Many of us have heard of the saying: everything is possible if you can just believe. But few of us really know the power of faith and perseverance. South African swimmer Natalie du Toit embodies those virtues. Du Toit became the first swimmer to compete in both the Olympic Games and the Paralympics(残奥会) in Beijing. Although she finished 16th in the tough 10 km marathon in the able-bodied Games, she has collected three gold medals in the Paralympics so far.
One of the most successful disabled athletes of all time, Natalie du Toit was already a promising swimmer when she lost her leg in a motorcycle accident in 2001,at just 17.
“There are a lot of dark moments,” Du Toit said.“There are some days when I cry. But I try to remember that better days are ahead. You just go on.”
Within a few months, she was back in the swimming pool.
She still competed and still succeeded. The only difference was that she had switched to longer events—from the 200m and 400m individual medley to the 800m and 1,500m freestyle—to make up for her loss of speed with only one leg. But she made no adjustment to her mental outlook.
“Going out in the water, I feel as if there??s nothing wrong with myself. It doesn??t matter if you look different. You??re still the same as everybody else because you have the same dream.”
She is the owner of many world records, and she also won gold when competing against able-bodied swimmers in the 1,500m freestyle at the All Africa Games in 2007.
But there is no magic recipe for success. It all comes down to hard work and determination.“She is stubborn, which is good and bad,” said her coach Karoly von Toros. “Good for the swimming, but bad for the coach.”
There is a poem that hangs on her wall that reads: The tragedy of life does not lie in not reaching your goals; The tragedy of life lies in not having goals to reach.
1.Natalie du Toit is a vivid example that . A.you are what you believe B.your biggest enemy is yourself
C.results are not so important as the process D.you must set reasonable goals or you will fail
2.The underlined word “embodies ”in the first paragraph means “ ”. A.makes
B.creates
C.represents D.introduces
3.According to the text, Natalie du Toit became . A.the first athlete to compete with able-bodied swimmers in the world
B.the youngest disabled swimmer to break the world record in the 1,500m freestyle C.the youngest disabled swimmer to collect three gold medals in a single Paralympics D.the first swimmer to compete in both the Olympic Games and the Paralympics 4. Which of the following is the correct order of the events that happened to Natalie du Toit?
a. She won gold at the All Africa Games.
b. She finished 16th in the tough 10 km marathon in the Olympics. c. She adjusted herself to long events. d. A motorcycle accident disabled her. A.cdab B.dcba C.dcab D.dacb Ⅴ.语法填空
