregon
When:June 2
Why run it:The Newport Marathon starts at about 60 feet above sea level and has few gently rolling hills through a nice neighborhood. The steepest hill you’ll come across is 40 feet at Mile 4. The flat marathon route hugs the Yaquina Bay for much of the race, providing you with amazing views of the water. Make sure you sign up for it early—the Newport Marathon limits the number of entries in an effort to keep the race more fun.
·Bank of America Chicago Marathon
Where:Chicago, Illinois
When:October 7
Why run it:The Chicago Marathon is a flat, fast marathon, so it’s a great one to do if you’ve never run a marathon.

You’ll see all that is great about the city of Chicago while being supported by tons of screaming fans.

The route continues along the south side of the River Thames and circles around Rotherhithe before joining the Little Half runners and travelling through Deptford towards the finish line at Cutty Sark.

10 . 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.
