D. Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题):(12分)
HITTING the water with almost superman’s love and strength, Sun Yang has made history after his excellent performance at the London Olympic Games.
The 20-year-old Sun became the first Chinese man to win gold in swimming. He took home four medals in total, two golds, one silver and one bronze.
Sun said his success was down to hard work. For years he has made it a rule to swim 20km every day. “When I trained in Australia, it was winter. Although the weather was cold and I was tired, I started training at 4:30am,” he said. The post-1990 athlete is popular not only because of his victory in London, but also his sportsmanship.
Nicknamed “Sun Mengmeng” online, which in Chinese refers to his innocent appearance and charming personality, Sun has gained more than 10 million followers on Sina Weibo. His first message about his trip back to his hometown, Hangzhou, after the Olympics, received thousands of responses. “The high-speed train on my way home has been blocked for three hours due to Typhoon Haikui,” it said. “Is it possible for me to arrive home tonight?” Some Weibo users even visited his page to give funny replies, such as, “Why not swim home?”
Sun may dream of matching his idol, American Michael Phelps, who has won 22 Olympic medals. But as a third-year student in Zhejiang University, he says he has a long way to go.
“Sun works hard in class. His diligence shows the choices of a new generation of Chinese athletes, who are making more time for their education and not just focusing on sport,” said his professor, Zheng Fang.
