8 . David Brown is known as the world’s fastest completely blind runner. He was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease at 15 months old, which led him to completely lose his sight by age13.

Brown says he was living in fear for a number of years until he discovered his passion for running. After winning an essay contest, he earned the ticket for the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008. It was at that time that he knew he wanted to compete himself.

Paralympic runners train and compete alongside sighted guides. At the Rio Games in 2016, Brown and his partner Jerome Avery ran 10.99 in the men’s 100-meter dash to take home the gold. Brown made his way to running from another sport. He explains that he lost his left eye when he was 3, and lost vision in his right eye over time. He played basketball as a kid, but was increasingly getting injured because he couldn’t see the ball coming. “I took the opportunity to run on the playground, and realized I had some speed there,” he says.

He pursued his passion at the Missouri School for the Blind. Brown started at the school when he was 11, and it was there that he really started running track.

He got to his first Paralympic games by writing about running. Brown was one of the 25 winners of an essay contest that got to attend the event in Beijing. He says he wrote about how he used sports to overcome obstacles, noting that as he grew up he struggled with depression.

It’s important to be in sync with your running partner. His new partner Steward says he doesn’t have to slow down when running with Brown, because he’s fast. A 10-or 11-sccond race doesn’t require much speaking, Steward says. “It’s also an honor,” Brown says. He notes that Paralympic runners can’t do what they do without guides like Steward, who could theoretically run solo but choose not to. He calls it “a great honor”.

1. What made David Brown decide to take part in the competition himself?

A．Winning an essay contest.	B．Winning an Olympic medal.
C．Attending the 2008 Olympics.	D．Attending the Missouri School.

2. What made David Brown change from basketball to running?

A．His change in personal interest.	B．The decline and loss of his vision.
C．The diagnosis with Kawasaki disease.	D．His participation in his first Paralympic games.

3. What can we know about David Brown’s essay?

A．It was inspiring.	B．It was interesting.
C．It was pessimistic.	D．It was depressing.

4. Which proverb best describes David Brown’s story?

A．All roads lead to Rome.	B．Every dog has its day.
C．Where there is a will, there is a way.	D．Hope for the best, prepare for the Worst.
