The triathlon is a demanding sport. Many say that it is a real test of an athlete’s body and mind. It is difficult because it is three sports in one. It includes swimming for 13. 86 kilometers, bicycling for 180 kilometers, and running for 42. 2 kilometers. The top triathletes finish all three events in about 8 hours. This sport is a real challenge. First, it takes time to train for competitions. Some people spend up to 8 months training for the race. Second, it takes money to compete. The equipment is not cheap. Bicycles for this event can cost up to$10, 000. Top-quality swimming gear (用具) and running shoes are expensive. Third, athletes must have strong minds. It takes willpower (意志力) to push themselves to keep training to reach their goal. The triathlon is a recent sport. Triathlons began in California in the early 1970s. In 1978, competitors held the first professional triathlon race in Hawaii. In 1982, this race became famous because of the televised performance of Julie Moss. It was her first competition. Exhausted, she was running toward the finish line. Suddenly, 3 meters before the line, she fell down. She tried to get up, but she kept falling. She finally crawled (爬) across the finish line. She lost that year, but she tried again. Finally, in 1985, she won. This was the start of the triathlon's popularity. Today, triathlons are much more popular among ordinary athletes. People of all ages can compete, as long as they are in good physical condition. In fact, it has become a great family sport. Triathletes are special people who have time in their lives for careers (事业) and families. Most are highly educated and earn top salaries (薪水) in their jobs. Many triathletes are happily married. In fact, two-thirds of triathletes say that their training has a positive influence on their marriages.

The more you know about how colleges in the United States choose their students, the better chance you will have to get in. If you understand how to evaluate yourself, how to research schools, and how to see differences between one college and another, your chances will be very great. You will be choosing 10 or 12 colleges that you must get to know very well. You can read about them, research them online, and find other Chinese students at the school. You can email them about campus life. Find the email address of the admissions office on the college website and ask for the names and email addresses of other Chinese students. Try hard to keep an open mind, as you research the hundreds of colleges in the US. The more you learn what a particular college is like, even if you have never heard of it before, the more informed choices you will be able to make. That means collecting information from many sources(来源).It's easy to believe what others say, things like “Someone told me that Colorado College is too small,” and “Someone told me that Michigan is too big.” The truth is that every college has something for someone. There is no college that is wonderful for everyone. Not even the Ivy League schools(常春藤盟校)!Just because you have heard the name of a college does not mean it will be a good place for you. Just because you have not heard the name of a college does not mean that you will not like it. Look at four-year accredited(鉴定合格的) residential(住宿的) colleges where at least 75 percent of the students live on campus. You must apply to some that are easier to get into than others. The typical residential college of 2,000 students feels different from a state university of 20,000 students. Most colleges of 2,000 are communities where everyone gets to know each other, and professors spend a lot of time with the students. 【1】What is the author's main purpose in writing this article? A.To recommend some US colleges. B.To give tips on choosing US colleges. C.To tell readers how to get into Ivy League schools. D.To introduce some sources of information on US colleges. 【2】If you want to go to college in the US, you should____________. A.learn about as many colleges as you can B.compare US colleges with Chinese ones C.do a careful research before making a decision D.contact admissions officers for information about teachers 【3】According to the passage, you'd better apply for__________. A.Ivy League schools B.four-year accredited residential colleges C.state universities of around 20,000 students D.residential colleges with lots of Chinese students |

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。 Sally had trouble in speaking when she was in public. I'm a nurse and I love kids and dogs. I wanted to use my dog to bring her joy, comfort and confidence. That morning in January, her teacher led us to a room by the school office. “Sally hasn't spoken outside her home for two years, "she told me. “Her parents have taken her to doctors, but nothing has worked." Sally stood shyly just inside the doorway. Her eyes brightened when she noticed my dog. “It is my dog, Bella.” I said. “Would you like to play with her? Bella doesn't know anyone here and she'd like to meet you. She can understand my hand signals(手势). Would you like to see that?" Sally nodded. I showed Bella some hand signals, then Bella lay down and then rolled over. Sally was cheered up. “She'll do it for you too. I can teach you." I said. I could see that Sally treated Bella as her best friend and they were happy to stay with each other. Soon Bella was able to follow Sally's commands(指令). I could see something had been changed little by little. One morning, when she was playing with Bella, I heard a low voice “Good dog”. I wanted to jump for joy. Sally spoke a little more each week, only to Bella at first, but then to me. Later, she started giving voice commands with her hand signals and her confidence rose. Still, she hadn't spoken in her classroom. “Could you bring Bella to my class and show the other kids that she can understand your voice commands?” Sally asked me one day. An idea came to my mind. Then I said, “Why don't you do it yourself? I know you can." She agreed. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 应至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语； 3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1: Now, Sally stood nervously in front of her class, with Bella sitting by her side. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next week, she told me she wanted to try again, looking up at me with determination. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
