The Olympic Games have a long history. In 776 BC, ancient Greece(古希腊) held the first ancient Olympics. But what the winners received at that time was not medals like today. The winners got olive wreaths(橄榄枝花环).
There weren’t medals until the first modern Olympic Games started in Athens, Greece, in 1896. But at that time there were no gold medals. The winners only got silver(银的) medals; the second place winners got bronze(铜的)medals. And it’s a pity that the third one got nothing.
But things changed in the next Summer Olympics in 1900. Most winners didn’t get
medals, but cups or works of art. Only a few winners got medals and their shapes were rectangles. In the 1904 Summer Olympics, the first, second and third place winners got gold, silver and bronze medals respectively (分别地).
Usually Olympic gold medals aren’t solid gold. But they mean much more than gold. So all players dream of getting them.

These girls are from a village( 乡 村 ) school. Most girls at their age go to different clubs to dance, draw, play the piano or learn English, but they run on the playground to play football just like boys. Ma Lingqiao is one of them.
Ma Lingqiao is a “left-behind” child in a village in Chongqing. Her parents work in other places, and she lives with her grandparents. Each day after school, she first practices football for two hours. Then she goes home to cook dinner and wash clothes before doing homework. Ma Lingqiao is very busy, but she works hard with other girls in the club. For them, football is not just about having fun. It’s a chance to change their life.
Ma’s school is in a poor place and the students can’t get good education( 教 育 ) there. The head
teacher heard that some schools in big cities needed young football players, so he set up a girls’ football team in 2013. He said, “I just wanted these children to go out of the mountains and into better schools by playing football.”
Thanks to him, there was a new football playground in the school later. Because there’s no football teachers in the school, the students sometimes have to improve( 提 高 ) themselves by watching game videos.
Over the past few years, the team won games. Some of the girls went to good schools in Chongqing because of their football skills. The girls’ love for football really helps them make a difference.

A schoolgirl didn’t want to speak or eat for a week. She kept worrying about her grades on the exam. “I can’t stop thinking about my place in the class,” she said. “I feel stressed out(有压力的).” The girl is not the only one who faces stress. According to a recent survey from Wuhan University, 70% of the 2000 students about to take the college and high school entrance exams(入学考试) feel under pressure(压力).
Actually, stress isn’t always bad. Sometimes, people’s stress is important during emergency situations, such as when a driver has to stop his car to avoid an accident. Sometimes, stress can help people do their best--like while getting ready before a big competition or exam.
However, too much stress is bad for people’s health. People with too much stress may have problems remembering things and they are quick to get angry. They may even have other problems like sleeping problems, headaches and often getting colds.
Reading a good book, enjoying music and eating delicious food are all good ways to reduce(减少)
pressure. But for middle school students, the most helpful way is to ask parents or friends for help. Don’t be too shy to tell others that you are having a hard time. Sometimes just sharing your problems with someone else can make you feel better.
( ) 61. The problem the schoolgirl had is that
she had a bad grade B. she couldn't speak or eat

( ) 62. According to the survey, the number of the students under pressure because of the entrance exam is.
A.70 B.600 C. 1400 D. 2000
( ) 63. Which of the following is TRUE

( ) 64. People with too much stress may
A. not sleep at night B. get angry easily

Sports are important and they are always around us. People do sports for different reasons(原因).
66 Some hope to have fun. And some do sports for money. In many countries, players can make lots of dollars every year. But why are sports so important They’re only games, right
67 In 2006, Chinese soccer team was able to play in the 2006 World Cup for the first time. Everyone was happy. Rich and poor, old and young, men and women—everyone got together in the streets! We danced, sang and shouted. 68
