Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi won the women's synchronized 10-meterplatform diving final at the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris on Wednesday, adding the seventh gold for their team. Quan was born in a small village in Zhanjiang, Guangdong province in 2007. She began diving at the age of 7. She was encouraged to try the sport because of the agility (敏捷) she showed while jumping at school. People thought Quan was born with great talent in diving, but Quan didn’t think so. “I just dived every day. Each day, I needed to practice about seven hours, and some days I practiced for 10 hours,” she told China Daily. And she remembered how it felt when she started to learn diving. “It was so much fun, she said. However, it takes more than just interest for a beginner to become successful. “If I stop training for a day or two, I feel scared when I get back on the 10-meter board. A diver needs to practice every day and try her best every day,” she added. Fans like not only Quan’s excellent skills, but also her personalities. “Quan is actually a very easy-going person. She is always the funniest one in our team. She always wears a smile, and she is the reason why our team always has such a great atmosphere (氛围)” said 18-year-old Chen Yuxi, Quan’s partner, during an interview with China Daily. Task I: Finish the chart according to the article. Fill in each blank with no more than 3 words. 你认识照片里的女孩吗？她的名字是全红婵。 全红婵与陈芋汐周三在巴黎2024 年夏季奥运会女子双人十米跳台决赛中夺冠，为中国队再添第七枚金牌。 全红婵于2007年出生在广东省湛江市的一个小村庄。她7岁开始跳水。她在学校跳跃时表现出的敏捷性鼓励她尝试这项运动。 人们认为全红婵天生就具有跳水天赋，但她并不这么认为。她告诉《中国日报》：“我只是每天跳水。每天我需要练习大约七个小时，有时我会练习10个小时。”她还记得刚开始学习跳水时的感觉：“这太有趣了。”然而，对于初学者来说，要取得成功，光有兴趣是不够的。“如果我停止训练一两天，当我回到10米跳板上时会感到害怕。一个跳水运动员需要每天都练习，并且每天都尽最大努力，”她补充道。 粉丝们不仅喜欢全红婵卓越的技能，还喜欢她的个性。“全红婵实际上是一个非常容易相处的人。她总是我们团队中最有趣的一个。她总是面带微笑，她是我们团队总是有如此良好氛围的原因，”18岁的陈芋汐，全红婵的搭档，在《中国日报》的一次采访中说。 《Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone》节选 The second-years were given something new to think about during their Easter holidays. The time had come to choose their subjects for the third year, a matter that Hermione, at least, took very seriously. 在复活节假日期间，二年级学生又有了新的事情要考虑。他们应该选择三年级的课程了，这件事，至少在赫敏看来，是需要慎重对待的。 ‘It could affect our whole future,’ she told Harry and Ron, as they pored over lists of new subjects, marking them with ticks. “这会影响到我们的整个未来。”她对哈利和罗恩说。这时他们都在仔细研究新课程名单，在上面做着记号。 ‘I just want to give up Potions,’ said Harry. “我只想放弃魔药课。”哈利说。 ‘We can't,’ said Ron gloomily. ‘We keep all our old subjects, or l’d’ve ditched Defence Against the Dark Arts.’ “不可能，”罗恩情绪低落地说，“原来的科目都得上，不然我早就扔掉黑魔法防御术课了。” ‘But that’s very important!’ said Hermione, shocked. “但那门课是很重要的!”赫敏吃惊地说。 ‘Not the way Lockhart teaches it,’ said Ron. ‘I haven't learned anything from him except not to set pixies loose.’ “像洛哈特那种教法，我看未必。”罗恩说，“除了不要把小精灵放出来，我没有从他那里学到任何东西。” Neville Longbottom had been sent letters from all the witches and wizards in his family, all giving him different advice on what to choose. Confused and worried, he sat reading the subject lists with his tongue poking out, asking people whether they thought Arithmancy sounded more difficult than Study of Ancient Runes. 纳威﹒隆巴顿家里的那些男男女女的巫师纷纷给他来信，在选课的问题上对他提出许多不同的建议。纳威无所适从，心里很紧张。他坐在那里看课程单，舌头伸在外面，问别人是不是觉得算术占卜听上去比古代如尼文更加难学。 Dean Thomas, who, like Harry, had grown up with Muggles, ended up closing his eyes and jabbing his wand at the list, then picking the subjects it landed on. 迪安﹒托马斯和哈利一样，是在麻瓜身边长大的。他最后闭上眼睛，用魔杖在单子上随意地点来点去，点到哪门课就选哪门课。 Hermione took nobody's advice but signed up for everything. 赫敏没有听从任何人的建议，在所有科目上都签了名。 Hayliee likes computer science best.
