　　(From Wikipedia)Michael Fred Phelps, born on June 30, 1985, is an American swimmer．He has won 14 career Olympic gold medals, the most by any Olympian．As of 2008, he also holds seven world records in swimming．

　　Phelps holds the record for the most gold medals won at a single Olympics with the eight golds he won at the 2008 Olympic Games．With this record, he surpassed Mark Spitz, who was also a swimmer and had held the previous gold medal total with the seven that he won at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games．

　　Overall, Phelps has won 16 Olympic medals：six gold and two bronze at Athens in 2004, and eight gold at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing．In winning these medals, he has twice equaled Soviet gained Alexander Dityatin's record of eight medals(of any type)at a single Olympics; Dityatin gained eight at the 1980 Summer Olympics, while Phelps won eight medals at both the 2004 Summer Olympics and the 2008 Summer Olympics．Out of his eight gold medals from Beijing, five were won in individual events, tying the record for individual gold medals at a single Games originally set by Eric Heiden in the 1980 Winter Olympics and equaled by Vitaly Scherbo at the 1992 Summer Games．Phelps ranks second in total career Olympic medals, after Soviet gymnast Larissa Latynina, who won a total of 18 medals(nine gold)spanning three Olympic Games．

　　Throughout the 2008 Olympics, Phelps was questioned by the press if perhaps his achievements were “too good to be true”, a reference to unsupported rumors that Phelps may be taking performance enhancing drugs．In response, Phelps noted that he had signed up for Project Believe, a project by the United States Anti-Doping Agency in which U．S．Olympians can volunteer to be tested in excess of the World Anti-Doping Agency guidelines．During the Games, Phelps was tested nine times, and passed all of them．

Haisong Jiang, who slipped (偷偷溜进) past a security checkpoint(安全关卡) on Jan. 3, causing a shutdown of Newark Airport, tried to apologize for his mistake.
" I feel guilty about this serious mistake. At that moment, I was very excited with my girlfriend, and I didn't think too much," Mr. Jiang, 28, said Tuesday in his first interview since causing the six-hour shutdown at the airport.
On Tuesday, Newark Municipal Court judged that besides the community service, he must pay a $500 fine (罚金) and $158 in court fees. In an agreement between the court and Mr. Jiang's lawyer, Mr. Jiang will pay off his money punishment all by community service instead.
　　Haisong Jiang, a native of China, about a year ago moved to the United States in 2004 to study and met his girlfriend, also Chinese and 26. She has since moved to California.
The lovebirds did the town over the Christmas holidays: shopping in SoHo, visiting the tree at Rockefeller Center, celebrating New Year's Eve in Times Square - the works. On Jan. 3, he watched her pass through security, but he wanted to spend more time with her. When he noticed the officer leave his post, he saw his chance, he said. He slipped under the rope and kissed her and, arm in arm, walked her to her Continental Airlines gate and saw her onto the jetway. "And immediately I left," he said.
　　Three days passed. "Friday, the police found me," the future scientist said. He was at the gym when his roommate called to say two police officers were at their home. "It's not right to enter the airport. Immediately I know the police want to ask me this thing."
　 He expects to serve half of his community service in a soup kitchen - "I like to cook" - and the other half in a hospital. He plans on moving to California to be with her and work in a laboratory after completing his degree in May or June.
He never types his name into search engines on the Net: the number of hits is shocking.
What’s the best title of the passage?
A. A moving love story B. An escape from security check
C. A kiss causing great trouble D. When a man loves a woman
How much did Mr. Jiang finally pay for his mistake?
A. nothing B. $ 500 C. $158 D. $ 658
Which of the following sentences is true?
A. Mr. Jiang was sent to the police station right after he went out of the airport.
B. The lovebirds spent their Christmas holidays in California.
C. Mr. Jiang caused so much trouble on purpose.
D. On Friday, the police didn’t find Mr. Jiang at his home at first.
What can you infer from the passage?
A. Mr. Jiang is an American-Chinese.
B. Mr. Jiang and his girlfriend’s love story has finally ended.
C. Many people have known about Mr. Jiang on the net.
D. Mr. Jiang will become a scientist with certainty.

Getting to the top is hard enough but staying there is an even greater challenge. And so it could be argued that the 10th World Championship 400m victory by Tonique Williams Darling is even more remarkable than when she struck Olympic gold in 2004.

Coming off the final turn the 27-year-old from the Bahamas held off the attack of both Sanya Richards (USA) and the former World champion Ana Guevara of Mexico displaying a hunger that permanent champions must have.

"I would say that being able to pull off the Olympic title and then come back a year later and pull off the World Championship title has just been a miler coaster (过山车) experience for me," she revealed. "It's really an historical moment for me and for the Bahamas, just to be able to do something like this. And so I feel really humbled and grateful and just overjoyed right now."

"It is not an easy experience. I will tell you, definitely, that in the off-season it was just a struggle to go out there every day and practice because coming off the top races and after the Olympics experience you are just kind of worn out mentally. It's not even physical. So you just go with the season, and work through it, and by the time, like two weeks away from this competition, I was hungry again and ready to be competitive."

Williams Darling credits a support group of friends and family, her husband, Bahamian 400m runner Denis Darling, with keeping her grounded when the natural tendency would be to celebrate and then rest on one's laurels (桂冠，荣誉), Most importantly she credits her Christian faith.

"My life has changed a little bit (since winning the Olympics) but as far as the competition and training it hasn't changed that much,' she declares. "One thing I have tried to do is to train like I have never won anything before. And I think that it was achieved because I could have been lackadaisical (无精打采的) and blown off the season or whatever. I just stayed in there and knew that everybody else was coming after me. That really helped me to stay motivated this season."
