In the 1980s the symbolic figure crystallized by the media was the"yuppie." The term was an acronym for the young, upwardly mobileprofessional man or woman. What distinguished the yuppies was that,rather than rebelling against the system, they preferred to exploit5 it for personal advantage.Newsweek magazine hailed 1984 as the "Year of the Yuppie" and devoteda special report to the yuppie phenomenon, which tended to describeyuppies as a collection of lively oddities. We are told that yuppies,10 male and female, are interested not only in their economic but alsoin their physical well-being. They spend a good many hours exercising;at the same time, they find food, especially exotic food, more importantthan do most Americans. They make their dining, to use a slang expression,a "class act." The same holds true for the way they dress, and how15 they conduct themselves. The success of their efforts to climb boththe business and social ladder can be advanced or retarded by thescarf around their neck or the cut of their hair.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions below :
FUTURE CHAMPIONS
Experiments have proved that children can be instructed in swimming at a very early age. At a special swimming pool in Los Angeles, children become expert at holding their breath under water even before they can walk. Babies of two months old do not appear to be reluctant to enter the water. It is not long before they are so accustomed to swimming that they can pick up weights from the floor of the pool. A game that is very popular with these young swimmers is the underwater tricycle race. Tricycles are lined up on the floor of the pool seven feet under water. The children compete against each other to reach the other end of the pool. Many pedal their tricycles but most of them prefer to push or drag them. Some children can cover the whole length of the pool without coming up for breath even once. Whether they will ever become future Olympic champions, only time will tell. Meanwhile, they should encourage those among us who cannot swim five yards before they are gasping for air.
