语 篇 提 能阅读理解ABorn with part of his left arm missing, Matthew Cowdrey has shown great strength and courage to succeed and reach unbelievable heights in the world of swimming.Cowdrey started swimming at the age of five and was determined to not just be as good as any ablebodied person, but to be better.Cowdrey competed in the Paralympics (残奥会) in Athens for the first time and won three gold medals, two silver and two bronze.He added another five golds and three silver in Beijing, breaking five world records.After the 2012 London Games, he is the most successful Australian Paralympian, having won 13 Paralympic gold medals and 23 Paralympic medals in total.Cowdreys mum, Vivienne, said she was proud of her son, who had forever been an overachiever.“I dont know how he does a lot of what he does，” she said.“We were most disappointed when he chose swimming actually; we thought soccer or something like that would be more suitable.”“Then he chooses something which requires two arms.”“We always showed him how to do things and gave him ideas on how to do things. But we also let him try things for himself, because if he doesnt do that and everybody does things for him, hell never learn.”Cowdrey praised the upbringing (养育) his parents gave him, which taught him to be independent.Although he achieved great success, Cowdrey said he didnt think about his achievements too much.“Ive always said that I just wanted to be remembered as someone who worked hard at what he did to reach his potential，” he said.“A few of my goals are outside of Paralympic sport and are in ablebodied swimming.”“Im not at the point now where I can even appreciate what Ive done so far.”“Its important to be modest, to be happy and to continue to work as hard as you can.”语篇解读本文是记叙文，文章主要介绍了澳大利亚残疾人运动员Matthew Cowdrey。1What do we know about Cowdrey from the text?A.
