VI. Read the passage
carefully, then choose the correct answer.
60
years ago the idea of disabled people doing sports was heard of. But when the
annual games for the disabled were started at Stoke Mandeville, England in 1948
by Sit Ludwid Guttmann, the situation began to change.
Sir
Ludwig Guttmann, who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi Germany, had
been asked by British Government to set up an, injury center at Stoke
Mandeville near London. His ideas about treating injuries included sport for
the disabled.
In
the first games just two teams of injured soldiers took part. The next year,
1949, five teams took part. From those beginnings, things have developed fast.
Teams now come from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year. In 1960 the first
Olympics for the disabled were held in Rome, in the same place as the normal
Olympic Games. Now every four I years the Olympic Games for the disabled are
held, if possible, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games, although they
are organized separately. In other years Games for the Disabled are still held
at Stoke Mandeville. In 1984 wheelchair Olympic Games, 1064 wheelchair athletes
from about 40 countries took part. Unfortunately, they were held at Stoke
Mandeville and not in Los Angeles, along with the other Olympics.
The
Games, have been a great success in promoting international friendship and
understanding, and proving that being disabled does not mean you can't enjoy
sport. One small source of disappointment for those who organize and take part
in the games, however, has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic
Committee to include disabled events at the Olympic Games for the able-bodied.
Perhaps a few more years are still needed to convince those fortunate enough
not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athletes should not be excluded.
41.
How
long was the first games for the disabled held after Sir Ludwig Guttmann
arrived in London? A. 9 years B. 10 years C. 19 years D.
21 years

of the following is not mentioned as the place where the Olympic Games for the
disabled
