Guo Jingling （born on October 15， 1981， Baoding， Hubei Province， China）， Chinese diver who competed in four consecutive Summer Olympic Games， won gold medals in the 3 metre springboard and synchronized （同步的） 3 metre springboard （with partner Wu Mania） events in 2004 and repeated the feat in 2008 （again partnered with Wu on the synchronized event）. Those accomplishments， coupled with her multiple victories in world diving championships， elevated her to the status of most outstanding diver in the history of the sport.
Guo grew up in Baoding， China， a city located about 90 miles （140 kilometers） south of Beijing. At seven she was “discovered” at her elementary school by diving coach Yu Fen， who had risen to prominence coaching Olympic champion Fu Mingxia. Guo， who went to live at the sports school where Yu coached， progressed rapidly under her mentors guidance. At 14 she was selected for Chinas Olympic team and made her international debut at the 1996 Atlanta Games. She finished fifth， but it was clear that the teenager had the talent， the willingness to work hard， and a certain， indefinable flair for her sport that made her something special.
Yu retired after the Atlanta Games， and Guo transferred to coach Zhou Jihong， who had become Chinas first Olympic diving champion in 1984. Under Zhou， she won silver medals in both the 3 Metre springboard and 3 Meter synchronized events at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Training for five to seven hours a day， she won double gold at the world championships in 2001， 2003， 2005， 2007， and 2009， to go along with her two gold’s at the Athens 2004 Olympic Games.
Guo was one of the top favorites to win gold at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. She had not lost a major international event， either individual or synchronized， on the 3 metre springboard since 2001， and she did not disappoint the home crowd. Standing 5 feet 4 inches （1.63 meters） and weighing just 108 pounds （49 kg）， Guo exploded off the springboard， twisting and tumbling in the air in a way that seemingly defied gravity. Then， with her body perfectly aligned （使成一条直线）， she cut through the water’s surface， producing barely a sound or a ripple as she entered. In the end she again walked away with the gold in both the 3 Meter springboard and the synchronized 3 Meter springboard. In 2011 Guo retired from competitive diving.

In the playground of Baisha Central Primary School in Central Chinas Hunan Province， 63 Year old Tang Wenhan repeats a set of high Intensity exercises to more than 40 pupils. Tang， who retired two years ago， had taught physical education for 34 years in primary and middle schools in rural areas.
Tang is also recognized as a “world champions first teacher” for initiating village children into the world of sports. Beads of sweat slide down Tangs dark， firm skin. He wipes the sweat from his cheek and talks about his post Retirement arrangements. For him， being retired does not mean the end， but rather allows him more time to help rural children achieve their sporting dreams in his former home， a room measuring less than 30 square meters.
“Get in line！” Tang asks his students to line up for their warm Up. “Rural children are more energetic and they enjoy running and jumping. Sometimes it is difficult to control them，” he comments. “However， they are really passionate about sports and can face much adversity.” Tang often visits kindergartens and elementary schools in the county to find more sports
Loving and talented children. He asks the children to learn the standing long jump and the sprint. “This way， their energy， jumping ability and physical coordination can be evaluated.” Once talented prospects are identified， Tang then contacts their parents. “If the parents allow their children to participate in training， I will help them exercise in their spare time and recommend them to coaches at the urban sports school，” says Tang. “I understand that the training conditions I can provide are not sufficient to train children to become professional athletes，” he adds.
For more than 30 years， Tang has been sending an average of four or five students to the city each year for vocational training. “Our rural children have been helping their families with farm work from a young age， so they are very diligent.” Tang also notes that some “left
Behind” children in rural areas have nowhere to go after school “They can come to me for exercise at no cost.” He also helps disabled children play sports. “They are as passionate about sports as all of us，” Tang says enthusiastically. “Being disabled does not mean they can’t achieve their dreams; instead they can enjoy a full life， in spite of their disability.” He adds that for some people with disabilities， sports can brighten their lives.

难词探意
1. martial arts 武术
2. apprentice / n. 学徒
3. endow / v. 赋予
Chinese martial arts， also known as kung Fu or wushu， boasts a history of over 3，000 years， but used to be popular only among Chinas middle
Aged and elderly population. In recent years， however， it has increased in popularity among younger generations， thanks to a rise in competitions， access to free lessons during school holidays， and greater government support.
In January， the International Olympic Committee confirmed that wushu would make its debut as an official sport at the 2022 Dakar Youth Olympic Games. “Its exciting news for martial arts lovers， because it’s a good chance to raise awareness of this wonderful sport， and we hope it features in the summer Olympic Games one day，” says Wang Liang， chief range officer of the Ningxia championship. “More teenagers are engaged in martial arts competitions nowadays， and their competitiveness is improving daily，” adds Wang. In the Ningxia championship， the category for children aged between 7 and 12 years old accounted for 60 percent of all competitors. In another martial arts championship for people of all ages held in early August， junior competitors accounted for 90 percent of the 497 entrants.
Zhao Yan， 17， won two gold medals at a regional martial arts championship for teenagers held recently in Ningxia， Northwest China. Born in Yinchuan， at the age of 11， Zhao Yan was sent by her parents to Henan Province， where there is a strong tradition of teaching kung fu. During her two years in Henan， she lived with other apprentices and learned to take care of herself. “Every day martial arts training was so fantastic that I even forgot to eat on several occasions，” Zhao says， adding that practicing martial arts has endowed her with independence， confidence and optimism. Nowadays， Zhao studies at a sports college in Ningxia majoring in martial arts， and her enthusiasm for this traditional Chinese sport makes every days hard workout enjoyable. “I will seize the moment and try my best in every event. My goal is to enter university with my talent in martial arts， and Im confident in myself，” says Zhao.
Thanks to the influence of Bruce Lee， kung fu films and other factors， over 120 million people across the world are engaged in martial arts， an ancient sport containing Chinese cultural meanings like virtue and ceremony.

“泳”往直前，安全谨记
游泳可能是很多人喜欢的运动之一，但是也许很多人并没有意识到在开放水域游泳的危险。
难词探意
1. deteriorate / v. 变坏;恶化
2. stamina / n. 耐力;持久力
I think we are all somewhat less unaware of the dangers that open water swimming encloses， and maybe some of us are feeling panicky about the whole thing. There are many ways to make the experience much safer for everyone involved.
Practice in a pool when you are beginning. Its safer to swim and strengthen your skill in a relatively calm setting where it is easier to practice sighting and breathing.
Figure out where you are planning to go on your swim. Make a schedule and even a map if necessary. Just have a solid answer about where you’re going to swim and for how long you are going to swim. Check the water conditions and shoreline settings.
Before you jump into the water， figure out how to get out if the water conditions deteriorate or your stamina falls short. Always expect the unexpected. Call a friend to accompany you through your route if you can. There is little that you can do to find help if something happens while you’re alone， but someone else could find it for you. Overall， stay as close to the shore as you can. This is the place where you’ll have more options for calling for aid or getting out of trouble by yourself if needed， particularly if the shore is a safe place for exiting the water.
Never swim in open water alone. Bring someone with you and preferably make that person sail close by in a kayak or a powerboat. In the most impractical of the cases， have that person only walk along the shoreline where you’re swimming. If needed， they can call for help if something happens.
There’s something called rip current （裂流）， which flows away from the shore and can drag you away. If you’re caught in one， the only thing you can do is swim parallel with the shore.
It’s no secret that one of the hazards of open water swimming is current， which varies in strength and speed， so you’ll need to do some asking and research to find out about the local water conditions. As a side note， remember the latter can change hourly， so be very careful and check the weather forecast for the winds and other factors that could affect the flow.
At some open water swimming areas， resident authorities have lifeguards on duty. Let the lifeguards know about your swimming plans because they are your most reliable resource for being able to come to your rescue if you get trapped in a current. The extra of checking in with the lifeguards is that they will have up-to-date info on weather and tides.

冬季户外运动
有些人一到冬天，便決定告别他们最喜爱的户外运动。然而，很多户外运动，并不受季节的限制。
难词探意
1. terrain / n. 地形;地势
2. gear / n. 设备;衣服
3. modification / n. 改进;改变
The air gets a little thinner and the cold begins to wrap around us as fall leaves and winter arrives. Some people regard winter as a goodbye to their favorite outdoor sports. However， there are plenty of winter outdoor activities that transcend all seasons.
Climbing
Some climbers say that winter climbing and summer climbing are completely different sports. The snow， ice， and cold has the tendency to turn one terrain into something completely different than it is in the warmer months. As with any other change in temp and terrain， you’ll need gear and expectations that make sense for the conditions. Plan for the weather getting worse， pack hot liquids， bring all extreme winter climbing supplies—even if the terrain isn’t expected to need it， layer your clothes， and turn back if you need to. Winter climbing offers more different experiences and views than climbing in warmer months.
Cycling
No matter what type of cycling you’re into， whether it is mountain biking or commuting to work， you can turn it into an all
Season activity. Just like anything else， it simply requires some modification. Wearing more layers is important， but not so many that you’ll be sweating after a few minutes peddling. A good base layer， gloves， boots， and a head covering will make you plenty comfortable in the cooler temperatures.
Running
Seasonal Affective Disorder is a condition in which people can feel depressed and fatigued in the winter months as a result of the body’s lack of sunlight. Some people can combat this issue with light therapy. Another way to fight the winter blues is to do some exercise.
Continuing to run outside is one way to soak in as much sunlight in your workout as you can. More layers and better shoes may be all you need to turn your warm weather month sport into a cold weather sport as well. In fact， many runs and marathons take place in cooler months. Just be aware of the thinner air and how it can affect your breathing as well as your muscles. However， don’t let a little cold keep you from enjoying a run with a beautiful snowy backdrop.
