【文章梗概】一由于队友受伤，我幸运地成为了跳马决赛的替补队员。虽然我非常惊讶并且紧张害怕，但我抓住这次宝贵的机会。在队长和家人的支持下，我信心满满地参加决赛，但在起跳过程中步伐仓促，最后导致落地不稳。我非常羞愧。在家人的安慰下，我重拾信心参加第二天的平衡木决赛。以享受比赛的心态参加平衡木决赛，我完美地完成了动作，意料之外获得了金牌。

You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence. . . .

Ps. 16:11

I was not only a little surprised, but worried to find myself in the Vault Finals at the 1996 Olympic Games when Kerri Strug was forced to pull out as a result of an ankle injury. I had done well during the team competition, but had just missed qualifying for the Vault Finals competition. When my coach, Steve, and I were notified that I’d become eligible to compete in this event, I wasn’t feeling prepared to be Kerri’s replacement.

My first reaction was, How can I? Due to an extremely sore wrist, I had not been able to work a second vault. Vault Finals require that the gymnast compete on two vaults from two different vault families. This was a moment when all of my gymnastics experience had to be there to support me. Steve encouraged me to give it a try.

Once I recovered from the initial shock, I knew that I didn’t want to give up the opportunity to compete in another event of the 1996 Olympics. I fully intended to give it my best shot from that moment forward. With a positive attitude, and with support from Steve and my parents, I gave it everything I had during my workouts, and they went great. I didn’t miss a single vault—even while warming up for the actual competition. I focused on how great an opportunity it was to be given the chance to compete.

However, my positive attitude and joy quickly turned to tears of embarrassment and discouragement. When the time came to compete, I sprinted hard down the runway, but as I approached the springboard, I knew that my steps were off. I was not coming onto the vault horse at the right place! In an instant, it was all over. I had missed placing one of my hands down on the horse, which resulted in my performing an outrageousflip in the air and landing on my seat right in front of literally hundreds of thousands of people! I felt the hot flush of embarrassment swimming from my stomach straight up to my bright red face.

As soon as the event was over, I headed up to the USA gymnastics suite, where I knew my parents would be waiting for me. My tears were flowing pretty freely, so my parents took me aside so that we could have a little privacy. I try always to place my trust in God to direct my path. I never pray to win, but I always ask God to help me do my best. I had been so full of joy and confidence going into the competition. What had happened?

Mom asked me if I remembered the poem Footprints that hung on the wall of my room. She reminded me that God had always been walking with me. Never had he abandoned me. Maybe it was time for me to allow God to carry me. Rather than be worried about once again failing, I could remember that I didn’t have to do this all by myself. All I needed to remember was that God is always by my side. Instead of dreading Beam Finals the next day, I needed to be grateful for the opportunity to express the talent that God had given me, and not to be concerned about winning or losing.

The next evening, I was calm and at peace while I waited for my turn to compete. When I mounted the beam, I heard a man yell at someone in the crowd, “Turn your [camera] flash off!” I consciously thought, “How sweet of him to be concerned about my welfare.” A camera flash can cause an accident that could potentially end a career, or worse. It struck me that I had never before heard what was going on around me when I was competing. I was usually so tremendously focused, I had blocked out everything else. But that night’s competition was different from any other. I felt an emotional connection with the audience whose love of gymnastics, and the athletes who represented the sport, seemed to completely surround me. At that moment, I was able to let in all the joy of the evening, of being in the Olympic Games, and of the sport of gymnastics.

I took a few calming breaths and thanked God for being with me, and for the talent that he has given me. And then, I went for it!

I aced my routine! I felt so great when my feet hit the mat. I honestly had no idea as to whether or not I would win a medal. But at that moment, medals truly did not matter. I had accomplished something far greater than a world record in gymnastics. I had felt the comfort and strength of God’s presence with every footstep of the routine.

I took home an Olympic Gold Medal to remind me of that night. But the night was golden in more ways than one. I will always treasure in my heart what it is like to experience God’s presence.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

 Mr. Tai, the teacher in charge of sports at Sarasota High School in Florida, had just celebrated his 58th birthday—an age at which many would think seriously of retiring (退休). However, it was not so with Mr. Tai. He had an outstanding record of athletic achievements in leading the school’s sports team. Some of the students he had trained had become national runners. The school board agreed he continued to work as they did not want to lose the services of so meone who had successfully led the school sports tea m to the finals of the National Athletics  Championships.

In the year before, however, the school team did not get as many medals in the National Athletics Championships as expected. Mr. Tai’s hopes were fired this year by two promising star athletes, Farid and Hassan, who happened to be twins.

In the school’s sports meeting, Farid broke the school’s twenty-year record for the 100meters event. His brother, Hassan, was just a second behind. Since Hassan had an ankle (踝关节) injury, Mr.Tai decided to submit (提交) only Farid’s name to the finals of the National Athletics Championships. On the day he submitted the results of the best runner in the school, he mistakenly wrote Hassan’s name instead, without noticing it.

When Mr.Tai received the list of the finalists (参加决赛者) in event, he was quite surprised and immediately he realized that he had made the mistake. However, it was too late to inform the sports secretariat (秘书处). Apart from that, pride also did not allow him to admit his mistake at that moment. Therefore, He decided to inform Farid’s brother, Hassan, and start to train him in the final preparations for this event.

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右：

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Hearing that he was not a finalist, Farid could not believe his ears.

Unluckily, Hassan lost the race.

拓展练习读后续写参考范文

Hearing that he was not a finalist, Farid could not believe his ears. Even though he was glad that his brother had been on the list, he was quite disappointed and upset with the result. He wondered why he was not selected to take part in the finals. Without any hesitation, he went to talk with Mr. Tai about the unexpected result. Mr. Tai explained Farid the reason and made an apology to the boy. Realizing that his hope for athletic honor was ruined, Farid felt extremely discouraged.

Unluckily, Hassan lost the race. Hassan’s old ankle injury troubled him during the race and he came in last, which disappointed all. Mr. Tai made an apology again. Though feeling angry and sad, Farid chose to accept the fact positively instead of giving up. Under the guidance of Mr. Tai, he worked even harder in the following days. In the end, he did well enough to win honor for the school in the next National Athletics Championships.
