Keeping fit often means sharing a busy pathway with cyclists， runners and walkers， but imagine facing the task of doing it all without being able to see or hear. It is a challenge many disabled athletes face， unless someone agrees to be their eyes and ears.

Newly formed group Achilles Brisbane pairs vision- and hearing-impaired （视觉和听觉受损的） athletes with people who would like to guide them.

Jane Britt， president of Achilles Brisbane， who is vision- and hearing-impaired， said， “When we go out， it’s much less frightening to have someone beside us that has full hearing to listen for us and tell us what’s there.”

Ms Cullen and Ms Britt meet up most Saturday mornings to take part in the five-kilometer park run. Their partnership is built on trust， but Ms Britt said that it took time to develop.

Ms Britt said it took an unexpected storm for her to trust Ms Cullen completely. “There was violent rain， my glasses were broken and we were walking together. I suddenly had to tell her I couldn’t see anything， and I was going to have to completely trust her. From that time I knew it was going to work because she was so good about dealing with the special situation we both found ourselves in，” she said.

Isabella Allen and her seeing eye dog Tatum are two new additions to the Achilles Brisbane. Ms Allen kept active by rowing， running and cycling but found it difficult to keep going as her vision became worse. After nearly giving up completely， she worked up the courage to ask Achilles Brisbane to find someone to share a boat with her.

Ms Allen said the fear of not finding anyone to row with almost stopped her from reaching out to Achilles Brisbane. “But， they found people and matched me to them，” she said. “It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.”

1. What does Paragraph 1 try to show？

A. The exercise people do to keep fit. B. The danger of walking on a busy road.

C. The difficulty the disabled athletes face. D. The necessity of building roads for the blind.

2. How does Jane Britt feel about going out alone？

A. Relaxed. B. Excited. C. Worried. D. Bored.

3. What happened in the heavy rain according to Ms Britt？

A. She fell down on the ground. B. She led Ms Cullen forward on the road.

C. She developed a strong sense of teamwork. D. She began to trust in Ms Cullen as her guide.

4. What was the best thing Ms Allen has done？

A. Asking Achilles Brisbane for help. B. Working in Achilles Brisbane.

Playing sports offers you more than just physical benefits. The benefits are the same whether or not you’re good at sports. If you are not good enough to play competitively on a school team， you can play sports with your friends.

Making new friends.

Playing sports enables you to create friendships you otherwise might not have formed. You play together happily and gradually know each other. Many times， the friendships you create on the field remain strong when you are not playing sports.

Understanding the value of health.

Taking part in sports improves your health in many ways. This gets you thinking about what to eat and how to treat your body so as to achieve the highest performance levels. Thus， playing sports can lead to better eating habits and prevent you from becoming too fat.

Building team spirit.

Sports provide children with the important lesson of learning how to work in a team. By working together they will learn each other’s strengths and weaknesses and will be better able to decide and work out the best plan for the team. This will without doubt help them in their future lives and jobs as well.

Playing sports requires a lot of time and energy. Some may think this would take students’ attention away from schoolwork. However， the opposite is true. Sports require memorization， repetition and learning—skills that are directly relevant （有关的） to schoolwork.

A. Becoming active in class.

B. Doing better in your studies.

C. Everyone has to work together to achieve the goal.

D. To be a good athlete， you must take care of yourself.

E. Sports can help you in your study and fit in with society as well.

F. Sports bring teens together from different schools and backgrounds.

G. However， sports will improve your health and help you achieve weight goals.

Unless you are fortunate enough to know an NBA player， Ryan Martin is probably the best basketball player you’ll ever meet. Unlike those who fly up and down the court （球场）， however， Martin is forced to take a different approach; he doesn’t have legs.

Martin， a 33-year old man， is a professional wheelchair basketball player. His achievements have taken him halfway around the world to play in Spain for the last seven years. There he made a comfortable living playing basketball and working with some of the greatest athletes in the world.

“A good wheelchair player can make $50，000 a year， while a star can make six figures，” said Martin. What’s more， he couldn’t see his family for months and European cities were unfriendly to the disabled. He also had to learn Spanish. Martin， however， overcame those drawbacks （困难）.

He started by playing basketball when he was 12. It didn’t take long for him to fall in love with the sport and， after graduating from Somers High School， he attended Southwest Minnesota State University on a basketball scholarship （奖学金）. In college， he scored over 1，000 points in his career and set several school records.

And he works as hard—if not harder—as any other professional athlete. “He destroys me，” said Gina Navarra， who works out with Martin on occasion. “What he does amazes me.”

Martin also recognizes that， at age 33， he’s in the back end of his career. With that in mind， he has been focusing more and more on his foundation.

“I have 12 brothers and sisters. College gave me a true sense of achievement. The foundation is designed to give those with disabilities the opportunity to realize the dreams that I once had，” Martin said.

“I’m not saying that out of a sense of pity，” he said. “I realize how fortunate I am to have achieved what I have. But I want to open doors for people.”

1. What was Ryan Martin’s life like in Spain？

A. Free. B. Boring. C. Difficult. D. Bittersweet.

2. How was Ryan Martin’s performance in college？

A. He stood out in basketball. B. He broke a few world records.

C. He was excellent in his studies. D. He won several scholarships.

3. Why has Ryan Martin been working for the foundation？

A. To help those in need. B. To finish his basketball career.

C. To earn money for his family. D. To learn basketball skills.

4. What words can best describe Ryan Martin？

A. Honest and responsible. B. Caring and sensitive.

C. Reliable and knowledgeable. D. Determined and warm-hearted.

It’s at this time of the year that marathon recovery， not marathon training， starts to take center stage.

Research indicates that the muscle （肌肉） damage from running a marathon can last up to two weeks. The research also indicates that muscle soreness is not a good indicator of muscular healing （康復）. In other words， just because you aren’t sore anymore doesn’t mean that you are fully healed. This is the danger for marathon runners： postmarathon muscular soreness fades after a few days but minor damage within the muscle cells remains. If you return to full training too soon—running more and faster than the tissues （组织） are ready for—you risk postponing full recovery and the chance to get ready for your next goal.

The solution， it appears， is to recognize （and accept） that the muscles will take a while to heal and to be prepared to take it easy for the first couple of weeks （even longer if you’re particularly sore after your marathon）. While the research isn’t very promising when it comes to things to do to reduce soreness and aid healing， a couple of concepts appear to help. First， providing gentle blood flow to the area helps bring healing nutrients into the muscles and also helps to remove waste products and damaged tissue. Walking and gentle massage （按摩） can help， particularly in the first few days after a marathon. Once muscle soreness has significantly reduced （usually two to four days after the race）， light jogging can commence. Just be mindful to run very slowly.

No runner wants to get super fit and then lose that during the recovery process. But since you must reduce your training load following your marathon， it can be difficult as to how much and how soon to insert running into your postmarathon training.

5. When should marathon runners return to full training？

A. Before the next game draws closer. B. A few days after soreness disappears.

C. Weeks after the tissues recover completely. D. About half a month after the competition.

6. How can marathon runners reduce their muscle soreness？

A. Through family care. B. By doing gentle exercise.

C. Through medical treatment. D. By removing damaged muscles.

7. What word can replace the underlined word “commence” in Paragraph 3？

A. Fit. B. Heal. C. Start. D. Change.

8. What can be a suitable title for the text？

A. Recovery after Marathon B. Soreness with Sports

C. Healing Muscle Soreness D. Reducing Training Load
