Question

【题目】 When Cheryl was at primary school, nobody ever called her by her real name. There was always someone making fun of her size. That continued for several years and it made her feel upset.

But one day, when she was eleven, as she was building a tree house in her garden, Cheryl realized she had more physical power (体力) than all the boys. She could lift heavy things and do things that other kids couldn’t. So, she decided to try weightlifting.

Cheryl was really good at weightlifting, so her coach encouraged her to take part in competitions. Her talent began to shine. She holds every American record in her age group and she also won a bronze medal (铜牌) at the 2000 Olympic Games, when she was only sixteen.

Cheryl is not only strong but also crazy about her sport. She usually works out for three hours a day including Saturdays. However, this doesn’t mean that weightlifting is her only interest. Just like other teenagers, Cheryl enjoys spending her free time with friends and her two sisters. They don’t always go out, but when they do, they often go to the cinema or a seafood restaurant. Cheryl also likes drawing and painting and she’s a very talented artist. Her portraits (画像) made in pencil have won prizes in competitions.

Cheryl’s success has made her an idol, especially among oversized teenagers. She says, “Hopefully, I can set an example to other people who feel they are far from normal and encourage them to do things that are challenging. We’re not all going to be supermodels. I don’t want to look like that. What’s important is how you feel and how you act towards others.”
