V READING COMPREHENSION
Read the passage and choose the best answer
1 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 complained about the lack of women in the sport but also
used 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 1 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 only for 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

Trang 52 After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich
man However, he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late Nobel

two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to
people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind Originally there
were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine, and peace

ceremony
