Four Best Marathons in the United States

After New York, Chicago, and Boston, this is the fourth largest marathon in the United States.

Bank of America Chicago Marathon
One of the six World Marathon Majors, the Bank of America Chicago Marathon is typically held on the second Sunday in October.

This popular race attracts more than a million audience each year.

Fang Jianze, a student of today’s Zhuhai College of Science and Technology, was diagnosed (诊断) with a rare disease at the. age of three, leaving his legs almost useless.
Up until he met his university professor, Fang Jianze always believed he would never be able to do anything on his own. In January 2020, when he put on his first diving suit and began his training, he found himself in a pool of emotions.
In order to build up his physical strength, Fang began riding his bike 5 km every day, covering more than 600 km in half a year. To overcome his fear at water, he fully immersed (沉浸) himself in it in both a mental and physical way. Due to the weakness in his upper arms, he had to rely on his body and legs to keep him afloat.
On August 19th2020, Fang Jianze got the world’s 2075th Disabled Divers Certification, and became China’s first certified diver with muscle disease.
Since becoming an accomplished diver, Fang sees the world from an entirely new point of view. Now, he has the confidence and ability to help others overcome their own doubts and fears. In 2020 alone, he helped to upgrade more than 20 facilities (设施) for people with disabilities in various ways in Guangzhou.
Nowadays, most parts of the world have accepted the idea of making things accessible for everyone. Everyone can benefit from a barrier-free environment. By accommodating each other’s differences, perhaps we can find a way in which to live together happily, so that no barrier, physical or mental, can impede someone from going after their dreams.
4. What happened to Fang Jianze when he was three years old
A. He lost his legs in an accident.
B. He began training to become a diver.

Timeless and meaningful friendships are central to the human experience, and we have been honoring these special relationships for thousands of years. One of the ways people have marked these bonds is by exchanging gifts. Here are the stories of the symbols and traditions that have honored friendships throughout history and around the world.
In the 16th century, Dutch theologian Erasmus offered his friends paintings, books, and ancient coins, which became a kind of currency of friendship among early modern humanists.
By the 18th and 19th centuries in Ireland, the Claddagh ring had gained attention as a symbol of both love and friendship: the heart on the ring represents (代表) love, while the clasped hands represent friendship.
By the 18th century, friends were exchanging locks of hair, which degrades very slowly. Like friendship, so the belief went, hair seemed to be everlasting. George Washington even gifted his hair to some of his close friends, including fellow founding father Alexander Hamilton.
Throughout the 19th century, friends exchanged friendship brooches (胸针). They sometimes featured ivy flowers, which Victorians associated with loyalty, and the phrase, “Nothing can separate me from you.” As one advertisement for friendship brooches said in 1913, the brooch’s circular shape was, “like friendship, endless”.
By the end of the 20th century, a new friendship symbol and gift-giving practice took hold: friendship bracelets, which tend to be brightly colored and woven. No one knows exactly where friendship bracelets came from or how the tradition started, but they may have their roots in woven bracelets from Central America.
All these show an idea that’s been around forever: It’s great to find someone who understands you in this big world, and it’s something worth celebrating.
8. What did Erasmus offer his friends in the 16th century
A. Ivy flowers and woven bracelets.

B. It was a practice limited to the 18th century.
C. It was a common practice only among the wealthy.

11. What’s the best title for the text
