       It was lunch time at the office.   "I'm going to the drug store (杂货店)," Barbara said. "Would   anyone like something?"   
       "Could you pick up a few rolls (卷) of color film? I'm going on   vacation next week, and I plan on taking lots of pictures," said Jean.     
    Jean gave Barbara some money, and told her what kind of film she   wanted. Barbara went to drug store and bought some things for herself,   and the film for Jean. When Barbara returned to the office, Jean was   gone.   
       "She had to leave early today," said Jean's friend Edna. "She had   to go to the travel bureau (旅行社). She told me to put the film on   ice."   "On ice?" asked Barbara.     
    The night, Barbara put Jean's film in her freezer (冰箱). The next   morning, the film had ice and frost (霜) around the boxes it was   packaged in. Barbara put it in a paper bag and brought it to the   office.   
       "Here's your film, Jean," said Barbara, as Jean walked into the   office.   
       "Thanks", Jean took the film out of the bag. "Hey, what happened   to this film? It's all cold and wet."     "That's from the freezer," answered Barbara. "Edna told me that   you said to put the film on ice. So I did."     
    Jean burst out laughing.   
       "What's so funny?" asked Barbara.     Finally, Jean managed to say, "Oh, Barbara, I didn't mean for you   to freeze the film. I just wanted you to hold it for me!"

Twenty-six years after a terrible bicycle accident left her comatose(昏迷) for two months and with permanent brain injuries, Barbara Buchan, performs many actions more slowly than others. But on September 10 in Beijing, Buchan, at 52, the oldest member of the United States Paralympic team, broke the record and won the gold medal for her disability class in the individual 3,000-meter cycling pursuit.

“You can be very upset at the world and have everyone take care of you,” Buchan said by telephone from Beijing, “or get back on your feet again.”

Buchan first dreamed of Olympic gold at age 15 while watching the 1972 Munich Games. She became a top American cyclist by July 1982, when a terrible road-race crash injured her brain and left doctors doubtful about whether she would survive. She was wearing only a soft leather helmet at the time; her accident made the rule put into practice that cyclists wear the hard-shell helmets that are now common.

Buchan recovered enough of her athletic ability to run track in the 1988 Paralympics in Seoul, where she won a silver medal in the 800 meters. Women’s cycling was not included in the Paralympics yet, so Buchan trained to the point where she raced against men in the 2000 Paralympics in Sydney, Australia — she finished 9th and 10th in two races — and then successfully fought for a separate women’s cycling program beginning in 2004 in Athens, where she did not get a medal.

Even though she was approaching her 50s, Buchan kept racing and again made the United States Paralympic team for Beijing — where she is twice the age of most of her teammates and competitors.

“Barbara’s almost the leader of our team — she’s been through it all,” said Craig Griffin, the United States cycling coach. “She’s never retired. She’s never let her body go and then come back. I don’t think age is as big of a deal as people make it out to be.”
