Question 15
The following story leads into the next four questions, it will be
repeated at the start of each of the questions it relates to. Read it
carefully and answer questions 15 through to 18, in relation to this
story.
The Campbelltown triathlon was three weeks away, and Jason decided that he
was going to take part this year. He sent in the registration form and made a
promise to himself that he would do his best to win the race. He knew it was
not going to be easy, understanding he would have to train every day right
up until the race day.
A triathlon is a sport with three events: running, swimming and cycling. Jason
had a regime to train in all three events throughout the week; two days of
cycling, two days of swimming and three days of running. By the end of the
three weeks, he felt as though he was ready to take on his competitors. When
he arrived on race day, he noticed there were many people taking part in the
competition. He began to worry that he would not do so well. However, he
convinced himself that he was just as good, if not better than, the other
competitors, so he prepared himself at the starting line.
"On your marks, get set, go!" he heard from the loud speakers, and before he
knew it, the race had begun. The first leg of this race was the running
component. Jason was a strong runner, so he went well in this leg, finishing
third and not far from the lead. The next leg was the swimming component
and made Jason nervous, as this was his weakest leg of the three. As much
as he tried to keep up, Jason just couldn't keep up with the pack, falling back
to sixth place. Although he was disappointed, he was hoping he could make
up for lost time in the final leg of the race, the cycling. This was Jason's last
chance to get to the front of the pack, so he rode as fast as he could. He
got up to second place with five hundred metres remaining. Although he tried
to pass the leader, he wasn't fast enough so he finished in second place.
Although Jason wanted to win, he wasn't disappointed with the silver medal.
It was his first time in the competition and he figured he could try again next
year, hopefully coming first.
What is the main theme of this story?
45
Options
A Coming second is being the first loser.
B Winning is everything.
C Winning isn't everything.
D Coming second is worse than coming last.
E If you train it is expected that you will win.
