A
Chen Yujie was born in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, in December 2008. Both of her parents were sprinters, but her own path to the track started in an unexpected way. As a young girl, she tried tennis and taekwondo. It was not until the fifth grade that her extraordinary running talent was discovered during a school race. A teacher noticed her speed and suggested she try track and field.
From that moment on, Chen began systematic training at the Ningbo Sports School. Her progress was rapid, but it came at a price. Like many young athletes, she had to balance her studies at Ningbo No. 7 Middle School with intense practice sessions in the evening. While other children were playing or resting, Chen was traveling between the classroom and the training ground. Even when she suffered a leg injury, she refused to stop entirely—she simply switched to arm exercises to maintain her fitness.
Her dedication soon paid off. At just 14, she broke records at the 2023 U15 World School Games in Brazil, winning both the 100m and 200m events. In 2024, she stunned the nation by defeating her idol, Asian Games champion Ge Manqi, at the National Championships. Ge Manqi later said, "We're keeping a spot for her in the national team." For Chen, these achievements were not simply the result of "talent." As she often says, "If you want to make progress, you must work harder than others."
1.What can we learn about Chen Yujie from Paragraph 1?
A.She started running at a very early age.
B.She was born into a family of tennis players.
C.Her talent was found by chance in a school race.
D.She gave up tennis because she was not good at it.
2.What does the underlined word "intense" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Short but easy.
B.Very strong and serious.
C.Relaxing and free.
D.Expensive and tiring.
3.Why did Chen switch to arm exercises when she had a leg injury?
A.Because she wanted to try a new sport.
B.Because her coach asked her to do so.
C.Because she wanted to keep her fitness.
D.Because she was tired of running.
4.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A.Talent is the most important thing for success.
B.Chen's achievements came from hard work.
C.Ge Manqi is a better runner than Chen.
D.Chen won the National Championships easily.
B
In September 2026, at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, Chen Yujie experienced both the heights of triumph and the sting of defeat. In the women's 100m final, the 17-year-old stunned the stadium by running 11.06 seconds, breaking a 24-year-old Asian Games record and claiming the gold medal.
But the victory was far from easy. Chen later admitted that she was extremely nervous before the race—her legs trembled uncontrollably during warm-ups. To calm herself, she lay down on a yoga mat with a blanket and actually fell asleep. "I was dreaming," she said. "I dreamt of the race and tried to rehearse it in my mind."
Two days later, however, came what she called a "lesson." In the 200m final, Chen ran 22.93 seconds, but Singapore's Pereira proved stronger, running 22.78 to defend her title. Chen had to settle for silver. She did not hide her disappointment. "This silver medal is a lesson before I turn 18," she said. "I need to break out of my comfort zone and challenge stronger competitors."
5.How did Chen Yujie calm herself before the 100m final?
A.By listening to music.
B.By talking to her coach.
C.By sleeping on a yoga mat.
D.By running a warm-up race.

A.It is a sad ending to her career.
B.It is a lesson that pushes her forward.
C.It shows she is weaker than Pereira.
D.It makes her want to give up running.
7.What is the writer's purpose of writing this passage?
A.To explain how to run a 100m race.
B.To show the spirit of a true athlete.
C.To introduce the history of the Asian Games.
D.To compare Chen Yujie with other runners.
C
The mixed 4x100m relay made its debut at the Asian Games, and China's team—Chen Jinfeng, Liu Guoyi, Shi Junhao, and Chen Yujie—was determined to make history. Chen Yujie was assigned the anchor leg, the fourth and final runner.
For the first two legs, China held a slim lead. But then came the turning point. Thailand's third runner, Puripol Boonson, powered through the bend, overtaking Shi Junhao and handing Thailand a clear advantage. When Chen Yujie received the baton, China was trailing.
The stadium held its breath. But Chen Yujie did not panic. She had prepared for this exact scenario. Before the race, she had told Shi Junhao, "As long as we hand over the baton at roughly the same time as Thailand, I'll be fine." With about 20 meters remaining, Chen Yujie surged past the Thai runner and crossed the line first. The time: 40.78 seconds—a new Asian Games record. China had won the first-ever mixed 4x100m relay gold.
"I told Shi Junhao to hold on, and he did," Chen said afterward with a smile. "Boonson is great, but in Thailand, he's probably just a 'little Shi Junhao.'"
8.What does the underlined word "trailing" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Running faster than others.
B.Being behind the leader.
C.Making a mistake.
D.Winning the race.
9.Why did Chen Yujie stay calm when she received the baton?
A.Because she knew the Thai runner was hurt.
B.Because she had prepared for this situation.
C.Because she was sure China would win easily.
D.Because she was too tired to feel nervous.
10.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.China won the relay with a time of 41.78 seconds.
B.Boonson ran the anchor leg for Thailand.
C.Chen Yujie was the fourth runner of the team.
D.It was the second time the mixed relay appeared at the Asian Games.
D

Health & Life
When I first read Chen Yujie’s parents‘ words, “It’s better to make slower progress than to get hurt,” I thought a lot about my own life.
I agree with the saying. Many students push themselves too hard because they are afraid of falling behind. But if we lose our health, we lose the chance to move forward at all.
This reminds me of last term. I stayed up late for a week before an exam, and then I caught a bad cold. I had to rest at home for three days and missed more lessons. I learned that taking care of myself is not wasting time—it is saving time.
In my daily life, I will go to bed before ten and exercise for half an hour every day. Health comes first, and only when we are healthy can we run farther.
Do One Thing at a Time
Hello, everyone. Today I‘d like to talk about “doing one thing at a time,” inspired by a saying from Chinese sprinter Chen Yujie.
Her words mean that we should give our full attention to whatever we are doing. If we always think about one thing while doing another, we will do both badly.
I once learned this lesson the hard way. Last month, I did my math homework while chatting online. I made many careless mistakes and had to redo it, which took me twice as long. The next day, I turned off my phone and did one thing at a time. I finished in just one hour.
From now on, I will put away my phone while studying and finish my tasks before I relax. In this way, I can study better and live a happier life.
Thank you for listening.
