Nearing the age of 101 has not slowed down one Japanese woman．In fact，in the swimming pool—she is only getting faster．

Recently，a 100-year-old Japanese woman became the world’s first centenarian to complete a 1，500-meter freestyle swimming competition in a 25-meter poo1．

Her name is Mieko Nagaoka．Ms．Nagaoka set a world record for her age group at a recent Japan Masters Swimming Association event in the western city of Matsuyama．She swam the race in 1hour，15 minutes and 54 seconds．

By comparison，the overall female world record holder completed the same distance in just under 15 and a half minutes．But that swimmer，Katie Ledecky，is only 17 years old．And Ms．Nagao．ka was not competing against her．In fact，Ms．Nagaoka was the only competitor in the 100-104 year old category．Her race was not a race of speed but of endurance，or not giving up．

Breaking swimming records is nothing new to Ms．Nagaoka．So far she has broken 25 records．But she began competing when she was much younger—at 88.

Ms．Nagaoka sufferred a knee injury in her 80s，so she began swimming to help her body recover．Since her first international swimming competition，she hasn’t looked back，except maybe to see if her competition is catching up．

In 2002．at a masters swim meet in New Zealand，Ms．Nagaoka took the bronze medal in the 50-meter backstroke．In 2004，she won three silver medals at an Italian swim meet.

Masters swimming is a special class of competitive swimming to promote health and friendship among participants．Swimmers compete within age groups of five years.

Japan has a large number of people who live beyond 100 years old．Until she passed away this month，the oldest person in the world was also from Japan．Misao Okawa was born in 1 898．She said her secrets for longevity，or long life，were good genes，regular sleep，sushi and exercise.

1.The underlined word“centenarian”refers to someone who is____．

A．from Japan

B．100 or older

C．an old competitor

D.a new swimmer

2.Which is possibly the age category of the masters swimming competition?

A．82 to 87 years old．

B．93 to 97 years old.

C．95 to 99 years old．

D．106 to 110 years old.

3.It can be inferred from the passage that_____．

A．some people are born with longevity genes

B．people who like swimming live longer

C．the Japanese are interested in swimming

D．woman usually live much longer than men

4.Which can best explain the spirit of Ms．Nagaoka?

A．Not to advance is to go back．

B．After a storm comes a calm.

C．The early bird catches the worm．

D．Keep on going，never give up.

According to figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS)，the U．K．has about 7．7 million families with dependent children，of which 3．7 million have just one child，compared to 3 million with two and 1．1 million with three children or more．The number of families today with just one dependent child is now 47 percent and will likely rise to more than 50 percent in a decade．As the ONS confirms，“It appears that families are getting smaller．”

One obvious reason for this could be that women are putting off having children until they have established careers when they are bound to be less fertile．But it could just as well be a matter of choice．Parents must consider the rising cost of living，combined with economic uncertainty and an increasingly difficult job market．And this trend may continue growing as having an only child becomes more normal，which seems to be the mood on the mothers’ online forum Mumsnet，where one member announced that she “just wanted to start a positive thread about how fab it is to have an only child”．

She had received 231 replies，overwhelmingly in the same upbeat spirit．Parents of only children insist there are plenty of benefits．Nicola Kelly，a writer and lecturer who grew up as an only child and is now a married mother of one，says her 15 year old son seems more grown up in many ways than his contemporaries．

Not all products of single child families are as keen to repeat the experience．In a moving recent account journalist Janice Turner wrote about her own keenness to “squeeze out two sons just 22 months apart”as a reaction to her only child upbringing．

She was placed on a pedestal by her doting parents，whom she punished with a “brattish，wilful” rejection of everything they stood for．Desperate for a close friend she was repeatedly shattered by rejection and refers to her childhood as being “misery”．

Writer and clinician Dr．Dorothy Rowe，a member of the British Psychological Society，says that we all interpret events in our own individual way and there are some children who no matter what their circumstances feel slighted，while other children see the advantages of their situation．

However，the one part of life that is unlikely to get any easier for only children is when they grow up and find themselves looking after their own parents as they become older．

1.The passage is written with the purpose of ________．

A． illustrating the strength and weakness of having an only child

B． analyzing the reasons why having an only child becomes popular

C． presenting us with different opinions about having an only child

D． guiding people to look at the same issue from different perspectives

2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean？

A． Nearly half of families intend to have just one child．

B． All people don’t stand for the idea of having an only child．

C． Some people fail to recognize the advantage of having an only child．

D． People brought up in an only child family resist downsizing the family．

3.From what Dr．Dorothy Rowe said，we know that ________．

A． journalist Janice Turner experienced a miserable childhood

B． she has a positive attitude towards Janice Turner’s reaction

C． it’s necessary for us to look at the event from our own angle

D． some are unable to make an objective assessment of their conditions

4.What can be inferred from the passage？

A． It’s normal to see the imperfection in character in only children．

B． Mumsnet is an online forum which promotes having an only child．

C． Economic development plays a determining role in the family size．

D． Only children will have difficulty in attending to their parents．
