Not so long ago, most people didn’t know who Shelly Ann Francis Pryce was going to

become. She was just an average high school athlete. There was every indication that she was

just another American teenager without much of a future. However, one person wants to change

this. Stephen Francis observed then eighteen-year-old Shelly Ann as a track meet and was

convinced that he had seen the beginning of true greatness. Her time were not exactly

impressive, but even so, he seemed there was something trying to get out, something the other

coaches had overlooked when they had assessed her and found her lacking. He decided to offer

Shelly Ann a place in his very strict training seasons. Their cooperation quickly produced

results, and a few year later at Jamaica’s Olympic games in early 2008, Shelly Ann, who at that

time only ranked number 70 in the world, beat Jamaica’s unchallenged queen of the sprint(短

跑).

“Where did she come from?” asked an astonished sprinting world, before concluding that

she must be one of those one-hit wonders that spring up from time to time, only to disappear

again without signs. But Shelly Ann was to prove that she was anything but a one-hit wonder.

At the Beijing Olympic she swept away any doubts about her ability to perform consistently by

becoming the first Jamaican woman ever to win the 100 meters Olympic gold. She did it again

one year on at the World Championship in Briton, becoming world champion with a time of

10.73--- the fourth record ever.

Shelly-Ann is a little woman with a big smile. She has a mental toughness that did not

come about by chance. Her journey to becoming the fastest woman on earth has been anything

but smooth and effortless. She grew up in one of Jamaica’s toughest inner-city communities

known as Waterhouse, where she lived in a one-room apartment, sleeping four in a bed with her

mother and two brothers. Waterhouse, one of the poorest communities in Jamaica, is a really

violent and overpopulated place. Several of Shelly-Ann's friends and family were caught up in

the killings; one of her cousins was shot dead only a few streets away from where she lived.

Sometimes her family didn’t have enough to eat. She ran at the school championships

barefooted because she couldn’t afford shoes. Her mother Maxime, one of a family of fourteen,

had been an athlete herself as a young girl but, like so many other girls in Waterhouse, had to

stop after she had her first baby. Maxime’s early entry into the adult world with its

responsibilities gave her the determination to ensure that her kids would not end up in

Waterhouse's roundabout of poverty. One of the first things Maxime used to do with Shelly-Ann

was taking her to the track, and she was ready to sacrifice everything.

It didn't take long for Shelly-Ann to realize that sports could be her way out of Waterhouse.

On a summer evening in Beijing in 2008, all those long, hard hours of work and commitment

finally bore fruit. The barefoot kid who just a few years previously had been living in poverty,

surrounded by criminals and violence, had written a new chapter in the history of sports.

But Shelly-Ann’s victory was far greater than that. The night she won Olympic gold in

Beijing, the routine murders in Waterhouse and the drug wars in the neighboring streets

stopped. The dark cloud above one of the world’s toughest criminal neighborhoods simply

disappeared for a few days. “ I have so much fire burning for my country,” Shelly said. She

plans to start a foundation for homeless children and wants to build a community centre in

Waterhouse. She hopes to inspire the Jamaicans to lay down their weapons. She intends to fight

to make it a woman’s as well as a man’s world.

As Muhammad Ali puts it, “Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from

something they have deep inside them. A desire, a dream, a vision.” One of the things Shelly-

Ann can be proud of is her understanding of this truth.

B. She had big problems maintaining her performance.

C. He sensed a great potential in her despite her weaknesses.

D. She suffered a lot of defeats at the previous track meets.

5. What did the sprinting world think of Shelly-Ann before the 2008 Olympic Games?

C. She would become a promising star. D. Her talent for sprinting was known to

all.

6. What made Maxime decide to train her daughter on the track?

According to the latest survey by the Asian Development Bank, Asian parents are spending

billions of dollars on private tutors (家庭教师) for their children and the practice is growing

despite doubts about its effectiveness.

“Shadow education” is an expanding business not only in wealthy countries, but also in some

of the region’s poorer nations as parents try to give their children the best start in life, the study

said. Nearly nine out of 10 South Korean elementary pupils receive private tutoring, while the

figure for primary school children in India’s West Bengal state stands at six out of 10.

The study estimated that the costs of private tutoring in South Korea were equivalent (相等

的) to 80 percent of government spending on public education. Japan spent $12 billion on extra

teaching in 2011, while the figure for Singapore stood at US$ 680 million in 2009.

Extra academic work aims to help slow learners and support high achievers. Many Asian

parents view it as a constructive way for adolescents to spend their spare time. However, it can

also reduce the students’ time for sports and other activities important for their overall

development as well as cause social tensions as richer families are able to pay for better-quality

tutoring, the study said.

The study calls for a review of educational systems to make such extra teaching less attractive.

9. Why is “Shadow education" an expanding business?

A. Because parents want to spend their money.

B. Because children don't want to go to school.

C. Because parents want to give their children the best start in life.

D. Because parents want their children to stay with teachers.

10. According to the article, what is the purpose of extra academic work?

A. To prepare children for all kinds of academic contests.

B. To aid slow learners and support high achievers.
