Activity 1 Look at the pictures and answer the questions.
1 What are the key differences between team sports and individual sports
In individual sports one player competes against other players. Team sports require no less than two players on each side. In team sports, every player needs to learn to trust and depend on others, to accept help and give help, and to work together to reach a common goal. Players who excel at individual sports, however, find satisfaction pushing themselves to achieve personal goals rather than relying on the team to help them get there. But even individual sports also need back up from a wider team.
excel at 突出；擅长于 back up 支持，援助

What is Zhu Ting’s attitude towards team spirit(para 5)
Teamwork is the key to China’s victory. Thanks to my teammates’ hard efforts, I had the opportunity to show my spiking skills.
Cooperation between team members is essential.
Strong team spirit is more important than individual skills.

Lang Ping
As soon as a team steps off the victory podium, they need to start from zero to prepare for new challenges ahead.
Although we have achieved a lot of gold medals and awards, we will meet different challenges and different opponents. Therefore, we need to re-evaluate ourselves objectively in order to become higher, faster and stronger.
Developing ideas
Lost Tokyo, but keep going.
Teamwork
Example: Cooperation between team members allows individuals to demonstrate their own skills.
Example: Zhu Ting identified this as the special ingredient in the team’s success.
Fighting spirit
Example: In Rio, the Chinese women’s volleyball team needed its fighting spirit after it was assigned to the “group of death”. Although it faced several strong opponents, they fought with all their strength.
Perseverance
Example: Despite reaching the quarter-finals as the 4th team in the group, with just 2 wins in preliminary matches, they were not going to give up.

1 .1The atmosphere here at Rio de Janeiro is electric! If China wins this point, they will walk out of the stadium with an Olympic gold medal. Zhang Changning serves. Over the net, Popovic dives for the ball.
Paraphrase: The atmosphere here at Rio de Janeiro is exciting/thrilling! If China gets this point, they will win an Olympic gold medal. Zhang Changning hits the ball over the net. On the other side, Popovic moves quickly to save the ball.
“这里是里约热内卢，现场气氛紧张而热烈！如果中国队拿下这一分，她们将赢得这枚奥运金牌。张常宁发球。球过网，波波维奇倒地接球”。
英语单词经常有一词多义的情况，不同的语境下同一-个词可能表示不同的含义。这段话在描述一 个体育比赛的场景，在此语境下electric 和serve两个词不取其常用意思。electric 在此表示“扣人心弦的，高度刺激的”; serve 在此意为“发(球)”。
2 .Popovic can't get the ball back this time... and that's it!
Paraphrase: The result is that Popovic misses the ball.
“波波维奇这次没能接住……得分！”
that's it比较口语化，可以用在积极或者消极的语境中，所表达的意思会根据语境有所区别。比如，表示赞同的“对，就是这样”或者表示反感的“得了，行了，够了”。根据语境猜测that's it 在这句话中的意思，表示something is completely finished or a situation cannot be changed。
eg.A week to go, and that's it!
还有一周，然后就完事了!
eg.That's it, the fire's out now.
好了，现在火灭了。
3.In Rio, the Chinese women's volleyball team needed all of its fighting spirit after it was assigned to the“group of death", where it faced several strong opponents in the groupstage matches.
Paraphrase: In Rio, when fighting in the group stage matches, the Chinese women's volleyball team was put in a group in which all the teams were very strong. As a result, the Chinese women's vollyball team had to do their best to strive for victory.
在里约奥运会上，中国女排被分配到了“死亡之组”，因此她们必须拼尽全力，对抗小组赛中遇到的强大对手。
assign意为to put someone in a particular group,常常用于被动语态。例如: Tina has been assigned to the intermediate learners' group. ( Tina被分到中级水平学生组。)
assign 也有to give someone a particular job or make them responsible for a particular person or thing之意。例如: I've been ssgned the task of looking after the new students. (指派给我的工作是照顾新来的学生。)
group of death是一个比喻的说法，字面意思是“死亡之组”，即表示这个组中每支队伍的实力都很强劲。
4 Their perseverance paid off with an epic comeback against the defending champion Brazil in the quarter-finals.
Paraphrase: The Chinese team was rewarded for their perseverance. They defeated the defending champion Brazil in the quarter finals.
在四分之一决赛对抗卫冕冠军巴西队时，中国队的顽强毅力得到了回报，她们惊人地赢得了东山再起的机会。
with an epic comeback against.. 在句子中作伴随状语，修饰说明paid off的状态。
payoff意为“取得成功”。例如: Teamwork paid off. (团队合作成功了。)
通过上下文理解an epic(史诗般的。宏大的) comeback的意思，意为heroic victory。
5.Zhu Ting, named Most Valuable Player at the Rio Olympics, also identified this as the special ingredient in the team's success...
Paraphrase: Zhu Ting, who was named Most Valuable Player at the Rio Olympics, also regarded this as the vital element in the team's success..
里约奥运会“最有价值球员”奖项得主朱婷，也认为这是团队获胜的诀窍
联系上下文内容，理解this具体指代的内容，即本段前面提到的strong team spirit
注意identify sth as sth的用法，意为to recognise something and understand exactly what it is.
6 Togecher, the Chinese women's volleyballl team has fought their way through ups and downs.
Praprasce:Working togther, the Chinese women's vollyball team has tried ther best to move on in both good and bad stations.
在这条曲折起伏的道路上，中国女排共同奋力前行。
fight one's way 是固定搭配，通过上下文内容，推断其含义为“奋力开出一条路”。
关注ups and dows结构，通过up和down这两个词，猜测其词义是“盛衰;浮沉;苦乐”。
7. And there we see the Chinese players embracing, with tears of happiness in their eyes.
翻译：
我们看到中国队的队员们眼含幸福的热泪，相拥在一起。

The Olympic Games
Records show that the ancient Olympic Games were first held in 776 BC in Greece. The first modern Olympics were held in 1896. Since then, they have taken place every four years, except during the wartime years of 1916, 1940 and 1944. During the 20th century, the Winter Olympic Games were introduced for sports on snow and ice. Later, the Paralympics(残奥会) were established for athletes with a disability. Today, over 10,000 athletes from almost every nation on Earth compete in the Olympic Games. There are more than 30 different sports represented in almost 400 events. For the host country, it is a chance to showcase(展示) the best it has to offer. When China hosted the 2008 Olympics, it built special venues(举办场所) and improved transport links and high-definition（高请，高分辨率） broadcasting systems. At the opening ceremony, thousands of performers took to the stadium in a spectacular display of Chinese art and culture, a display that delighted audiences all over the world.
FIFA(国际足球联合会)
At the first FIFA World Cup in 1930，only thirteen teams took part. Since then, it has grown to be the biggest international football tournament（联赛） in the world, with 32 teams competing. The Cup has faced many challenges over the years. It was canceled during World War II, and FIFA lacked the resources to hold another tournament until 1950. Then, in 1960, a 9.5 magnitude earthquake struck the host country, Chile. Although the tournament was delayed while infrastructure（基础设施） was rebuilt, it eventually went ahead. Over the decades, the FIFA World Cup has become an iconic（标志性的，偶像的） sports event. Incredibly, today it is watched by almost half of the world's population - that's more than 3 billion people.
The Super Bowl（超级碗橄榄球赛）
The Super Bowl is the ultimate championship of American football. Held every year since 1967, it is currently played on the last Sunday in January or the first Sunday in February. One ticket to the Super Bowl can cost thousands of dollars. Most people, however, watch it at home, gathering together to cheer on teams such as the Philadelphia Eagles（费城老鹰）, the New England Patriots（新英格兰爱国者） and the Pittsburgh Steelers(匹兹堡钢人队). In fact, it is the most widely watched American TV broadcast of the year, with over 100 million viewers.

参考范文
l once ran the first leg of 4 x100-metre relay at our annual sports tournament. It was exciting and unforgettable. Standing on the starting line, waiting for the starting gun, I could almost hear my own heart beating. Then the gun sounded, and I almost had blocked out everything else. To this day, I don't remember how I finished my leg of the race. Only when I passed the baton to the second runner did I hear the wild cheering and shouting. The whole race was over in just an instant. The crowd rose to their feet and their cheering became even louder. Our team had won the race, and the four of us hugged each other tight for quite a while. I felt really happy.

佳作展示
Last month, our school held a sports meeting. My classmates, Li Qiang, entered the 3000-meter race.
When the big day came, everybody in our class was excited. He stood at the starting line, looking relaxed and confident. For the first four laps he was ahead of the others, but unfortunately he fell over and his left foot was badly hurt. Some of the classmates rushed to him and helped him struggle to his feet. We tried to persuade him to stop running but in vain. When he finished the race with great effort, we were all moved to tears.
Though he didn't win the race, he won our admiration and our cheers for his persistence and his bravery.
