Usually, theres no certainty about who is really the most memorable one. But in 1948, everyone who attended the London Olympic Games agreed on who was the greatest legend: Fanny Blankers-Koen, a 30-year-old Dutch housewife. Before the Games, many people suggested she was too old to succeed, while others said she should stay at home with her children. When she arrived at the track, she pointed at one of them and said simply, “Ill show you.”And she did it. Fanny Blankers-Koen won the 100m race with ease. With an Olympic gold medal to her name, she wanted to give up and return home because she missed her children so much. But her husband, Jan Blankers, who was also her coach, asked her to stay. The hurdles (跨栏) gold came next, followed by a championship in the 200m, which she won by 0.7 seconds a huge margin (差额) that has not been matched since. Blankers-Koen celebrated those victories with a big shopping tour, and only arrived back at the stadium ten minutes before the start of the 4×100m match. Without any warming up, she ran the last leg. When she started to run, the Dutch were in the third. But Blankers-Koen won the race by a foot. If she hadnt been limited (限制) by the IOC rules to four events, she could have won two more golds. IOC rules forced her to drop two of her strongest events, the long jump and high jump, both of which she held the world record. On her return to the Netherlands, Queen Juliana gave her a bicycle, saying she wouldnt have to run so much. But she kept running until she finished her sport life as an athlete in 1955 with a 58th championship and went to three more Olympics as a coach.In 1999 when she was honored the greatest female athlete of the 20th century, Blankers-Koen asked, “Is it really me?” When she got a positive answer, she jumped up and did a little dance.4.

She wanted to stay with her children.D. She was too tired to take part in more events.6. What does the underlined word “drop” in paragraph 7 mean?A. Give up.B. Join in.C. Turn down.D. Pick out.7. How many championships did Fanny Blankers-Koen get in her lifetime?A. 31.B. 48.C. 58.D. 61.【重点词汇】1. athlete n. _2. memorable adj. _3. attend v. _4. celebrate v. _5. honor v. _6. positive adj. _【长难句翻译】But she kept running until she finished her sport life as an athlete in 1955 with a 58th championship and went to three more Olympics as a coach._完形填空Mr. Jackson is an Australian farmer.
