3 . If sports are something that interests you, obviously you would want to be good at them. Succeeding at a sport takes skill, and skill takes patience and determination.
Begin from basics first.
It’s common that young athletes want to jump into the advanced skills quickly. This isn’t an effective way to spend training time. If you’re new to a sport, take as much time as you need to get the basic movements down properly.
Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet.
Everyone should make a point of eating a diet that benefits their body. This is especially true if you want to be great at sports.
Set great goals for yourself.
This does not mean being unrealistic, or saying you’re going to go professional within a year.
Being good at sports means more than physical strength and speed. In order to be truly great, you need to apply positive attitude to the way you treat other players, even if they’re on the other team. If you lose a match, accept the loss and show respect to the other player for their victory.
A.Let yourself have fun. |
B.Show good sportsmanship. |
C.However, there are other things you need to think about. |
D.It will make advanced skills a lot easier to grasp in the long run. |
E.If you stop practicing, chances are that someone more determined will beat you. |
F.Eating junk food will work against whatever efforts you make in the gym. |
G.Instead, you should take a look at what you are, and figure out where you’d like to be. |

The Students’ Union
On a winter Sunday good for skiing, Sue arrived at their holiday chalet (棚屋) with joy. Sue’s skis were sticking out behind her. Mark, another skier, tripped over Sue’s skis. Before Sue could apologize, Mike shouted, “Your skis are in the way. You’ve got big smelly feet!” In view of his attitude, Sue ignored him. Mark lost face and was more angry.
The ski lift took all the skiers to the top of the mountain. The hard snow of the piste (滑雪道) was below them. Then Sue skied down the mountain. As a good skier, she didn’t fall over. Mark, along with his good friend David, was watching her with envy and anger. They were also good skiers but they didn’t know Sue very well. “She’s good,” David said. “But we’re better,” Mark responded with dissatisfaction.
The young people skied all day. They enjoyed themselves and forgot everything. On Wednesday morning, the young people were waiting for the ski lift when their teacher announced a ski race. The race would be arranged for the last day of the holiday on a long and difficult ten-kilometer piste. Everybody wanted to win! They went up the mountain, put on their skis and skied down the piste, practicing for the race. Sue skied fast, so did Mark and David. Obviously, these three became powerful opponents.
It was Saturday and the race was going to be held in the afternoon. Sue was hungry and left her skis at the side of a café. She sat down and ordered lunch. Later, David and Mark came in. They also headed to the side to put their skis there. Mark noticed Sue’s skis and aimed a kick angrily at them. Then he found a screw (螺丝) on Sue’s ski was loose, unsure whether it was caused by the force or it was like that originally. “Sue’s skis won’t work. We’re sure to win,” Mark said and pointed. They smiled knowingly at each other.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;

Finally came the time of the race and everyone was excited.

8 . The final event in the Olympics is the marathon. It is also usually the most exciting. As the leader comes into the stadium to run the last few meters of the 42-kilometer race, the crowd rises to its feet to shout and cheer. The name of the race comes from a battle(战争) in Ancient Greece. According to the story, a soldier ran from the battle field, Marathon, to Athens, to bring the news of a Greek victory against the Persians. He died just after arriving.
The marathon has been an Olympic event since the modern games started in 1896. At first the distance was 40 kilometers—the distance between Marathon and Athens. In 1908, however, at the London Olympics, it was changed. The King of England wanted the runners to leave from his castle in Windsor and arrive in a new stadium in central London. The distance was 26 miles—about 42 kilometers. In fact, the 1908 marathon ended dramatically(戏剧性地). When the leader, an Italian, entered the stadium he turned the wrong way and fell onto the ground. Officials picked him up and helped him to the finishing line, just as the second runner, an American, entered the stadium. The Americans protested(抗议) and in the end the American runner was declared(宣布) the winner. Since then, there have been many more exciting marathons.
In fact, you don’t have to wait for the Olympic Games to run or watch a marathon, as there are marathons in over sixty countries and hundreds of cities around the world today. One of the most famous marathons is in New York, and is watched by two million people around the streets and across the bridges of the city, and past New York’s famous landmarks. But perhaps one of the most beautiful and unique marathons ever is the Great Wall Marathon, which most competitors find is the toughest course to run.
The marathon is the final Olympic event because it is thought to be the hardest. But experts believe that most people—even people who are not very good at sport—can run a marathon, if they train for it.

9 . If you had to choose one word to describe Kevin, it might be “slow.” He didn’t learn his ABCs as fast as other kids. He never came first in the schoolyard races. However, his smile was bright and he showed great interest in everything. So when discovering that Randy was putting together a boys’ basketball team, Kevin immediately joined.
At practice, Kevin worked so hard that you’d have thought he was preparing for the NBA. And the whole team truly loved basketball. But just loving the game doesn’t help you win. They lost every game that season by very large margin(差距), except one …that night it snowed and the other team couldn’t make it to the game.
At the end of the season, the boys unfortunately played against the first-place team. The game went pretty much as expected, and near the middle of the fourth quarter Kevin’s team stood nearly 30 points behind. At that point, one of Kevin’s teammates called time-out. “Coach, this is our last game but Kevin has never made a basket. We should let him try,” said the boy. With the game completely out of reach, the idea seemed reasonable. So every time Kevin’s team had the ball, they would give it to Kevin. His first shot missed and he missed another shot again. This continued a few more times until the player from the other team grew wise. Instead of running off down the court, he threw the ball to Kevin who shot... and missed again.
Soon, all players were circling Kevin, throwing the ball to him. The whole gymnasium thundered with the clapping, chanting, “Kevin! Kevin!” Finally, after amounts of tries, the ball went in. Kevin’s arms shot high into the air and he shouted, “I won! I won!” The first-place team remained unbeaten, but on that evening, everyone left the game truly feeling like a winner.

10 . Of the many events held as part of the X Games — an annual world extreme sports event, Zhong Chengzhan likes skiing most, despite having lost the use of both legs in a skiing accident some nine years ago.
Before the accident in 2013, which left him with paraplegia (截肢) of the upper limbs, Zhong was a committed X Games fan and was already involved in activities such as snowboarding, bicycle climbing, paragliding and nautical sports. He’s also the owner of Kailas, a climbing wear and equipment company founded in 2003 that is a household name to outdoor enthusiasts worldwide.
Zhong’s passion for the X Games grew out of his love for snow and ice, which he first developed on a cycling trip from Sichuan Province to the Tibet Autonomous Region when he was 21. After his accident, Zhong continued to ski and discovered that there were still many sports that people with disabilities could do.
In 2015, he traveled to Austria to learn how to ski in a wheelchair. He visited a number of resorts in Australia, New Zealand and Germany for training over the following two years, which helped him master the skills he’d need to ski in a wheelchair. His persistence paid off. Zhong took fifth place in the National Disabled Alpine Skiing and Snowboarding Champions in January 2018.
The 44-year-old plans to organize a grassroots ski team of disabled people and hopes to encourage more people to join. With his skill as a wheelchair skier improving, Zhong set up another company in 2014 to focus on the design, research and production of wheelchairs, helping to fill a gap in the domestic production of high-end wheelchairs.
With the conclusion of the 2022 Beijing Winter Paralympic Games, Zhong feels the improvement of sports facilities and equipment will encourage more people with disabilities to participate in parasports.
