第三部分阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
A
Ten years ago, Sang Lan, a 17-year-old Chinese gymnast, was competing at the Goodwill Games in New York. During a routine warm-up vault (跳马), Sang landed on her head and suffered an injury that left her paralyzed from the chest down. Ten years later, she is a college graduate, and has many admirers.
According to New York Times, what happened was that, as Sang was making her sprint (短跑) down the runway, a coach moved the springboard (跳板) in a misguided (搞错的) attempt to help her. She was running at full speed, and had no time to stop. Unfortunately, there was no cushion to receive her fall. "I heard a terrible sound," Octavian Belu, the Romanian coach, said at the time.
"I don’t feel bad about it now," Sang said in an interview over the weekend, explaining that she still follows gymnastics. She provided her professional opinion on television and on the Internet during the Beijing Olympics. "I’ve had to learn to face reality. Sometimes, when I watch old videos of me flying in gymnastics, I’m proud that I used to be so good."
She’s getting on with her life. At Peking University, from which Sang graduated last year with a broadcasting (播音) degree, friends had to carry her up stairs from class to class. She has her own caretaker (看护) and a personal assistant, or manager, provided to her by China’s General Sports Administration. "I can’t say I never feel regret, but I never complain," Sang said. "There’s no use in being regretful. You can’t live your life over again. I still love sports."
