My First Marathon
A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn't do either well. He later informed me that I was “not athletic”.
The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind.A test of wills!
The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn't even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.
Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces (鞋带) became untied.So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!
At mile 3, I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”
By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
By mile 21, I was starving!
As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish.But I finished!And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.
Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels (世俗标签), I can now call myself a “marathon winner”.

My name is Charlotte Dujardin. I'm an Olympic dressage champion (花式骑术冠军). What is my life like You may wonder.
I'm one of those people who need their sleep. If I don't get enough I can be pretty sleepy. I start riding by 7:30 am and I'm usually so tired from a day's training that my head is on the pillow by 9:30 pm. I'm like an old person. I've always been a deep sleeper, not even the thought of an Olympic final keeps me awake.
I work with a personal trainer who makes sure I follow a strict diet. The things I eat must provide enough energy for my daily training. For breakfast I have eggs and bread, a chicken wrap and salad for lunch, a healthy meal of meat and lots of vegetables for dinner, plus two snacks of nust and fruit. On days off, like normal girls, I love ice cream.
I often work seven days a week, riding from 7:30 am till 5 pm, then training at the gym. I also teach at the weekend, but the days don't feel long because I love my job very much. I have a proper holiday once a year when I don't see a horse for 10 days; I can't afford to fatigue myself. I need time to rest and relax.

Baseball was always where my heart lay. However, my father did not care for baseball. Two recreational activities he enjoyed were golfing and fishing, neither of which I considered a real sport. He didn't talk much and he wasn't good at expressing himself. Frankly, I wasn't entirely certain he cared about me. In a way, my father was like a familiar stranger I saw every day.
One day, watching the play on television made me want a glove of my own. To my surprise, my father said he wanted one, too. He was on the portly side, but then again, one of the famous pitchers (投手) on the Mets was even fatter. So I thought, why not
We bought two gloves, and that evening, he suggested we go out to the courtyard and toss (掷) the ball around. I'd already practiced catching and throwing at school, but I could tell this was the first time for my father, because every time he caught the ball, it landed directly in his palm. If you've ever caught a ball with a baseball glove, you know how much this hurts.
But my father caught ball after ball this way. Slap! Slap! He winced (龇牙咧嘴). After about five minutes, I told him I'd had enough. It wasn't out of mercy, but for my own self interest. Neighborhood kids were watching and would no doubt tease me later for having an old man who didn't know how to properly catch a baseball. When my father took the glove off, his palm was red and swollen.
Dad, who passed away 11 years ago, never told me he loved me. But that sound of the baseball landing in the soft flesh of his hand over and over again — it spoke its own tender language, though at the time, all I felt was shame.
12.What does the underlined word “portly” mean in Paragraph 2
A.Experienced. B.Cool.
C.Famous. D.Fat.
13.What can we learn from the passage
A.The father didn't hurt when catching the ball.
B.The father didn't understand his child at all.
C.The author didn't realise his father's love at first.
D.The author criticised his father when playing.
14.What could be the best title for the passage
A.A Crying Shame for Baseball
B.The Sound of Love
C.A Loving Father and His Son
D.Love That Comes Late
15.Why did the father want a glove
A.He was interested in baseball.
B.He was impressed by the play on television.
C.He wanted to show his improvement in baseball.
D.He wanted to make the author happy.

It was coming up on Mother's Day, and he usually tried to make it “back home”, but this year he was just too busy and too tired. The day when he was driving in a small town, he saw a flower_shop. He said to himself, “I know what I will do. I'll send my mother some roses.”
He stopped and went into the flower shop and saw a young_man talking to the girl in it. “How many roses can I get for five dollars, Ms.?” the young man asked. The girl was trying to explain that roses were expensive. Maybe the young man would be happy with something else.
“No. I have to have roses,” he said. “My mom was badly sick last year and I didn't get to spend much time with her. I want to get something_special. It has to be red roses, because that is her favorite.” He was stubborn.
The girl in the shop looked up at Eric and was just shaking her head. Something inside of Eric was touched by the young man's voice. He wanted to get those roses so badly. Eric had been blessed (幸运的) in his business, and he looked at the girl and silently said that he would pay for the young man's roses.

It was worth more than fifty dollars just to see that kind of excitement.

Of all the sports, I like playing football best. My father is a footballer and has taken part in all kinds of competitions. It was under his influence that I began to show interest in it. Besides, I was also deeply influenced by the 1998 World Cup in France, whose theme song I still remember.
Last year, I was admitted into a football team, in which I play as a forward as well as being captain. I play football with my friends every day after finishing my homework. It deserves our devotion and love.
My favorite player is Messi from Argentina. My greatest wish is to be a football super star like him in the future, and I hope I can stand for my country to play football in the World Cup when I grow up.
