Jackie Joyner-Kersee is considered one of the greatest female athletes
of all time. She competed in four different Olympic Games and won
six medals. As of 2014, she still holds the world record for the
women's heptathlon, which is an event made up of seven track and
field sports. She also holds the American record for the women's long
jump.
As a child, Jackie was athletically talented and worked hard to become
the best even though she had asthma. When she was 14, she saw the
Olympics on television and it became her dream to compete in the
Olympics herself.
In 1984, Jackie traveled to the Summer Olympics and came home
with a silver medal in the heptathlon. Four years later at the 1988
Games, Jackie won a gold medal in both the heptathlon and the long
jump. Her winning score in the heptathlon became the world record
for the event. However in 1992, Jacking won another gold medal in
the heptathlon and a bronze in the long jump.
At the 1996 Games, Jackie injured her right hamstring and was
unable to complete the heptathlon. However, she was able to compete
in the long jump and finished with the bronze medal in spite of her
injury.

Read the passage.
The Internet has brought many opportunities for learning to students of all ages. The ability to read books online is mostly seen as a
wonderful new convenience. It has, however, had an unexpected side effect. Many libraries in surrounding towns are struggling to stay open. The
shift from paper books to online versions means that fewer people are going to the library to browse through the shelves. Fewer people are making
their way to the front desk with a pile of books to borrow and read.
Some say the loss of this experience would be a real disaster. Children have enjoyed the pleasure of getting their library cards for hundreds
of years. Nothing will ever replace the look and feel of a book or the pleasure of slowly turning the pages as adventures and mysteries spill out.
Which word is closest in meaning to disaster?
1.
crisis
2. puzzle
3. challenge
4. misfortune
