OLYMPIA, March 24—Luo Xuejuan, a swimming gold medalist at the Athens 2004 Olympic Games, became the first Chinese person to relay the Olympic Flame in Greece on Monday, receiving the flame from the first Olympic torchbearer(火炬手), Greek Alexandros Nikolaidis.

She talked about the great responsibility that she felt, as she believed she was representing every Chinese athlete and even Chinese person by running her leg of the relay.
Regarding missing the torch lighting ceremony because she had to be in an assigned location to wait for the flame, Luo felt no regret. “Even though I couldn’t see it, I was able to feel the flame light and knew that it was happening at a place nearby,” she said.

　　Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger(施瓦辛格)muscled aside an unpopular governor last week to win control of California, America's biggest and richest state．Now the former bodybuilder and actor faces the much bigger test of dealing with the state's huge debts and proving to America that he is a real politician．

　　Charming and famous, but with no political experience, few thought Schwarzenegger would realize his goal of becoming governor．But when he sets himself a challenge, he often succeeds．

　　“Every New Year's Day he'd write down some goals,” said Barbara Baker, his former girlfriend．“He achieved almost every single one of them．”

　　Born in a village in post-war Austria in 1947, Schwarzenegger is remembered as a silent boy who set his mind on developing his muscles．

　　“His only interest was in shaping his body to become Mr Universe,” said his first trainer．

　　He ended up winning 13 titles, including Mr Olympia and Mr World．He first came to America in 1968 and worked as a brick-layer before becoming a successful businessman．But this wasn't enough; he wanted to be a movie star too．His first few films weren't hits．However, when he took the lead role in the successful 1982 film” Conan the Barbarian”(野蛮人科南), Schwarzenegger the star was born．He went on to appear in many hit films, including “ The Terminator”(终结者)．

　　“I knew I was a winner．I knew I was destined for great things．” He once wrote．He has often said he was born to lead, so it was natural he would be interested in politics．Although he has not run for office before, he has done much volunteer(义务的)work．In 1995 he started an after-school care foundation(基金会)now active in 15 cities．It encourages poor children to take part in educational, cultural and community programs, as well as computer and sports activities．

　　However, many people think this challenge will be a step too far Schwarzenegger．“I'm not sure he knows how hard it is to run a state this size,” said State Senate(参议院)leader John Burton．
