【题干】Most people agree that fencing( 击剑)is one sport in which. a person must be at least 30
years old before he learms all he needs to know about the sport. But Clark Summers of the Univer-sity of Detroit has shown that this doesn't always have to) be true.
Clark is a different kind of fencer in a lot of ways. He is an American, while most fencers are from the countries of Europe. He is black , while most fencers in the past have been white. And he is only 22 years old.
Many people think that Clark is the most promising fencer in this country today. Although he is young, he has been able to master the necessary skills. Already he has won a number of fencing contests against older fencers. He is almost certain to become a member of the U. S. Olympic fenc- ing team!
“There is no real danger in fencing today,”Clark says. “But I never forget that fencing was
not always a sport. In the old days , People fenced to settle a quarrel. Each match was a matter of life and death. If that camne true in the matches I play in today ,every touch against me would mean that I had been wounded or klled. So I try to play as if I were fencing for my life. I don't like the idea of being killed!"
