crowds at the American Gymnastics Academy Long Beach Open last month.
Lola suffers from a condition causing her to see double. She cannot see anything until she is just
five feet away. However, she competed with other young gymnasts with perfect vision. The judges
knew nothing of her condition, but they were still amazed by her perfect gymnastics skills.
"The floor isn"t any different for me," Lola says. "But the beam(平衡木) is only four inches wide,
so it"s hard enough for anyone to walk on, let alone jump on. So when I start to see two beams instead
of just the one, I need to steady(稳固) myself on my feet and really focus."
There is a saying that goes, "One minute on th
e stage is worth ten years off the stage." Even for normal people, you have to work very hard to achieve success, to say nothing of a blind girl like Lola.
Can you imagine how
much pain she endured(忍受) when she was practicing? It"s common for her to fall down from the beam and her accidents are more serious than other gymnasts. But that does
not stop her from practicing gymnastics.
Now gymnastics has become Lola"s passion and she plans to be a gymnastics coach when she"s
older.
B. being a coach
C. jumping on beam
D. more common accidents
B. Lola often falls off the beam when practicing
C. Lola is a beautiful blind girl
D. Lola has become a coach
B. she performed perfectly
C. she was a young coach
D. they had never seen that before
B. the judges prefer hard-working to perfect skills
C. Lola has no trouble to perform on the floor
D. normal people can achieve success easily
B. Careful Gymnast
C. Nothing Impossible
D. Strange Illness

You just need your own computer. Connect it to a university compute  r, in only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy allthe pictures and drawings. Robert Shostak is the director of the new computer museum. He says he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their works.
