What he wanted was not just to 28 Hailsham, but to remember Hailsham, just like it had been his own childhood. He knew he was 29 to death and so that’s what he was doing: getting me to describe things to him, so they’d really sink in, so that maybe during those sleepless nights, with the drugs and the pain and the exhaustion, the line would blur(变得模糊) between what were my 30 and what were his.

So over the next five or six days, I told him whatever he wanted to know, and he’d lie there, all 54 , a gentle smile breaking through. He’d ask me about the big things and the little things. About our guardians (看护人), about the football, the rounders, the little path, the duck pond, the food, the view from the Art room over the fields on a foggy morning. Sometimes he’d make me say things 55 ; things I’d told him only the day before, he’d ask about like I’d 56 told him. “Did you have a pond ” “Which guardian was your special favorite ” At first I thought this was just the drugs, but then I realized his mind was 57 enough. What he wanted was not just to 58 Hailsham, but to remember Hailsham, just like it had been his own childhood. He knew he was 59 to death and so that’s what he was doing: getting me to describe things to him, so they’d really sink in, so that maybe during those sleepless nights, with the drugs and the pain and the exhaustion, the line would blur (变得模糊) between what were my 60 and what were his.

Urquhart spent 10 months training for the 17 , turning to some unusual training methods. A company allowed her to run in a 18 storage unit where she ran in temperatures below zero. Besides, she ran along the beaches with uneven(凹凸不平的) surfaces that are like the 19 grounds in Antarctica. All those proved useful 20 .
The difficulties that Urquhart faced in Antarctica were 21 : taking in about 5,000 calories each day, 22 in a bined with the sound of 23 winds and the continent’s 24 hours of sunlight in the summer months, these were 24 favorable to a good night’s sleep. Urquhart would usually wear four layers
of coats and keep 25 her own body temperature while running.
Urquhart launched the Run Antarctica aiming to encourage more women to 26 sport. Though still unsure about what her next running challenge will have, she has set a 27 of raising $1.5 million for charity.
“Confidence is a real issue for females,” says Urquhart. “And a sporting environment provides them with a great opportunity to 28 themselves.” This served as a huge 29 for her to take on a challenge that no other woman had attempted before. “It was actually showing that we can push our 30 , and explore what seems impossible,” says Urquhart.

When my arms grew long enough, how I wanted one! But I knew it was impossible. It was not a good year. At harvest the crops did not bring as much as we had hoped. Yet 153 times were hard, I couldn’t wait any longer to ask, “Daddy, may I have a violin of my own ”
Daddy looked 154 . That night, I heard him pray, “…Mary wants her own violin.” One evening we all sat around the table. Daddy wrote a letter to his friend, Mr Finkle, a violinist. When Daddy received a letter from Columbus several weeks later, he announced, “We’ll be driving to Columbus.”
The day finally 155 . After we got there, Mr Finkle, a tall man, opened the door. “Come in!” he and Daddy heartily shook hands at once.
He 156 a case, opened it and lifted out a violin. He said, “Carl, I found it in a shop for 157 dollars. It’s a good violin.” Then he handed the violin to me. I noticed the 158 in Daddy’s eyes. It was mine! I stroked (抚摸) the violin gently. The wood was a golden brown that seemed to warm in the light. “It’s beautiful.” I said, barely breathing.
The day I carried my violin to school for my first lesson no one could imagine the bursting feeling in my heart. Over the months I 159 every day. When I was ready to join the school orchestra(管弦乐队), I shook with 160 . I sat in the third row of violins and wore my white jacket. My heart beat 161 at my first public performance. I felt sure everyone in the audience was watching me. Daddy and Mother smiled 162 at their little girl.
I thought of Daddy, who did all he could to 163 my needs when I was a little girl. I wonder if I had ever thanked him.
At last I walked to the 164 and dialed the number. Later in the day, a man in his 30s knocked on the door. “My daughter wants a violin so badly,” he said. “ 165 are you asking ” Any music store, I knew, would offer me a nice sum. But now I heard my voice answer, “Seven dollars.”
