II. Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best answers the question about the passage:
 In sport, the sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races. Women are less strong than men. That at least is why people say. Women are called "the weaker sex", or if men want to please them, the "fair sex". But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists, and writers. And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women's bodies really weaker? The fastest men can run a mile in under minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women's times are always slower than men's, but some facts are surprised. Some of them swam 400 meters in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first "Tarzan" in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest 400 meters was 4 minutes 59.1 seconds, slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean.that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now, and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some athletes are given hormone injections. At the Olympics, a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems to say that sport has such problems. Life can be very completed when there are two separate sexes.

II. Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best fits the statements about the passage:
 Running as most of you already know, is a sport that appeals to all sorts of people-professionals, amateurs, housewives, businessmen, and so on. Running a marathon is also something that many long-distance runners have as an ultimate goal. Now if you decide you want to train for a marathon, how do you go about getting yourself into tiptop shape for the race of your life?
 Most marathon training schedules last around 20 weeks and are designed for runners who can run 4-5 days per week. 'The secret of a successful training schedule lies in avoiding injury that can occur through pushing yourself too fast or too hard. So, the idea is to increase your mileage gradually from 20 miles per week up to runs of 50 miles per week at some point before the actual marathon. Alternate hard days with easy days: an easy day could be a day off altogether or something like a three-mile run which, although it might not seem to be really worth the effort to some of you, actually is a joy to do.
 Be careful how you warm up and slow down, because these are the times when injuries could happen. When you set off for a run, take the first mile slowly and when you break into a sweat, stop and do some stretching exercises for a couple of minutes. Always take the last mile slowly too - if you stop suddenly after a hard run then those of you who might be prone to heart attacks are putting yourselves at greater risk at that point. One word of warning: don't start a training schedule without some professional guidance from a properly qualified trainer. He or she will be able to tell you what you are doing right or wrong! Remember that, under normal circumstances, health benefits from r.egular running are an increased sense of energy and well being, together with a high level of stress-busting fitness.
46. In order to train properly, you should............
 A. run every weekday without fail
 B. push yourself as hard as you can
 C. not have more than three days off a week
 D. run as often as you can
47. In the second paragraph, the writer says that.............
 A. it's not worth doing a three-mile run
 B. there should be more easy days than hard days
 C. the training period should last for three months
 D. a short run can be a pleasant experience
48. The most dangerous times are when you are...........
 A. starting and stopping 	B. building up speed
 C. running hard 	D. sweating a lot
49. If you run on a regular basis, you will..........
 A. avoid having heart attacks 	B. be able to win a marathon
