题文
阅读理解 Despite losing the final at the Australian open, 28-year-old Chinese tennis player Li Na is popular inthe foreign media. This is related not only to her identity as the first Asian to play in a Grand Slam singles
finals, but also her courtside humor and merry personality. Li represents the image of the Chinese people.
Every successful athlete, on certain occasions, becomes a symbol of his or her nation. Previously,
Chinese sports players had a strong sense of "representing China", and often appeared conservative(保
守的) and overcautious. Foreign journalists used to find it hard to distinguish among Chinese athletes due
to their lack of individuality in their eyes. Li is breaking that traditional image.
Li's impressive performance on the court was driven by her own personality and it represents a social
change in China during the past two decades. Mainly, the constraints (约束) on self-expression have
been shaken off. This straightforward girl represents a different China that allows her to "just be herself".
Some foreign media outlets regard Li as a "Chinese tennis rebel(叛逆)". She wears a rose tattoo on
her chest and employs her husband as personal coach; she first thanked her sponsor at the award
ceremony, and even asked the chair referee during the tense second set: "Can you tell the Chinese not to
teach me how to play tennis?"
In fact, such "rebelliousness" didn't upset the Chinese, because they've been fed up with clich?s(陈词
滥调)like "thank my leaders" or "thank my comrades". Furthermore, being reminded to behave with
great care is probably the last thing they want while watching a game.
Chinese society and its people need to relax. They need a little humor and open-mindedness to cope
with small mistakes, and imperfection should be allowed from time to time. Being excessively "correct"
can lead to untruthfulness and pressure. China is not as "correct" as it was in the past. However, isn't this
China more lovely and real?
