四、首字母填空
A man had a garden. He planted a rose and watered it c 1. Before the rose blossomed (盛开), he noticed many thorns (刺) around the bud (花蕾), and he thought, “H 2 can any beautiful flower come from a plant with so many sharp thorns?” Because of this i 3, he lost interest in this kind of plant, then he gave up watering the rose. And just b 4 it was ready to blossom, it died.
Good qualities are just like roses. There is a rose in e 5 spirit. The good qualities planted in us at birth, grow among the thorns—our weaknesses. Many of us look at o 6, and we only see our weaknesses. We lose heart, thinking that n 7 good can possibly come from us. We give up watering the roses in us, and slowly they die. We never realize the g 8 of being able to find out our good qualities.
Someone may not see the rose in himself/herself, so we need to help him/her d 9 the rose. With love, we can accept a person into our life, even though we know his/her true weaknesses. At the same time, we should e 10 him/her to face weaknesses bravely and correct them. Then he/she will blossom many times.

The 32nd Summer Olympics was held in Tokyo in 2021. After this global sporting event, we started thinking about sports that didn’t exist any more and sports that were maybe a little strange. Read the following ones that have ever been included in the past Olympic Games.
Live Pigeon Shooting (1900)
This bloody event was only held once, at the 1900 Paris Games. Nearly 300 birds were killed during the competition, leaving a crime scene of feathers and blood. This is the only event in Olympic history that involved killing live animals.
12 - Hour Bicycle Race (1896)
Seven riders got on their bikes at 5:00 a.m. and rode until 5:00 p.m. Four riders dropped out before noon, but the winner, Adolf Schmal of Austria, managed to ride about 180 miles. Only Schmal and one other finished.
Tug (猛拉) of War (1900—1920)
This may seem like a basic PE class sport more than an Olympic event, but Tug of War was actually one of the first sports played at the Olympic Games in 500 B.C.
There are two teams of eight; the winning team must pull the other team six feet forward.
Swimming Obstacle Race (1900)
The athletes had to climb over a pole (杆子) and a row of boats, and then swim under another row of boats. All of this was done in the Seine River, so they also had to fight against the water. This event was only ever held in 1900, in Paris.
