Nowadays we live in a global village, and many difficulties will arise if we can’t express ourselves fluently in English.

In spite of my awareness of its importance,I seldom find chances to practice and improve my oral English.So,I am still very weak with regard to this respect.One reason is that my pronunciation and intonation aren’t good enough.The other is that I am so shy that I am always too nervous to find other exact words to express my ideas and feelings.As a result the best way for me to do is to remain silent when others are practicing and making great progress in their oral English every day.

Now I am attaching much more importance to oral English and I have made up my mind to seize every opportunity to parctice. I begin to participate activities,such as going to “English Corners”,talking in English with my classmates and with native speakers. “Nothing is difficult in the world if you really put your heart to it.”as the Chinese saying goes.If I can build up my confidence,if I am not afraid of losing face any more,if I really work hard on it,I am sure my oral English will be excellent someday

In the fall of 1985．I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere．Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell．
My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college an the age of 65．She was the first in our family to reach that goal．But one year after I started college, she developed cancer．I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her．It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait．
Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children．In 1999, we adopted our first son．To lay eyes on him was fantastic---and very emotional．A year later came our second adopted boy．Then followed son No．3．In 2003, I gave birth to another boy．
You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8! Our home was a complete zoo---a joyous zoo．Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time．But I never gave up on the dream either．I had only one choice: to find a way．That meant talking as few as one class each semester．
The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys．They often wanted me to stay home with them．There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives．
In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina．It took me over 21 years to get my college degree！
I am not special, just single-minded．It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal．Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day．It’s a process．Remember: little steps add up to big dreams．

But the 40 is clear: We live in a society today that is 41 our childhood. We no longer have many years to be careless and fancy-free. We are expected to 42 the strict school rules and to excel（擅长）in everything we do.

I’ve known these things for a long time, and knew that they 43 me. But, I never really admitted it until last night, when I learned a 44 lesson, taught to me by my boss where I work. We had finished a job at a remote site. It was about 11:30 at night, and we had 45 to his house. We were talking about the 46 he had been making to his home. One of the things he said was “I 47 my basketball hoop（篮圈）. ”Then he threw a basketball to me.

I hadn’t 48 a basketball in five years.

We proceeded to shoot hoops for about 5 minutes. Both of us were terribly bad at it, but we spent the whole time 49 like children. Then I realized something: I am still a child. Oh, the law says I’m an adult. But, we are still really and truly children. We all need to have 50_ once in a while.

After the Summer Olympics are over, when all the athletes have gone home and

the television audience has switched off, another group of athletes and fans will arrive at the host city, and another competition will begin. These are the Paralympics, the games for athletes with a disability. But in Beijing in 2008, for the first time, one of the greatest Paralympies will not be taking part.

She is a British athlete by the name of Tanni Crey-Thormpson. Born with spine

hifida (脊椎裂) which left her paralysed from the waist down. Tanni used a

wheelchair from the age of 7. At first, she was not keen on sport, apart from

horse-riding, which gave her a sense of freedom. But in her teens, she started taking

sports more seriously. She tried swimming, basketball and tennis. Eventually she

found athletics, and never looked back.

Indeed, Tanni's athletic career took off. In 1984, whenshe was 15, she pulled off a surprise victory in the 100 metres at the Junior National Wheelehair Games. In 1988,Tanui went to her first Paralympic Games in Seoul. She won bronze in the 400 metres.Even greater success followed at the 1992 Barcelona. Paralympics. Tanni won gold in the 100,200,400 and 800 metres relay, setting two world records in the process. In the same year she achieved she first of her six London Wheelchair Marathon

victories.

Tanni's enduring success had been part motivation, part preparation, "The

training I do enables me to be a good sprinter (短跑运动员) enables me to be good at a marathon too. I train 50 weeks of the year and that keeps me prepared for whatever

distance I want to race I am still competing at a very high lever, but as I get older things get harder and I want to retire before I fall apart."

Indeed Tanni retired finally after the Visa Paralympic World Cup in 2007. Her

wish is to coach young athletes for Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

In spite of ups and downs, she never takes her fate lying down. In her splendid

life, she has won an amazing eleven gold medals, four silvers and one bronze in series

of Paralympics--a top lever athletic career covering two decades. She has won the

London Wheelchair Marathon six times, more than any other competitor, and she has

set over thirty world records.

What advice does she have for young athletes? "Work hard at your studies, and

then train, train and train again."

46. Which of the following sports did Tanni like before thirteen?

A. Basketball B. Swimming. C. Tennis. D. Horse-riding.

47. When did Tanni win her first Olympic gold medal?_
