Derek Redmond
It was the Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992; the semi-final of the 400 metres.
The sun was shining and the crowd were ready for a great race. The British athlete
Derek Redmond was a top runner: he had a very good chance of winning a medal.
The race began. At first, Derek was running well. Then, after about 150 metres,
he felt a pain in his leg. He fell down on one knee. He had a bad injury and couldn’t
carry on. The other runners went past him and finished the race.
After about five seconds, Derek got up and started to run again, on one leg only.
Some organizers tried to stop him but he kept going. The crowd stood up and started
to clap. Then another man came onto the track—Derek’s father, Jim. His father put
his arm around him and said, “Derek, you don’t have to do this.” Derek replied,
“Yes, I do. I have to finish.” And so together they walked the last 50 metres and
crossed the line.
When he finally crossed the line, Derek was crying and 60,000 people were
cheering him.
Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner
In the summer of 2010, mountaineer Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner was almost at the top
of a mountain called K2 in Nepal. She was trying to climb the 8,61l-metre mountain
for the fifth time and this time she was climbing with her friend Fredrik Ericsson,
It was about 7 o’clock in the morning and it was snowing a little. The two
climbers were getting ready to go up the last 400 metres. Fredrik was trying to tie
some rope but he slipped and fell past Gerlinde. He fell 1,000 metres and was killed.
___▲ K2 was now a very sad place for her, and she thought perhaps she would
never climb the mountain.
But there was something very important that she wanted to do: K2 is one of 14
mountains in the world that are 8,000 metes or higher, and her dream was to climb
them all.
So in August 2011 she went back to Nepal and K2, and tried again. This time,
she got to the top. Her dream was complete.
34. What information is mentioned in the first story?
A. The time Derek spent on the race.
B. The person who crossed the line with Derek.
C. The speed Derek ran for the first 150 meters.
D. The names of the runners who went past Derek.
35. Which of the following can be put in ________.

B. Gerlinde went on climbing
C. Gerlinde tied some rope to the rocks
D. Gerlinde wanted to try again

A. They both came from Britain.
B. They both failed the 400-metre race.
C. They both had the dream to climb high mountains.
D. They were both brave people who didn’t give up.
37. What does the writer mainly want to tell us?

Tips for being a super-organized student
Posted 2 hours ago by Amy
I have always admired students who hand in their homework on time and never forget
to do it. Me, on the other hand…OK, I admit. I’m terrible at getting myself
organized!
So I was wondering, what are your tips for getting organized? Post your tips
below. Thanks! Comments

Recently I’ve started keeping a small study diary. I write down
everything I need to do and when it needs to be done by. Then I write a reminder
a few days before the date just in case. It’s helping.
Amy: Thanks, Gloria! I agree.
Nick: 25 May, 2021-08:33
The most important thing is to start studying a few weeks before the exams
and not leave it until the night before! That’s just common sense, I think.
Amy: Nice tip. Thanks, Nick.
