A
Michael Phelps and his U.S. teammates crowned the greatest single Olympic performance Sunday morning with a win in the 4×100-meter medley relay(混合泳接力).
The victory gave Phelps his eighth gold medal of the Beijing Olympics, the most golds ever won by an athlete at one Games. With gold No. 8, Phelps earned an unusual place in the Olympic record books.
"There is no comparison in the swimming world for what Michael has done," said Gregg Troy, coach of U.S. swimmer Ryan Lochte, who finished third to Phelps in two races here in Beijing but also won gold alongside him in the 4×200-meter freestyle relay. It's hard to find comparisons even in the sports world overall. Phelps is solidly in the company of seemingly undefeatable superstars such as Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods.
"I think years and years down the road we'll realize more and more how amazing he is and how special he really is." U. S. teammate Natalie Coughlin said. The 23-year-old from Baltimore capped a brilliant meet at the Water Cube. He set a world record in every event aside from the 100 butterfly which he narrowly won on Saturday, completing a program of 17 races in nine days.
Phelps has won 14 Olympic gold medals and 16 total medals. He holds the record for most medals won by a man, surpassing Soviet gymnast Nikolai Andrianov, who won 15 from 1972-1980. Soviet female gymnast Larysa Latynina holds the record with 18.
At the 2004 Athens Games, Phelps won six gold medals and two bronze. He has already said he'll swim in the 2012 London Games. Phelps' victories in Beijing include: 200-meter freestyle, 200 and 400 individual medleys, 100 and 200 butterfly, 4×200 free relay, 4×100 medley relay, and 4×100 free relay.

A.Phelps Plans To Attend 2012 London Games

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

  Nick Goldsmith remembers the moment he decided to become a hospice(收容所)volunteer.His mother was telling him a story about a friend who worked at a hospice, about how one day, she was walking past a patient's door when the patient cried out to her.But there was nothing wrong, he only wanted some companionship.He didn't want to be alone, so she sat with him.Goldsmith thought to himself, "There's no reason I can't do that."

  Not only did he do it, but he started a student volunteer program at Dowling Catholic High School to ensure the work he started at Taylor House Hospice will continue after he graduates.Last month, Iowa Health Hospice honored Goldsmith, 18, for his volunteer work with the organization by naming a $500 annual scholarship for him, which will be open to any student who volunteers with Iowa Health Hospice.

  “ That was by far the least we could do to recognize Nick, " Susie Flood said."He hasn't just given of his own time and energy, but he's encouraged others to do the same." Goldsmith hadn't had any experience with hospice before entering the door of Taylor House.He chose it because his mother's friend, whose story had forced him to volunteer, works there.

  "They're really excited about my being there and there's a real need for teen volunteers, " Goldsmith said."The principal at Dowling approved my being able to offer service hours to anyone who would like to volunteer." Students must earn a certain number of service, or community-service, hours to graduate from Dowling.

  When Goldsmith leaves Des Moines next fall to attend college, he'll give up leading the hospice service-learning program."I want us, as Dowling students, to keep making a difference, " he said.'It's easy to talk about things you can do to help people,, but what many teenagers don't realize is how good it can make you feel inside."
