2. translate the following paragraph into english, using the words and expressions in the box below. ▇ answers for reference:

a gold medal is a tribute to the athletic talent, determination and courage of an olympic

champion. then how do the athletes make themselves

fortunate enough to be so highly honored? the champions who have mounted the winners’ stand can offer an answer based on their own experiences. first, in the course of training, they visualize themselves as champions. once their dreams of becoming champions take shape, they will cling to them

courageously. what’s more, top performers are driven to bring out their best. they discipline themselves and squeeze in every possible minute to practice every day. despite their relentless efforts, they may sometimes fail to win or narrowly miss a gold medal, yet they believe in themselves and never lose heart. they are ready to take on the most psychologically and technically challenging tasks or competitions. in reality, all champions have experienced lots of hardships on their way to the vital break of their lifetime. so we won’t and can’t say that a champion is lucky. after all, luck only strikes those prepared to capitalize on it.

my favorite sport team: the chinese women’s volleyball team in quite a few sports, chinese women athletes outshine men athletes. as a girl, i always feel proud of our women table tennis players, badminton players, women divers and

gymnasts. but my greatest enthusiasm always goes to the chinese women’s volleyball team, who, though it has

undergone some ups and downs, always presents a positive, inspiring image to the public.

i’ve never missed any major tv coverage of the chinese

women’s team. i can’t help getting excited watching the girls shine in court, with their amazing spikes and blocks, and their never-ceasing courage and faith in winning the match. there are times when they lose the game, sometimes with

embarrassing result like 0:3; there are years when they suffer a lot of injuries and new players do not match up to the veterans, yet, one must admit that the chinese girls have been practising very hard all the way.

recent years have witnessed a difficult period for the team as russian, american, cuban, and brazilian teams have been rising in ranking and winning championships, but i still have faith in our team and give them my support. i wish them good luck in the coming olympics. (196 words)

2. write an essay entitled “the meaning of winning a prize”. you may base your writing on what you have learnt from the two texts. the following hints may be of some help. 1) what is a prize?

2) what does a prize bring about?

3) what is the fundamental meaning of wining prizes? ▇ sample essay 2:

in today’s society, competitions, contests and games are held virtually every day and everywhere. these activities put the participants into two categories: winners and losers. as symbols of public recognition, prizes are awarded to those who mount the winners’ stand.

a prize brings about fame, prestige and good fortune. winners are constantly in the spotlight and attract admiring attention. their friends and colleagues come to congratulate them and their families take pride in them. more often than not, prizes simultaneously bring wealth to the winners as in the case of an olympic gold medal or a nobel prize. therefore, winners harvest both a good reputation and material rewards.

however, this is not the essential meaning of wining a prize. winners are worthy of respect, admiration and good fortune because they embody some outstanding qualities that are worthy of a prize: perseverance, diligence and optimism. an athlete undergoes years of training and takes hundreds of highly demanding challenges before he steps onto that

podium; a writer becomes popular overnight after he has spent years writing relentlessly in poverty and anonymity. what’s more, optimism in the face of adversity also contributes a lot to their success. they believe in themselves and have great passion for what they are engaged in. they endeavor to do their best,

enjoying the process of fighting well. therefore, the

fundamental meaning of winning a prize does not merely lie in the rewarding fame or wealth, but in the process of presenting the best part of oneself. (249 words)

1. bob and i became brother-like friends in our childhood. we played, dined and discussed our ambitions together. once grown up, he started for the west to make his fortune while i became a policeman in new york. before his departure, we had dinner together and we agreed that we would meet at the same place exactly twenty years from that date and time, no matter what our conditions might be or from what distance we might have to come.

then came the day we were supposed to meet. i was on my beat then. walking up to the appointed place which had been turned into a hardware store, i saw a man standing there with an unlighted cigar in his mouth. before i could speak, he told me that he was waiting for a friend by the name of jimmy wells. when he struck a match to light his cigar, i saw a pale face with keen eyes and a scar. i recognized him immediately. it was bob, and it was also the face of the man wanted by the chicago

police. for a moment i felt like telling him to escape right away. after all, we had been friends for so many years and he had traveled all the way to see me! but then my sense of duty told me the right thing to do. i said good-bye to him and continued my patrol, his last words still ringing in my ear: “i’ll wait for

half an hour. jimmy will keep his promise if he’s alive…” i then sent for a plain clothes man and had bob arrested. 2.an important friend in my life

li qiang, one of my classmates, is fun to be with. he is always wearing a broad smile as if life is forever sunshine and

butterflies. one day, i revealed to him my worries and anxieties: i, an ordinary-looking girl, was 177 centimeters tall, even taller than any of the boys in my class. i thought no boy would like to date me. besides, i was very poor at my academic courses. he suggested that i should learn to be myself and then he introduced me to a fashion show team of the university. encouraged, i decided to change myself. after a 3-month

training program on weekends, i could perform beautifully as a model, and surprisingly, i could concentrate on the required academic courses as well. the applauses i won at each fashion show and the scholarship i earned proved that being myself was terrific. since then, my life has changed a lot. thus, li qiang became an important friend of mine.

last semester, we began to help young people who suffer

pressures from physical defects, academic failures or financial problems. we set up a confidence club. those who come to us for help find our work definitely beneficial. our friendship has led me into a sparkling, rewarding life. unit two love
