课时跟踪练(一) Introduction & Reading — Pre-reading Ⅰ.阅读理解A“Football is a very shortterm career. Football really prepares you for almost nothing. The only thing I got out of football was the ability to work hard,” says Gales Sayers. So what do you do after your glory days on the field are over? Here's what one of the top players, Gales Sayers, did after he_put_down_the_pigskin.Gales Sayers: 40, Chicago Bears, Running Back.Gales Sayers became famous in 1965. After recovering from a serious knee injury in 1968, Sayers returned to the Bears in 1969 and was awarded the George Halas Award as “the most courageous player in professional football”. At the award ceremony, he owed his prize to his friend and teammate Brian Piccolo who was dying of cancer.Sayers couldn't get away from the injuries, though, and another blow to his knee put an end to his football career in 1971. His personal life was unfortunate as well, as he and his wife, Linda, split up that year. Shortly after that, Sayers started a new life and career as an assistant athletic director in the University of Kansas. By 1976 he was moving up the ladder at Southern Illinois University, becoming the first AfricanAmerican athletic director at a major university.Sayers started a computer supplies company in 1984 with his second wife, Ardie, whom he married in 1973. The couple was looking for a field with a future, and computers seemed to have it all. Seventeen years later, the company that bears his name is a national provider of technology solutions, with 10 locations and over 350 employees across the country. Just like in the old days the honors started rolling in. Sayers was listed into the Chicago Area Entrepreneurship (企业家) Hall of Fame in 1999.语篇解读:曾有辉煌成就的足球运动员Sayers并没有因为足球职业的结束和个人生活的失意而放弃,他通过努力奋斗最终成了一名成功的企业家。

BBetty Skelton was often called “The First Lady of Firsts” because of the many records she set. She grew up in Pensacola, Florida, watching airplanes flying to and from a nearby navy base. As a child, she persuaded her parents to let her take flying lessons. By 12, Betty made her first flight alone, though notlegally permitted to do so until she turned 16.During the 1940s, female pilots were mostly prevented from commercialand military flying. So Betty Skelton decided to use her flight skillsin aerobatics (特技飞行), performing difficult turns, drops, and other exercises. She began performing and competing around the country.She won the International Feminine Aerobatic Championship (IFAC) for three years in a row, starting in 1948. She and her little Pitts Special plane the “Little Stinker” became famous.Dorothy Cochrane is an aviation expert who once studied and worked with Betty Skelton. “Betty was such a wonderful aerobatic pilot that she really set the bar high for other women to follow and she was a great role model for them. She really was as good as some of the men.”Once Ms. Skelton had made her mark on flying, she moved on to race cars, becoming the first female test driver in the race car industry. She set several land speed records. She also set a crosscountry record, driving from New York to California in under 57 hours. And she became one of the top women advertising experts working with General Motors in support of the company's Corvette car.Ms. Skelton died in August, 2011, at the age of 85. Visitors to the Washington area can see her “Little Stinker” plane at the National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. UdvarHazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia. The small red and white plane hangs high in the air above the entrance to the museum.语篇解读:Betty Skelton 是一位非常了不起的女性。
