After her 2000 Olympic gold medal event, she was given an OBE (Order of British Empire), an honour given by the Queen, to re

3、cognize her contribution to sports and other championships. In the 2004 Olympic Games she had to withdraw due to injuries. She retired from sports in 2005.6 The heptathlon consists of seven events (“hepta” means “seven” in Greek): Three are track events the 100m hurdles, 200m and 800m events, and fo

4、ur are field events the high jump, shot put, long jump and javelin. On the first day, athletes participate in the 100m hurdles, high jump, shot put and 200m events. The other events are on the second day. The winner is the woman who achieves the highest number of points collected in all the events.

5、She does not need the top score in any single event, but competitors must take part in all the events. Points are calculated for each event by measuring distance and speed. The equivalent event for men is the decathlon (“deka” means “ten” in Greek) with ten events (100m, 400m, 110m hurdles, 1500m, l

6、ong jump, high jump, shot, discus, pole vault and javelin).Text7My dream comes true 1 The rain had started to fall gently through the evening air as darkness descended over Sydney. Hundreds of lights illuminated Stadium Australia, and the noise was deafening. As I walked towards the track I glanced

7、around me at the sea of faces in the stands, but my mind was focused. The Olympic gold medal was just minutes away, hanging tantalisingly in the distance.Text82 My heart was beating loudly, my mouth was dry and the adrenaline was pumping. I was so close to the realisation of my childhood dream and t

8、he feeling was fantastic; it was completely exhilarating, but also terrifying. I knew I would have to push myself beyond my known limits to ensure that my dream came true.Text93 I tried to keep composed, telling myself not to panic, to stick to the plan and run my own race. I knew the Russian girls

9、would set off quickly and I had to finish this race fewer than ten seconds behind the Russian athlete Yelena Prokhorova. If I could do that, the title would be mine. 4 I looked out along the first stretch of the 400m track and caught my breath. The 800m race had punished me so much over the years in

10、 the World, Commonwealth and European Championships and now it stood between me and the Olympic title.Text10 5 The British supporters were cheering so loudly it seemed as if they were the only fans there. I could hear my name being called. I could hear the shouts of encouragement and the cries of ho

11、pe. Union Jacks fluttered all around the vast, beautiful stadium. I felt unified with the crowd we all had the same vision and the same dream. 6 My ankle was bandaged against an injury I had incurred in the long jump just a couple of hours earlier, but I shut out all thoughts of pain. I tried to con

12、centrate on the crowd. They were so vocal. My spirits lifted and I felt composed.Text117 I knew I would do my best, that I would run my heart out and finish the race. I felt the performer in me move in and take over. I had just two laps to run, that was all. Just two laps until the emotional and phy

13、sical strain of the past two days and the last 28 years would be eclipsed by victory or failure. This race was all about survival. Its only two minutes, I kept telling myself, anyone can run for two minutes.Text12 8The starting gun was fired, and the race began. The first lap was good, I managed to

14、keep up with the group, but I was feeling much more tired than I usually did, and much more than Id anticipated. Both the long, hard weeks of training that had led up to this championship, and the exhaustion from two days of gruelling competition were showing in my performance. Mental and physical f

15、atigue were starting to crush me, and I had to fight back.Text139 Prokhorova had set the pace from the start. It was important that I didnt let her get too far in front. I had to stay with her. At the bell I was 2.3 seconds behind her. Just one lap to go. One lap. I could do it. I had to keep going.

16、 In the final 150 metres I could hear the roar of the crowd, giving me a boost at exactly the moment I needed it the most just when my legs were burning and I could see the gap opening between me and the Russian. Thankfully, my foot was holding out, so now it was all down to mental stamina.10 Prokho

17、rova was pulling away. I couldnt let her get too far; I had to stay with her. I began counting down the metres I had left to run: 60 m, 50 m, 40 m, 20m. I could see the clock. I could do it, but it would be close. Then finally the line appeared. I crossed it, exhausted. I had finished.Text1411 As I

18、crossed the line my initial thought was how much harder the race had been than expected, bearing in mind how, only eight weeks before, I had set a new personal best of 2 minutes 12.2 seconds. Then my mind turned to the result. Had I done it? I thought I had. I was aware of where the other athletes w

19、ere, and was sure that Id just made it. But, until I saw it on the scoreboard, I wouldnt let myself believe it. As I stood there, staring up and waiting for confirmation, I tried hard to keep negative thoughts from my mind but I couldnt help thinking, what if I have just missed out? What if Ive been

20、 through all this, and missed out?Text1512 In the distance I could hear the commentary team talking about two days of tough competition, then I could almost hear someone say, “I think shes done enough.” The next thing I knew, Sabine Braun of Germany came over and told me Id won. They had heard befor

21、e me, and she asked what it felt like to be the Olympic champion. I smiled, still not sure.13 Then, the moment that will stay with me for the rest of my life my name in lights. That was when it all hit me. Relief, a moment of calm, and a thank you to my inner self for taking me through these two day

22、s. I felt a tingle through the whole of my body. This was how it is meant to be arms aloft and fists clenched.14 I looked out at the fans, who were waving flags, clapping and shouting with delight. I was the Olympic champion.

24、来，在世锦赛、英联邦锦标赛以及欧洲锦标赛的八百米赛跑中我屡战屡败，饱受挫折。现在，它再次横在我与奥运冠军头衔之间。19Text5 我的英国支持者在为我欢呼，声音特别大，就好像看台上的观赛者只有他们一样。我听到他们喊我的名字，为我鼓劲加油，听到他们充满希望的呐喊。宽阔美丽的体育场上到处飘扬着大不列颠联合王国的国旗，我感觉自己和观众融为了一体：我们有着同样的期盼，同样的梦想。6 几个小时前，我的脚踝在跳远时受了伤，缠上了绷带，但是我忘掉伤痛，尽量把注意力集中在观众身上。他们的叫喊声势浩大，使我精神振奋，我感到镇定自若。20Text7 我知道自己会全力以赴，拼尽全力跑完全程。我感觉自己已经进入最佳状

27、是赢了，过终点线时，我知道其他运动员的位置，我肯定我赢了。但是，如果我不是亲眼看见记分牌上的成绩，我就无法让自己相信这是真的。当我站在那里，抬头望着记分牌等待确认成绩时，我竭力打消脑子里消极的念头，但是我还是禁不住想：如果我再次与冠军失之交臂怎么办？如果我经历了这些磨难却又一次失败了，那该怎么办？24Text12 我听见远处转播比赛的解说员在谈论两天来的艰难赛事，我好像听见有人说：“我觉得她做得够好了。”接下来，来自德国的萨拜因布劳恩走过来告诉我我赢了，他们在我之前打听到了消息，她问我当奥运冠军是什么滋味。我笑了，但还是不敢肯定。13 接下来的那一刻将让我铭记一生：计分牌上我的名字亮了。那一刻

28、我惊呆了。如释重负，平静了一会儿，感谢我内在的自我帮我度过了这两天。我感到全身一阵振颤，这时候该做的事是：高举双手，紧握双拳。14 我向我的支持者望去，他们正兴高采烈地挥舞旗帜，鼓掌呐喊。我是奥运冠军，奥运会的冠军。25Words & Phrases26Words & Phrases27Words & Phrases28gently ad. carefully, without a lot of force or sudden change in movement 轻柔地；轻轻地e.g.1. She kissed her baby gently on the cheek
