大学体验英语综合教程2第三版作文【篇一：大学体验英语综合教程2passagea课后作文】大学体验英语综合教程2passagea课后作文这位27岁的花样滑冰运动员在法国的阿尔贝维尔获得了银牌，从此走向全新的生活。
1988年的卡尔加里冬奥会上，他表现平平，只得了第10名，可如今他再也不是在大型赛事中举止失措的无名小卒了；1991年的世界锦标赛上，保罗比赛完后，裁判建议他退出冰坛，“给年轻选手让位”，如今再也听不到这样的建议了。
保罗说：“闭幕式上我接受采访，有个记者对我说，‘你来时不为人知，归时却名扬四海’。
我觉得这话很有意思，因为我当时在法国，根本不知道美国电视是怎么报道这次法国之旅的。
走下飞机，我才意识到人们把我当成了英雄。
他们对我的看法改变了，因为我们获胜了。
他们的看法改变了，因为我坚持不懈并且得了银牌，虽然没什么人看好我。
”有时，保罗也几乎不看好自己了。
“92年冬奥会两个月前，《今日美国》对运动员们进行了一次调查，问道，你经常考虑退役吗？选项有：‘每年’、‘每月’、‘每周’。
”“我写的是‘每天’，因为要坚持下去实在是太难了。
但我还是下定决心要坚持下去，决不放弃，我要全力拼搏。
”1992年在阿尔贝维尔，事情完全改观了。
保罗说：“我的经历使人们热泪盈眶，因为结果出人意料。
这同时也改变了我的生活，我看着自己的冰上生涯从此被改写，变得精彩纷呈。
其实也可能会是另一种结局：多年的努力化为乌有，结果令人大失所望。
”手中拿着奖牌，保罗突然进入到一个全新的世界：财源不断的签约、花样滑冰巡回赛、独家采访、追星族要求签名。
总之，凡是一个声名雀起的英雄能得到的一切他都得到了，但保罗认为这一头衔值得称道的东西远不在此。
保罗说：“无私的奉献能造就真正的英雄；用自己的经历和行为激励别人上进，变得更高尚，也算是一种英雄。
我认为我没有无私地奉献，但上帝用我的生活经历去激励了别的人。
”保罗还说，英雄是需要日日维护的。
要达到完美的地步，滑冰选手需苦练每个细小的动作，日复一日不能懈怠，英雄也一样，应该日日奉献，而不只是在危机关头或者在众人瞩目之时才有所作为。
