Reading Practice - Wilma's Story

Wilma's Story At the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome, Italy, Wilma Rudolph won three gold medals in one day. No other American woman ever had. She became an international heroine. Her story of heroism began in her childhood. Wilma had polio, once a common disease. Young Wilma could not run and play. She wore braces on her legs until she was nine. Doctors said that she would never walk.However, those doctors did not know Wilma's attitude and her will. Her spirit could not be defeated by the disease. Her spirit said, "I will." Wilma was determined to win. She learned to walk, then to run, and then almost to fly.She overcame many obstacles on her way into history books. She went to school with other children. She graduated from Tennessee State University. At TSU she became an athlete—a runner, a member of the university track team. The discipline of her youth served her well.Her great victory came in Rome. As a member of the U.S. team, first Wilma won the 100-meter gold medal—in 11.0 seconds. After that victory, she won again in the 200-meter race, in 24.0 seconds. But Wilma was not finished. She tied two world records. Then she ran in the 400-meter relay race with Martha Hudson, Lucinda Williams, and Barbara Jones —teammates at TSU. The relay team won the race in 44.5 seconds. Wilma proudly received her third gold medal. On that day she took her place not only among the world's black athletes, but also among all great athletes in history.Wilma Rudolph overcame many challenges, but one obstacle she could not overcome—cancer. She died of brain cancer in 1994. At the memorial service, Ollan Cassel, executive director of the USA Track and Field Committee, said: "Wilma was an Olympic symbol. She was the greatest: Wilma equaled Jesse Owens. She was for women what Jesse was for men."Bob Kersee, coach of Olympic gold-medalist Jackie Joyner-Kersee, also praised Wilma: "Few people understand Wilma's influence on black female athletes.

Reading Practice - Anger of the Sun

Anger of the SunA hundred years ago, sun-tanned skin was not fashionable. Tanned skin usually meant that a person worked in the sun. Farmers, construction workers, and cowhands all had tans. More educated people had inside jobs, so their skin did not get darker. In fact, many people tried to protect their skin from the sun so that people would think that they were educated. People wore hats with large brims, and women carried beautifully embroidered parasols to keep away the rays of the sun.Later in the twentieth century, tanned skin became much more fashionable. Young people everywhere sat in the sun for hours—turning from side to side—to get a perfect tan. A tan was now fashionable: only wealthy people could spend a lot of free time in the sun! Not only had fashion changed, but many people also believed that sunshine was good for them.Actually, the sun's rays are necessary for good health. Vitamin D, which is essential to good health, comes mainly from the sun and is easily absorbed through the skin. However, too much sun causes wrinkles, premature aging of the skin, and even skin cancer. Too many ultraviolet rays from the sun will burn the skin. More serious damage from these rays causes wrinkled and discolored skin.The sun's rays can also cause changes in the cells of the skin. Arizona and other sunny places like Queensland, Australia, have many cases of cancer. In skin cancer, some skin cells are not normal. They grow out of control. So people today shield their skin from the sun. Doctors recommend easy ways to protect the skin:1. Stay out of the sun's rays between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. This: is the time of day when the sun's rays are the most dangerous.2. Use a sunscreen—a protective lotion. The sunscreen should have an SPF (sun protective factor) of at least 15. 3. Wear appropriate clothing. Wide-brimmed hats, long-sleeved shirts, and long pants or skirts will protect skin from the sun. Fashion today is back to where it was 100 years ago. People are using sun hats and parasols.Now answer the questions as quickly as you can.
