“If you want to see something well, reach out and touch it!”

That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better.

Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is.

When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it.

With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pockets. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.

You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music.

All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we often have to touch things before we buy them.

The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a hard floor. All feel different under your feet.

There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin.

Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their sings say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show.

On the wall in my mother’s bedroom there was a photo, which showed a soldier with a gun. Below the photo was the word “Speaking”.

“Who’s that soldier called Speaking?” I asked one day.

“He was Harold.” She said. “He was my only brother. When the Second World War began, Harold was eighteen. I was twelve then, and my sisters were ten and nine”.

“Harold liked to play with us, and we often quarreled. When we quarreled, we said：We’re not speaking to you. But before long we were all happy again, and then we said: I’m speaking now. Are you speaking to me?”

“When the war broke out, Harold joined the army. A month later, he came to see us. He brought the gun to show us. Then he went miles away to the war. We didn’t see him for three years, three long, empty years. We didn’t often hear from him. But one day in May there was a loud bang(砰)on the front door…”

“I ran to open it. It was Harold! He was an old Harold, a thinner Harold. He looked at me with his two green eyes and smiled. That smile was just the same as before, then he said one word: ‘speaking’”.

“I didn’t…I couldn’t…answer. I just fell into his arms and he dropped his gun. He stayed with us for a month. We played all our old games again. Then he went back to the war, and never came back again. So I wrote the word on the photo.”

Sport is full of wonderful moments, but maybe nothing is as exciting as the marathon, which is the longest, hardest race of all. The name comes from a small village in Greece, where a famous battle happened in 490 B.C. When the Greeks won, a soldier ran over 40 kilometres from Marathon to Athens to tell people the good news. When the modern Olympic Games were held in 1896, the organizers knew the story. The marathon has been a race since then.

The Olympic Games are held every four years. The best players in the world, or at least the best “amateurs”, are collected in one place. An amateur is someone who does not earn money from sport. It is often difficult to say who is an amateur and who is not. It is true that Olympic athletes do not earn large amounts of money like professional sportsmen. But Olympic athletes are often students or teachers of a sport. They have to spend much time training. Their governments pay for their training travel and pocket money, because they want them to win. Some people think this changes the Olympics. They feel that the Games are now a political marathon.

67. How long has the marathon been a race in the Olympics?

A. For over 100 years.    B. For less than 100 years.

C. For half a century.               D. For thousands of years.

68. The professional players are those who        .

A. pay money for training     B. earn money from sports

C. are the same as the amateurs    D. work for the government

69. Who often take part in the Games as Olympic athletes?

A. All the amateurs of a sport.     B. Students or teachers of a sport.

C. Every professional sportsman.       D. The winners of the Olympics.

70. Why do the governments pay the Olympic athletes?

A. The athletes are training hard.        B. It is the governments’ duty.

C. The athletes are wanted to win.       D. The athletes don’t earn money from sports.
