A New Kind of Hero

In the Olympics, star athletes always get public’s attention. In the past, the athletes who got the gold medal in Olympics were popular. But now athletes who are not the winner, such as Lin Dan and Fu Yuanhui, also become popular.

Fu Yuanhui, 20 years old, is a Chinese backstroke（仰泳） athlete. She became a popular star on social media（媒体） with her exaggerated（夸张的） expressions, instead of her bronze medal（铜牌） in the women’s 100- meter backstroke. After the semi- final, she was asked if she had saved some energy for the final. Fu answered with a shock face, “ I have been using my ‘ pre – historical’ power （ an online phrase in China which means the power of nature that can turn the world upside down）.” This cute answer made her popular. Her happy personality （个性） won her millions of fans on the Internet overnight. People called her the “Pre – historical Girl”. She has become a new hero of Chinese people. She taught us a lesson: Sport is about the struggle （奋斗）and enjoyment, and most definitely not about gold medal.

Winning used to be everything for China’s Olympians. Athletes who got gold have fame and fortune（财富）, while those who disappointed often got ignored even criticized （批评）. Liu Xiang became a national hero at the 2004 Athens Olympics. But four years later at the Beijing Olympics, when an injury （受伤） forced him to give up running just before his first race, he was criticized.　

Now, China is ready to welcome a sports star without a gold medal. Public attitudes toward competitive sports （竞技运动） and the Olympics have lifted to a higher level.

The village of Hengly was going to have the Bean Olympics.It was a competition to see which kind of bean would grow the fastest and tallest.Everybody was excited.They couldn’t waited to show their best plants.

Cassie knew clearly which bean she would choose for the competition,for her family had planted a special “family bean.”It was a flat bean that her greatgrandparents had brought from Sicily.Her grandmother planted the beans every year and served them at many meals.Cassie was sure they would be unbeatable beans.

On the day of the competition,Cassie was disappointed that her beans were in last place.Ivan laughed at hr beans and said she could win a prize for the slowest,shortest beans.

Cassie was nervous.Would her family beans lose another time?

After the judges tasted the beans,Mr.Williams counted the results.“We have a winner,” Mr.Williams announced.“The judges all agree that Cassie’s beans are the winner.”
