There are special conditions they have to meet in order to compete: body weight, height and strength.The Olympic weightlifting mainly tests the limit of explosive strength (爆发力). There are not many lifters who really like Olympic weightlifting and the explanation is very simple: they are short of explosive strength.The weights used for Olympic weightlifting are added in kilograms. The order by which the athletes enter the competition is not general, but it is set depending on the event. Usually the athlete with the lowest weight begins. If he / she is not successful, he / she can try later. There is a maximum of three lifts allowed for every competition.For many years Olympic weightlifting was only for men. However, now women also take part in Olympic weightlifting. It was at the beginning of the 21st century that womens competitions entered an organized professional environment. For women, Olympic weightlifting is more difficult because of their different body structure. However, strength training techniques (技术) are widely and successfully used by women, too.Lots of the athletes whove ended up in Olympic weightlifting competitions have started with strength training only to improve their muscle condition and their body power. However, the demarcation line (界线) is not still very clear between power training and Olympicweightlifting. This is how so many lifters have got into Olympic weightlifting competition, even if their purpose was different at the beginning.52.

Do you like yellow, orange, red? 56 . Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist(悲观主义者).

If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.58 . A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. 59 . A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides（自杀）than any other bridge in the area -until it was repainted green . The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.60 .
