That is creating some communication problems for the two countries' first joint Olympic team as it prepares for 2018 Winter Games in Pyeong Chang, South Korea. So, the joint women's hockey team has created its own dictionary. The three-page document translates important hockey terms from English into South Korean, and then into North Korean.Canadian Sarah Murray is the team's coach，She says the document has helped everybody communicate. Team Korea was formed just two weeks ago after the two Koreas decided to suddenly cooperate during the Olympics. Twelve players from North Korea were then added to the 23rmember South Korean team.South Korea has incorporated many English words and phrases into its language. North Korea has removed foreign words and created substitutes from Korean words. To many South Koreans, the substitutes sound funny.Language experts say about one-third of the everyday words used in the two countries are different. The divide is wider with technical language, like that used for medical and sports industries. For example, South Korean hockey players use the English word "pass," but their North Korean teammates say "yeol lak" or "communication." North Koreans say "nahl gay soo” meaning "wing player." South Koreans call that position "wing" like in English. South Koreans say "block shot" while North Koreans say "buhduh make," or "stretching to block. "Murray admits that there are still some problems in communication even with the new dictionary. She said her South Korean assistant coach plays an important part in bridging thedivide. Some in South Korea have criticized the partnership. They argue that the addition of players from North Korea players may prevent South Korean players from playing as much. One early public opinion study found that about 70 percent of South Koreans opposed the joint team.However, that opposition appears to be lessening as the Olympics near,28.

It also determines the color of our eyes and skin.Dr. Gerald Weizmann, an editor of a journal, says, AH of oui; hair cells make a tiny bit of hydrogen peroxide, but as we get older, this little bit becomes quite a lot，and our hair turns gray and then white."The new study brings hope for millions of people who have to color their hair: to finally obtain some shampoo that will decrease levels of hydrogen peroxide and therefore restore grayor white hair to its natural color or even prevent it from turning gray.The researchers are already conducting an experiment with such a drug on a few volunteers with gray hair and expect to get the results in the next two to three months, if everything works out, millions of people will choose between this drug and other previously used expensive dyes. However, even if the drug works, it will take at least several years before it can be brought to the market.32. What is the passage mainly about?A. The effect that gray hair has on people.B. The chemical elements of people’s hair.C. The reason why people's hair turns gray.D. New drugs to prevent people's hair from turning gray.33.
