Olympic athletes pur everything int training fr the Games,usually pushing their physical and mental bunds t the limit—and beynd—fr a sht at a gld medal.Yet they are ften accmpanied by an emtinal breakdwn.
Emtins(feelings) are heightened by the nature f the event itself. The Olympics is a massive cultural event—a cmbinatin f glbal public attentin, financial investment and media cverage.

They seem unable t realize that their actins might have negative results in the future.”
Effrts t minimize this mindset have helped sme athletes t pen up mre abut their mental health. Experts advise Olympians t start cnversatins abut mental health supprt well befre the Games begin. Olympians shuld als discuss mental health mnitring strategies befre, during and after the Games. Athletes and experts say the sprting industry has, in the last ten years, been prmting better wrk-life balance utside f the game. Briana, a sccer galkeeper, says that her team and caches actively encurage spending quality time with families and friends, as well as finding hbbies that feel jyful and rewarding.
32. What is the main cause fr Olympic athletes’ mental breakdwn?
A. A sense f lss. B. The pressure f cmpetitin.
C. The media cverage. D. The audience’s attentin.

34. What might be a gd slutin t the athletes’ identity crisis?
A. Having higher athletic identity.
B. Develping a sense f identity utside the sprt.
C. Discussing their prblems publicly.
D. Making greater achievements in sprting industry.
35. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?

It was a sunny Friday afternn. My assignment was t recrd the 400-meter race in the sprts meet. All the students in ur class were sitting anxiusly except ne, a tall handsme by named Tmmy wh was cnsidered the ne mst likely t win the race. Even, unlike ther cmpetitrs, he was quite relaxed, standing beside the track and stretching himself.
“Tmmy! I bet yu’ll win.” I yelled at him. “Just wait and see!” A big smile spread acrss his face.
“May I have yur attentin, please? All the athletes are requested t prceed t the registratin ffice.” A gentle vice caught ur attentin.
“Tmmy, yur shw time!” I shuted and gave him a thumb-up.
Then, I saw all the athletes went t register, preparing fr the game. Sn they were all n the starting line. Taking the best recrding lcatin, I raised my smartphne, ready t sht.
With the lud sund f the starting gun, all the cmpetitrs threw themselves frwards frm the starting line like arrws. Tmmy quickly tk the lead with his excellent explsive pwer frm lng-term training. But there was ne prblem fr me—I had t spare every effrt t cntrl my excitement in rder t keep my shting picture stable.
“Cme n, Tmmy!” Still, I culd hear the cheers f ur classmates higher and higher. It seemed that Tmmy had heard the pwerful shuts and became full f strength. He kept adjusting his breath, maintaining a steady rhythm, and appraching the finish line step by step.
Finally, with the cheers f the audience, Tmmy crssed the finish line almst at the same time with the secnd-place finisher. Hw I wish I culd rush t him and give him a big bear hug! But I culd nt. I had t finish recrding the whle race, s I waited until the last cmpetitr crssed the finish line. Suddenly, I nticed there was an unusual nise frm the crwd.
