一、阅读理解
A
(2022·浙江宁波高三二模模拟考试)I was 18 when I arrived in London. I'd been working for my dad's restaurant in France and I wanted a new experience. My friend from home lived in London and he used to tell me how incredible it was. I was really bored,so I took my luggage and left.
I was so lost when I arrived at Stansted. To me, English sounded like Chinese. I lived with my friend in East London for a while until I found a waiter role in restaurant. At the time, I had nothing else going on in my life. I used to get up,go to work, and sleep. It was no difference every day. Then one day on my lunch break, I saw a Gymbox. When I took a look in, there was an amazing Muay Thai (泰拳) class. I used to do boxing when I was 15 but I wasn't that serious about it.There and then I joined the gym and signed up for the Thai boxing team.
I fell in love with it.I never missed a session(一场).I started training a lot and the head coach said to me one day, “Do you want to fight?”I knew that's what I wanted to do. He put me in competitions and I won my first nine amateur games.After watching me progress,he offered to help me fight professionally.However,at one point I had a motorcycle crash and was out for 18 months.This year I've fought in Milan and London.I'd say I'm about 12 fights away from becoming a winner.
Sometimes I can't believe how far I've come from that day I arrived in England. I think everything that's happened has been because I'm committed. But anyone could do it. If you put in 100%, you'll get there. I'm just happy because I did a positive thing with my life. It feels good.
