Reading 2,第2页,Why do so many people love football?Is it only because it is exciting?Sometimes it can also be very funny.Now its time for football fun.Lets enjoy the video clip.,Warming Up,Richard Lindon is believed to have invented the first football with rubber bladders.,第3页,Text,About the author,Heptathlon,Go to the text,第4页,Text,Denise Lewis,the writer,is a British athlete,born in 1972,who won the gold medal for the heptathlon at the Sydney Olympic Games.After her Olympic gold medal event,she was given an OBE(Order of British Empire),an honour given by the Queen,to recognize her contribution to sports and other championships.In the Olympic Games she had to withdraw due to injuries.She retired from sports in.,第5页,The,heptathlon,consists of seven events(“hepta”means“seven”in Greek):Three are track events the 100m hurdles,200m and 800m events,and four are field events the high jump,shot put,long jump and javelin.On the first day,athletes participate in the 100m hurdles,high jump,shot put and 200m events.The other events are on the second day.The winner is the woman who achieves the highest number of points collected in all the events.She does not need the top score in any single event,but competitors must take part in all the events.Points are calculated for each event by measuring distance and speed.The equivalent event for men is the,decathlon,(“deka”means“ten”in Greek)with ten events(100m,400m,110m hurdles,1500m,long jump,high jump,shot,discus,pole vault and javelin).,Text,第6页,My dream comes true,1,The rain had started to fall,gently,through the evening air as darkness descended over,Sydney,.Hundreds of lights,illuminated,Stadium Australia,and the noise was,deafening,.As I walked towards the track I glanced around me at the,sea of,faces in the stands,but my mind was focused.The Olympic gold medal was just minutes away,hanging,tantalisingly,in the distance.,Text,第7页,2,My heart was beating loudly,my mouth was dry and the adrenaline was pumping,.I was so close to the realisation of my childhood dream and the feeling was fantastic;it was completely,exhilarating,but also,terrifying,.,I knew I would have to push myself beyond my known limits to ensure that my dream came true,.,Text,第8页,3,I tried to keep,composed,telling myself not to panic,to stick to the plan and run my own race.I knew the Russian girls would set off quickly and,I had to finish this race fewer than ten seconds behind the Russian athlete Yelena Prokhorova.If I could do that,the title would be mine.,4,I looked out along the first,stretch,of the 400m track and caught my breath.The 800m race had punished me so much over the years in the World,Commonwealth,and European,Championships,and now it stood between me and the Olympic title.,Text,第9页,5,The British supporters were cheering so loudly it seemed as if they were the only fans there.I could hear my name being called.I could hear the shouts of encouragement and the cries of hope.,Union Jacks,fluttered,all around the vast,beautiful stadium.I felt,unified,with the crowd we all had the same vision and the same dream.,6,My ankle was bandaged against an injury I had,incurred,in the long jump just a couple of hours earlier,but I,shut out,all thoughts of pain.I tried to concentrate on the crowd.They were so,vocal,.My spirits lifted and I felt composed.,Text,第10页,7,I knew I would do my best,that I would run my heart out and finish the race.I felt the,performer,in me move in and,take over,.I had just two laps to run,that was all.Just two laps until the emotional and physical,strain,of the past two days and the last 28 years would be,eclipsed,by victory or failure.This race was all about survival.Its only two minutes,I kept telling myself,anyone can run for two minutes.,Text,第11页,8,The starting gun was fired,and the race began.The first lap was good,I managed to,keep up with,the group,but I was feeling much more tired than I usually did,and much more than Id anticipated.Both the long,hard weeks of training that had,led up to,this championship,and the,exhaustion,from two days of,gruelling,competition were showing in my performance.Mental and physical,fatigue,were starting to crush me,and I had to,fight back,.,Text,第12页,9,Prokhorova had,set the pace,from the start.It was important that I didnt let her get too far in front.I had to stay with her.,At the bell I was 2.3 seconds behind her.,Just one lap to go.One lap.I could do it.I had to keep going.In the final 150 metres I could hear the,roar,of the crowd,giving me a,boost,at exactly the moment I needed it the most just when my legs were burning and I could see the gap opening between me and the Russian.,Thankfully,my foot was,holding out,so now it was all down to mental stamina,.,10,Prokhorova was pulling away,.I couldnt let her get too far;I had to stay with her.I began,counting down,the metres I had left to run:60 m,50 m,40 m,20m.I could see the clock.,I could do it,but it would be close.,Then finally the line appeared.I crossed it,exhausted,.I had finished.,Text,第13页,11,As I crossed the line my initial thought was how much harder the race had been than expected,bearing in mind,how,only eight weeks before,I had set a new personal best of 2 minutes 12.2 seconds.Then my mind turned to the result.Had I done it?,I thought I had.I was aware of where the other athletes were,and was sure that Id just,made it,.But,until I saw it on the,scoreboard,I wouldnt let myself believe it.As I stood there,staring up and waiting for confirmation,I tried hard to keep negative thoughts from my mind but I couldnt help thinking,what if I have just,missed out,?What if Ive been through all this,and missed out?,Text,第14页,12,In the distance I could hear the,commentary,team talking about two days of tough competition,then I could almost hear someone say,“I think shes done enough.”The next thing I knew,Sabine Braun,of Germany came over and told me Id won.They had heard before me,and she asked what it,felt like,to be the Olympic champion.I smiled,still not sure.,13,Then,the moment that will stay with me for the rest of my life,my name in lights,.That was when it all hit me.Relief,a moment of calm,and a thank you to my inner self for taking me through these two days.,I felt a tingle through the whole of my body,.,This was how it is meant to be arms aloft and fists clenched,.,14,I looked out at the fans,who were waving flags,clapping and shouting with delight.I was the Olympic champion.The Olympic champion.,Text,第15页,Text,梦想成真,1,当夜幕降临悉尼时，雨也开始悄悄地从夜空中飘落。几百盏灯把澳大利亚体育场照得灯火通明，场内声音震耳欲聋。走向跑道时我看了一眼四面看台上无数脸，但我注意力还是很集中。再过几分钟奥运金牌归属就要见分晓了，它悬挂在远处，很诱人。,第16页,Text,2,我心在猛烈地跳动，口干舌燥，肾上腺素猛增。童年梦想就要实现了，这种感觉真是太奇妙了：令人非常兴奋，又胆战心惊。我知道，为了确保能梦想成真我必须强迫自己超越已知极限。,第17页,Text,3,我极力保持镇静，告诫自己不要担心，要坚持按原计划做，按自己节奏跑。我知道那些俄罗斯姑娘起跑很快,这场比赛我落后俄罗斯运动员叶莲娜,普罗科霍洛娃不能超出十秒。假如我做到这一点，冠军就是我了。,4,我望着四百米跑道起跑点，屏住了呼吸。这些年来，在世锦赛、英联邦锦标赛以及欧洲锦标赛八百米赛跑中我屡战屡败，饱受挫折。现在，它再次横在我与奥运冠军头衔之间。,第18页,Text,5,我英国支持者在为我欢呼，声音尤其大，就好像看台上观赛者只有他们一样。我听到他们喊我名字，为我鼓劲加油，听到他们充满希望呐喊。宽敞漂亮体育场上处处飘扬着大不列颠联合王国国旗，我感觉自己和观众融为了一体：我们有着一样期盼，一样梦想。,6,几个小时前，我脚踝在跳远时受了伤，缠上了绷带，不过我忘记伤痛，尽可能把注意力集中在观众身上。他们叫喊声势浩大，使我精神振奋，我感到镇静自若。,第19页,Text,7,我知道自己会全力以赴，拼尽全力跑完全程。我感觉自己已经进入最正确状态。我只要跑两圈就行了，就两圈。跑完这两圈，过去两天以及,28,年来全部情感和身体上辛劳付出就将被胜利或者失败所淹没。这一跑真是生死攸关。我不停地告诉自己：也就是跑两分钟，谁都能跑两分钟。,第20页,Text,8,发令枪响了，比赛正式开始。第一圈还好，我跟其它人跑得一样快，但我以为比平时要累得多，比我预想要累得多。这次赛前长达数周艰辛训练以及这两天激烈比赛所带来疲劳在我赛跑过程中显现出来。精神和肉体疲惫开始向我袭来，我不得不还击。,第21页,Text,9,普罗科霍洛娃一开始就领先。最主要是我不能被她甩得太远，我得紧紧地跟着她。最终一 圈铃声响起时，我比她落后,2.3,秒。只剩一圈了，就一圈，我能赢，我必须坚持跑下去。到最终,150,米时候我听见观众高声叫喊，在我最需要时候为我加油助威,这时我腿疼得要命，我看见我和那个俄罗斯运动员之间距离正在拉大。令人欣慰是，我脚还在继续向前迈步，这时候就全靠精神毅力来支撑了。,10,普罗科霍洛娃正在向前冲，我不能让她甩开了，我必须跟上她。我开始倒数剩下距离：,60,米、,50,米、,40,米、,20,米。我看得见计时器了，我能赢，但成绩会很靠近。最终终点线出现了，我 冲了过去，累得精疲力竭。我跑完了。,第22页,Text,11,冲过终点线时我最初念头是这次赛跑比预期要艰辛得多，记得八周前我以,2,分,12.2,秒,成绩打破了个人最好成绩。然后，我心思转向了比赛成绩：我赢了吗？我想我是赢了，过终点线时，我知道其它运动员位置，我必定我赢了。不过，假如我不是亲眼看见记分牌上成绩，我就无法让自己相信这是真。当我站在那里，抬头望着记分牌等候确认成绩时，我尽力打消脑子里消极念头，不过我还是禁不住想：假如我再次与冠军失之交臂怎么办？假如我经历了这些磨难却又一次失败了，那该怎么办,？,第23页,Text,12,我听见远处转播比赛讲解员在谈论两天来艰难赛事，我好像听见有些人说：“我以为她做得够好了。”接下来，来自德国萨拜因,布劳恩走过来告诉我我赢了，他们在我之前探询到了消息，她问我当奥运冠军是什么滋味。我笑了，但还是不敢必定。,13,接下来那一刻将让我铭记一生：计分牌上我名字亮了。那一刻我惊呆了。如释重负，平静了一会儿，感激我内在自我帮我度过了这两天。我感到全身一阵振颤，这时候该做事是：高举双手，紧握双拳。,14,我向我支持者望去，他们正兴高采烈地挥舞旗帜，鼓掌呐喊。我是奥运冠军，奥运会冠军。,第24页,gently,illuminate,deafening,tantalisingly,adrenaline,flutter,unified,incur,vocal,performer,roar,boost,thankfully,stamina,exhausted,exhilarating,terrifying,ensure,composed,championship,strain,eclipse,exhaustion,gruelling,fatigue,scoreboard,commentary,tingle,aloft,Words&Phrases,第25页,a
