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.
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
Which of the following is not mentioned as the place where the Olympic
Games for the disabled were held?

b. Sir Ludwig Guttmann was an injured soldier.
c. Sir Ludwig Guttmann was from Germany.

a. the Olympic Games for the disabled are always held at the same time and in the same place as the normal Olympic Games.
b. The disabled athletes are able to compete in the normal Olympic Games.
c. the writer is in favour of holding the games for the disabled
