大思教育·英语课本倒背如流特训班 课文原文(高中·选修七) Unit 1 Living well Hi, my name is Marty Fielding and I guess you could say that I am “one in a million.”In other words, there are not many people like me. You see, I have a muscle disease which makes me very weak, so I can’t r un or climb stairs as quickly as other people. In addition, sometimes I am very clumsy and drop things or bump into furniture. Unfortunately, the doctors don’t know how to make me better, but I am very outgoing and have learned to adapt to my disability. My motto is: live one day at a time. Until I was ten years old I was the same as everyone else. I used to climb trees, swim and play football. In fact, I used to dream about playing professional football and possibly representing my country in the World Cup. Then I started to get weaker and weaker, until I could only enjoy football from a bench at the stadium. In the end I went into hospital for medical tests. I stayed there for nearly three months. I think I had at least a billion tests, including one in which they cut out a piece of muscle from my leg and looked at it under a microscope. Even after all that, no one could give my disease a name and it is difficult to know what the future holds. One problem is that I don’t look any different from other people. So sometimes some children in my primary school would laugh, when I got out of breath after running a short way or had to stop and rest halfway up the stairs. Sometimes I was too weak to go to school so my education suffered. Every time I returned after an absence, I felt stupid because I was behind the others. My life is a lot easier at high school because my fellow students have accepted me. The few who can not see the real person inside my body do not make me annoyed, and I just ignore them. All in all I have a good life. I am happy to have found many things I can do, like writing and computer programming. My ambition is to work for a firm that develops computer

More than twenty of these he still holds, including the record for having the most records. 至今, 他仍然是其中20多项纪录的保持者, 还包括拥有最多的吉尼斯纪录这一项. But these records are not made in any conventional sport like swimming or soccer.

It takes a lot of concentration and a great sense of balance to stay on it. 呆在球上得一直全神贯注, 还需要有极强的注意力和极好的平衡感. You have to struggle to stay on top especially when your legs start shaking. 特别是在双腿开始抖动的时候, 你还得使劲呆在球上. And what about somersaulting along a road for 12 miles? 然而沿着12英里的马路翻筋斗, 情况又是怎样呢? Somersaulting is a tough event as you have to overcome dizziness, extreme tiredness and pain. 翻筋斗是一项艰苦的运动, 因为你必须克服头晕、极度疲劳和痛苦. You are permitted to rest for only five minutes in every hour of rolling but you are allowed to stop briefly to vomit. 每翻滚一个小时, 只允许你有五分钟的休息, 不过也可以短暂地停下来呕吐.

第一单元 路永在前方 阿什利塔·福曼是一位热衷挑战并总想争创吉尼斯纪录的运动员。在过去25年中,他大约(approximately)已经打破了93项吉尼斯世界纪录,至今,他仍然是其中20多项纪录的保持者,还包括拥有最多的吉尼斯纪录这一项。但是这些记录并不是像游泳或足球等一般运动项目那样创建的,而是阿什利塔试图在非常有趣的地点,在富有想像力的运动项目中打破的。 最近,阿什利塔完成了他的梦想:在所有七大洲破一项纪录,其中包括在澳洲玩呼啦圈,在南美洲的水下做弹簧单高跷游戏,在北美洲的热气球中做膝部深弯曲运动。 虽然这些活动看起来孩子气且令人发笑而不是让人肃然起敬,但实际上(in reality),完成这些活动需要强大的力量,健康的体格和坚定的决心。 想想吧,你一边走路,一边还要把一瓶牛奶顶在头上,你的脖子需要的多好的适应力。你可以停下来休息或吃东西,但瓶子必须呆在头上。 当阿什利塔站在75厘米高的瑞士球上时,看起来虽然很轻松容易,其实不然。呆在球上得一直全神贯注,还需要有极强的注意力和极好的平衡感。特别是在双腿开始抖动的时候,你还得使劲呆在球上。 然而沿着12英里的马路翻筋斗,情况又是怎样的呢?翻筋斗是一项艰苦的运动,因为你必须克服头晕、极度疲劳和痛苦。每翻滚一个小时,只允许休息5分钟,不过也可以短暂地停下来呕吐(vomit)。 做标准的体操(gymnastically)弓箭步动作向前,以最快的节奏走完1英里的路程是阿什利塔又一个出色的项目。弓箭步冲刺对你的双腿是一个极端艰苦的考验。开始时呈站立姿势,然后右脚向前迈一步,同时左膝触地,然后再站起来,左脚向前迈出一步,同时右膝触地。想想吧,这个动作要反复做1英里远! 然而,这位有才能的运动员并不是天生的。小时候,他很不健康(unfit),而且对运动毫无兴趣。但他却对《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》非常着迷(fascinated)。 阿什利塔究竟是怎样成为一位运动员的呢?这是一个有趣的故事。少年时,他就开始探究人生的深层的意义。他研究过东方宗教,16岁时,他发现了一位名叫斯里琴摩的印度静坐功(mediation)导师,住在纽约市他家附近。自从20世纪70年代初,阿什利塔就一直是斯里琴摩的学生。斯里琴摩指出,人们发展他们的体魂与发展他们的头脑、心灵和精神上的(spiritual)自我具有同等的重要性,并且他相信人的体能是没有局限的。 当阿什利塔1978年在纽约市中央公园进行的24小时自行车马拉松(marathon)比赛中获得第三名时,他就知道总有一天他将进入《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》。尽管从没有训练过,他还是受到他的精神领袖的敦促参加了马拉松比赛。因此,当他取得第三名的时候,他开始有了这样的认识:他的身躯只不过是他的精神的工具,而且他似乎能够利用他的精神力量去完成任何事。从那时起,阿什利塔就拒绝接受任何身体极限的说法。 由于有了这种新的信心, 阿什利塔于1979年第一次打破吉尼斯纪录——跳爆竹27000次。不断努力打破纪录的动机源来自他对斯里琴摩思想的虔诚。每次试图破纪录的时候,阿什里塔都会达到一个体力不可逾越的极限点。这个时候,他就会进入自己的内心深处,与他的灵魂(soul)和他的老师相沟通。 在创纪录的努力中,阿什利塔总是要感谢他的老师。事实上,他常穿着一件T恤衫,后背上有斯里琴摩的名言: “完美的道路只有一条,它就在你前方,永远在你前方。” 集中精力于……

马蒂的故事 你好。我叫马蒂.菲尔丁。我想你可能会说我是“百万人中才有一个”的那种人。换句话说,世界上像我这样的人并不多见。你瞧,我的肌肉有毛病,使我的身体非常虚弱,所以我不能像别人那样快跑或快步爬楼梯。再说,有时候我还会笨手笨脚、不小心摔掉东西,或磕碰到家具上。不幸的是,大夫们不知道如何治好我的病,但是我很开朗乐观,学会了适应身体的残疾。我的座右铭是:活一天算一天。 十岁以前,我跟其他人是一样的。我常常爬树、游泳、踢足球。说实在的,我过去常常梦想我会成为职业球员,代表我们的国家参加世界杯足球赛。后来,我的身体开始变得越来越虚弱,以至于只能坐在体育场的长凳上欣赏足球了。最后我到医院去做了检查,几乎住了三个月的医院。我想我至少做过十亿次检查了,包括有一次检查,他们从我的腿部切下一小块儿肌肉,放在显微镜下观察。即使做过了所有这些检查,也没有人能够确诊这个病。因此,很难知道将来会是个什么样子。 问题是我看上去跟平常人一样。因此,当我跑了很短的一段路之后,我就会喘不过气来,或者爬楼梯才爬到一半就得停下来休息。因此,上小学时有的孩子见了我这种情况就会笑话我。有时候我的身体太虚弱,上不了学,因此落了许多功课。每次缺课之后,我就觉得自己很笨,因为我比别人落后了。 我在中学时期的生活(比在小学时)要轻松多了,因为我的同学开始接受了我的状况。还有些同学看不到我的内心世界,但是我并不生气,只是不去理会他们罢了。总而言之,我生活得挺好。我很高兴我能做许多事情,比如写作和电脑编程。我有雄心壮志,长大后我要在开发电脑软件的公司里工作。去年我发明了一个电脑足球游戏,有一家大公司已经决定从我这儿买走。我的生活很充实,没有时间闲坐着顾影自怜。除了同我的朋友一起去看电影和足球比赛,我还花很多时间和我的宠物在一起。我有两只兔子、一只鹦鹉、一缸金鱼和一只乌龟。我得花大量时间来照顾这些宠物,但我觉得很值。此外,我还有好多功课,特别是在病了一段时间之后。 在许多方面,我身体的残疾倒使我心理上变得更加坚强、更加独立。我必须努力工作才能过上正常的生活,但这是值得的。假如我有机会跟健康孩子讲一句话,那么,这句话就是:身体残疾并不意味着生活不美满。因此,不要感到残疾人可怜,或者取笑他们,也别不理睬他们。要接受他们,给他们以鼓励,让他们能像你一样过得丰富多彩、充实美满。 谢谢你们读我的故事。.马蒂 致建筑师的一封信桑达斯女士 爱丽斯。梅杰 总建筑师剑桥街64号 影院设计公司班克斯敦 希尔街44号 班克斯敦 20(0年9月2,4日 亲爱的桑达斯女士: 今天我从报上了解到,您将成为班克斯敦新影院的建筑设计师。我希望您不介意我写信询问您是否已考虑到残疾顾客的需要。尤其是以下几点不知您是否考虑到了: 1.为乘坐轮椅的人进入电影院提供充分的便利。影院内的各个部分都安装电梯就会很方便。电梯的按钮应当让乘坐轮椅的人容易够到,电梯门应足够宽。在有些电影院里,(残疾人专用)电梯设在影院背后阴冷而不显眼的地方。由于残疾人必须要使用这些电梯,这就使残疾人感到比别的观众低一等。 2.给听力有障碍的人提供耳机。所有座位的旁边都装有耳机,而不是少数几个座位,那会有帮助。这样可以使那些听力有缺陷的观众和那些听力正常的朋友坐在一起欣赏,而不是让前者坐在一个特定的区域。

选修9 Unit 1 Breaking records-Reading "THE ROAD IS ALWAYS AHEAD OF YOU" Ashrita Furman is a sportsman who likes the challenge of breaking Guinness records. Over the last 25 years, he has broken approximately 93 Guinness records. More than twenty of these he still holds, including the record for having the most records. But these records are not made in any conventional sport like swimming or soccer. Rather Ashrita attempts to break records in very imaginative events and in very interesting places. Recently, Ashrita achieved his dream of breaking a record in all seven continents, including hula hooping in Australia, pogo stick jumping under water in South America, and performing deep knee bends in a hot air balloon in North America. While these activities might seem childish and cause laughter rather than respect, in reality they require an enormous amount of strength and fitness as well as determination. Think about the fine neck adjustments needed to keep a full bottle of milk on your head while you are walking. You can stop to rest or eat but the bottle has to stay on your head. While Ashrita makes standing on top of a 75 cm Swiss ball look easy, it is not. It takes a lot of concentration and a great sense of balance to stay on it. You have to struggle to stay on top especially when your legs start shaking. And what about somersaulting along a road for 12 miles Somersaulting is a tough event as you have to overcome dizziness, extreme tiredness and pain. You are permitted to rest for only five minutes in every hour of rolling but you are allowed to stop briefly to vomit. Covering a mile in the fastest time while doing gymnastically correct lunges is yet another event in which Ashrita is outstanding. Lunges are extremely hard on your legs. You start by standing and then you step forward with the fight foot while touching the left knee to the ground. Then you stand up again and step forward with the left foot while touching the fight knee to the ground. Imagine doing this for a mile! Yet this talented sportsman is not a natural athlete. As a child he was very unfit and was not at all interested in sports. However, he was fascinated by the Guinness Book of World Records. How Ashrita came to be a sportsman is an interesting story. As a teenager, he began searching for a deeper meaning in life. He studied Eastern religions and, aged 16, discovered an Indian meditation teacher called Sri Chinmoy who lived in his neighbourhood in New York City. Since that time in the early 1970s, Ashrita has been one of Sri Chinmoy's students. Sri Chinmoy says that it is just as important for people to develop their bodies as it is to develop their minds, hearts and spiritual selves. He believes that there is no limit to people's physical abilities. When Ashrita came third in a 24-hour bicycle marathon in New York's Central Park in 1978, he knew that he would one day get into the Guinness Book of World Records. He had been urged by his spiritual leader to enter the marathon even though he had done no training. So, when he won third place, he came to the
