0) ____F______
I started when I was eight. My mother was a teacher, so she wanted to start an athletics club for girls in my school,
and I took up running as well.
1) ____________
No! I was awful when I started! But thanks to my parents, I didn’t give up.
2) ____________
My parents, definitely. They were both teachers, so they taught me discipline, and were always there to support me.
3) ____________
Since I had been such a terrible runner as a kid, always finishing behind the others, I felt happy when I became
faster. I loved that I wasn’t coming in last! So, I guess my motivation was to stay at the front, because I knew too
well what it was like coming in last.
4) ____________
Fantastic. From that first January back home, and then for nine months, I was on the cover of national magazines
every week: Time, Newsweek.
5) ____________
Before the race, I went over my race technique. While I was actually running, I only focused on what was happening
around me, but I couldn’t let that affect my race. I had to run my own race.
6) ____________
Yes, Sydney was the first Olympics that I attended as a spectator, and then Athens. In Athens, though, I didn’t
watch much athletics because I wanted to see other sports like table tennis, and men’s volleyball.
7) ____________
It was the best of all the Olympics I’ve been to. The location was perfect, the people were relaxed and fun, the food
was great, and the atmosphere was the best of all the games I’ve attended.
8) ____________
Determination, being focused, and being able to get along with people. Even in running, which is considered an
individual sport, it’s important to get along with others because you have to like and respect your coach - that’s key.
9) ____________
Never give up. If I can make it, anyone can. I was a horrible runner, I nearly gave up, but because of my mom I
continued to run. You can be whatever you want to be.

Skippy the Hamster
A few months ago I visited my friends Philip and Rina. When I arrived at their house, though, I realised I was not
visiting just them. (0) ___C___
Skippy is a Syrian Hamster. (37) ______ They are covered with beautiful golden-brown hair, with a large white "belt"
from chest to waist.
When Rina and Philip bought Skippy from the pet shop, they thought it was a male hamster. But some weeks later,
they came home to find Skippy with seven babies in the cage. (38) _____ Thank goodness they had not given her a
boy's name.
Seven babies seem to be quite a lot, but it is very important for hamsters to have a large number of babies.
(39) ______ Therefore, if they did not have a lot of little ones, hamsters as a group would soon die out. This is true
of other small creatures as well, like mice and rabbits.
I first had a look at Skippy's little ones a week or so after they were born. (40) _____ They really didn't do much
other than eat from their mother's breast. A week later, however, the little hamsters had some hair, even though
there was still a lot of pink skin to be seen. By the time they were about four weeks old, they were completely
covered in fur (other than their nose, tail, and paws). (41) ______
Rina and Philip gave six of the babies away to friends, but they kept one, a boy named Niko, for themselves.
(42) ______ I love watching them run on their treadmills, stuff food into the pouches of their cheeks, or stand on
their hind legs in an attempt to get out of their cages. Studying and caring for hamsters can teach us a great deal
about biology, responsibility and, of course, cuteness.
37.
A) And they were nearly as big as their mom. E) Hamsters generally live only for two to two and a
half years. 38.
B) I like visiting Skippy and Niko very much. F) She plays a lot in her cage. 39.
C) They had a third party living with them, a hamster G) Also known as Golden Hamsters, these types of 40.
called Skippy. hamsters are small and furry. 41.
D) They were tiny, blind (eyes shut) and hairless. H) They discovered that it was actually a girl.
