I was just ten years old when my father decided to take me to see a stunt (特技) show starring the famous motorcyclist, Evel Knievel. After seeing the amazing stunts, I started dreaming about riding bikes and
18、performing stunts myself one day. My whole childhood was spent at skate parks; there was a group of us that would go there every day after school with our BMX bikes (a type of bicycle designed to ride on rough ground). After all, I would need to get some practice if I was going to be like my hero! M
19、y later teenage years were spent competing in endless BMX freestyling championships; some I won and others I lost. But it was never about the trophies (奖 杯). The atmosphere was magical, with over 1,000 riders at some events. I just loved the rush of energy I got from this, and from continuously tryi
20、ng newer, more daring stunts. In 1995, I was chosen to compete in an important international action sports competition. For once in my life I was nervous. I landed badly on my hand and got injured. It took me out of the sport for a while, but my attitude was: “If others have suffered more and gone o
21、n, then why cant I?” I had once read that Evel Knievel suffered a total of thirty- five broken bones. When the International Olympic Committee made BMX an Olympic sport, I couldnt have been more delighted! The way I see it, the sport finally got the recognition it deserved. Its entry into the Olympi

B PE classes usually mean running, jumping and playing ball games. But students at Aspire Middle School in Lacey, Washington spend the

Each class lasts about 50 minutes. It includes so
27、me warm- up activities such as walking laps (跑道的圈) around the school, controlled breathing, stretches (伸展) and a few minutes of relaxation.
