1982, one of the first questions he asked was: "Will I still be able to ski?"
Soon, Milton, who grew up in a skiing family and had hit the hillside from the age of three, saw a video
of a one-legged skier that would change his life. After missing a winter of sport following his operation (手术),
the Australian young man gave it a try.
By 14, Milton was skiing in his first international competition (国际比赛), the 1988 Winter Olympic
Games at Innsbruck, Austria. Just four years on, he became Australia"s first gold medal (金牌) winner in France.
But trying to make a living from the sport he loved seemed to be a far more icy matter. For year, Milton
had to do his best to make ends meet, mending cars, working as a gardener and in ski shops. At one point he
was so poor that he needed to win a place in an American skiing competition to win enough money for the plane
ticket home.
But the skier who can hold his own in able-bodied speed-skiing events, thinks overcoming (克服) low
public expectations of what people with disabilities (残疾) can do is a greater obstacle (障碍) than being poor.
It"s a problem that he is meeting with all the time.
He says most people with disabilities don"t want to be treated differently than others. "It"s the environment
around you that helps you to try. My biggest goal is to raise (提高) the expectations of the public as to what
people with disabilities can do."
Milton has won 10 Olympic and 11 world championship (锦标赛) medals and in April last year became
the world"s first disabled person to ski at more than 200 km/h, reaching a surprising 210.4 km/h. His next goal
is the record of 212.26 km/h held by Australia"s fastest able-bodied skier, Nick Kirshner. He"ll then be the fastest
Australian skier ever.
B. When he was fourteen.
C. In 1992.
D. 8 years after his operation.

the cinema. During his lifetime, he acted in 13 films, and he wrote, directed (导) and acted in 69 other films.
Chaplin was born in London in 1889. When he was a poor boy, he was often seen waiting outside the
London theatres, hoping to get work in show business. He could sing and dance, and above all, he could make
people laugh. But he couldn"t get work, so he wandered (徘徊) about the city streets. Sometimes he was sent
away to a home for children who had no parents.
Charlie Chaplin first acted when he was five. He broke into show business because his mother, a music-
hall performer, lost her voice during the performance and had to leave the stage, and Charlie went on and sang
a well-known song. Halfway through the song a shower of money poured onto the stage. Charlie stopped
singing and told audiences he would pick the money first and then finish the song. The audiences laughed. This
was the first of millions of laughs in Charlie Chaplin"s comedy (喜剧) life.
Twenty years later the same Chaplin became the greatest and best loved comedian in the world. His dream
came true in the end. Chaplin became world-famous and almost a king in the world of the film.
Even people who don"t understand English can enjoy Chaplin"s films because they are mostly silent. The
machine for adding sound to films had not yet been developed. The development of films with sound became a
problem for Chaplin, as he was uncertain about making films with dialogues. Instead, he continued to make films
without dialogue, but he added music, which he wrote himself. It isn"t what he says that makes us laugh. His
comedy doesn"t depend on (依靠) words. It depends on little actions which mean the same thing to people all
over the world.
Chaplin"s later films, however, were not well received. Chaplin lived most of his life in America and the
last years in Switzerland, where he was buried (被埋葬) at Christmas 1977, at the age of eighty-eight. There
was sadness all over the world at the news of his death.
In his book, Chaplin tells us how to succeed in life. He says, "You have to believe in yourself. That"s the
secret."
B. It"s one of the parts in the process (过程) of something.
C. It"s the raised area in a theatre which actors or singers stand on when they perform.
D. It"s a place or an area of activity where something important happens.
experiments in an old wooden house. They knew that some elements (元素) in the world gave 2 a strange
power that could go 3 other objects. They found 4 of this power in some elements than in others. For
four years, they tried experiments to separate (分离) this powerful new element. Then they found something that
they 5 radium (镭).
The Curies were 6 the Noble Prize for their great discovery. They used the money for further
experiments on the uses of radium. They found it could be 7 in treating diseases.
Pierre died suddenly, but Marie continued their work and 8 many more important discoveries. In
1911, she received 9 Nobel Prize. It is the only time in history that two Nobel Prizes have been given to
the 10 person.

in Venice after a long journey. They talked about strange and beautiful lands in the East. They brought back
gold and jewels.
Shortly after, the Polo brothers asked him to take a trip with them to the East. So it was how Marco
Polo"s journey began. During three years of traveling to the Far East, he saw sights that were almost
unbelievable to a boy from Italy. He met people who had strange ways of living. Some spoke languages
that he did not even understand. At last they reached China. This was in the year 1275. The emperor made
a great feast in honour of (招待) the Polos and asked Marco to live in his court (庭院). Marco Polo learned
to read, write and speak new languages.
Once the emperor sent him to distant western and southern part of his empire. Marco Polo was given
many soldiers and servants for his journey.
Marco saw paper made by the Chinese. People in China had also discovered how to paint on paper, they
had many books and even used paper money! They burned little black rocks for heat.
After three years, he wrote a book about his travels, which most people in Europe did not believe. But
many years later the world knew that this man had discovered a great Eastern country.

they found her had been her home for many years. Her parents were unknown. They left her long ago. At the
orphanage, the girl, like all the children there, was taught to read and write. While she was studying at the
orphanage, she learned something else to be independent (独立). At twenty-one, she left the orphanage and
began to work as a secretary. And then, in 1975, while she was still working as an ordinary secretary,
something special happened. She entered the Miss Hong Kong Competition and won it. This was the turning
point in her life. Now her name, Mary Cheung, was known to everybody.
Mary entered the competition because she wanted to show that orphanage girls could be something.
Winning the competition gave her the chance to start a new life. This led her first into television and then into
business as a manager. When she was working as a manager, she had trouble with her reports. "My English
just wasn"t good enough," she says. Luckily, she had a boyfriend (who later became her husband) to help her.
Mary studied management (管理) at Hong Kong Polytechnic and graduated in 1980. She started her own
business in 1985. But she did not stop developing herself. She then studied at the University of Hong Kong.
Since 1987, she has spent a lot of time on photography (摄影). She has held several exhibitions (展览) of her
works in many places-China, New Zealand and Paris. She still found time, however, to work on TV, write for
newspapers and bring up her family.
