◆语篇导读
一个人想成为足球场上的明星,非常困难。一个人想成为学习上的明星,同样不容易。可是,有一个人在足球场上和学习上都是明星。今天,让我们一起走近她——U19的女足队员,美国佛罗里达州立大学全额奖学金的获得者。她到底是谁呢?
It is a difficult task for a young soccer player to reap laurels in both classroom and on the field,but Zhao Yujie,a member of China Women's National Under-19 Football Team(U19),has achieved both.
She was admitted to the Florida State University(FSU)in the United States with full scholarship and just set off for her new journey on January 2,2018.
As a member of China U19 and Shanghai U18 team,the 1999-born soccer player won the 2014 Nanjing Youth Olympic Games and the U18 section of the 2017 National Games in Tianjin with her teammates.She and her teammates in China U19 team also qualified for the 2018 FIFA U20 Women's World Cup last October.
Her chance to study abroad was never accomplished in one action.Zhao has always been one of the best English speakers of Chinese national soccer team.Thus Gao Hong,her coach in U17 team,suggested her to apply for a university in the US,and get a chance to play in the National Collegiate Athletic Association(NCAA).
“I would always like to learn from the US team,”said Zhao.“It is also an opportunity to practice surviving in a total different environment,”she added.“Most importantly,I can make more friends and enrich my life experience there.”
She hasn't forgotten her motherland.“It is my dream and goal to play in the national team,and I would treasure the opportunity to fight for my country if I got the chance,”said Zhao during an interview before her departure.

◆典语赏析
1.Her chance to study abroad was never accomplished in one action.她去国外学习的机会不是一蹴而就的。
动词不定式短语to study abroad修饰名词chance,作后置定语。动词不定式(短语)作定语时,要置于被修饰的名词之后。
【即时尝试】迎接我们的未来将是美好的。
2.It is also an opportunity to practice surviving in a total different environment.这也是练习在完全不同环境中生存的机会。
“It is+名词(短语)+to do sth.”是常见的句型结构,意为“做某事是……”,it是形式主语,真正的主语是动词不定式短语to do sth.。practice doing sth.是固定词组搭配,意为“练习做某事”,doing是动名词形式,在不定式短语中作practice的宾语。
【即时尝试】对于篮球运动员来说每天练习打篮球是他们的义务。

对于一个年轻的足球运动员来说,在教室和球场均摘得桂冠不是件容易的事。但是,中国国家女子U19青年足球队队员赵瑜洁做到了。
她考上了美国佛罗里达州立大学,并获得全额奖学金。2018年1月2日她刚刚开启她新的旅程。
作为中国U19和上海U18青年队的一员,1999年出生的她和队友一起赢得了2014年南京青年奥运会和2017年天津全运会U18决赛冠军。去年十月,她和U19国家青年队队友也一起获得了参加2018年国际足联U20女足世界杯的资格。
赵瑜洁去国外学习的机会不是一蹴而就的,她一直是中国国家足球队英语说得最好的队员之一。因此,她所在的U17青年队的教练高红建议她申请美国的大学,并获得在美国大学生体育协会踢球的机会。
赵瑜洁说:“我一直想向美国队学习。”“这也是练习在完全不同环境中生存的机会。”赵瑜洁补充说,“最重要的是,在那儿我可以结交更多的朋友,并且丰富我的生活经验。”
她没有忘记自己的祖国。她在离开前的一次采访中说:“到国家队踢球是我的梦想和目标。如果有可能,我会珍惜为国家而战的机会。”
