21、Run at the Olympics
Can only professional (专业的) athletes take part in high-level sport events? Now amateur (业余的) runners may also have the chance to run at the Olympics.
The Chinese Athletic Association (CAA) said that they would allow two amateur runners — one man and one woman — to take part in the marathon race at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, reported China Daily.
Amateurs are people who have never been in provincial (省的) and national teams, Du Zhaocai of the CAA told China Daily. The whole distance (距离) of a marathon is about 42.195 km. For the amateurs, the man needs to finish it within 2 hours 19 minutes and the woman within 2 hours 45 minutes. That’s almost as fast as professional runners.
Long-distance running is becoming popular in China. In 2017, 328 marathons were held across the country. More than 2.8 million runners took part in them.
“We’d love to see more and more Chinese people running marathons. Allowing amateurs to join the Olympics might encourage more to play sports,” Du told Sohu news. But this is not the only example of China trying to combine (结合) high-level sport events with ordinary (普通的) people.
China’s 13th National Games was held in Tianjin from Aug. 27 to Sept. 8, 2017. During it thousands of ordinary people competed with professional athletes. They took part in 126 games in 9 sports, such as badminton and ping-pong, reported Xinhua.

22、When Jane and Billy were little, they got along well. The fights didn’t start until they were both 10 years old.
“Mom, Billy won’t give my book back!”
“It’s not yours. It’s mine!”
And so it went. Our peaceful house had turned into a war zone (战区). But we found a solution.
We talked to the kids and discussed what would happen if they argued again. We came up with a list of “punishments (惩罚)” that we would give them if they fought. But they weren’t really punishments — just nice things that we would ask them to do for each other. For example, if Jane started a fight, we would ask her to clean Billy’s room. If Billy started a fight, we would ask him to give Jane a hug.
We wrote these “punishments” on a circular board (圆形板子) with an arrow in the middle. If one of them started a fight, he/she would have to spin (转动) the board and receive the “punishment”.
This “punishment wheel” worked wonders (取得惊人成效). Soon the kids stopped arguing so often. We didn’t have to really punish them — we just had to teach them to be nice to each other.

A.Quiet.

【3】Why did the author use quotation marks (引号) for the word “punishments”?
A.She wanted to show the importance of the word.
B.She wanted to show that the “punishments” were not real punishments.
C.She wanted the readers to guess the meaning of the word.
D.She was not sure if the word is correct.
【4】With the “punishments”, the author wanted to teach the kids that ________.
A.fighting was not a game
