Leaping on a narrow balance
beam
（平衡木）
is not
easy. But Lola Walter, a 13-year-old gymnast, is
an expert at
perfect
her
skills,
Lola
36
for
four
hours
a
day,
five
days
a
week.
At
the
state
championships
in
March, she finished seventh out of 16
’s especially impressive.

she
is legally blind, born with
a rare
condition that causes her eyes to shift
constantly
. She often sees double and
can’t
_38
how
far
away
things she was little, her mom
39 that even
though she couldn’t see
40 ,
she was fearless. So her mom
signed
her
up
for
gymnastics
when
she
was
three.
She
loved
the
41
right
away
and
gymnastics
became
her
favorite.
Though learning
gymnastics has been more
42
for her than for some of her tournaments, she has
never quit. She
doesn’t let her
_43
stop her
from doing anything that she wants to.
She likes the determination it takes to
do the sport. Her biggest
44_ is the balance beam. Because she
has
double vision, she often sees to
beams. She must use her sense of touch to help her
during her routine. Sometimes
she even
closes her eyes. “You have to
45_
your mind
that it’ll take you where you want to go.” says
Lola.
To be a top-level
gymnast, one must be brave. The beam is probably
the most
46
for anyone because it’s
four
inches wide. At the state
competition,
Lola didn’t fall
47
the beam. In fact, she got
an 8.1 out of 10---- her
highest score
yet.
Lola doesn’t w
ant to be
48 differently from the
other girls on her team. At the competitions, the
judges d
on’t
know about her
vision _49 _
. She doesn’t tell them,
because she doesn’t think they need to
know
. Her mom is
amazed by
her _50
never thinks about
51__. She is presently at
level 7 while the highest is level
10
in gymnastics. Her 52
is to reach level
9. She says she wants to be a gymnastics coach to
pass down what she’s
learned to other
kids
53
she grew up.
Lola is

of
a

hard
work
and
success.
She
says
it’s
helped
her
overcome
problems
in
her
life
outside
gymnastics, too. Her

for others is “just believe

around in a big pool in the Ocean Park.
The
smaller
dolphin
Grace,
shown
off
a
few
of
her
tricks,
turning
around and waving hello to the crowd.
The most amazing
thing
about
her,
however,
is
that
she’s
even
swimming
at
all.
She
doesn’t have a lost her
tail as a baby when she
got
caught up in a fish trap. When the
dolphin arrived at the Ocean Park in December
2005, she was fighting for her
life.
“Is she going to make it?” Her trainer, Abbey
Stone, feared the worst. Grace did make it
---
but her tail didn’t.
She ended up losing her flukes and the
lower part of her peduncle.

Over
the
past
six
years,
she
has
learned
to
swim
without
her
tail.
Dolphins
swim
by
moving
their
flukes
and
peduncle
up
and
down.
Grace
taught
herself
to
move
another
way
---like
a
fish!
She
pushed
herself
forward
through the water by moving her
peduncles from side to side.
The
movement put harmful pressure on
G
race’s backbone. So a company offered
to create a man
-made tail for her.
The tail had to be strong enough to
stay on Grace as she swam but soft enough that it
wouldn’t hurt her.
The first
time Grace wore the artificial tail. She soon
shook it off and let it sink in the bottom of the
pool. Now,
she is still learning to use
the tail. Some days she wears it for an hour at a
time, others not at all. “The tail
isn’t
necessary
for
her
to
feel
comfortable,”
says
Stone,
“but
it
helps
to
keep
that
range
of
motion(
动作
)
and
build
muscles
(
肌肉
).”
Now, the dolphin is about to get an
even happier ending. This month, Grace will star
in Dolphin Tale, a film
that focus on
her rescue and recovery. Her progress has inspired
more than just a new movie. Many people travel
from near and far to meet her. Seeing
Grace swim with her man-made tail gives people so
much courage.
60. When
Grace first arrived at the Ocean Park, her trainer
worried about her
.
A. physical build
B. potential ability
C.
chance of survival
D. adaptation to the
surroundings.
61. A man-made tail is
created for Grace to
_.
A. let her recover faster
B. make her comfortable
C.
adjust her way of swimming
D. help her
perform better tricks
62. The story of
Grace inspires people to_
.
A. stick to their dreams
B.
treat animals friendly
C. treasure what
they have
D. face difficulties bravely
C
Does Fame
Drive You Crazy?
Although being famous
might sound like a dream come true, today’s star,
feeling like zoo animals, face pressures
that
few
of
us
can
imagine.
They
are
at
the
center
of
much
of
the
world’s
attention. Paparazzi
(
狗仔队
)
camp
outside
their
homes,
cameras
ready.
Tabloids
(
小报
)
publish
thrilling
stories
about
their
personal
lives.
Just
imagine not being able to do anything
without being photographed or interrupted for a
signature.
According to psychologist
Christina Villareal, celebrities
—
famous people
—
worry constantly about
their public
appearance.
Eventually,
they
start
to
lose
track
of
who
they
really
are,
seeing
themselves
the
way
their
fans
imagine them, not as
the people they were before everyone knew their
name
s. “Over time,” Villareal says,
“they
feel separated and
alone.”
The phenomenon of
tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In
the 4th century B.C., painters followed
Alexander the Great into battle, hoping
to picture his victories for his admirers. When
Charles Dickens visited
America in the
19th century, his sold-out readings attracted
thousands of fans, leading him to complain
(
抱怨
)
about his
lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s
ran articles about film-stars in much the same way
that
modern tabloids and websites do.
Being
a
public
figure
today,
however,
is
a
lot
more
difficult
than
it
used
to
be.
Superstars
cannot
move
about
without worrying about photographers
with modern cameras. When they say something silly
or do something
ridiculous,
there is always the Internet to spread
the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive
forever.
If fame is so
troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running
away from it? The answer is there are still ways
to
deal with it. Some stars stay calm
by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and
family or by escaping to
remote
places
away
from
big
cities.
They
focus
not
on
how
famous
they
are
but
on
what
they
love
to
do
or
whatever made them famous in the first
place.
