In sports the sexes are separate. (36) and men do not run or swim in the same races. Women are less strong than men. That (37) is (38) people say. Women are (39) "the weaker sex", or if men want to please them, "the fair sex". But boys and girls are taught (40) schools and universities. There are women (41) are famous prime ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men. (42) European woman can expect (43) until the age of 74; a man only until he is 68. Are women’s bodies really weaker The fastest men can run a mile in (44) 4 minutes. The best women need 5 minutes. Women’s times are al- ways slower than (45) , but some facts are a surprise. Some of the (46) women swimmers today are girls. One of them swam 400 metres (47) 4 minutes and 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first "Tartan" in films (48) an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest 400 meters was 4 minutes and 59. 1 seconds, (49) is 37.9 seconds (50) than a girl 50 years (51) ! This does not mean that women are catching men (52) . Conditions are very different now, and sport is much (53) serious. It is (54) serious that some women are given hormone injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check (55) the women are really women or not. It seems like that sport has many problems. Life can be very complicated when there are more than two separate sexes.

Egyptian wine has an extensive history within the history of Egyptian civilization. Grapes were not (1) to the landscape of Egypt, rather the vines themselves are (2) to have been imported from the Phoenicians, (3) the actual origins remain in (4) . What is known, is that (5) the third millennium BC, Egyptian kings of the first (6) had extensive wine cellars, and wine was used extensively in the temple ceremonies. The main (7) of wine in Egypt. took place between the king, nobles, and the priests in temple ceremonies, and is (8) by numerous painted relief’ s, and other (9) evidence. The vineyards of ancient Egypt, were quite different from the modern methods of wine making today. (10) viticulture (or wine making) ,ceased to (11) an exclusively ceremonial purpose, the Egyptians began to experiment with simple structures for their vines to train on, (12) found a way to train their vines so they were easy low (13) bushes, and found ways for the soil to (14) more moisture for the vines. Egyptian wine making experiments included the use of different wine presses, adding heat to the must (the grape juice ready for fermentation) (15) make the wine sweet, and differences in vat types and materials. The (16) finished product of wine, was poured through a cloth filter, and then into earthenware jars, (17) they would be sealed with natural tar and left to (18) . The Egyptians kept accurate records of their vintages, and (19) of their wines, each jar of wine was clearly (20) with it’s own vintage, and quality.

Since the end of World War II, international trade has developed dramatically. All countries in the modern world join in worldwide trade, through which various sorts of merchandise and (51) materials arc exported in (52) for foreign currency, which means income wealth from (53) and job opportunity at home, and in the meantime, foreign goods are imported to provide consumers with (54) and welcome merchandise. Today, economic interdependence among countries is so (55) that no country can close its doors to the outside world, and the more prosperous the national economy, the more developed the foreign trade. Economic globalization is now a (56) in the world.

But in the past when old and new colonialism ruled the world there was no free and fair trade at all. Powers, (57) the British empire, the United States, Russia, Japan, divided the world into their spheres of influence—their colonies or dependencies, where their businessmen (58) their merchandise at high prices and bought (59) raw materials and labor at low prices. (60) of wealth flowed to these powers which then grew prosperous, (61) the colonies were driven into destitution (贫困). The national economy of colonies was innately defective. Their industries could not survive the overwhelming (62) of imports from the powers. Their monotonous national economy (63) in production of one or two agricultural crops or (64) products or minerals, to be sold in international market, for example, orange and sugarcane in Cuba, banana and coffee in South-America, coal in Poland, all (65) to supply-demand relation in world market under control of the powers. Even their customs were governed by officials from the powers, whose exported goods thus could enter the colonies nearly duty-free. It was after the collapse of colonialist system all over the world that free and fair international trade, at least theoretically, could be possible.
