21．（6分）Not so long ago,most people didn't know who Shelly Ann Francis Pryce was going to become.She was just an average high school athlete.There was every indication that she was just another American teenager without much of a future.However,one person wants to change this.Stephen Francis obrved then eighteen-year-old Shelly Ann as a track meet and was convinced that he had en the beginning of true greatness.Her time were not exactly impressive, but even so,he emed there was something trying to get out,something the other coaches had overlooked when they had assd her and found her lacking.He decided to offer Shelly Ann a place in his very strict training asons. Their cooperation quickly produced results,and a few year later at Jamaica's Olympic games in early 2008,Shelly Ann,who at that time only ranked number 70 in the world,beat Jamaica's unchallenged queen of the sprint（短跑）.
"Where did she come from?"asked an astonished sprinting world,before concluding that she must be one of tho one-hit wonders that spring up from time to time,only to disappear again without signs.But Shelly Ann was to prove that she
was anything but a one-hit wonder.At the Beijing Olympic she swept away any doubts about her ability to perform consistently by becoming the first Jamaican woman ever to win the 100 meters Olympic gold.She did it again one year on at the World Championship in Briton,becoming world champion with a time of' 10.73—the fourth record ever.
Shelly-Ann is a little woman with a big smile.She has a mental toughness that did not come about by chance. Her journey to becoming the fastest woman on earth has been anything but smooth and effortless,She grew up in one of Jamaica's toughest inner-city communities known as Waterhou,where she lived in a one-room apartment, sleeping four in a bed with her mother and two brothers.Waterhou,one of the poorest communities in Jamaica,is a really violent and overpopulated place.Several of Shelly-Ann's friends and family were caught up in the killings;one of her cousins was shot dead only a few streets away from where she lived.Sometimes her family didn't have enough to eat.She ran at the school championships barefooted becau she couldn't afford shoes.Her mother
Maxime,one of a family of fourteen,had been an athlete herlf as a young girl but,like so many other girls in Waterhou,had to stop after she had her first baby.Maxime's early entry into the adult world with its responsibilities gave her the determination to ensure that her kids would not end up in Waterhou's roundabout of poverty.One of the first things Maxime ud to do with Shelly-Ann was taking her to the track,and she was ready to sacrifice everything.
