Recently it has drawn huge crowds attracted by athletes swimming 1,500m, cycling 40km, and then running 10km, without stopping. But what makes an attractive 17-year-old give up everything for the doubtful pleasures it offers? Melanie Sears has not yet learnt those often-repeated phrases about personal satisfaction, mental challenge and higher targets that most athletes use when asked similar questions. “You swim for1,500m, then run out of the water and jump on your bike, still wet. Of course, then you freeze. When the 40km cycle ride is over, you have to run 10km, which is a long way when youre feeling exhausted. But its great fun, and all worth it in the end,” she says.Melanie entered her first triathlon at 14 and she won the junior section. Full of confidence, she entered the National Championships, and although she had the second fastest swim and the fastest run, she came nowhere. “I was following this man and suddenly we came to the sea. We realized then that we had gone wrong. I ended up cycling 20 kilometers too far. I cried all the way through the running.”But she didnt give up. “Sometimes I wish I could stop, because then the pain would be over, but I am afraid that if I let myself stop just once, I would be tempted to do it again.” Such doggedness draws admiration from Steve Trew, the sports director of coaching.Melanie was top junior in this years European Triathlon Championships, finishing 13th.“I was almost as good as the top three in swimming and running, but much slower in cycling. Thats why Im working very hard at it.” She is trying to talk her longsuffering parents, who will carry the 1,300 cost of her trip to New Zealand for this years world championships, into buying a 2,000 bike, so she can try 25km and 100km races later this year.But there is another price to pay. “I dont have a social life,” she says. “After two hours hard swimming on Friday night, I just want to go to sleep. But I phone and write to the other girls in the team.” What does she talk about? Boys? Clothes? “No, what sort of times they are achieving.”61. How does Melanie differ from other athletes, according to the writer?A. She worries less than they do.B. She expresses herself differently.C. Her family background is not like theirs.D. Her aims are different from theirs.62.What upset Melanie during the National Championships?A. She was tricked by another competitor.B. She realized she couldnt cycle as fast as she thought.C. She felt she had let her team-mates down.D. She made a mistake during part of the race.63. What does the underlined word “doggedness” in Paragraph 4 means? A. Melanie knows her own limits B. Melanie likes to please her coach C. Melanie feels less pain than most people D. Melanie continues regardless of difficulties64. What is Melanie trying to persuade her parents to do?A. Buy an expensive bike for her.B. Give her half the cost of a bike.C. Pay for her to go to New Zealand.D. Let her compete in longer races.65. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Melanies Dull Social Life B. Melanies Personal Achievements C. The Pain and Suffering Caused by the Triathlon D. The Triathlons Great AttractionD “The words oceans are slowly getting more acidic.” Say scientists. The researchers from California report that the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The lowering of the waters PH value is not great at the moment but could cause a serious threat to current ocean life if it continues, they warn. Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett, from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, report their concerns in the journal Nature. Increasing use of oil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air, and most of it will eventually be absorbed by seawater. Once in the water, it reacts to form carbonic acid. Scientists believe that the oceans have already become s
