Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct

answer to each of the questions.

Nowadays gymnastics are very popular in China and some other Asian countries. Modern gymnastics

began there in the nineteenth century. In 1811, an outdoor gymnastics centre for men was open in Berlin where

they could do bodybuilding and exercises on a high bar and other pieces of equipment.

Dance is an important part of training as it prepares you for the types of movement required in gymnastics.

One of the aims is to make the body stronger for jumps and turns. In competitions, women perform the

exercises with music so dance, gymnastics and music are connected.

To become a top gymnast, it is important to start when very young, that is, when you are still in your

kindergarten with simple exercises. Boys developed physically later than girls so Olympic gymnastics medals

are usually won by men between the ages of nineteen and twenty-five while girl champions are fourteen or

fifteen years old.
