They are the world's fittest people. But even Olympic athletes have had their share of difficult, heart-breaking or embarrassing (令人难堪的) moments.
1904 Olympics, St Louis, USA
American Fred Lorz crossed the finish line of the Olympic marathon (马拉松赛跑) with a time of 3 hours and 13 minutes. He had beaten the second runner by 15 minutes. Lorz looked happy and fresh, and smiled for the photographers. Just before they gave him the gold medal, the race officials arrived and took away the medal, and Lorz was banned (禁止) from races for a year. Then an official told the truth. He had travelled by car for 11 miles of the marathon!
1908 Olympics, London, England
The Italian Dorando Pietri was one of the unluckiest marathon runners. When he arrived in the stadium, he was very tired. The people were cheering, but Pietri couldn't continue. He fell down and got up again four times. Finally, around seven metres from the finish line, he fell down again and didn't move. Worried officials ran over and picked him up. He crossed the finish line and won the gold medal. But a few hours later the Olympic officials had to take it away from him again. They said he couldn't be the winner because Olympic officials had helped him cross the line.
2000 Olympics, Sydney, Australia
Eric Moussambani of Equatorial Guinea became one of the most loved athletes of the 2000 games. His race was the 100-metre freestyle swim. He jumped into the pool and started swimming. After the first 50 metres he was very tired. He went more and more slowly and almost stopped in the middle of the pool. The officials worried that he was drowning (淹死). But Moussambani continued and finished the race with a time of 1 minute and 52 seconds, the slowest in the history of the Olympics. Still, Moussambani was happy. He had never swum in a pool of that size before.
21. Why was Lorz's gold medal taken away at the 1904 Olympics?
A. Because he broke the rules.
B. Because officials made a mistake.

France has the most beautiful castles throughout Europe. Here are some of the best French castles to visit. You'll surely want to visit one of them during your travels in France. Have a look and enjoy!
Château de Versailles
The Château de Versailles is about 20 kms southwest of Paris. When the castle was built, Versailles was a small village. Today, however, it is a famous area in Paris. The castle was built as a small hunting lodge (乡间小屋) for Louis XIII in the 1620s. Years later, he made it bigger. Later, Louis XIV also made it larger, making it one of the largest palaces of the world.
Château de Chambord
The Château de Chambord is one of the largest castles around the world. It sits in the Loire Valley. Being at the heart of Europe's largest enclosed wooded park, Chambord, it was built for King Francis I to serve as a hunting lodge. It is one of the world's most well-known castles in the world because of its French Renaissance (文艺复兴) building.
Château de Chenonceau
As one of the most famous castles in the Loire Valley, the castle was built during the 11th century on the River Cher. It was passed through many hands. The castle was not destroyed during the French Revolution because it was the only bridge across the river for many miles.
Château de Chantilly
This historic castle sits in the town of Chantilly, France. This beautiful castle is made up of two buildings: the Petit Château built around 1560 for Anne de Montmorency, and the Grand Château which was destroyed during the French Revolution and rebuilt in the 1870s. There are many interesting pieces of 17th century history concerning the castle. Every two years a fireworks competition is held in the castle gardens.

I recently traveled with my family to Itacare, Brazil. Itacare is a small town in the state of Bahia, which is known for its beautiful beaches. While there, I met a man named Alvimar Valadares. He walks more than 12 miles a day without wearing shoes, looking for sea turtles on the beaches and picking up plastic.
There are few sea turtles left alive now in Brazil and around the world. Valadares, who prefers to be called “Capixaba,” wants to help save them. A local hotel sponsors (赞助) his work.
Several years ago, the hotel manager noticed a group of people watching in respectful silence as Capixaba saved three baby sea turtles. The hotel manager realized that these turtles were great ambassadors (大使). They draw people's attention and make them want to learn about and protect the local environment.
Capixaba has worked in the hotel's Tartaruga Program for the past 15 years. (Tartaruga means turtle in Portuguese.)
In addition to watching and checking sea turtles, Capixaba meets with local schoolchildren and fishermen to teach them how to protect the turtles and the environment. The more that people know, Capixaba said, the more they can help protect the turtles and the environment. For example, since sea turtle hatchlings (幼崽) follow the reflection (反射) of the water to get to the ocean, it's important for local houses and hotels to keep their lights dim (暗淡的) at night. That way, the hatchlings will know which way to go.
“I really like to work with and teach kids,” Capixaba said. “They're the ones who are going to change this and help the turtles.” Then he let me hold one of the turtle eggs!
29. Why does Valadares walk along the coast?
A. To stop tourists catching sea turtles. B. To record sea turtles' population.
C. To raise sea turtles for a hotel. D. To help save sea turtles.
30. What did the hotel manager think of sea turtles?
A. They needed to be protected. B. They could bring Bahia business.
C. They attracted visitors to the hotel. D. They helped people learn about Brazil.
31. What’s the purpose of the example in Paragraph 5?.
A. To show what sea turtles do at night.
B. To show how serious light pollution is.
C. To show when sea turtle hatchlings get to the ocean..
D. To show why it is important to help people learn the knowledge of sea turtles.
D
On December 24, 1971, 17-year-old Juliane Köepcke got on a plane with her mother in Lima, Peru, to fly to another city to meet her father.
Over the Amazon jungle (丛林), the rain fell heavily and there was a strong wind. And then lightning hit the plane at 3,000 metres, and it crashed (坠毁). Juliane fell
quickly through the air in her seat and hit the trees hard. For three hours, she was senseless. When she woke up, her right arm was cut, her shoulder hurt badly and she couldn't see out of one eye. She was alone. But she was alive!
Juliane's father was a biologist (生物学家) and when she was small, he taught her how to survive in the jungle. She found a small river and walked slowly along it. “If I follow the river,” she thought, “I'll find people.” The river also gave her clean water to drink. It was very hot, but the river water kept her cool. Sometimes she had to swim in the river because it was too deep to walk in. There was fruit on some trees but she didn't eat it — she knew it was too dangerous. Juliane walked for ten days. Ten days after the crash, she found a small house by the river. There were some woodcutters in the house. They cleaned her cuts carefully and the next day, they carried her down the river, and a plane took her safely back to the city of Pucallpa.
Juliane was the only person who survived the plane crash. The other 91 people, including her mother, all died.
The film director, Werner Herzog, had a ticket to travel on the plane but missed it. Thirty years later, he made a film called Wings of Hope about Juliane and her incredible story.
32. What did Juliane find when she came to sense?
A. She was in Lima. B. She was in the river.
C. She was badly hurt. D. She was unable to move.
33. What did Juliane do to survive in the jungle?
A. She lived on fruit. B. She drunk river water.
C. She avoided deep water. D. She cleaned her cuts carefully.
34. What does the underlined word “incredible” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Boring. B. Funny. C. Heartbreaking. D. Unbelievable.
35. Which of the following words can best describe Juliane?
A. Brave and lucky. B. Active and lovely.
C. Smart and creative. D. Caring and careful.

write it down before you arrive. It will be interesting to compare these predictions to what you have actually experienced.

Add pictures to your journal. 39 . Combining pictures with your first-hand accounts of what they represent, or what happened when they were taken, will make for(有助于)a better travel journal.
