Every sport has its great legends:soccer has Pele, basketball has Michael Jordan, and tennis, Steffi Graf.Is there one athlete who people consider to be the best ever? Many would say that person is boxer Muhammad Ali, known to his many fans as ‘the greatest.’
Ali was born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1942.At the age of twelve, after his bike was stolen, young Ali began boxing; by the time he reached high school, he was a great amateur(业余)boxer.After winning six state and two national boxing championships, he competed in the 1960 Olympic, where he won a gold medal.That same year, at the age of eighteen, he became a professional boxer.
From the start of his career it was clear that Ali was different from other athletes.He was outspoken, confident, strong-willed and talked publicly about himself and his beliefs(信仰).The man who called himself ‘the greatest’ still faced many challenges, though.After winning his Olympic gold medal, he returned home to the United States.He was not allowed to stay in certain hotels or eat in certain restaurants because of the color of his skin.Ali was disgusted(反感)with racism in the U.S., so he threw his Olympic medal into a river.
In 1964, Ali beat Sonny Liston to become the world heavyweight champion.Ali surprised the world again in 1966, not for his boxing skills, but for his political beliefs.He disagreed with the U.S.war in Vietnam and refused to join the army, which all young men in the U.S.had to do at the same time.As a result, Ali’s heavyweight title was taken away, and he was sent to prison for five years.
Ali retired(退休)from boxing in 1981, ending a career of sixty-one fights, of which he won fifty-six.In 1996, he was recognized as a sporting hero at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Atlanta.The crowd at the Game cheered as Ali, now suffering from Parkinson’s disease, lit the Olympic flame-no longer the strongest, but still the greatest.
Many people think that Abraham Lincoln was one of the greatest presidents in the history of the USA. He passed laws against slavery(奴隶制) and kept the United States united.
Lincoln was born in a poor family in 1809. His father was a carpenter(木匠) and farmer. Lincoln often played the piano when he was a child. And he was so interested in reading that he always borrowed books from his neighbours.
In 1830, Lincoln moved to Illinois, one of the states of America. From 1834 to 1840 he was a member of the Illinois government. He had many jobs in Illinois. At the same time, he studied to become a lawyer. And he became one in 1836 and was very successful.
From 1846 to 1849, he was a member of the US government. He spoke against slavery. From 1849 to 1860, he made a great many of his famous speeches.
In 1861, Lincoln became the 16th president of the United States. In 1862, he announced the end of slavery.
In 1865 Lincoln was shot by Wilkes Booth. Booth hated Lincoln because Lincoln had passed laws freeing the slaves.
People remember Lincoln for a great many things. He helped end slavery in the United States. He won the Civil War and kept the United States united. He also gave many speeches and wrote many famous letters. He is also famous because he came from a poor family, but through hard work, became President of the United States.
