Passage One

短文一

Athletes are seen as heroes, because they can do things that most of us can't do. They can hit fastballs coming at them at nearly 100 miles an hour, and leap and hang in the air, seemingly defy gravity. They get paid millions of dollars for their efforts, and their names and faces appear on everything, from running shoes to advertising boards. Athletes who are champions also show qualities such as perseverance, dedication, and the ability to keep their cool under pressure. Many show those same qualities off the playing field too. Stories about superstar athletes teach us about working hard, and believing in ourselves, and in being passionate about what we do.

运动员被视为英雄，因为他们能做到我们大多数人都做不到的事情。他们可以击中来势汹汹、时速近100英里的快球，他们可以跳跃并悬挂在空中，仿佛挑战重力。他们因努力而获得数百万美元的报酬，他们的名字和面孔出现在各种物品上，从跑鞋到广告牌都有。冠军运动员也展现出如毅力、奉献精神和在压力下保持冷静等品质。许多运动员在赛场外也展现出同样的品质。关于超级明星运动员的故事教会我们努力工作，相信自己，并对我们所做的事情充满热情。

Although it's usually bad behavior that gets an athlete a spot on the 6 o'clock news, many high profile players work hard to be positive role models to children. They raise money for charities and act as mentors, talking to student groups and volunteering their time to programs that help children keep off drugs and stay in school. Still, even the greatest champions have flaws. Just because an athlete has the perfect golf swing, doesn't mean he is the perfect parent, friend, or spokesperson. They also make mistakes. Separating an athlete's professional and personal lives can be tough. When a sports star gets in trouble with the law, or does something wrong in their private life, fans are often left disappointed. Before he died, baseball star Mickey Mantle, who was plagued with alcohol problems, told young ballplayers and the fans who admired him, "Play like me, don't be like me."

虽然通常是不好的行为让运动员出现在六点钟的新闻中，但许多知名运动员都努力成为孩子们的积极榜样。他们为慈善机构筹款，担任导师，与学生团体交谈，并将时间投入到帮助儿童远离毒品和留在学校的项目中。然而，即使是最伟大的冠军也有缺点。仅仅因为一个运动员有完美的高尔夫挥杆，并不意味着他就是完美的父母、朋友或代言人。他们也会犯错。将运动员的职业生活和个人生活分开可能很艰难。当体育明星触犯法律或在私生活中做错事时，粉丝们常常感到失望。在去世前，深受酒精问题困扰的棒球明星米奇·曼托曾告诉年轻的棒球运动员和崇拜他的粉丝们：“学我打球，别学我为人。”
