It was an exciting moment for Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo, a retired married couple from Harbin, China.
It was also a great moment for China because it was the country"s first gold medal in the pairs figure (花样)
skating competition at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games.
Everyone was very quiet when Shen and Zhao were skating onto the ice. They were expecting something
wonderful to happen. As soon as the music started, Shen and Zhao skated around the field quickly with
beautiful style; every move was perfect. When the music stopped, all the people cheered. In the end Shen
and Zhao won the Olympic gold medal.
In China, winter sports are not as popular as they are in America and Northern European countries. So
China sent only 90 athletes to Vancouver to take in a few, carefully chosen sports. Such a good decision also
led to Wang Meng and Zhao Yang winning gold medals in the little known, but exciting sports of short track
(轨道) speed skating.
China did not win a lot of medals at these Winter Games. Most of the events are still very new to China
and need to be developed. But Chinese athletes learn very quickly. For example, China"s women"s curling team (冰壶队) only began in 2003, but they were No. 1 at the 2009 World Women"s Curling Championship.
This means that with hard work and a bit of luck, China"s winter stars could soon shine on the world
stage.
B. short track speed skating
C. women"s curling
D. long track speed skating

bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, "Happiness depends upon ourselves." In other words,
we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend too much time
thinking about the future-for example, getting into college or getting a good job-that we fail to enjoy the
present. You should enjoy life"s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite
music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and
healthier lives.
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can
forget about their problems and only think about the activities.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they
spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a
friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the
house by washing the dishes.
