VI. Read the following passage, then answer questions 46-50. Choose the correct answer
by writing down its corresponding letter A,B,C or D on your answer paper.
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 them themselves.
46.
What is the writer’s main idea in writing the text?
A. to describe her own running career. B. to complain about race organizers.
C. to talk about women runners. D. to describe good running method.
47.
What would a reader find out from the text?
A. the best kind of places for running B. how runners can avoid injuring themselves.
C. the teaching skills of the writer. D. the progress made by the women in the club.
48.
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.

49.
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.
50.
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 Training Hard.
