3 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

It was the Annual Inter-school Primary Sports Meet at the National Stadium. I sat down next to my principal, Mr Tan, in the preparation room as he gave me some words of encouragement. I was taking part in the 100-metre race event.

“Just one more gold medal from the last event, Tyson! You can do it! Nila Primary School will win the Champion School Cup!” Mr Tan encouraged me before he left the room. Just then, I saw Robert, the best runner from Sunshine Primary School, walking towards me. Suddenly, he grabbed my T-shirt and pulled me towards him. I could smell his terrible breath. “You are nothing! You will never beat me!” Robert said, trying to make me angry.

I pushed him away and shouted at him. “The same to you! I’m not frightened by your threats!” I replied with a fearless glare. Hearing this, Robert walked away, speechless. Soon, we heard an announcement to gather at the starting point. As I looked up and heard the deafening cheer from the sea of spectators (观众), I was awed. The atmosphere was exciting!

“On your mark. Get set!” the judge announced. There was dead silence in the air. Suddenly, I heard the firing of the starter’s gun and I burst forth. Robert and I were neck and neck until I spotted a frog leaping towards us. Robert screamed and ran into my lane suddenly. Unfortunately, we tripped over each other and landed hard on the tracks. There was a loud gasp from the spectators stand. Other competitors rushed by and none stopped to help us. Sportsmanship arose from my heart suddenly. I got up and helped Robert to his feet. He could not run so I put my right arm over his shoulders and we walked slowly past the finish line. The crowd cheered. The moment we crossed that, Robert thanked me and sat down heavily to the ground. I later knew that he had suffered an ankle injury.

5 . Kazunori Takishima has been traveling the world to support Japan at every Olympic Games for the past 15 years, so he intended to see the event in his home city of Tokyo. But when a ban on audience was announced, that dream was over.

He had spent nearly $40,000 on 197 tickets for him and his friends to see as many events as possible during Tokyo 2020, which started on July 23.

“It took an unbelievable amount of time, effort, and passion,” Takishima told CNN. “But I was so passionate about the Olympics that even though it was very difficult and challenging, I enjoyed the process of buying the tickets.”

The 45-year-old businessman worked out that if he watched all the events he had booked, he would have broken the Guinness World Record for attendance at Olympic events. He got a refund (退款) on the tickets he had purchased.

Takishima’s love for the Olympics started in 2005 when he saw a figure skating competition for the first time and immediately bought tickets for the 2006 Torino Olympics in Italy. He was infatuated. It inspired him so much that he has been going to the Olympics ever since.

But this year, only members of the media and the selected people were allowed to watch the events. The decision by Olympic officials to ban audience was designed to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

“And it’s the athletes that will suffer the most from the lack of support in the stands,” Takishima said.

“It’s a great loss when your family can’t come,” Takishima said. “So I hope everyone will at least cheer for them in front of the TV.”

Despite his disappointment, he said the experience wouldn’t stop him from being an Olympic superfan. “I will continue to visit and support the Olympics until the day I die,” Takishima said. “While I’m still able to move, I plan to see all the Games from the opening to the closing ceremonies.”

Held in France in July, it is really tough and bikers have to race up and down mountains, on winding, dangerous roads. Every day, he riders finish a different part of the race, called a "stage". Every stage can have a different winner, and each lay, the total time is added up. The person who is leading wears a yellow shirt to show that they are winners.

But there are no women in the Tour de France. For years, women have been trying to change that. From 1984 to 2009, there was a women's Tour de France, run under different names by different organizations. But in 2009, it ended completely.

The Tour de France is organized by Amaury Sport Organization (ASO). In 2014, ASO began holding a race for women called La Course. But La Course is not a long, challenging race.

Women look part in the J-1 project again in 2021. But next year, they won't have to. That's because ASO has announced that in July of 2022, they will be holding the Tour de France Femmes.

The Tour de France Femmes will be an eight-day race with many stages which will start when the men's Tour de France is finished. Christian Prudhomme, the organizer, says this time they are hoping to set the race up in a way that it will make money, allowing the event to continue.
