10、t feels. Thousands of new followers on social media, meanwhile, are waiting for what you have to say.Then, prepare for a different kind of downhill. Diann Roffe knows the experience well. The American Alpine ski racer (高山滑雪运动员) won a gold medal at the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympics after winning a

11、 silver at the 1992 Albertville Games. She immediately announced her retirement. She was 26, an age when most people have just begun a career.Joining society at 26 can be tough. A professional athletes life is remarkably self-centered. You wake up taking your heart rate. You think of your own workou

12、t goals. You write down what you eat. After years of self-focus, if everything works out just right, you win. Most people will never experience a high that high. But theres a downside. “It was like being taken up to the highest mountain peak to see the view, and then being brought down, never to be

13、there again,” said Roffe. In the first years after her win, Roffe thought, “Here I am struggling with the masses to make ends meet and get school done, seeking that extraordinary feeling again.”Roffes friend, speed skater Cathy Turner, was the darling after she won a gold at the 1992 Albertville Gam

14、es. “I woke up every day with a long to-do list,” she recalled her early days after retirement. “It was like, What speech am I giving? What company am I going to address? I was Cathy the skater, the Olympian. Then I was Cathy the motivational speaker.” Turner found it difficult to make a transition

15、out of the sport. She returned to compete at the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympics, where she won another gold. She retired again, turned her attention to computers, but soon found herself with marital (婚姻的) troubles. Turner escaped her troubles the only way she knew she trained for the 1998 Games, w

16、here she didnt win a medal.If their stories illustrate how difficult post-gold years can be, Roffe and Turner also show why winning athletes often eventually succeed. “Think of what these people develop!” said California sports psychologist Doug Gardner. “Perseverance. Tenacity in dealing with failu

17、re. These skills are very useful in other aspects of life.” Turner combined her perseverance with her love of computer technology. She finally became a valued database (数据库) manager at a company in New York state. Roffe, 23 years after her retirement, runs a successful business which makes locker (储

22、. she felt she had finally made a transition out of her sportC. the U.S.A. team used the products of her companyD. her husband and kids accompanied her to the racesCTutoring a New NormalIts not piano lessons or dance classes. Nowadays, the biggest extracurricular activity in the West is going to a t

23、utor. “I spend about 800 Canadian dollars a month on tutors. Its costly,” says Pat, a mother in Canada. However, she adds,“After finding out half my daughters class had tutors, I felt like my child was going to fall behind because everyone else seemed to be ahead.”Shelley, a mother of three, also ha

24、s tutors constantly coming in and out of her home.“When I used to sit down with my children, it was hard to get them focused. I was always yelling. When I got a tutor once a week, they became focused for one entire hour and could get most of their homework done.”Tutoring isnt simply a private school

25、 phenomenon. Nor is it geared only toward lower-achieving students. In Canada alone, seven percent of high school students reported using a tutor in 2010. That increased to 15 percent in five years.Overall, parents hire tutors because they are worried that schools are not meeting their expectations,

26、 but there is also a cultural shift. A special value is placed on education in Asia, where tutoring is viewed as an extension of the school day. With a large number of Asians emigrating（移民）to the West in recent years, their attitudes towards education have had an impact.Another reason for the growth

27、 in business is parental frustration and their packed schedules.“A lot of parents just dont have time to help their children with homework,” says Julie Diamond, president of an American tutoring company. “Others couldnt help their children after Grade Three. ”There has been a shift in the attitudes,

28、 too. “Children used to get bullied （欺侮）for having a tutor，” Diamond says.“Now its becoming the norm to have one.”Children themselves dont seem to mind that they have a tutor. One parent feels surprised that so many of her childs classmates have tutors. “For the amount we pay in tuition, they should

29、 have as much extra help as they need,”she says. Still, shes now thinking of getting a tutor. Why? Her daughter has actually asked for one.（节选自MACLEANS）28. The tutoring business in the West has seen growth in recent years because_.immigrants from Asia have had an impact on peoples attitudes toward t

33、or have poor scores at school.D. Asians usually place more emphasis on education than Westerners.DDo big sporting events make us do more sport?I recently spent half a weekend sitting on the sofa watching the Davis Cup. I thought about going for a run, but I did not want to miss the rest of the match

34、. Soon it was starting to get dark, so I did not bother. Whenever I watch tennis, I think how nice it would be to play it regularly. But I have been thinking that for almost 20 years without actually setting foot on a court. The evidence would suggest that Im not the only one. When a country or city

35、 bids to host an international sporting event, it often promises that more people will take up sports as a result. London was no exception. Tessa Jowell, who helped to secure the 2012 Olympics for London, said they would be the first to set challenging but achievable targets as a measure of their am

36、bition: By 2012 two million more people would be physically active. And 60 percent of young people would be doing at least five hours of sports per week. In the end it did not turn out quite like that. Just over one-third of people in Britain take part in sports once a week. A report on Olympic and

37、Paralympic legacy has said that a big change in participation levels simply has not happened. Why isnt there a big increase in people taking part in sports after most sporting events? Perhaps it is a mistake to assume an automatic link between watching sports and playing it. While the games are on,

38、they actually encourage people to do just the opposite to spend whole sunny days not out playing sports, but inside sitting on the sofa with the curtains shut to stop the sun shining on the TV screen and spoiling the view. We dont expect half the audience of a hit musical to apply to drama school th

39、e next day, yet we seem to expect it of sporting events. We might have sat on the sofa doing an impression of Usain Bolts bow-and-arrow signature pose. But how many of us have been inspired by watching him sprint（短跑）100 meters? The high-level performances on show only remind people that they could n

40、ever match the elite athletes in their sporting achievements even if they trained full time. Maybe participation in sports is not the right legacy to expect after a major sporting event. Its not so much that the Olympics failed to get people to participate but rather that this was never going to be

41、the result. The Olympics can do many things, but maybe this cannot necessarily be one of them.（节选自BBC）32. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A.
