热爱生活－我运动我快乐 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A [2021·南京市、盐城市高三二模]When I was six, my elder brother brought me to the local BMX(自行车越野) track to ride in a kids race for the first time. The hill out of the starting gate looked so scary and steep that I backed off. My parents took me back for another try the next week. I fell almost immediately but still managed to win second place. Ive loved racing ever since. I turned pro at 15, which isnt possible now: You have to be 17 to compete professionally. Around the time I went pro, BMX became an Olympic sport and I decided to pursue it after high school. Im the youngest woman with a professional title in the United States. BMX isnt judged on tricks or how you handle barriers, but its an extreme sport. Its like horse racing mixed with riding a roller coaster. It starts with a huge burst of speed — I go 40 mph by the time Im two and a half seconds out of the gate. Then I try to come out in front of seven competitors at the end of the track, which includes 40－foot jumps. I keep chasing the high that comes from prestart nervousness, big jumps, and the feeling of crossing the finish line first. Strength and balance are key in competition, so I work out at least five days a week to prepare. I do tons of resistance and agility (灵活) training, both on and off the bike. I also do mental drills with a sports psychologist to make sure Im focused and confident going into competition. If I make a mistake on the course, I have to move on. Everyone is out to beat me; I need to concentrate on winning so my competitors cant capitalize__on an error and pass me! I was so proud to win a silver medal at the Olympics in Rio, but I felt I was capable of gold, so that will push me to do better. Im continually working to reach my potential in the sport. Until I feel completely satisfied, Ill keep coming back. 1．What do we know about the author? A．She withdrew from her first BMX race. B．She became the youngest BMX rider in America.
