The Special Olympics

The Olympics are some of the most exciting sports events in the world. But there is another Olympics about which you may not have heard. This is the Special Olympics, for people with mental disabilities.

The first Special Olympic Games were held in Chicago in 1968. One thousand people competed in many events. Since then Special Olympic programs have been organized in all 50 states and more than 150 countries. Today more than a million people take part in the Special Olympics.

Mentally disabled persons over the age of eight may take part in the Special Olympics. These people may also have physical disabilities. People have run in races using crutches or walkers. A young girl enter the long jump event with an artificial leg. A blind runner raced around the track with the help of his coach's voice. A deaf basketball team planned their plays using sign language.

Winning is wonderful for people who may never have had much success. But training for and entering the Special Olympics is also important. The participants become more confident. They learn how to concentrate in order to play well. Then they use that concentration in school to improve their schoolwork. Like anyone else they feel great when they prove they can do something well.

【2】How many people take part in the Special Olympics today?

【3】How did a blind runner raced around the track?

【4】What did a deaf basketball team use when they planned their plays?

【5】Why is training for and entering the Special Olympics important?

【3】With the help of his coach’s voice.

【解析】奧運(yùn)會(huì)是世界上最大的體育盛事，而特殊奧運(yùn)會(huì)可能很多人還不大了解，特奧會(huì)是給那些精神有疾病的人舉行的，第一屆特奧會(huì)是在1968年，芝加哥舉行，自那以后，參加特奧會(huì)的人數(shù)越來(lái)越多。對(duì)于那些精神或身體有殘疾的人來(lái)說(shuō)，參加特奧會(huì)是很有意義的，這可以增強(qiáng)他們的自信心。

【1】根據(jù)短文中The first Special Olympic Games were held in Chicago in 1968可知，第一屆特殊奧林匹克運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)是1968年在芝加哥舉行的，因此這個(gè)問(wèn)題的答案是肯定的。

【2】根據(jù)短文中Today more than a million people take part in the Special Olympics.可知，現(xiàn)在有超過(guò)一百萬(wàn)人參加特奧會(huì)。

【3】根據(jù)短文中A blind runner raced around the track with the help of his coach's voice可知，盲人跑步運(yùn)動(dòng)員是在教練的聲音的幫助下圍繞跑道跑步的。

【4】根據(jù)短文中A deaf basketball team planned their plays using sign language可知，聾人籃球隊(duì)是通過(guò)使用手語(yǔ)來(lái)計(jì)劃他們的比賽的。

【5】根據(jù)短文的最后But training for and entering the Special Olympics is also important. The participants become more confident. They learn how to concentrate in order to play well. Then they use that concentration in school to improve their schoolwork. Like anyone else they feel great when they prove they can do something well可知，為特奧會(huì)訓(xùn)練、參加特奧會(huì)是非常重要的，這些參與者們變得更加自信了，他們學(xué)會(huì)了集中注意力，他們會(huì)把這種集中的注意力用在學(xué)校中，來(lái)提高他們的學(xué)習(xí)，當(dāng)他們證明了他們也能做好一些事情的時(shí)候，他們自己會(huì)感覺(jué)很棒。

【題目】A New Kind of Hero

In the Olympics, star athletes always get public’s attention. In the past, the athletes who got the gold medal in Olympics were popular. But now athletes who are not the winner, such as Lin Dan and Fu Yuanhui, also become popular.

Fu Yuanhui, 20 years old, is a Chinese backstroke（仰泳） athlete. She became a popular star on social media（媒體） with her exaggerated（夸張的） expressions, instead of her bronze medal（銅牌） in the women’s 100- meter backstroke. After the semi- final, she was asked if she had saved some energy for the final. Fu answered with a shock face, “ I have been using my ‘ pre – historical’ power （ an online phrase in China which means the power of nature that can turn the world upside down）.” This cute answer made her popular. Her happy personality （個(gè)性） won her millions of fans on the Internet overnight. People called her the “Pre – historical Girl”. She has become a new hero of Chinese people. She taught us a lesson: Sport is about the struggle （奮斗）and enjoyment, and most definitely not about gold medal.

Winning used to be everything for China’s Olympians. Athletes who got gold have fame and fortune（財(cái)富）, while those who disappointed often got ignored even criticized （批評(píng)）. Liu Xiang became a national hero at the 2004 Athens Olympics. But four years later at the Beijing Olympics, when an injury （受傷） forced him to give up running just before his first race, he was criticized.

Now, China is ready to welcome a sports star without a gold medal. Public attitudes toward competitive sports （競(jìng)技運(yùn)動(dòng)） and the Olympics have lifted to a higher level.
