A

Queen of Gymnastics—Svetlana Khorkina

As the Russia’s most successful gymnast, she is tall and graceful— Svetlana Khorkina is more than a champion, she is a star.

Khorkina was born on January 19, 1979, in Belgorod. She was introduced to gymnastics by her mother when she was only four years old. When asked how to start her gymnastics career, she smiled, ―As a child, I was very

particular about my food. My mother hoped that if she put me into gymnastics, I would start eating breakfast, after having spent a lot of energy in the gym.‖ Her coach wanted her to train in rhythmic gymnastics because of body type, but Khorkina insisted on learning artistic gymnastics. Boris Pilkin was the only coach throughout her entire career. Then her height, normally considered a negative in gymnastics, became a positive.

For the past ten years, Khorkina also did much for the Russian gymnastic team. Many times she had to take part in competitions with wounds, and she managed to win!

Please remember the period when Khorkina bravely entered the world of show business, and had even more courage to enter the world of theater. She was successful there! She was supposed to quit gymnastics after becoming a famous person, but she did not! ―You should perform for us!‖ said her coach and fans as they understood that there were no such strong gymnasts as Khorkina in the Russian team.

In 2004, Khorkina, 25 years old, announced that she would retire after the Athens Olympics. She wanted to end her gymnastics career with a gold medal, so she went to Athens. But the result disappointed her, she gained only a silver on individual all-around and a bronze on team. ―Actually, I feel I’m capable of competing still, but I believe it’s time for me to finish. As any other woman does, I’d like to have a family. I’d like to have kids. I’d like to be loved.‖ Khorkina said. She is an artist in a sport that doesn’t reward artistry anymore, old in a sport that worships youth. So it’s time for her to leave.

On August 19, 2004, she played the artist one final time. Even Olympic boss Jacques Rogge stopped by. Asked to name his favorite gymnast, he replied, ―Khorkina. She’s a real woman.‖

36. Why did her mother have Khorkina attempt gymnastics very young?

A. To make a world famous gymnast.

B. To continue her career.

C. To make her eat more food.

孔子的名人名言

D. To serve her motherland.

37. Which of the following is true about Khorkina’s body type?

A. It was perfect for gymnastics.

B. It was a disadvantage but she turned it into an advantage.

C. It was usually thought unsuitable for gymnastics.

D. It was difficult to achieve greatly with such a body type.

38. Khorkina tried all of the following careers except _______.

A. sports B. show business

C. the world of theatre D. teaching gymnastics

39. Which of the following can describe Khorkina’s feeling at the Athens

Olympics?

A. Disappointed. B. Sorrowful.

C. Successful. D. Surprised.

40. The author mentioned Jacques Rogge in order to _______.

A. show Khorkina’s importance B. prove Khorkina’s great pity

C. stress Khorkina’s greatness D. comfort Khorkina’s failure

B

―If there is one thing I’m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.

The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives — the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do — as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.

It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted (传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I’m pretty sure how it will happen in the future. You will probably 让世界be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the thin这就是我作文300字gs you want to read — sports and international news, etc.

I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media. They actually each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn’t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.

41. What is the best title for the passage?

A. The Best Way to Get News B. The Changes of Media

C. Make Your Own Newspaper D. The Future of Newspaper

42. In the writer’s opinion, in the future, _______.

A. more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news
