(2025江苏省常州市第一中学高三月考)I'm52,and as surprising as it may seem.Ima
gymnast.In a sport for young girls,I have found an unlikely path to joy.When I enter the gym,no
matter how much stress I might be feeling.my mind clears and I forget my life.I think of nothing
but what I am doing.
When I was 9,I went every Saturday to a gymnastic academy.The coach had gray hair and
wore ballet shoes and had boundless enthusiasm.He would say,"You are going to be a gymnast."
And I believed him.I vividly remember the first time I did a roundoff back handspring by myself,
the weightlessness of it.I lived for Saturday mornings.I only ever did gymnastics recreationally-I
didn't even know real gyms existed-but I always loved it.
That long dormant (love came roaring back in my forties.It happened in an instant,at
parents'day for my daughter's beginning gymnastics class.The bars were just sitting there,and I
had this overwhelming urge to grab hold and swing.But I couldn't make it through the warmup(
at the first adult class I went.I felt bad during conditioning.I was the oldest person there.
But that spark of memory glowed with possibility.I went back to class again,and again.It was
hard and it was humbling.But soon I was doing back handsprings like I used to.
There is nothing like the thrill of getting a new skill,that combination of speed,mechanics,
timing.muscles,guts.There is an ineffable(不可言喻的)element,too,something like faith.By the
time we reach middle age,most of us have had to deal with our fair share of unwelcome surprises,
like illness,family crisis or the death of a beloved parent But gymnastics has brought the most
delightful surprises-I keep getting better,surpassing what I thought were limits,amazing
