英語閱讀強化訓練：Volleyball player Zhao Ruirui

　　Zhao Ruirui, 1.97 meters tall, was the tallest player in the Women's Volleyball World Cup in 2003. Thanks to her baby face, she was also the most beautiful player.

　　But, more importantly, she was also the Cup's best player! She attacked quickly, scored lots of points, and was a great striker(扣球手).

　　“She is young, but she's already an excellent attacker,” says Chen Zhonghe, the team's head coach.

　　Being tall sometimes makes Zhao's life difficult. The 25-year-old girl finds it hard to buy trousers long enough. And sometimes people think she's a boy.

　　Still, she would never want to be short. “It's a pity I can't grow any taller,” she says.“I hope to be even taller, so I would be a better player.”

　　Zhao works very hard to be good at volleyball. But when she's not training, she likes to listen to pop songs and she likes drawing.

　　She was very pleased to win the Cup. “I want to be the best volleyball player in the world,” she said. “I still have a long way to go.”
