[00:05.38]Lesson 33            1 Dialogue
[00:10.84]Sharon is a gymnast.She is at the doctor's.
[00:16.12]DOCTOR:Good morning.What can I do for you?
[00:21.08]SHARON:There's something wrong with my left shoulder.
[00:25.52]I hurt it while I was doing gym.I've got a pain here too.
[00:31.87]DOCTOR:Let me take a look at your shoulder.Where does it hurt?
[00:37.15]SHARON:Here and here.And I can only move my arm as much as this.
[00:44.51]DOCTOR:Mmm,I see.It feels a bit tense.What happened exactly?
[00:56.87]SHARON:I was doing some exercises on the high-and-low bars.
[01:02.51]When I landed,I fell forward and hurt myself.
[01:07.97]Someone was standing too close
[01:11.92]and I knocked into him and fell over onto my shoulder.
[01:16.67]DOCTR:It's nothing serious.I think you've been very fortunate.
[01:22.02]Have you ever used the hotcloth -and-froxen-peas treatment?
[01:27.38]SHARON:Frozen peas?No!
[01:31.64]DOCTOR:It's quite simple.
[01:34.59]You put a very hot,wet cloth on your shoulder for one minute.
[01:40.55]Then put a packet of frozen peas on the shoulder for one minute.
[01:46.00]And so on and so on.
[01:49.53]SHARON:What does that do?
[01:52.69]DOCTOR:The change between hot and cold temperatures
[01:57.73]makes the blood move around the shoulder
[02:01.99]and the damaged parts begin to repair themselves.
[02:06.75]SHARON:That sounds very interesting!
[02:10.40]I'll buy some frozen peas at the supermarket on my way home
[02:16.05]DOCTOR:Use this treatment twice a day for a week.
[02:20.30]And another thing,at the end of the week,throw the frozen peas away.
[02:26.36]They won't be fit to eat.
[02:29.92]Lesson 34
[02:38.69]2 Reading comprehension
[02:43.06]GYMNASTICS
[02:46.50]The words"gymnastics"and"gym"come from the Greek language,
[02:52.67]for it was in Greece that Olympic competitions started.
[02:58.31]There are also records of gymnastics being performed in China
[03:04.19]and some other Asian countries.Modern gymnastics began in the nineteenth century
[03:12.05]In 1811 an outdoor gymnastics centre for men was opened in Berlin
[03:19.99]where they could do body-building
[03:23.47]and exercises on a high bar and other pieces of equipnent.
[03:29.53]At the same time,gymnastics,without equipment,
[03:35.38]was developed in Sweden as a keep-fit programme for schools.
[03:42.04]Dance is an important part of training
[03:47.00]as it prepares you for the types of movements required in gymnastics.
[03:53.85]One of the aims is to make the body stronger for jumps and turns
[04:00.20]and for movements of balance.It also helps your body bend forwards,
[04:07.28]backwards and sideways,and improves the way you hold your body.
[04:13.65]In competitions women perform some of their exercises to music,
[04:20.18]so dance,gymnastics and music are all connected.
[04:27.55]To become a top gymnast,it is important to start when very young.
[04:34.31]In fact,most gymnasts start with simple exercises
[04:40.97]while they are still at kindergarten.
[04:45.02]Girls are already performing in competitions by the age of ten,
[04:50.95]and Olympic medals are often won by fourteen-or fifteen-year-old girls.
[04:58.53]Boys develop physically later than girls and so Olympic gymnastics medals
[05:06.57]are usually won by men between the ages of nineteen and twenty-five.
[05:13.23]Some pieces of equipment,for example the rings,
[05:19.01]require great physical strength
[05:23.16]and boys need to develop their bodies fully before attempting such difficult exercises.
[05:30.61]In competitions,gymnasts have to perform on different pieces of equipment.
[05:38.26]All gymnasts perform on the floor and jump over a "horse"with four legs.
[05:45.03]Gymnasts have to show that they can move neatly and eadily,
[05:50.38]hold a position steady,keep their balance while doing a handstand,
[05:57.33]and jump both forwards and backwards.
[06:02.50]Only men perform on the rings,on the double bars,on the high bar,
