Paula Radcliffe, chasing(角逐)a third London marathon title(冠军), says she has become a stronger
person after her terrible experience at the 2004 Athens Games.
Radcliffe, who failed to complete the Olympic marathon and the 10,000m last August, said: “Athens made me a stronger person and it made me care about criticism(批评).”
“In the past I wanted to please everyone, but now I am going to listen even more to the people around me.”She didn"t care about criticism made at the weekend by Liz McColgan, who felt Radcliffe should
have rested and let her body recover after her failure in Athens.
“Liz is someone I look up to but she hasn"t spoken to me last year and if she really cared for me, I"m
sure she would have contacted(联系)me.”
Instead Radcliffe won the New York City marathon just 11 weeks after Athens.
“In New York I wasn"t in my best state but I did know I was good enough to win the race.”
Radcliffe insisted her only goal in Sunday"s race would be winning a third title and not chasing world
records.
However, Radcliffe has not ruled out(排除)in the future chasing her “final” world record time and
questioned sayings that marathon runners have the ability in their career to produce only four or five
world-class times.
“I don"t think that---although I can"t put a number on it,” said Radcliffe. “That changes from person to person.”
Radcliffe is sure she can better her winning London 2003 performance some point in the future.
Following a successful three-month training period in the United States, the 31-year-old will chase a third
title on Sunday after her first victory in 2002 and again 12 months later.
Radcliffe clocked a time 2:18:56 in her first 42.2-kilometre race three years ago.
Afterwards she set a “mixed course” mark of 2:17:18 five months later in Chicago before lowering
that to a time of 2:15:25 in the 2003 London event.
B. rest for five months
C. love people around her more
D. develop respect for Liz
B. Radcliffe didn’t fully recover before the New York City marathon.

D. Radcliffe had a 3-month training before the New York City marathon.

He appeared in more than 800 commercials (商业广告) for the hamburger chain named for his
daughter. "As long as it works," he said in 1991, "I"ll continue to do those commercials."
Even though he was successful, Thomas remained troubled by his childhood. "He still won"t let
anyone see his feet, which are out of shape because he never had proper fitting shoes," Wendy said
in 1993. Born to a single mother, he was adopted as a baby by Rex and Auleva Thomas of Kalamazoo
in Michigan. After Auleva died when he was 5, Thomas spent years on the road as Rex traveled around
seeking construction work. "He fed me," Thomas said, "and if I got out of line, he"d beat me."
Moving out on his own at 15, Thomas worked, first as a waiter, in many restaurants. But he had
something much better in mind. "I thought if I owned a restaurant," he said, "I could eat for free." A
1956 meeting with Harland Sanders led Thomas to a career as the manager of a Kentucky Fried
Chicken restaurant that made him a millionaire in 1968.
In 1969, after breaking with Sanders, Thomas started the first Wendy"s Old Fashioned Hamburgers,
in Columbus, Ohio, which set itself apart by serving made to order burgers. With 6,000 restaurants
worldwide, the chain now makes $ 6 billion a year in sales.
Although troubled by his own experience with adoption, Thomas, married since 1954 to Lorraine,
66, and with four grown kids besides Wendy, felt it could offer a future for other children. He started
the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption in 1992.
In 1993, Thomas, who had left school at 15, graduated from Coconut Creek High School in Florida.
He even took Lorraine to the graduation dance party. The kids voted him Most Likely to Succeed.

but they certainly recognize his successor, Bugs Bunny. Oswald, Bugs, and hundreds of other
characters were created by Walt Disney, perhaps the most famous cartoonist in history.
Born in Chicago in 1901, Walt Disney always wanted to be an artist. After returning from
World War I, in which he drove an ambulance, Disney worked as a commercial artist. He
enjoyed drawing cartoons more than anything else, and decided to try his hand at a technology
that was new at the time, moving pictures.
In the 1920"s, he produced several films where he made cartoon characters move as if by
magic. The technique Disney used was painstaking. He made hundreds or even thousands of
repeated drawings of the same character. In each drawing, the character was changed just a
bit. A film was taken of the series of drawings, and when it was shown, the characters appeared
to move. The process, called animation, is still used today, although computers have made the
process much easier.
In 1928, Disney created his most famous character, Mortimer Mouse, who we know today
as Mickey. The mouse starred in a cartoon called Steamboat Willie, which was unusual because
it involved the use of a sound track. Within the next few years, Disney invented many of his other
characters.
The list of Disney"s animation successes is long and memorable. It includes Pinocchio, Dumbo,
Bambi, Cinderella, and Peter Pan. Perhaps his most remarkable animated film is Snow White and
the Seven Dwarfs. Created in 1937, it was an immediate success. Today, more than fifty years later,
it is still one of the most popular films for children.

B. Taking a long time and involving much hard work.

Charlie Chaplin was the first international star of the modern era. He was especially beloved
for his Little Tramp 1 . He was the first screen artist to write, 2 and perform in his own films;
in fact, 3 , Charlie Chaplin even wrote the music for his movies. He was also the first artist to
use his work to pass a 4 of equality and justice for all - 5 for the "little guy". Charlie Chaplin"s
career and life made 6 the first global icon (偶像); his too-small hat, his too large shoes and his
trademark moustache were instantly 7 by audiences from Chicago to China, from Iowa City to
India. And they 8 are today. All of these make Charlie Chaplin the first citizen of our global village.
Chaplin, a native of London, was born in 9 on April 16, 1889 to music hall performers. Chaplin
only saw his 10 twice until the age of seven. The man 11 him and his mother about a year after

asylum and then 20 Charlie and his brother, to live with her once again.
