21、女运动员时，李宁和球王贝利、拳王穆罕默德阿里一起名列其中。但即使是已经赢得了在自己的体育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。他感到很失望，因为他在 1988 年汉城奥运会上表现不佳。但就是这种失败感使他决心在新的生活中取得成功。退役一年后，李宁开始了他新的事业经商。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，和全球大公司耐克、阿迪达斯等竞争。对一个中国人而言，他做出了异乎寻常的选择，那就是用自己的名字做商标。那个明亮的红色标志是由“李宁”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，而且体育运动也得到前
22、所未有的普及。李宁运动服不仅设计吸引人，而且比起那些更著名的商业对手，他们拥有一个主要优势，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同类产品价格的五倍之多。李宁的成功有了保证，并且来势迅速。短短几年中，李宁赢得了国内超过百分之五十的市场份额。现在每 10 秒钟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，你都有可能会看到身穿印有那个熟悉标志的李宁运动服的学生们。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出
23、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，贝利和穆罕默德阿里已经在和联合国一道为儿童权利及世界和平工作而努力，与他们一样，李宁发现：当一个杰出的运动员退出体坛时，他的工作并没有结束而是开始。正如李宁广告标语所言，如果你是一位杰出的运动员，“一切皆有可能”。通语篇 学理解 重分析2语篇理解.Read the text and match the main idea of the paragraphs.1Para.1 ALi Nings new careera bu
