The triathlon(铁人三项运动) promises to be one of the most popular Olympic sports.Recently it has drawn huge crowds attracted by athletes swimming 1,500m，cycling 40km，then running 10km without stopping.But what makes an attractive 17?year?old girl give up everything for the doubtful pleasure it offers?
Melanie Sears has not yet learnt those often?repeated phrases about personal satisfaction，mental challenge and higher targets that most athletes use when asked similar questions.“You swim for 1,500m，then run out of the water and jump on your bike，still wet.Of course，then you freeze.When the 40km cycle ride is over，you have to run 10km，which is a long way when you’re feeling exhausted.But it’s great fun，and all worth it in the end，” she says.
Melanie entered her first triathlon at 14 and she won the junior section.Full of confidence，she entered the National Championships，and although she had the second fastest swim and the fastest run，she came nowhere.“I was following this man and suddenly we came to the sea.We realised then that we had gone wrong.I ended up cycling 20 kilometres too far.I cried all the way through the running.”
But she did not give up and was determined that she never will.“Sometimes I wish I could stop，because then the pain would be over，but I am afraid that if I let myself stop just once，I would be tempted(诱惑) to do it again.”Such doggedness draws admiration from Steve Trew，the sport’s director of coaching.“I’ve just been testing her fitness，” he says, “and she worked so hard on the running machine that it finally threw her off and into a wall.She had given it everything，and she just kept on.”
Melanie was top junior in this year’s European Triathlon Championships，finishing 13th.“I was almost as good as the top three in swimming and running，but much slower in cycling.That’s why I’m working very hard at it.” She is trying to talk her long?suffering parents，who will carry the ￡1,300 cost of her trip to New Zealand for this year’s world championships，into buying a ￡2,000 bike，so she can try 25km and 100km races later this year.
But there is another price to pay.“I don’t have a social life，”she says.“After two hours’ hard swimming on Friday night，I just want to go to sleep.But I phone and write to the other girls in the team.” What does she talk about？Boys？Clothes？“No，what sort of times they are achieving.”
1.How does Melanie differ from other athletes，according to the writer?
A．She worries less than they do.
B．She expresses herself differently.
C．Her family background is not like theirs.
D．Her aims are different from theirs.
2.What upset Melanie during the National Championships?
A．She was tricked by another competitor.
B．She felt she had let her team?mates down.
C．She made a mistake during part of the race.
D．She realized she couldn’t cycle as fast as she thought.
3.What is Melanie trying to persuade her parents to do?
A．Buy an expensive bike for her.
B．Give her half the cost of a bike.
C．Let her compete in longer races.
D．Pay for her to go to New Zealand.
4.What does Melanie say about her relationships with her team?mates?
A．She would like to see them more often.
B．She only discusses the triathlon with them.
C．She thinks they find her way of life strange.
D．She dislikes discussing boys or clothes with them.

If a Chinese comes to England and wants to drive his car there, he must know the English rules of the road and the English traffic signs．One rule is that he must always drive on the left．Another rule is that he mustn’t drive faster than thirty mph through town and villages．If he does not pay attention to this speed limit, the police will soon be after him．The third rule is that cars on the main road have right of way．It is not easy to drive in London, because the traffic is so busy and buses and trucks sometimes block the roads．It is much less difficult to find your way if you go by one of the red buses or the underground．There are bus stops at every street corner．And if you cannot find one, ask a policeman．He will help you at once．
