Jesse Owens is recognized as a hero not just because he is fast. Some people might say that they know him for just that reason. However, there are lots of fast people who are not known. Jesse Owens is known because Chancellor Adolf Hitler did not shake the hand of Jesse Owens or even recognize his feat of winning four gold medals, because Owens was an African American.
Jesse Owens owed much of his success to his coach Charles Riley, who probably was the most important one making him have the career that he did. Owens came from a background that required him to work after school in a shoe shop. He couldn’t attend the regularly scheduled track practices organized by his school. However, Charles Riley saw the boy had both a passion(熱情) and a talent for running, and so arranged for him to be able to practice before school instead.
Jesse Owens achieved this success despite(盡管) his racial background, which at the time was a huge limitation to him. He could only eat in certain restaurants and sleep in certain hotels, as could all African Americans of the time. He was also never offered a scholarship for school despite setting records for NCAA(美國全國大學(xué)生體育協(xié)會) championships.
The Berlin Olympics in 1936 is where his star rose as high as it would ever be able to. These Olympics were during the height of Hitler’s rule. It took courage to race in front of Hitler and many other racist(種族主義者). It took time, determination, and perseverance(堅持不懈) to race like him. He won four gold medals at those Olympics. It would take almost fifty years for someone else to walk away from the Olympics with four gold medals. He passed away at the age of 66 from lung cancer.
【小題1】The underlined word “feat” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “ .”
A.chance | B.happiness | C.success | D.hope |
A.did not need to work after school |
B.took part in the regular track practices |

You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists(拳頭).But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead!
Of course he isn’t really dead. With any luck he isn’t even hurt. Why ? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catching fire, are professionals(職業(yè)).They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks(騙局).
There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress(床墊). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar!
But although their work depend on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman’s success depends on careful timing(計時).For example, when he is “blown up” in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion(爆炸)just at the right moment.
Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high. His parachute(降落傘)failed to open, and he was killed.
In spite of(盡管)all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays there are stuntgirls too!
【小題1】Stuntmen are those who____________
A.Often dress up as actors |
B.prefer to lead dangerous lives |
C.often perform seemingly dangerous actions |
D.often fight each other for their lives |
A.playing their dirty tricks |
B.selling their special skills |
C.jumping out of high windows |
D.jumping from fast moving trains |
A.he needs little protection |
B.he will be covered with a mattress |
C.his life is endangered |
D.his safety is generally all right |
A.Strength | B.Exactness | C.Speed | D.Carefulness |
A.Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman. |
B.The percentage of serious accidents is high. |
C.Parachutes must be of good quality. |
D.The cliff is too high. |
