I/. Read the passage and choose the best answer A, B, C or D for each question. (5ms)(From 1 To
5)
If when you hear the words 'international athlete', you imagine a runner in an exotic location, enjoying
life in a five-star hotel, think again. I won the Dublin Marathon and the European Games and I now want
to win a place in the Olympic Games. I also have a demanding job and a family life to organize. My life
is exciting, but I don't live in luxury.
My route to the top was not what you might expect. I ran until I was sixteen, then went to college and got
married. At 25 I made a come-back. That year my daughter was four and although fitting in a full-time
job, family and running was not easy, I was managing it all fine. Then I had to stop when I hurt my left
knee while running. I started back again a year later, and I'm now running really well.
I am pleased that I am now performing at a high level, but I know that if I make it to the Olympic team
there will be more training to do. I may have to decide to work only part-time then, until midday, and get
somebody to help with the housework. You have to take an opportunity to compete in the Olympics when
it comes because you don't know if it will ever come again.
For the moment, though, training has to fit around everything else in my life. I usually run into work,
nearly eight miles along a main road, in my running shoes and tracksuit. Then I quickly change into my
work uniform - my employers are used to that! They also understand about the demands of life as an
athlete, which means I do not work weekends because of races.'
