When I was six, my elder brother brought me to the local BMX(自行车越野)track to
ride in a kids’ race for the first time.The hill out of the starting gate looked so scary
and steep that I backed off.My parents took me back for another try the next week.I
fell almost immediately but still managed to win the second place.I’ve loved racing
ever since.
I turned pro at 15 ， which isn’t possible now: You have to be 17 to compete
professionally.Around the time I went pro, BMX became an Olympic sport and I
decided to pursue it after high school.I’m the youngest woman with a professional
title in the United States.
BMX isn’t judged on tricks or how you handle barriers, but it’s an extreme sport.It’s
like horse racing mixed with riding a roller coaster.It starts with a huge burst of speed
—I go 40 mph by the time I’m two and a half seconds out of the gate.Then I try to
come out in front of seven competitors at the end of the track, which includes 40－
foot jumps.I keep chasing the high that comes from prestart nervousness, big jumps,
and the feeling of crossing the finish line first.
Strength and balance are key in competition, so I work out at least five days a week to
prepare.I do tons of resistance and agility(灵活) training，both on and off the bike.I
also do mental drills with a sports psychologist to make sure I’m focused and
confident going into competition.If I make a mistake on the course，I have to move
on.Everyone is out to beat me；I need to concentrate on winning so my competitors
can’t capitalize__on an error and pass me!
I was so proud to win a silver medal at the Olympics in Rio, but I felt I was capable of
gold, so that will push me to do better.I’m continually working to reach my potentialin the sport.Until I feel completely satisfied, I’ll keep coming back.

Recently Meituan co－published a proposal with a number of business organizations,
including China General Chamber of Commerce and China Cuisine Association,
calling on restaurants to stop food waste and help cultivate new eating habits for
customers.“Restaurants should innovate means of publicity using official accounts
on social media and live － streaming to promote and advocate food － saving
actions，” the proposal said.
Meituan and the organizations are advocating that merchants offer guidance forconsumers, including reminding them during the ordering process about the taste of
the ingredients, portion sizes and other information about the dishes, to help them
avoid food waste due to misleading information.
Catering (饮食服务) associations in more than 18 provinces have also joined the
campaign to eliminate food waste.The China Cuisine Association announced that it
had teamed up with Eleme, the Alibaba Group Holding － owned food delivery
platform, to launch a “half－dish plan” , encouraging restaurants to provide
customers with the option to order smaller portions.The Wuhan Catering Association
proposed an “N－1” ordering code for restaurants in which a group of 10 diners
would only order enough for nine people.More food is only brought to the table if
required.
To curb portrayals of food waste on social media platforms, popular Chinese video
platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou have stepped up content reviews of food－
related live streams and implemented regulation of online eating shows.Now if users
search certain key words, such as “eating show” or “competitive eaters” ， a
cautionary message pops up to remind them to cherish food and maintain a reasonable
diet.
5．Why did Meituan start such a proposal?
