3
Read paragraphs 1-4. Complete the information in the table. Then describe the writer’s situation to your partner.
The situation the writer faces Things she gives up as an Olympic athlete
Her friends’ worries and her reactions
The fears she faces on a daily basis
Birthday parties, family holidays, nights out
She will lose her friends;
She knew they were right.
Whether she is pushing the limits too much;
whether she is being selfish.
4
Answer the questions based on what you have read.
1. Did her friend understand her Why
No, he didn’t, because he was afraid that when she reached the top she would have no friends.
2. Did the writer get angry with her friend Did she try to explain Why
No, she didn’t, because she knew what her friend said was right and she was pushing the limits too hard. She didn’t try to explain because most people would not understand.
3. Was she clear about why she had chosen to be an athlete How do you know
Yes, she was. From the description of her sacrifice we could know she is a “go-getter” with an enormous amount of drive and determination to be the best. We can see that through her descrpitions such as “running a family holiday because of the endless search for a swimming pool to train in”, “almost missed my brother’s wedding because I was busy hiring a car and driving through the ‘no go’ area in order to do a group ride with the local triathletes.”
5
Read paragraphs 5-8. Identify the reasons why the writer was able to get to the top. Use a diagram to illustrate and talk about your analysis.
Reasons：
get ahead on class work rather than go out and play
get the bus on her own at ten years old
go to swim 100 lengths of the pool while other kids played pool games
the only girl in a rugby club of 250 boys
6
Read the article again. What do the phrases or sentence refer to in the article
a very good reason (line 3)
on a day-to-day basis (line 12)
The list is endless (line 19)
an enormous amount of drive and determination (line 20)
three or four outstanding years of winning stuff (line 37-38)
Answers:
“A very good reason” refers that “it takes a lot to be at the top”. “On a day-to-day basis” refers to every day. “The list is endless” refers to “countless birthday parties and nights out I have missed, ruining a family holiday in France because of the endless search for swimming pool to train in, almost missing my brother’s wedding because I was too busy hiring a car in downtown Johannesburg and driving through the ‘no-go’ araes in order to do a group ride with the local triathletes.”
“An enormous amount of drive and determination” refers that “from a small girl, I would stay in at lunch time just to get ahead on class work rather than go out and play; I would get the bus on my own at ten years old and go to swim 100 lengths of the pool while other kids played pool games; I was the only girl in a rugby club of 250 boys. I have always lived my life to extremes.” “Three or four outstanding years of winning stuff” refers that “if your dream is to be the best and reach the winner’s platform, You had better be totally committed to your sport.”
7
Which statements do you think are true according to the article Why
Identifying Real Information
Sometimes, a task may contain questions with unreliable information or in accurate interpretation. It is important to know how to identify what information is accurate (true) and what is inaccurate (false).
Read the text to get the general idea.
Then read the questions / statements and identify important words.
Find the relevant part of the text and identify the important words.
Decide if the important words in the questions / statements and the text express the same idea.
Skill Builder
1. The writer is a professional triathlete. ( )
2. Her first sport was rugby.
3. At first, she was afraid to join the rugby club because it had 250 boys.
Because the writer says “These are the fears I face as a professional athlete on a day-to-day basis.” And she also mentions swimming and riding.
4. She missed many birthday parties, ruined family holidays and skipped nights out for the sport she devoted herself to. ( )
5. What makes an Olympic champion stand out from other competitors is the special talent she or he has.
Because the writer says “I miss birthday parties, ruin family holidays and skip nights out” and “missing my brother’s wedding...in order to do a group ride with the local triathletes”.
6. Although she knows that her way of life is unbalanced or unhealthy, she is determined to continue. ( )
Because we can see from “It is certainly not a balanced way to live and it is certainly not normal but those words are generally not used for anyone who is striving for greatness.”
8
Group Work. Think and share.
1. What are the three most important reasons why the writer was able to get to the top
The first important reason is that she was born with a enormous amount of drive and determination (in para 5). The second important reason is that she has always lived her life to extremes, whatever it is she is applying herself to (in para 6). The third reason is that as a professional athlete she is prepared to do that little extra in her preparation that sets her apart from her competitors (in para 8)
2. What’s opinion about the writer’s attitude and commitment to the profession she has chosen
I think she will get to the top because she has so much commitment to the profession she has chosen and she is so determined to be the best.

Unit 2 SUCCESS
课文回顾：
He was worried that I had no longer become fun to train with and that I was in danger of being left with only a world championship medal and no one to share it with.
句意：他担心和我一起训练不再是一件愉悦的事情，担心我处于只剩下世界冠军的奖牌无人可以分享的危险境地。
that引导宾语从句时，只起连接词的作用，不充当句子成分，通常可以省略。但是连接两个并列表示陈述意义的宾语从句时，前一个that可以省略，第二个that通常不省略。
例句：
1. The boy realized that he got lost in the forest and that he must solve the problem on his own.
男孩意识到他在森林中迷路了，他必须自己解决这个问题。
2. They told me that they couldn’t make a decision and that they hoped for my advice.

Don’t they know how hard it is to be at the top in sport
句意：他们不知道到达运动界的巅峰有多么艰难吗？
how hard it is to be at the top in sport 是一个how引导的宾语从句，在宾语从句中，it作形式主语，不定式 to be at the top in sport是真正的主语。
1. it 用作形式主语，不定式作真正主语的句型：
It + be + 形容词 + 不定式.
It + be + 名词 + 不定式.
It + 动词 + 宾语 + 不定式.
It + be + 介词短语 + 不定式.
2. 在“It is /was + adj. +for / of sb. to do sth.” 结构中：若形容词侧重于评价人物的特性，特征，则构成不定式复合结构的介词应用of, 此时形容词常用kind, nice, foolish, generous等，若形容词侧重描写不定式动词的特征，特点，则构成不定式复合结构的介词应用for。
