“He could have lived on his good looks, but instead he chose to live on talent and hard work.” This is how Internet users praised Chinese swimmer Ning Zetao.
On Aug 6, the 22-year-old won the 100-meter freestyle at the 2015 FINA Swimming World Championships in Russia. He was the first Asian to ever achieve this. Overnight the 191-cm-tall, handsome young man became the nation’s hero. Ning didn’t let the sudden fame(名声) get to his head. He said he only saw “a slight change” in his life after winning.
“My life is full of changes and challenges,” he said . “I welcome them and am never afraid of them.” The first big change in Ning’s life came at 2009.At the time, he specialized(专攻) in breaststroke(蛙泳) and was successful. But he felt a sharp pain in his knee. He suffered(遭受痛苦) every time he practiced his kicks. When he was 16,the knee pain got worse, and he had to stop swimming the breaststroke. Then he switched(转换)to sprint freestyle swimming. Ning didn’t let the change bring him down. Instead, he took advantage of it and became one of the best freestyle swimmers. Last year, he won four gold medals in freestyle races at the Incheon Asian Games in South Korea.
What is the next change Ning would like to see in his life? He said he wants to improve on his English. “English will help me communicate with foreign coaches and compete in the world games in the future.” Obviously Ning has high expectations for himself at the Rio Olympics next year. We wish him good luck.

Paul and I live in the same building. His room is on the sixth floor but mine is on the fifth. He’s very careless and sometimes he gets into trouble.
Last Friday afternoon the young man and his friends went to spend the weekend on a wild island. They could swim, fish, play the guitar and sleep in the quiet place at night. They enjoyed themselves there and could do anything they wanted. On the third morning they decided to get back to the land. But their boat hit a rock and soon went down. With the villagers’ help, they swam to the bank. Luckily none of them was hurt. They took a taxi and half an hour later they arrived at our town, but it was two in the night. The young man was hungry and thirsty. He wished to get home as soon as possible. Something was wrong with the lift, so he had to go up the stairs. He stopped by my door and brought out a key. Of course he could not open the door. Half an hour passed but he failed. He became angry and shouted, “I’ll cut you down with a knife!”
The noise woke me up and I opened the door. I understood at once what was happening and said, “You’re trying to open a wrong door, Paul!”
