　　Growing up is not always easy．When we face difficulties, a spirit of depending on yourself is more useful than crying for help．That’s what Hong Zhanhui’s story of growing from boy to man with family hardship tells us．

　　Hong was born in 1982 in a poor family in Xihua County(县), Henan Province．When he was only 11, his father became badly ill and one day he came back with an unwanted baby girl．A year later, Hong’s mother left home．She no longer wanted to live such a poor life and face her sick husband．So everything hard fell onto the young boy’s shoulders：to take care of his father and the sister Chenchen, and to go on to study．

　　Although his life was hard, Hong didn’t go away from his father and sister．He worked in part－time jobs to feed his family．He climbed tall trees to get birds’eggs for his sister．He walked two hours at weekends to the market to buy different things to sell around his school．A few years later, he studied at a college．To take care of Chenchen, he worked hard to rent(租)a room near his college for her, and send her to school．

　　After Hong’s story went public, he became a hero in people’s eyes．But Hong refused offers from others．He said he felt encouraged by kind offers, but he could depend on his own work．

　　Through his hard life, he has grown up from boy to man．

　　Most people can think of a sport they would love to see in the Olympics．But they often don’t realize how hard it is to add a sport to the Olympics．A sport needs to be well-organized and popular before the Interracial Olympic Committee(IOC)will consider it．An international federation must govern(控制)the sport by making rules and making sure athletes meet Olympic standards(标准)．What’s more, men from at least 75 countries and women from at least 40 must play the sport．

　　However, even meeting those conditions isn’t enough．The IOC always tries to keep the member of athletes at about 10, 000 for each Olympics．Since most modern Olympics already include so many athletes, introducing a new sport often means cutting other events．

　　The country that hosts the games is allowed to suggest what new sports should be included．While new sports are added to the Olympics, most of them will simply become events in another sports meeting．In Beijing, open water swimming will become part of swimming, while women’s steeplechase(障碍赛)will be added to athletics．

任务一：根据文章内容，完成下列任务：

1．How can a sport be added to the Olympics?从短文中找出三个条件．
