Last week well over a thousand people (1) took place in/took part in our local round-the-city 10-kilometre fun run. This
kind of race doesn't normally (2) appeal to me/amuse me, as, frankly, I'm not really (3) cut out for/right for long distance
running. But I've got two friends who are dead keen runners and who keep going on about the (4) beneficial/positive
effects of running. So I decided to run, partly for that reason and partly to (5) earn/raise money for charity. Friends and
colleagues agreed to (6) sponsor/support me, and pay for each mile I completed. Well, I hadn't done much training for the
big event, and after two kilometres I was (7) gasping/panting for breath, so I settled down to a slow jog and resigned
myself to plodding along with the (8) strugglers/stragglers at the back of the race. At least I finished, and was very
pleased with myself, as I didn’t need to stop. I timed myself with a stop-watch, and reckon I (9) crossed/arrived at the
finishing line in 43 minutes - not bad for a novice. The heat proved too much for a few people who'd gone off too fast for
their capabilities and ended up (10) suffering from/showing exhaustion. Apparently, the course was very fast, and both of
my friends ran a (11) personal best/personal record. The winner (12) surpassed/broke the course record. I was actually
very impressed with the whole event; the organisation was first-class, with medical volunteers (13) on duty/on standby
throughout, and drinks (14) stops/stations every few kilometres of the route. So now the charity of my choice is £150 the
richer, and as for me, I'm well and truly bitten by the running bug. I go running with my friends regularly now, and I'm
actually starting to (15) catch up with/get near to them!
5. Read the text and decide which answer (А, В, C or D) best completes each collocation or fixed phrase.
Very few popular' (1) …...... sports today remain amateur in any sense of the word. In the past, even in cases where
payment to players or athletes was forbidden, many sports tolerated what became known as 'shamateurism', and even the
sports governing (2) …...... turned a blind eye to such (3) …...... as the paying of 'expenses'. More recently, sport has
become, in effect, a (4) …...... of the entertainment industry, and the elite (5) …...... in sports such as swimming, tennis,
football and track athletics can expect to become very rich. This worries some people, who complain that the old Olympic
ideal has been lost, but the fact is, sport has become more and more professional in the wider sense, not only requiring
total dedication from (6) …...... champions, but also expensive facilities, training and nutritional advice.
1) A audience В watching C spectator D viewing
2) A associations В confederations C authorities D bodies
3) A practices В occurrences C acts D operations
4) A branch В division C wing D limb
