5 . A father in Brisbane, Australia, has beaten the world record for the most push-ups in one hour.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, 33-year-old Lucas Helmke, an accountant (会计) by trade, did 3, 206 push-ups at Brisbane’s Iron Underground gym. After the November submission (提交) , Helmke’s record just officially passed. He beat the record of 3, 182 push-ups set last April by fellow Australian Daniel Scali.

In order to show his son that “nothing is impossible,” Helmke, who trained for two to three years for this moment, said he wanted to beat the old record to “provide encouragement” for his 1-year-old.

His goal in this successful record attempt (尝试) was to break the exercise down to 30-second sets, doing 26 push-ups in each. Guinness said that 34 of Helmke’s push-ups were discounted because of improper form. To count, each push-up had to be completed without bending (弯曲) the knees.

Breaking the push-ups world record is a hot ticket. The record for the most push-ups in one hour has been broken repeatedly over the past 10 years. Before Helmke and Scali, another Australian man named Jarrad Young held the title, breaking his own record three years in a row: from 2, 806 push-ups in 2018 to 3, 054 in 2021. CNN reported that a 60-year-old Florida man, Rob Stirling, did 3, 264 push-ups last month, but it has not yet been officially recognized by Guinness.

Helmke told Guinness that his achievement is just the beginning. “This will be the first record I wish to set of a number of other push-up records,” he said. “Then onto other physical records.” According to the Brisbane Times, the dad chose Nov. 11 for his record attempt. “I wanted to break the record on my son’s first birthday,” he said.

1. What did Helmke do after years of training?

A．He set a new world record.	B．He ran the largest gym in Brisbane.
C．He started a new life as a senior accountant.	D．He became his son’s push-up instructor.

2. Why did Helmke begin his attempt?

A．To improve his life.	B．To set an example to his son.
C．To encourage people to take exercise.	D．To realize his childhood dream.

3. What do the underlined words “a hot ticket” mean in paragraph 5?

A．A difficult task.

B．A long way.

C．A popular challenge.

D．A new business.

4. What did Helmke plan to do?

9 . Five seconds are left on the clock. The ball is passed from one player to another. The athletes move quickly past opponents (对手). In the final second, a player scores the winning goal. What sets this match apart? The players are in wheelchairs.

Wheelchair rugby is played in more than 25 countries around the world, with men and women competing equally. It is also a sport in the Summer Paralympics, the world’s second-largest sporting event after the Olympics.

The sport’s rules and equipment are different from traditional rugby, which has 15 players on an outdoor field and kicking methods that are similar to football in the United States. Wheelchair rugby is played indoors on a small hardwood court. Only four players from each 10-member team are on the court at the same time. In wheelchair rugby, the ball is smaller than a traditional rugby ball and round instead of oval (椭圆形). This makes it easier to carry on one’s knee. It’s also easier to catch, which is important because some players struggle with hand movements.

In wheelchair rugby, the aim is to carry the ball across the goal line. Instead of kicking other players along the way, the athletes crash with each other in order to kick the ball out.

In New Zealand, the All Blacks, the traditional rugby team, are widely known. But not everyone knows about the Wheel Blacks, who travel across the country and internationally to compete.

Members of this great team won the gold medal in the 2004 Paralympic Games and the third medal in the 2019 Asia-Oceania Championships.

The team captain encourages everyone to find a sport they love, no matter what limitations (限制) they may have. “In any sport that you’re wanting to try,” he said, “just go for it. Don’t be afraid to push the limit.”
