1、Section Introduction & Reading and Vocabulary课前自学导引体育人生人们称他为体操王子。26岁退役时,他已经在世界范围内的大型比赛中获得了106枚金牌。它们(金牌)包括1982年世界锦标赛总共七枚金牌中的六枚,1984年洛杉矶奥运会上的三枚金牌(以及两枚银牌和一枚铜牌)。李宁是最优秀的。1999年,当体育记者们评选20世纪最杰出的男女运动员时,李宁名列其中,一起入选的还有球王贝利和拳王穆罕默德阿里。但即使是已经赢得了在自己运动项目上所能赢得的一切,李宁还是带着一种失败的感觉退了役。他在1988年汉城奥运会上表现不佳,这使他感到失望。但就是这种失败感使他
2、决心在新的生活中取得成功。退役一年后,李宁开始了他的新事业经商。但是,他并没有忘记他的体育背景。他决定推出一种新品牌的运动服,和全球大公司像耐克、阿迪达斯竞争。对一个中国人而言,他作出了异乎寻常的选择,那就是用自己的名字做商标。那个醒目的红色标志是由“李宁”的名字拼音的两个首字母L和N组成的。李宁运动服进入市场正当其时。有钱消费的年轻人的数量在增加,而体育运动也变得前所未有的普及。李宁的产品不仅设计吸引人,而且比起那些著名的商业对手,它拥有一个较大的优势,那就是价格便宜。比如,一双耐克运动鞋的价格可能是一双李宁牌的同类产品价格的5倍之多。李宁的成功是注定了的,并且来势迅速。短短几年内,李宁便赢
3、得了国内一半以上的市场。现在每十秒就有一款李宁牌产品售出。但是,李宁牌运动服不仅仅出现在田径赛场和足球场上。如果你走进任何一个地方的中学或大学校园,你很有可能看到身穿印有那个熟悉标志的李宁运动服的学生。公司也已向国际化发展。西班牙和法国的体操队员也穿李宁牌运动服装,同时,公司还雇用意大利设计师设计新的款式。2008年奥运会期间,中国运动员无论何时入场,他们都将身穿李宁牌运动服。但是,李宁退役时的目标并不是为了赚钱。他的梦想是开办一所体操学校。1991年,他如愿以偿。从那时起,他不断地帮助年轻人实现他们的体育梦想。在他之前,球王贝利和穆罕默德阿里已经在联合国为儿童权利和世界和平工作。和他们一样,
