Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian
Territory( 印第安人保护区) that is now Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt,swim, and play games outdoors. (76) He was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal edu-cation. In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.
Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also dead. Jim then went to a special school in
Pennsylvania for Native A-merican children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor,so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. (77)The team paid him only $15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his educa-tion. Jim was a star athlete( 运动员)in several sports, including baseball, running, and football.
He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team.
In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U. S. Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and field events, including the long jump and the1,500-meter race. The decathlon has ten track and field events, with running, jumping, and thro-wing contests.
People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the de-cathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said, \He just answered, \

It can be really frustrating(使人沮丧的) for an overweight person to go to a gym and work out with a positive attitude. All one has to do is walk by almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy,sweating, \those of us who are, well, zaftig. It is easy to see the judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up with that?
Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and fee] isolated when joining workout classes or while exercising, especially if they are larger than most of the others in the group. Now the fitness in-dustry is finally paying attention. Popular gyms are catering(迎合) to overweight and weight con-scious customers by dedicating areas where the \
There are even gyms or programs that require members to be at least 50 pounds overweight to participate.
Trainers recommend functional fitness as a practical goal, rather than six-pack abs(六块腹肌) .
(78) They often use text messages to stay in touch with customers.
Often at these specialized gyms, the trainers are overweight themselves, or working on their own weight goals, and this can help those people with anxiety caused by poor body image. The equipment has been designed for use by larger people. Wider seats, more cushioning, no mirrors, and tinted (有色的)windows for privacy, are all important changes.
(79) Hopefully these types of gyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future. The idea is a very simple and potentially popular one. If it helps those of us who are bigger exercise more and im-prove our fitness level, it's a step in the right direction.

Since its founding in 1948, McDonald's has grown from a family burger(汉堡包) stand to a global fast-food chain, with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries. With 58 million daily customers worldwide, McDonald's is now so ubiquitous around the globe that The Economist publishes a global ranking of currencies'
purchasing power based on the prices charged at the local McDonald's, called the Big Mac Index (巨无霸指数). That's not to say that every nation carries the same menu items: choices vary widely depending on location. Some Asian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonald's in India doesn't serve beef at all, relying instead on burgers made from vegetables, rice and beans.
Not everyone in the world has been happy to greet Ronald McDonald when he moves to town.
Many see McDonald's as a symbol of American economic and cultural
chauvinism (沙文主义),and European nations in particular have viewed American-syle fast food as an insult to their national food. A French farmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999 after he and a group of people destroyed a
McDonald's under construction to protest globalization and \a bomb exploded in a French McDonald's, killing a 27-year-old employee.
(80) No one claimed responsibility.
But regardless of whether you like their food or their policies, McDonald's is still widely seen as one of the true pioneers of peaceful globalization.

第12题 The word ubiquitous in Paragraph 2 is most likely to mean__________. A.very crowded B.very clean C.existing everywhere D.occurring frequently
答案：C
第13题 From Paragraph 2, we can conclude that__________.
A.McDonald's designs its menu to suit the local people B.millions of young adults got their first job with McDonald's
C.the McDonald's menu sticks to old-fashioned favorites such as the Big Mac D.the low prices of McDonald's bring tens of millions of people through its doors every day
答案：A
