1、精品资料 你怎么称呼老师？如果老师最后没有总结一节课的重点的难点，你是否会认为老师的教学方法需要改进？你所经历的课堂，是讲座式还是讨论式？教师的教鞭“不怕太阳晒，也不怕那风雨狂，只怕先生骂我笨，没有学问无颜见爹娘”“太阳当空照，花儿对我笑，小鸟说早早早”Yes,I enjoy it very much.I enjoy watching it because figure skating requires a combination of strength,elegance and grace.We also call it“the ballet on ice.”Yes,there are ma

2、ny famous figure skaters in the world.For example,Chen Lu from China,Michelle Kwan from the U.S.,Irina Slutskaya from Russia,etc.Usually,I would take the difficulties as a challenge and try my best to find ways to overcome them with courage.They told him to quit,that he wasnt good enough,but figure

3、skater Paul Wylie refused to listen.When he stepped off the plane in Washington,D.C.,following the 1992 Winter Games,and everyone in the terminal started clapping,Paul Wylie almost stopped in his tracks.Whos behind me?He wondered.Despite the silver medal in his pocket,he couldnt believe that the app

4、lause wasfor him.From that moment on,Paul recognized that his life would never be the same.The silver medal he earned in Albertville,France,ushered the 27-year-old figure skater into a new existence.He was no longer a nobody who choked at big events,like the 1988 Calgary Olympics,where he finished a

5、n unimpressive 10th.No longer the recipient of advice from judges who,after Pauls performance in the 91 World Championships,suggested that he quit:“Make room for the younger skaters.”No longer the target of loaded questions from reporters covering the 91 Olympic Trials(“What are you doing here?”).No

6、 longer the skater incapable of finishing ahead of U.S.National Champion Todd Eldredge or three-time defending World Champion Kurt Browning of Canada.Now Paul Wylie was an Olympic hero.An athlete who kept going when doubters suggested he quit.A recent Harvard University graduate who had frequently f

7、antasized about life without grueling hours on the ice,but who persevered anyway.A young man who had discovered and demonstrated that goals can be reached no matter how many obstacles and botched attempts lie in the way.“A reporter who interviewed me at the Closing Ceremonies told me,You came here a

8、n unknown and now you go home a hero,”Paul says.“I thought that was interesting,because I was in France and unaware of how my journey was unfolding on U.S.television.It wasnt until I stepped off the plane that I realized people considered me a hero.They were changed by my story.They were changed by

9、the fact that I was able to persevere and win the silver medal even though almost everyone had counted me out.”At times,Paul had almost counted himself out.“Two months before the 92 Olympics,USA Today did a survey of different athletes and asked,How often do you contemplate retirement?The choices we

10、re:yearly,monthly or weekly.”“I wrote,daily,because it was hard to keep going.But I just decided,Im going to persevere and hang in there,because I have a shot.”Things definitely changed in 1992 in Albertville.“To have my story be one that brought tears to peoples eyes,because of the way it turned ar

11、ound that changed my life as well,”Paul says.“I looked at my skating career and saw it rewritten and beautiful,as opposed to a big disappointment and many years struggling toward some goal but not reaching it.”With medal in hand,Paul was suddenly ushered into a world of lucrative endorsements and fi

12、gure-skating world tours,of exclusive events and autograph seekers.Everything you might expect of a celebrity hero,but none of what Paul himself believes merits the honor of that title.“What makes a true hero is selfless service,”he says.“Or someone whose life and actions inspire you to be better an

13、d to be a bigger person.I dont think what I did was selfless service.But God used the story of my life to inspire others.”Heroism,Paul has observed,requires daily maintenance.Just as a skater achieves perfection by practising small parts of his larger routine day after day,a hero must look for ways

14、to serve on a regular basis not just in a crisis or more visible situation.As an Olympic medal loses its luster after years of storage,a hero will lose his credibility if he stops looking to the needs of others.When Paul joins the thousands of others watching the Olympics in Salt Lake City,he knows

15、that behind the scenes of each victory,of each record-setting finish,stand countless stories of everyday heroes.Heroes who refuse to give up.The silver medal he earned in Albertville,France,ushered the 27-year-old figure skater into a new existence.He was no longer a nobody who choked at big events,

16、like the 1988 Calgary Olympics,where he finished an unimpressive 10th.No longer the target of loaded questions from reporters covering the 91 Olympic Trials(“What are you doing here?”).But I just decided,Im going to persevere and hang in there,because I have a shot.I looked at my skating career and

17、saw it rewritten and beautiful.With medal in hand,Paul was suddenly ushered into a world of lucrative endorsements and figure-skating world tours,of exclusive events and autograph seekers.Heroism,Paul has observed,requires daily maintenance.a hero must look for ways to serve on a regular basis.As an
