C. A new kind of athlete
D. New equipment has made a difference
E. Athletes and what they eat
F. Personalized programs will help
G. The influence of drugs
H. Is there a limit to record-breaking?

[0: ___H __]

A world record is every athlete’s dream, but the hard-won records of a few years
ago are mostly just today’s qualifying times. Roger Bannister’s famous four-
minute mile of 1956 has been beaten by nearly 15 seconds, while almost an hour
and twenty minutes has been taken off the women’s marathon since 1953.
‘Faster, higher, stronger’ is the Olympic motto, and today’s competitors continue
to push back the boundaries of what the body can achieve. But one wonders if
this can continue.
[1: ______ ]
The last forty years have seen many important technological advances. For
example, since the introduction of strong, flexible fiberglass poles, over a meter
has been added to the pole vault record. There have also been important
developments in the design the running shoe. And while a shoe won’t actually
make someone run faster, modern shoes do mean many more miles of
comfortable, injury-free training.
[2: ______ ]
Pushing back the limits now depends more on science, technology and medicine
than anything else. Athletic technique, training programs and diets are all being
studied to find ways of taking a few more seconds off or adding a few more cm to
that elusive world record. It seems that natural ability and hard work are no
longer enough.
[3: ______ ]
The search to find more efficient ways of moving goes on. Analysis of an athlete’s
style is particularly useful for events like jumping and throwing. Studies show
that long jumpers need to concentrate not on the speed of approach, as once
thought, but on the angle their bodies make with the ground as they take off.
However, the rules governing each sport limit advances achieved by new styles.
For instance, only one-footed takeoffs are allowed in the high jump.
[4: ______ ]
In the future, it should be possible to develop a more individual approach to
training programs. Athletes will keep detailed diaries and collect data to help
predict the point when training becomes overtraining, the cause of many injuries.
If athletes fee all the information into a database, it may then be possible to
predict patterns and to advise them individually when they should cut down.
[5: ______ ]
Combining the right diet with a training program is vital. Athletes are continually
searching for that special ‘go-faster’ ingredient, but apparently, it’s still a battle
to get them to drink sufficient liquid and to follow a balanced healthy diet
throughout all phases of training, competition and recovery. Diet in the period

4
after an event is particularly important and often neglected. An athlete who
doesn’t replace all the liquid lost immediately after a hard run won’t be able to
repeat the performance at the same level 24 hours later.

Part 3. Read the passage below and choose the correct answer A, B, C
or D for the following questions. (5 pts)
During the teenage years, many young people can at times be difficult to
talk to. They often seem to dislike being questioned. They may seem unwilling to
talk about their work in school. This is a normal development at this age, though
it can be very hard for parents to understand. It is part of becoming independent
of teenagers trying to be adult while they are still growing up. Young people are
usually more willing to talk if they believe that questions are asked out of real
interest and not because people are trying to check up on them.
Parents should do their best to talk to their sons and daughters about school
work and future plant but should not push them to talk if they don't want to.
Parents should also watch for the danger signs: some young people in trying to
be adult may experiment with sex, drugs, alcohol, or smoking. Parents need to
watch for any signs of unusual behaviour which may be connected with these
and get help if necessary.
