What’s the topic? The topic is Olympic.
What are these details all making about that topic?
(1) But this time the whole atmosphere was different. And …thousands of athletes from all over the world.
(2) And all of them were on different schedules. And So the cafeteria and infirmary …everywhere to protect us.
We can infer the main idea of this paragraph is “The Olympics created an exciting atmosphere”.3. Detail questions
The first step in reading for specific information is to look for the main idea. In a one-paragraph selection, you add up all the sentences to find the main idea. In a longer work, you add up the main ideas of the various paragraphs in order to figure out the main idea of the whole selection.
But the main idea does not give you all the information you need. Facts and details appear within the paragraphs you read and help develop the main ideas of the paragraphs. These facts and details may paint a more complete picture, may give examples to help you understand the ideas better, may prove a point, or may show how the idea relates to other ideas. Detail questions are to ask about explicit facts and details given in the passage.Here are some common question forms:
Who/What/When/Where/How…?
How many/how much…?
Which of the following is the reason for…?
On what is the…based?
According to the passage/the author…?3.1 Find out the answer according to the question
To answer the detail questions we have to locate and identify the information that the questions are asked about. It is a common way to answer the question.
(1) Focus on one or two keywords as you read the stem of each question. Lock these words in your mind.
(2) Scan the passage looking for the key words or their synonyms. Look only for these words. Do not try to read every word of the passage.
(3) When you find the key words in the passage, carefully read the sentence in which they occur. You may have to read the sentence preceding or following that sentence as well.
(4) Compare the information you read with the four answer choices. [7] Example:

At the opening of the century, with the exception of a crude plow, farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural implements on their backs; by 1860, most of the machinery in use today had been designed in an early form. The most important of the early inventions was the iron plow. As early as 1790 Charles Newbold of New Jersey had been working on the idea of a cast-iron plow and spends his entire fortune in introducing his invention. The farmers, however, were not interested in it, claiming that iron poisoned the soil and made the weeds grow. Nevertheless, many people devoted their attention to the plow, until in 1868 James Oliver of South Bend, Indiana, turned out the first chilled-steel plow. (1) When was the iron plow invented?
