Despite losing the final at the Australian open, 28-year-old Chinese tennis player Li Na is popular in
the foreign media. This is related not only to her identity as the first Asian to play in a Grand Slam singles
finals, but also her courtside humor and merry personality. Li represents the image of the Chinese people.
Every successful athlete, on certain occasions, becomes a symbol of his or her nation. Previously,
Chinese sports players had a strong sense of "representing China", and often appeared conservative(保
守的) and overcautious. Foreign journalists used to find it hard to distinguish among Chinese athletes due
to their lack of individuality in their eyes. Li is breaking that traditional image.
Li's impressive performance on the court was driven by her own personality and it represents a social
change in China during the past two decades. Mainly, the constraints (约束) on self-expression have
been shaken off. This straightforward girl represents a different China that allows her to "just be herself".
Some foreign media outlets regard Li as a "Chinese tennis rebel(叛逆)". She wears a rose tattoo on
her chest and employs her husband as personal coach; she first thanked her sponsor at the award
ceremony, and even asked the chair referee during the tense second set: "Can you tell the Chinese not to
teach me how to play tennis?"
In fact, such "rebelliousness" didn't upset the Chinese, because they've been fed up with clich?s(陈词
滥调)like "thank my leaders" or "thank my comrades". Furthermore, being reminded to behave with
great care is probably the last thing they want while watching a game.
Chinese society and its people need to relax. They need a little humor and open-mindedness to cope
with small mistakes, and imperfection should be allowed from time to time. Being excessively "correct"
can lead to untruthfulness and pressure. China is not as "correct" as it was in the past. However, isn't this
China more lovely and real?

阅读理解。 信息匹配。 下面是美国著名游记作家Bill Bryson的几本作品,首先请阅读它们的封面信息:
1. In this collection, Bill Bryson is writing from home. We find he assesses life both in New England and in the contemporary United States. With the telescopic perspective (远望视角) of one who has stepped out of the American mainstream and comes back after 20 years, Bryson holds the mirror up to US culture and feels strange to his motherland. 2. This book is a guide to the world’s unspoilt sights and experiences. It presents one thousand fresh and fascinating alternatives to hundreds of well-known tourist destinations and sights, including alternatives to the Carnival in Rio and the beaches of Thailand, the most-visited national parks, overrated restaurants and holiday sites. 3. Returning to the US after 20 years in England, Bill Bryson decided to reconnect with his mother country by hiking the length of the 2, l00-mile Appalachian Trail. Awed by merely the camping section of his local sporting goods store, he still goes into the wilderness and learns hard lessons about self-reliance. 4. A travelogue by Bill Bryson is as close to a sure thing as funny books get. This book is no exception. Following an urge to rediscover his youth, the author leaves his native Des Moines, Iowa, in a journey that takes him to across 38 states in the country, which is like a small town in his opinion. 5. Born in Iowa, Bryson backpacked through Europe as a young man. While living in England some 20 years later, he revisited many of the same places from Arctic Norway' s northern lights to romantic Capri in Italy. Here he jumps back and forth between old memories and new experiences. |
