When I injured my back I had to take a break from my running career. I decided to introduce more women to the sport, to show them how much fun it can be and to give them the confidence to get out and run. I decided to start a running club for women in my area because I was annoyed by the attitude of many race organizers. They complain about the lack of women in the sport but also use this as an excuse for not providing separate changing facilities.
I put up posters and 40 women, young and old, fit and unfit, joined. All of them were attracted by the idea of losing weight but I don’t think they had really thought about running before.
When or if they did, they had a picture of painful training. They didn’t think of chatting and smiling while running in beautiful places, like by a river.
At first they ran for only a minute - now they can run for thirty minutes. They’ve also learned from other runners about diet and keeping fit in general. I want to do something for women’s running and I have had so much pleasure watching their progress – almost as much as they’ve had themselves.

53. What is the writer’s opinion of the runners she trained?
A. They were too serious 	B. They needed encouraging
C. They couldn’t develop their skills 	D. They were difficult to train
54. Why did the women join the running club?
A. to have a good time 	B. to meet other people
C. to help them lose weight 	D. to become top runners
55. Which of the following would be the best title for the club poster?
A. Discover the Pleasures of Running 	B. Riverside Running Club for Women
C. Athletics Competition: How to Win 	D. Keep Fit by Training Hard

C or D. Write your answer (A, B, C or D) on the answer sheet. (0.5pt)
As far back as 700 B.C., man has talked about children being cared for by wolves. Romulus and
Remus, the legendary twin founders of Rome, were purported to have been cared for by wolves. It is believed that when a she - wolf loses her litter, she seeks a human child to take its place.
This seemingly preposterous idea did not become credible until the late nineteenth century when a French doctor actually found a naked ten - year - old boy wandering in the woods. He did not walk erect, could not speak intelligibly, nor could he relate to people. He only growled and stared at them. Finally the doctor won the boy’s confidence and began to work with him. After many long years of devoted and patient instruction, the doctor was able to get the boy to clothe and feed himself, recognize and utter a certain number of words, as well as write letters and form words.

A. having no clothes on him 	B. carrying some woods

A. the boy was highly intelligent 	B. the boy trusted him
C. the boy liked to dress up 	D. the boy was dedicated and patient
59. Which of the following statements is not true?
A. She - wolves have been said to substitute human children for their lost litters
B. Examples of wolves’ caring for human children can be found only in the nineteenth century
