It wasn’t my chocolate he’d been taking. There was mine, 55 , just under my?newspaper.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Jobless people just held an Unemployment Olympics(失业运动会) in New York. About 60 people took part in the first-ever games in a park. Most of the Olympians have college and graduate degrees and they didn’t expect to be out of work. They are aged from 23 to 61. They have been unemployed for an average of four months and most of them showed up alone, “Who am I going to bring?” asked Erika Gracia, an out-of-work lawyer. “My friends still have jobs.” Though the event is not encouraging, things at the Unemployment Olympics are generally cheerful. The prizes are mostly the gift certificates(礼券) to local restaurants and bars. Goddard tried to get free medical insurance as prizes but was unable to do so.

The Unemployment Olympians laughed, but they were not really happy. They had moved into small apartments with friends and asked their parents for help. Three people said that they had cut back on the amount they spent on goods and had already lost weight. Some were thinking about leaving the city altogether. They are tired and bored, but on this last afternoon in March they were making light of their situation.

26-year-old Nick Goddard is the organizer of the Unemployment Olympics. He said, “The Unemployment Olympics is trying to put a smile on everyone’s face, and I think it worked out very well today.” Shira Miller, who recently lost her job, said, “It seems like a fun event. I know that most people who have jobs don’t realize, but the biggest problem is, you don’t have anything to do. So it is really a nice try from the usual.”

The unemployment rate in America is now about 8 percent, the highest since late 1983.

56. Those who took part in the Unemployment Olympics are mainly _______.

A. people without good education B. people who lost their jobs

C. white
