Olympic and Paralympic medals for the Tokyo 2020 Games will be made from recycled mobile phones donated by the public.

Olympic host cities have     1     (tradition) obtained the metal from mining firms. But Japan,     2     lacks its own mineral resources, is keen on taking the theme of a sustainable future a step     3     (far).

“A project which allows the people of Japan     4     (participate) in creating the medals is really good, and helps raise the environmental awareness of our citizens,” said Tokyo 2020 sports     5     (direct) Koji Murofushi. “    6     the resources of our earth are limited, we need to recycle more and avoid waste. This program is setting an example.”

Collection boxes have been placed in local offices and telecom stores and they will remain there until the metal required     7     (collect).

Members of the organizing committee put forward the idea to government officials and companies earlier this year and won their support.

As a result, the medals hanging around Olympic winners’ necks will carry even more meaning     8     usual. People’s personal memories, once     9     (store) in their smart phones and other handheld devices, will take the round shape of an Olympic medal, one of the most precious     10     (prize) in sport.

4 . Chess is one of the oldest board games in the world. A version of the game was first played in India in the sixth century. Throughout time, the game has been played by kings, knights, and generals who warned to prove their military skills and practice war strategies.

Today，the game is played by millions of ordinary people as well. Most play for fun,but there are players who compete seriously and have gone on to gain the rank of grandmaster -the highest rank a player can achieve.

In 1991, when Hungarian Judit Polgar achieve the rank of grandmaster, it caused quite an uproar (骚动）. First of all, Polgar is a female playing in a sport traditionally dominated by men. Also, Polgar was only 15 years old, making her the youngest in history at the time. In 1993, she defeated former world champion Boris Spassky in Budapest, Hungary. In 1998, she became the first woman in history to win the U. S, Open Chess Championship, which was held in Kailua-Kona，Hawaii.

Like her two older sisters, Polgar was strictly trained to be a master chess player as a young girl. She was homeschooled in all her subjects and played chess several hours every day. At the age of five, she was beating her father at the game. At eight years old，she was competing internationally. At the age of nine，she competed in and won the New York Open Chess tournament，placing first among unranked players. The young Polgar was just getting started.

Known for her fiercely competitive nature and ability to understand her opponents strategy early in a game, Polgar quickly won the respect of both fans and fellow chess players. Despite her achievements and clear talent, she often had trouble getting into top competitive situations because many of them didn’t include women. Polgar wanted to compete with the best一to be a world champion and not just a female champion. For this reason, she absolutely refused to play in women-only competitions. Her refusal paved the way for the next generation of female chess players.

5 . When you’re on a journey to improve health and fitness，surely following the exercise and nutrition advice of a hot model is the way to go, right? Wrong!     1     The first step to longterm fitness success is to be honest with yourself.

♦     2    

Begin to become aware of the language you use. When you say you don't have enough time to exercise, check in with yourself to make sure you're being honest. Could you be using your time better? Do you really have absolutely no free time at all?

♦Too tired to exercise?

Unless you’re a professional athlete it’s unlikely that your body is ever too tired to train. However, it could be neurological (神经的）tiredness that’s talking you out of it.     3    You need to battle this type of tiredness head on. The secret is to give your brain a break and let your body have a workout. When you’re feeling mentally tired，walking can help you absorb the fresh air and feel grounded yet disconnected from all the pressures.

♦Routine or no routine?

So regular walking is good. But is fixing a regular exercise routine necessary too? The trick is to find out what works best for you. If routine makes you feel balanced, then by all accounts create a workout plan.     4    

♦Set goals.

Be honest with yourself and realistic about where you are and where you expect to be. If you're just starting out, set short-term goals (every few days) so you can experience success sooner and more often.     5     All too often people quit too quickly when the journey is too long.

6 . 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

For those who have never tried it, scuba diving (水肺潜水) has the reputation for being     1     extreme sport, but this couldn’t be     2    (far) from the truth. Scuba diving, with all the deep breathing     3    goes with it, is almost like underwater yoga (瑜伽). It offers people a chance to forget about trouble and focus on the here and now, thus     4    (provide) a sense of calmness that is hard to find on land.

While scuba diving, you won’t be looking at your phone. Nor will you have to make a mental effort     5     (get) away from the real world because physically, you already have! The underwater scenery provides the perfect place to calm your mind with     6     (peace) surroundings to admire.

Yoga lays stress on the control of breathing in and out, as breathing     7     (consider) the fundamental connection     8     body and mind. The number one rule of scuba diving is to breathe     9     (constant) and never hold your breath. A diver who is relaxed in body, breath, and mind becomes one with the water. It’s the supreme form of     10     (relax) when all you can hear is bubbles and the sound of your own breathing.

7 . Ice hockey’s beginning is a little uncertain. It has been tracked back to an Irish game known as hurley by some experts. Others consider ice hockey as having come from lacrosse and field games that were played by Micmac Indians. Still others say that hockey evolved in Northern Europe. At any rate, it is quite likely that ice hockey came into being from different early games played with a stick and a ball.   

In the 1850s, the first recorded games of ice hockey were played, and in the 1870s, the first set of ice hockey rules were written by a group of students at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. These rules set up the use of a puck (冰球) replacing a ball and decided the number of players to be nine per team. The year 1880 brought the organization of the first amateur hockey league. Over the next several years, ice hockey’s popularity spread across Canada. It was around 1893 that ice hockey was first played in the United States. There have been several ice hockey leagues. The best known is the National Hockey League, which came into being in 1917 in Canada.

Ice hockey has the oldest sports trophy(奖杯）in North America. It had become so widespread in Canada that a trophy was presented by the Governor General of Canada to be awarded to the top hockey team. Lord Stanley of Preston was the name of the Governor General, and the trophy became Known as the Stanley Cup.

Not many changes have been made to the initial rules set forth in the 1870s. The main ones have been the decrease from nine players to six and the progression of new and better equipment. In 1910-11, the game changed from two 30-minute periods to three 20-minute periods. In 1943-44, the red line at center ice was introduced to speed up the game. In 2005-06, goalkeeper equipment was downsized.
