The next time you find an excuse to abandon your ambition, think of Chris Nikic. On November

7, 2020, 21-year-old Chris Nikic made history as the first person with Down Syndrome to attempt and

complete an Ironman. Organized by the World Triathlon Corporation, it requires athletes to swim

2.4 miles, bike 112 miles, and run a full 26.2-mile marathon—in under 17 hours!

The event, which took place in Panama City, Florida, began early in the morning with a two-lap

swim in the Gulf of Mexico. Chris, who was tied to his coach for safety, completed the course well

within 2 hour, 20-minute time limit.

The 112-mile bike ride, which Chris rode alone, proved a little more challenging. Not

accustomed to drinking water while riding, he was forced to make multiple stops. To make matters

worse, the young athlete was attacked by an army of red ants whose nest he accidentally stepped on

during a break. He also had a bleeding knee after crashing while speeding downhill. Despite these

setbacks, Chris managed to complete the lap before the 5:30 pm cut-off time.

The competition’s final challenge—a two-lap 26.2-mile run along the waterfront—started

smoothly. However, Chris was tired out by the tenth mile. But, with encouragement from his coach

and cheering bystanders, the youngster somehow managed to cross the finish line in 16 hours, 46

minutes, and 9 seconds—almost 15 minutes under the 17-hour time limit.

Chris is no stranger to overcoming challenges. Born with two holes in his heart, he underwent

surgery at just five months old. He was too weak to walk independently until he was four. Due to his

Down Syndrome, every expert his parents spoke to focused on the limitations rather than the

possibilities.

To Chris, this race was more than just a finish line and celebration of victory. It’s about being an

example to other kids and families that face similar barriers.

4. What does the underlined part “an Ironman” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A. A competition. B. An organization. C. A person. D. An artwork.

5. Which of the following best describes Chris’s bike ride experience?

A. Romantic. B. Eventful. C. Pleasant. D. Smooth.

6. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 5?

A. Stimulate readers’ interest. B. Introduce a new topic.

C. Summarize the previous paragraphs. D. Add some background information.

7. What can we learn from Chris’s story?

A. Winning is everything. B. No dream is unachievable.

C. Life is full of choices. D. Misfortune is a barrier to success.

Next time you go on holiday, it’s going to feel pretty different. You may have to wear a face

mask. And that means getting your point across in an unfamiliar language—all while keeping your

mouth covered—could become a bit of a problem.

That’s where the C-mask, by Japanese company Donut Robotics, comes in. It’s a smart,

Internet-connected mouth covering that can make calls, raise the wearer’s voice, and most helpfully

for travelers, translate conversations into eight different languages.

You simply place it over a standard face mask and connect it via Bluetooth to a smartphone. A

special app will then allow you to record live conversations, turn them into text and translate them

into English, Chinese, French, Korean, Thai, Indonesian, Spanish or Vietnamese (currently only

from Japanese)—making it easy to understand what people are saying. It won’t actually speak the

translated phrases for you, but it does have a built-in amplifier (扩音器) to help you make yourself

heard.

“We worked hard for years to develop a robot and we have used what we’ve researched to

create a product that responds to how COVID-19 has reshaped society,” Donut’s CEO recently told

reporters. The firm has already raised more than 28 million yen via crowdfunding to develop the

product, which will go on sale for 3,980 yen in Japan.

There are all manner of fashionable, eco-friendly masks you can now get your hands on—

check out these in London, Singapore and Barcelona. But in creating an affordable, high-tech mask,

Donut could well be on to something.

8. The C-mask is developed to _______.

A. seek fashion. B. reshape society. C. replace cellphones. D. promote communication.
