     Twenty-six years after a terrible bicycle accident left her comatose  (昏迷)  for two months and with
permanent brain injuries ,Barbara Buchan, performs many actions more slowly than others. But on  
September  10  in  Beijing , Buchan , at 52 , the oldest member of the
United States Paralympic team, broke the record and won the gold medal for her disability class  in the
  individual 3 , 000-meter cycling pursuit.
     " You can be very upset and have everyone take care of you , " Buchan said by telephone from
Beijing, " or get back on your feet again."
      Buchan first dreamed of Olympic gold at 15 while watching the 1972 Munich Cames. She became
a top American cyclist by July 1982,when a terrible road-race crash injured her brain and left doctors
doubtful about whether she would survive. She was wearing only a soft leather helmet at the time :  her
accident made the rule put into practice that cyclists wear the hard shell helmets that are now common.
      Buchan recovered enough of her athletic ability to run track in the 1988 Paralympics in Seoul,where
she won a silver medal in the 800 meters. Women's cycling was not included in the Paralympics yet. So
Buchan trained to the point where she raced against men in the 2000 Paralympics in Sydney, Australia-she finished 9th and 10th in two races-and then successfully fought for a separate women's cycling program
beginning in 2004 in Athens,where she did not get a medal.
    Even though she was approaching her 50s, Buchan kept racing and again made the United States
Paralympic team for Beijing-where she is twice the age of most of her teammates and competitors.
    " Barbara's almost the leader of our team-she's been through it all," said Craig Griffin, the United States cycling coach. " She's never retired. She's never let her body go and then come back. I don't think age is
as big of a deal as people make it out to be. "
1. According to the  text , after the  accident,___________.  
A. Buchan asked her friends to take care of her
B. cyclists started to wear helmets in competition
C. Buchan could not answer questions correctly
D. doctors doubted whether Buchan could come back to life

    a. She won a gold medal in Beijing.
    b. She became a top American cyclist.
    c. She won a silver medal in the 800 meters.

A. c,d,b,a,e                        
B. b,c,d,a,e
C. b,d,c,e,a                        
D. c,b,d,e,a

3. What does the underlined phrase " get back on your feet"  in the second paragraph mean?  
A. Rise to your feet.                
B. Walk on your way.
C. Go beyond yourself.              
D. Depend on yourself.
4. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?  
A. The Making of a Hero
B. From a Loser to a Winner
C. All Roads Lead to Rome
D. Health Is Better than Wealth
