[学范文·背佳句]——它山之石,可以攻玉
[教材原文] [名师论道]
范文诠释 The Final SprintIt was the final sprint of the Santa Barbara XV Grand Prix cyclo cross race in Spain.①Fans lined the road to the finishing line,cheering on the competitors.Ismael Esteban,in third place,was just ahead of his competitor,Agustin Navarro,with only 300 metres to the finishing line.②Esteban had been cycling as hard as he could for hours and with the finishing line in sight all the cyclists began to speed up to cross it.Then,suddenly Esteban got a puncture.What should he do?Give up or continue?Esteban threw his bike over his shoulders and raced towards the finishing line.Just a few seconds later,fourth placed Navarro caught up with him.Surely,he could simply overtake Esteban and come third.But Navarro slowed down and let Esteban run ahead of him.The two cyclists reached the finishing line with Esteban ahead on foot,Navarro just behind him.Navarro had let Esteban finish in third place,while he came fourth.The audience was amazed at his show of sportsmanship and cheered and clapped for the cyclists.After the race,Navarro said,“I didn't want to win that way.”Later,Esteban,who won the bronze medal,tried to give his medal to Navarro.However,Navarro refused,and his response was:“Offering me the prize was worth more than what I did for him.”The two cyclists made amazing sporting gestures — Navarro for refusing to take advantage of Esteban's troubles,and Esteban for offering Navarro his medal.This was sportsmanship at its very best.

问马丁博士
我受够了总是生病。体育考试不及格也让我难堪。我的朋友建议我试试长跑。您觉得长跑有帮助吗?
杰瑞米,16岁
Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for your question.As people often say, any exercise is better than none, but long distance running in particular③ has a lot of benefits④.
It is a great sport for beginners — you do not need a gym membership⑤ or any special equipment⑥.Just a pair of good running shoes will do.Then, keep it up.There is also no better way to know yourself and to see what you are capable⑦ of.[2]
You are also somebody who worries about getting sick.[3]Running will help you get fit and prevent⑧ diseases⑨.It will give you good upper⑩ and lower body strength.Like any exercise, running increases the flow of blood and oxygen to your brain.It makes your heart stronger and allows more blood to flow around your body. It also strengthens your immune system and reduces the risk of serious health problems, as well as more common illnesses like colds.Besides, anybody who is feeling down can go for a run to cheer themselves up.Even a thirty minute run will provide relief from aches or tension that you may be suffering due to stress.[4]
If you are new to running,here is some advice for you — it is important to warm up and cool down properly before and after running[5], so you do not hurt yourself.A warm up gets your blood flowing and prepares your body before you exercise.After a long run, you should jog slowly for ten minutes, then walk for five minutes.Such kind of warm down relaxes your body after exercise.

嗨!杰瑞米:
感谢你的问题。正如人们常说的,运动总比不运动好,特别是长跑有很多益处。
对于初学者来说,这是一项很棒的运动——你不需要健身房会员或任何特殊的设备。只要一双好的跑鞋就行了。然后,坚持。跑步是了解自己最好的方法,看看自己能做到哪一步。
你像很多人一样,也担心自己有生病的风险。跑步会帮助你变得健康并预防疾病。它会让你拥有很棒的上肢和下肢力量。像任何运动一样,跑步会增加向大脑输送的血液和氧气的流动。它让你的心脏更强壮,并加速你全身的血液流动。它还能强化你的免疫系统,降低出现严重健康问题的风险,以及患常见疾病,例如感冒的几率。此外,心情低落的人可以选择跑步让自己振作起来。即使跑30分钟也能缓解你因压力而感到的疼痛或紧张。
如果你刚开始跑步,我有一些建议给你——跑步前和跑步后做适当的热身和放松活动很重要,这样你就不会伤到自己。热身会促进血液流动,在运动前让你的身体做好准备。长跑后,你应该再慢跑十分钟,然后步行五分钟。这种舒缓运动可以使你的身体在运动后得到放松。

致以最好的问候,
马丁博士
Three Principles of Running
Do the right amount . Draw up a training plan that is right for you. There are no shortcuts— no one can become a long distance runner overnight!Set achievable goals. For example, jogging for only twenty minutes to start with.Make sure you are running the right amount that your heart, muscles and bones can take without getting hurt.[6]
Keep running.Running trains your mind as well as your body. There will be times when you want to give up. But hang in there and tell yourself that it will get easier with time. Nothing gives one more satisfaction than realising that all the sweat and hard work were worth it in the end.[7]
Don't overdo it. Do not forget to take breaks. Training too much can be bad for your health, so make sure you do not overdo it.
[6]句中you are running the right amount that your heart, muscles and bones ...为省略that的宾语从句,宾语从句中又包含that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词amount,that在从句中作宾语。
[7]句中that引导宾语从句。
principle n.原则,基本的观念
amount n.数量,数额
shortcut n.捷径,近路
overnight adv.突然,一下子
achievable adj.可完成的;做得成的
make sure确保
muscle n.肌肉
bone n.骨头,骨
satisfaction n.满足,满意
sweat n.汗水
overdo vt.把……做得过火
[译文参考]
跑步三原则
适量。制定适合你自己的运动计划。跑步没有捷径——没人能在一夜之间成为长跑选手!设定能达到的目标。例如,先用二十分钟慢跑热身。确保运动量在心脏、肌肉和骨骼的承受范围之内,以免受伤。
坚持。跑步既可以锻炼身体,也能够磨炼意志。你会有很多次想放弃的念头。坚持住,告诉自己,随着时间推移,以后会变得轻松的。当你最终发现,所有的汗水和辛劳都是值得的,没什么比这更令人满足了。
不要过度运动。别忘了休息。过度训练对健康有害,所以切记不要过度运动。

M:Welcome to “How Can I Help?” where you ask me,Greg Hunter,for advice with your problems.Our number's 555 1234.So let's get down to business.Hello, what's your name
W:Hello, Greg.I'm Linda.I'm sixty years old and want to start exercising.I haven't exercised in twenty years, and I'm afraid I may hurt myself.
M:Linda, try walking for fitness, but take it slow at first.If you usually take the subway or the bus, why not get off two stops early and walk the rest of the way And try swimming regularly.It's great exercise and a lot of fun.
W:That's right, Greg, great advice.It's never too late to start exercising.
(Text 2)
M:What did you do yesterday, Mary
W:I watched the diving match at the Water Cube with my parents.
M:You like watching diving matches Why
W:Well, I like it because it's very interesting. When I watch it I feel very happy and excited.
M:So, who is your favorite diver
W:I am a fan of Guo Jingjing.
M:I see. When did you begin to like diving
W:About two years ago, when I was in Shanghai with my aunt. She often watched this kind of sporting event, and she introduced diving to me.
M:Do you want to be as good as Guo Jingjing
W:Of course. I hope to go to a sports university.
M:Does your school have this kind of sport
W:Yes. There are about 10 students on the diving team in my class.
M:That's great!
(Text 3)
M:Will you go to any evening classes at the community centre this year, Jess
W:Maybe.Is the badminton club running this year?I enjoyed that.
M:Yes, but it's on Mondays now, at 6:30.
W:That's a shame.I have to work late at the swimming pool on Mondays.I could go,but I'll arrive late.What's on Tuesdays?Is it tennis club again
M:No.That's on Wednesdays this year.On Tuesdays it's football.
W:Will you go
M:To football?No,but I might go to tennis.I've just read my college timetable.I have Spanish grammar classes all afternoon on Wednesday.My brain always feels really tired after those lessons, so I'll enjoy hitting a ball hard after that!
W:Then maybe I won't go to that!It sounds like it will be dangerous if you're there!Is there anything on Thursdays
M:Mr Brown is running his usual club again, just like last year.
W:Oh!Mr Brown's Thursday film club!I enjoyed that.We had some great discussions.
M:Yes,I'm hoping to do that this year too.And on Fridays, the local singing group will be upstairs and the guitar group is downstairs.
W:Oh,yes.I tried the singing group a few years ago,but the songs were quite boring.
M:Well, I guess I'll see you on Thursday evenings then!
W:Yes!
(Text 4)
W:Most of us don't know the fact that getting up early helps a lot in terms of health, as well as work.Let's welcome Doctor Green, who will tell us about some of the great benefits of rising early in the morning.
M:Hello, everybody.I'm glad to be here.I'm going to share three benefits of getting up early with you.Firstly, it makes your mind fresh.Getting up at about 6 am before sunrise will make your mind fresh.It can also reduce stress and therefore ensure that you are more healthy.The main benefit of rising early is that it gives you extra time to do things during the day.You can do a lot of work, and the work that you often put off due to lack of time can be done perfectly.Finally, waking up early also helps by giving you time to do exercise.As we all know, doing exercise helps us to maintain good health and a healthy mind.In other words, it can make you think positively, which, in turn, leads to a happy life.I hope you will start getting up early and make it a habit to lead a healthy and happy life.

5LESSON 1 THE UNDERDOG
Part 1
Paul and I were on① our school basketball team, The Lions.We loved basketball and were both huge② fans of the NBA.When we weren't playing on the court which was next to③ our building, we were watching a game on TV.My favourite player was LeBron James.Paul's favourite player was Tyrone Bogues, a guy④ who played for the Charlotte Hornets, although we actually agree that they are both champions⑤.[1]
Bogues was only 1.6 metres tall, which made him the shortest player ever in the NBA[2].Guess what Paul was only 1.6 metres tall, too! Paul knew that being shorter than other players meant that he had to practise more.[3] During all those hours of doing jump shots⑥ on his own, he used Bogues as⑦ his inspiration⑧.Paul once said,“If Bogues could make it⑨, why not me?”
Our coach was not so sure⑩.Paul had to try out many times just for making the team.He was still usually on the bench ,being just a replacement , which was really tough on him.[4] Everyone knew Paul had real skills, and was someone who worked really hard and had a strong desire to play for the team.[5] However, Paul didn't get a chance .
This week, The Lions were playing our main competitors ,The Bears, a team whose record this season had been perfect[6].They hadn't lost a single game.It would be a tough one.Paul didn't know he'd soon get the chance that he'd been waiting for .

第一部分
我和保罗都是学校狮子篮球队的队员。我们热爱篮球,都是NBA的超级球迷。我们不是在大楼附近的球场上打球,就是在电视上看比赛。我最喜欢的球员是勒布朗·詹姆斯。保罗最喜欢的球员是蒂尼·博格斯,博格斯为夏洛特黄蜂队效力。事实上,我们认为他们都是冠军。
博格斯身高只有一米六,是NBA历史上最矮的球员。你猜怎么着?保罗身高也只有一米六!保罗知道比其他球员矮意味着他必须加强练习。在他自己跳投的时候,他用博格斯激励自己。保罗曾经说过:“如果博格斯能做到,为什么我不能呢?”
我们的教练并不这么看。保罗多次参加选拔,方才入选球队。然而,他仍旧通常“坐板凳”作为替补队员,这对他来说是真够倒霉的。每个人都知道保罗有真本事,而且他非常努力,想为球队做贡献。然而,保罗没有机会。
本周,狮子队将与我们的劲敌熊队比赛。熊队在本赛季战绩堪称完美,他们没有输过一场比赛。这将是一场硬仗。保罗这时并不知道他很快就能拥有一直等待的机会。
Part 2
Suddenly, a player and I crashed into each other.Pain raced through my body.My knee hurt badly.The team gatheredaround, looking worried.[7]The last quarterwas about to begin, and my team was behind by 10 points.
“I don't think I can play anymore, coach,”[8]I said quietly as the doctor put an ice packon my knee[9].
“No way,” the coach replied sharply.“We've got no more players!”
“What about Paul?”someone suggested.
“Paul?”said the coach.“He can't play!”
“Give him a shot, coach!” I said.“What have we got to lose?”
“That's right,” another player said.“We're losing anyway.Let Paul play!”
“Let me try, coach! I won't let you down!” Paul said.
“OK, OK!” the coach finally agreed.“Don't let us down, Paul.It's your time to shine.”
Paul jumped up and rushed onto the court.And clearly, all the extra hours that he'd spent practising alone paid off.[10] The other team just couldn't keep up with his energy and speed.He made shot after shot, and the crowd couldn't stop clapping and cheering.
When the game ended, our team had won by two points.
“Well,”said the coach as he hit Paul on the shoulder, “you've just earned your place on the team, big guy!”
[7]looking worried为现在分词短语作伴随状语。
[8]I don't think为否定前移,意为“我认为我不……”。
[9]as引导时间状语从句,意为“当……时候”。
[10]that引导定语从句,修饰hours,在从句中作spend的宾语。

第二部分
突然,我和一名球员撞到了一起,疼痛在我身上迅速蔓延。我的膝盖受伤严重。队友们围在我身边,看起来很担心。最后一节即将开始,我们队已经落后10分。
当医生把冰袋放在我的膝盖上时,我平静地说:“我认为我不能继续上场了,教练。”
“不行,”教练斩钉截铁地回答,“我们没有别的球员了!”
“保罗怎么样?”有人建议。,“保罗?”教练说,“他不行!”
“给他个机会吧,教练!”我说,“我们还能损失什么呢?”
“没错,”另一名球员说,“不管怎样我们都要输了,让保罗上场吧!”
“让我试试吧,教练!我不会让你失望的!”保罗说。
“好吧,好吧!”教练最终同意了。“别让我们失望,保罗。你发光发亮的时刻到了。”
保罗跳起来冲上球场。显然,他所有额外时间的独自练习都得到了回报。对手队跟不上他的力量和速度。他的进球一个接一个,人群不停地鼓掌欢呼。
比赛结束时,我们队以两分的优势赢得了比赛。
“嗯,”教练一边拍着保罗的肩膀一边说,“你已经为自己赢得了球队中的位置,‘大个子’!”

Ⅰ.课文语法填空
Part 1
Paul and I were on our school basketball team, The Lions. We loved basketball and were both huge 1.fans (fan) of the NBA. My favourite player was LeBron James while Paul's favourite player was Tyrone Bogues. Paul was only 1.6 metres tall, as tall as Bogues. Paul knew that 2.being (be) shorter than other players meant that he had to practise 3.more (much). Paul always used Bogues as his 4.inspiration (inspire).
Our coach was not so sure. Trying out many times just 5.for making the team, Paul was still usually on the bench, being just 6.a replacement, which was really tough on him. Everyone knew Paul had real skills, 7.worked (work) really hard and had a strong desire 8.to_play (play) for the team. However, Paul didn't get a chance.
This week, The Lions were playing our main competitors, The Bears, a team 9.whose record this season had been perfect and who hadn't lost a single game. Paul didn't know he'd soon get himself 10.recognised (recognise).
Part 2
Suddenly, a player and I crashed 1.into each other. My knee hurt badly. The team gathered around, looking 2.worried (worry) . The last quarter was about 3.to_begin (begin), and my team was behind by 10 points. I told quietly to the coach that I couldn't play anymore and we recommended (推荐) Paul. The coach refused 4.sharply (sharp) at first but finally agreed. Paul made a promise 5.that he wouldn't let the coach down.
Paul jumped up and rushed onto the court. And clearly, all the extra 6.hours (hour) that he 7.had_spent (spend) practising alone paid off. The other team just couldn't keep up with his energy and speed. He made shot after shot, and the crowd couldn't stop 8.clapping (clap) and cheering. When the game ended, our team had won by two points.The coach hit Paul on 9.the shoulder and said that he'd earned 10.his (he) place on the team.
Ⅱ.讨论

I_think_what_he_did_was_right._We_all_have_difficulties_in_our_lives._The_most_important_is_to_make_full_preparations_before_we_finally_get_the_chance.
(2)What would you do if you were Paul (Answers may vary.)
