The great Australian swimmer, Annette Kellerman, student at the University of Wisconsin,
planted the first seed of what was to become synchronized swimming when she performed a water
ballet in a glass tank in New York in 1907.
Katherine Curtis, an American woman, was very inspired by the water sport. So she tried to get
synchronized swimming added to the physical education programme for female students. In 1923
she founded a water ballet club at the University of Chicago and sixty swimmers of the club
attracted national and international publicity.
The sport quickly became popular among young women in Chicago. Curtis developed the
competition rules, based essentially on the scoring methods used in gymnastics and diving.
The first recorded competition was held on May 27,1939, between Chicago Teacher’s College
coached by Curtis and Wright Junior college.
Shortly afterwards, the Central Association of the Amatur Athletes Union (AAU) staged the first
multi-team competition on March 1, 1940. A year later, the AAU officially accepted synchronized
swimming as a competitive sport for team events. In 1946 the first formal national championships
were conducted by the AAU.
Synchronized swimming became an Olympic event at the Los Angeles Games in 1984 and it has
been one of the “ American’s favorite sports”, and many fans contend that there is no greater thrill
than watching a beautiful girl perform water ballet skillfully in a series of actions.

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 from 43 to 50.
Who talks more – men or women? Most people believe that women talk more. However, linguist
Deborah Tannen, who has the studied the communication style of men and women, says that this is
a stereotype. According to Tannen, women are more verbal – talk more – in private situations,
where they use conversation as the “glue” to hold relationship together. But, she says, men talk
more in public situations, where they use conversation to exchange information and gain status.
Tannen points out that we can see these difference even in children. Little girls often play with one
‘best friend’ and their play includes a lot of conversation. Little boys often play games in groups,
their play usually involves more doing than talking. In school, girls are often better at verbal skills,
while boys are often better at mathematics.
A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this difference.
Researchers studied conversation between children aged 3-6 and their parents. They found evidence
that parents talk very differently to their sons than they do to their daughters. The startling
conclusion was that parents use more language with their girls. Specifically, when parents talk with
their daughters, they use more descriptive language and more details. There is also far more talk
about emotions, especially with daughters than with sons.
