5 . Football star inspires poetry pupils

He made his first appearance in the League for West Ham in the 1995-96 season and by the time he retired from the 2014-15 season, he had won the Premier League title six times with Manchester United. Ferdinand was eager to be a judge in the Premier League Writing Stars competition, where children can hand in their own poem on the theme of diversity. Ferdinand decided to drop in on his old school, Camelot Primary in Peckham, London, and answer some questions. Are you excited to be a judge for the Premier League Writing Stars poetry competition? “I’m very excited because you get the chance to see what the kids are up to now and how the kids think. It’s really important for people to express themselves through words. I can’t wait to read all of the poems.”

When you were at school, what subject did you like the most? “I like drama, PE and English. These were my three strongest subjects at school.” What was your favourite book at school? “As a kid, my favourite book was The Twits by Roald Dahl.” The Premier League Writing Stars competition asks us to celebrate the ways in which we are beautifully different and wonderfully the same. Why is this an important theme? “It is an important theme because it is true. I’ve been to many parts of the world and everyone is similar in the way they are. Everywhere you go, there are a lot of different people in the world, but we are very much the same in many ways.”

COMPETITION Why not write your own poem on the theme of diversity for the Premier Writing Stars competition? Last year, more than 25,000 children entered. You could even write a rap or song lyrics. Your class could win a poetry workshop and have the Premier League trophy visit your primary school! Rio Ferdinand’s fellow judges include poet Joseph Coelho, musician Olly Murs and writer Lauren Child. There will be two national winners and ten regional winners from both key stage 1 (five to seven years old) and key stage 2 (seven to 11 years old).

8 . Here’s a selection of the strangest races in the world.

Surf Dog Competition

Hundreds of participants (参赛者) from all over the US come to fight for the first prize. This annual event is an official dog surfing competition taking place in Imperial Beach in August and Huntington Beach in September. The attendance to the event is free of charge, however, donations are welcome.

Bring Your Own Big Wheel Race

If you think wheel toys are designed for kids only, you’re wrong. The race was initiated by John Brumit in 2000 when he rode down Lombard Street on his plastic wheel toy. That day, he was the only participant in the race. He continued his tradition every year, but few joined him. In 2006, someone posted a video of his race and as a result, the next year’s race featured hundreds of participants though there was no prize money. Since then, the annual race has been held on Easter Sunday in San Francisco.

World’s Ugliest Dog Contest

It’s an annual event held in June in Petaluma, California. But it’s not about making fun of the ugly dogs, but about encouraging them and showing the world that such dogs can also be happy and adorable. The competition has been held since the 1970s. The winner gets a check for $1,000.

Fur Rondy

Like the famous Spanish Bullfighting Festival, Alaska has its own tradition. It’s a bit transformed. Speedy reindeer (驯鹿) run after the participants in the race. This event is held every February in Anchorage, Alaska. Participants pay a small fee to attend it; some of them wear funny dresses, which children enjoy very much.

1. What made Bring Your Own Big Wheel Race popular quickly?

A．Brumit’s strange race device.	B．A video of Brumit in the race.
C．The prize money of the race.	D．The joy brought by the race.

2. Of the following races, which is held in two places?

C．Fur Rondy.	D．World’s Ugliest Dog Contest.

3. What do the listed competitions have in common?

A．They are free of charge.	B．They have ancient traditions.
C．They are held annually.	D．They are favored by children.

9 . As the song “Bridge Over Troubled Water” echoed across the ice rink at the Beijing 2022, Chinese skaters Sui Wenjing and Han Cong completed their touching but powerful performance on Long Program, which successfully earned them their first-ever Olympic championship title and China’s second gold in the pair skating event at the Olympic Games. (The first was from Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo at 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.) Also, it was a perfect conclusion to their 15 years of cooperation.

Sui and Han, born in 1995 and 1992 respectively, had won almost every youth competition they took part in when they were young, yet constant injuries and accidents created a massive barrier to overcome when it came to reaching the Olympic podium(领奖台).

In 2014, an ankle injury caused Sui constant pain, forcing the pair lose their qualification for the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. That should have been their first opportunity for Olympic gold. “It was a huge regret for us after preparing so much,” recalled Sui.

In 20l6, Sui finally underwent foot ligament(韧带) surgery, after which she went through a long recovery period. The doubt about whether she would ever skate again almost left her in despair. For Han, the training arena and the hospital were the only two places that Han would go.

After four years of waiting, the pair had the chance to compete at Pyeongchang 2018. Their performance there won them a silver medal.

Another four years later in Beijing, the then two-time world champions finished their entire routine with a total of 155.47 points, surpassing Team China’s top competitor, ROC’S Evgenia Tarasova and Vladimir Morozov, who won silver.

Talking about her future career direction, Sui said she is applying to be a choreography major, as she believes figure skating is a combination of this art form and skating techniques. “I have too many creative ideas for figure skating. It requires continuous learning and of course an endless passion for skating as well as perseveration, which is the key to success.”

1. What does the first paragraph focus on?

A．Good performance of the two skaters.	B．Sui and Han’s Olympic championship.
C．Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.	D．China’s two golds in great sports events.

2. What can we know about Sui and Han’s experiences?

A．Their 15-year cooperation was filled with ups and downs.

B．Physical problems had bothered the pair for 4 years.

C．Han had to stop practising when Sui was in hospital.

D．The 2014 Olympics laid the foundation for their final success.

3. What saying can be used to summarize the pair’s struggles and fighting?

A．Practice makes perfect.	B．No way is impossible to courage.
C．Adversity makes a man wise, not rich.	D．The path to glory is always rugged.

4. What can be inferred from the text?

A．The pair have participated in four Olympic Games.

B．Sui may retire after winning this Olympic championship.

C．Ranking second in 2018 made the pair completely disappointed.

D．The two gold medals at the Olympic Games are eight years apart.

10 . Race walking(竞走) has become more and more popular in recent years.     1     For example, it can make a person stronger and more patient.

Race walking is different from running. The race walker should take the correct running posture(姿势). He must never be completely out of contact with the ground, which means the back foot cannot folly leave the surface until the front foot has touched the ground. In addition, the leg carrying the race walker’s weight must remain completely straight until his body has passed over it.     2     If not, he will be warned(警告) by judges(裁判) and even lose the chance to continue the competition.

    3     Some race walkers can reach a speed very close to that of professional runners. In 2008, the men’s 20 km race walk world record was one hour sixteen minutes and forty-three seconds, while the current world record for a 20 km run was fifty-five minutes and forty-eight Seconds.

Race walking has become an important Olympic event. At first, only men were allowed to take part in race walking in the Olympics. Some years later, women were also allowed to take part in it in the Olympics. Women are typically slower than men in race walking.     4    

If you want to learn it, you can read some books or watch videos to find out the basics of race walking.     5     You’ll receive good guidance on the skills of race walking.

A．But their record scores are fairly close.

B．The correct posture is not easy to stick to.

C．The race walker must follow these basic rules.

D．It’s a sport helpful to people’s health and mind.

E．Or you can turn to a race walking coach directly.

F．Learning race walking can be tiring in the beginning.

G．The speed of race walking can be even as fast as that of running.
