Trying to get to Wimbledon Of all the eyes watching Victoria Azarenka and Maria Sharapova on Wimbledon’s courts，one such young girl, 14-year-old Jodie Burrage，is keener (热切的) than most.She hopes that one day she can follow them in their footsteps. Jodie is the national champion in her age group.The rising tennis star is ranked 21st in Europe.However，the chances of becoming a competitor on Wimbledon’s courts are still small.The problems she and her parents face are countless. Jodie’s parents now have to pay around ￡25,000 a year in total for her tennis career.Alarmingly，Jodie’s current (目前的) costs are nothing compared to what her parents will have to pay if they send her to a tennis school abroad，the obvious next step for a tennis star. Jodie said：“There have been a few sacrifices (牺牲)．I don’t really get that many holidays，and I don’t really go to parties or hang around a lot with my friends.It’s always about tennis，but that’s what I have got to do and that’s what I have signed up for.” “I just love the sport and I like winning and playing and going abroad.It’s not a holiday but it is kind of like a holiday.To know that I’m actually quite good at tennis is a good feeling，” Jodie added. While Jodie is happy to keep playing the sport she loves，her mother is worried about what Jodie’s career has already cost their family.She was even not sure about Jodie’s tennis talents until recently.However，she remains realistic about Jodie’s future.“There are hundreds of parents out there who think their child is going to win Wimbledon and they are completely not true.I don’t think it’s worth carrying on unless she is going to be in the top 50 or top 100 in the world.” 词汇积累　1.court n．球场　2.rank v．把……分等级，属于某等级　3.countless adj.无数的，数不尽的　4.alarmingly adv.令人惊慌地　5．hang around逗留；闲逛　6.sign up for报名(参加课程)　7.realistic adj.现实的 英 语 · D 选修7 Unit 21　Human Biology Unit 21 Human Biology 14岁的女孩乔迪·巴拉是一颗正在冉冉升起的网球明星，然而，要想实现自己参加温布尔登网球公开赛的梦想，她还需要克服许多困难、做出更大牺牲。 谢谢观看！ * * 英 语 · D 选修7 Unit 21　Human
