Eleven months ago, an act of good sportsmanship(体育精神)changed a girls’ running race into something bigger.

  Jenna Huff received a national sportsmanship award from the US Olympic Committee for what she did for Deb Guthmann.

    In the race, Jenna was behind Deb until the final few meters of the 5-kilometer race.

  Then something awful happened. Deb’s right hip(髋部)broke. She screamed in pain and stopped.

    Jenna had never met Deb and had been taught to pass every runner she could to win.

    Instead, Jenna stopped with no hesitation.

    “Come on.” Jenna told Deb. “We’re going to run.”

    Jenna took Deb’s left elbow with her right hand. She helped her jog the last few meters. At the finishing line, she pushed Deb in front of her, reasoning Deb would have beaten her anyway if not for the injury. That act helped Deb’s team win the regional race and advance to the state meet.

    Both girls are now 17.

    Jenna is still an athlete for her school.

    She and her parents went to Colorado to accept an award for the national sportsmanship award. Jenna had to give a five-minute speech to the crowd, a crowd which included a number of former Olympians. “I’m pretty scared about my speech,” Jenna said the other night when we talked on the phone. “You want to hear part of it?” She read me one part including the words from Albert Einstein: “Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to a divine(神圣的)purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know:That we are here for the sake of(为了)others.”

  Deb is also still running. She received a full scholarship to Emmanuel College in Franklin Springs, Georgia. The award was because of her excellent academic record and great sports potential.

    But she recently got hurt again and was unable to run for weeks.

    Even so, I am confident Deb will write a happier ending for herself one day. Both of these young women make you feel confident about the future. They are strong, compassionate(富于同情心的)and smart.

  As Einstein said-and as Jenna showed 11 months ago— “we are here for the sake of others”.

1.The story is intended to __________.

  A. tell us an unexpected story in the girls’ running race

  B. introduce a famous sportswoman

  C. show the beauty of good sportsmanship

  D. remind athletes to pay attention to their safety during the race

2.The reason why Jenna pushed Deb in front of her at the finishing line is that __________.

  A. she wanted to get the prize

  B. she thought she didn’t match Deb in reality

  C. she helped Deb’s team to win the regional race

  D. Deb had been injured   

3.Deb received a full scholarship to Emmanuel College because __________.

  A. she is still running

  B. she was good at her academy and sports

  C. she showed the good sportsmanship in the race

  D. she never gave up even though she had been injured

4.What can we know from the passage?

  A. Jenna was the last one to reach the finishing line.

  B. Deb went to Colorado to accept the prize with her parents.

  C. The author had a face-to-face interview with Jenna the other night.

  D. Helping each other can make a big difference to people’s lives.
