- 试题详情及答案解析
- In his speech addressed to the students of Tsinghua University on Nov. 16, 2005, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger told them of his early experience as a weightlifter.
“…Now, I remember the first real workout (训练) I had. Eight miles away from my home village in Austria there was a gymnasium, and I rode there on a bicycle and trained for half an hour, because they said that after half an hour you should stop, otherwise, your body would get really sore (疼痛). But after half an hour I looked at my body, and nothing had happened. So I said, ‘I’d better work out for another half an hour.’ So I lifted some more. My strength didn’t improve; I didn’t see the muscles pop out or anything like that, so I trained for another half an hour. Then I left the gym and rode home, but after the first mile, I got numb (麻木)—I couldn’t feel the handle of the bicycle anymore—and I fell off the bike. I got up and tried it again. After another few yards. I fell off again. And I tried it three or four more times and couldn’t ride my bicycle because my body was so numb and my legs felt like noodles.
The next morning when I got up, my body was so sore that I couldn’t even lift my arms to comb my hair. But I learn a very important lesson—that pain means progress. Pain is progress. Each time my muscles were sore from a workout, I knew that they were growing and that they were getting stronger…”

__________________________________________________________________- 答案：Things that bring us pain make us grow
Arnold Schwarzenegger described his first training as a weightlifter and drew the conclusion that it is through pain that we strengthen ourselves and make progress.
From his story, we know that we shouldn’t be afraid of pain and that things that bring us pain make us grow. If he hadn’t exercised more than usual and had given up, his muscle would not have grown much stronger.
His experience reminds me of my first year in senior high school. I entered my name for the 3,000-metre race in the sports meet and started training for it. But a few days later, my legs were so sore that I wanted to quit. However, with my classmates’ encouragement, I picked up my courage again and went on training. As a result, I took the first place in the race and was highly praised by the school.
Many an example shows that we shouldn’t be afraid of painful experiences which will help us grow stronger both physically and mentally.
