The (31) spirit of the Asian Games has been built up over a long period of time,

and (32) passed from one games to the next spreading message of (33) unity,
warmth, and friendship through (34) competitive sports. The warmth of the Asian
Games comes not only from symbolic
(35) flame, but from the (36) relationships that are established among individual
(37) athletes, coaches, trainers, officials, volunteers, and spectators who come
together from many different
(38) backgrounds and cultures. It is an (39) occasion when strength and sports
skills are tested; friendship and (40) solidarity are built and promoted.
VI. Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer.
60 years ago the idea of disabled people doing sports was heard of. But when the
annual games for the disabled were started at Stoke Mandeville, England in 1948 by
Sit Ludwid Guttmann, the situation began to change.
Sir Ludwig Guttmann, who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi
Germany, had been asked by British Government to set up an, injury center at Stoke
Mandeville near London. His ideas about treating injuries included sport for the
disabled.
In the first games just two teams of injured soldiers took part. The next year, 1949,
five teams took part. From those beginnings, things have developed fast. Teams now
come from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year. In 1960 the first Olympics for the
disabled were held in Rome, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games. Now
every four I years the Olympic Games for the disabled are held, if possible, in the same
place as the normal Olympic Games, although they are organized separately. In other
years Games for the Disabled are still held at Stoke Mandeville. In 1984 wheelchair
Olympic Games, 1064 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries took part.
Unfortunately, they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles, along with
the other Olympics.
The Games, have been a great success in promoting international friendship and
understanding, and proving that being disabled does not mean you can't enjoy sport.
One small source of disappointment for those who organize and take part in the
games, however, has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic Committee

to include disabled events at the Olympic Games for the able-bodied. Perhaps a few

more years are still needed to convince those fortunate enough not to be disabled
that their disabled fellow athletes should not be excluded.
41. How long was the first games for the disabled held after Sir Ludwig Guttmann
arrived in London? A. 9 years
B. 10 years
C. 19 years D. 21
years

the disabled were held? A. England

Mandeville
