The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics saw the rise (升起) of new Chinese sports stars. Many post-00s athletes (运动员) showed love for their sports.
Gu Ailing won two medals (奖牌) from her first two events—one gold (金牌), one silver (银牌). The 18-year-old won the women’s freeski (自由式滑雪) big air event. She never tried this amazing jump before. She made four and a half rotations (旋转) in the air before landing backward. The teenager was so excited that she cried after the jump. “The tears were mostly of joy, because I pushed myself to the limit (极限),” she said.
Gu wants to send a message to young winter sports lovers. “Just go for it!” she said.
Su Yiming, who just turned 18, agrees with Gu. He won a gold medal for snowboarding (单板滑雪) in the men’s big air and a silver medal in the slopestyle (坡面障碍技巧). He showed a difficult trick—five full rotations in the air.
“As a snowboard lover, I don’t care much about the score. Instead I just want to make more brilliant (出色的) tricks (技巧). The happiness comes from that.” said Su.
Su said he was “too excited” when he stood on the podium (领奖台) with his childhood idols (偶像)—Canadian snowboarders Max Parrot and Mark McMorris.

When my daughter was in primary school, she brought home four small roots (根) from school to plant. None of them looked very strong, but with hope for the future, I planted them in our garden with enough sunlight. Over the years, because of the poor soil (土壤), three of them died. Only one survived (存活).
It grew crooked (弯弯曲曲的) and very slowly. It looked more like a fat bush (灌木从) than a tree. Later, I noticed that it was starting to die. The lower branches (树枝) were becoming bare (光秃秃的). Only the top third of the tree was still green. I did my best to save it. I fed it a lot of fertilizer (肥料), but it didn’t work.
Later one morning, I went out and looked at it again. I thought maybe I should just cut it down. It would make the garden look cleaner. As I take a closer look at it, however, I saw something in the leaves. A bird built a nest (巢) in the topmost branches. I smiled when I looked at it. I thought maybe this old tree was still useful. It might not be healthy or pretty, but it gave a bird a home.
This tree told me all of our lives have a purpose (目的). Young and strong or old and sick, we have things to do, love to give, and joy to share. We can help to make this world a better and more beautiful place.
( ) 61. What would be the best title for the passage
A. A Bird’s Nest. B. Every Root Grows into a Home.
C. A Tree in My Garden. D. Sharing joy.
62. 请模仿第二段划线部分用 “... look(s)/looked more like... than...” 造句。
