Little Tommy was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything—tutors (家庭教师), cards, special learning centers—in short, everything they could think of. Finally they took Tommy to a catholic (天主教的) school.
After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn’t kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread (铺开) out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work. His mother was surprised. She called him down to dinner and as soon as he finished eating, he went back to his room, without a word. In no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day while the mother tried to understand what was happening.
Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. His mom looked at it and to her surprise, little Tommy got an A in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity (好奇心). She went to his room and asked, “Son, what was it? Was it the nuns (修女)?”
Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head, “No. ”
“Well then,” she asked again. “WHAT was it?”
Little Tommy looked at her and said, “Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed (钉) to the plus sign (加号), I knew they weren’t joking.

You flip through the channels for the fourth time and realize that once again there's nothing on television that interests you. Not a problem! Going out for a run is the coolest thing instead.
Put on a pair of running shoes and comfortable clothes and find a safe environment. But that doesn't mean that running is easy. No one wakes up and decides to run a marathon without training.
Running is good for your body and mind. Running makes you strong, so you don't get sick easily. It can even help you concentrate (v.聚精会神) better in class because exercise helps you think more clearly.
Runners greatly respect (v.尊重) each other because they know how difficult the sport can be. If you go to a race, you'll see people cheering for all the runners, from the first place finisher to the last place finisher. Running isn't always about how fast you are or how far you are going. It's about getting out there and doing it.
If you're looking for more than just a sport, running may be the best choice for you.

语篇解读：马拉松(Marathmi),国际上非常普及的长跑比赛项目，分全程马拉松（Full Marathon ), 半程马拉松 (Half Marathon )和四分马拉松 (Quarter Marathon ) 三种，以全程马拉松比赛最为普及，一般提及马拉松，即指全程马拉松。本文是一篇介绍跑步的议论文，作者从两个方面介绍了跑步的好处。跑步能强 身健体，还能使你的大脑反应更灵敏。
难句解析：You flip through the channels for the fourth time and realize that once again there's nothing on television that interests you. 你第四次浏览频道，并再一次意识到电视上没有什么让你感兴趣的东西。 分析本句是一个主从复合句，realize之后的句子是宾语从句，其中的that interests you是定语从句，修饰nothing。
答案解析
1. B细节理解题。题干定位：题干关键词为can't find, 可定位于第一段。由 “Going out for a run is the coolest thing instead.” 可知，当你找不到好看的电视台时，可以尝试跑步。
2. A 细节理解题。由第二段的 “Put on a pair of running shoes and comfortable clothes and find a safe environment.” 可知，开始跑步之前，应当准备一双好的鞋子和舒适的衣服。
3. D细节理解题。题干定位：题干关键词为helps, 可定位于第三段。由” Running is good for your body and mind.”可知，跑步对身体和大脑都有好处。
4. C 推理判断题。由第四段的 “Running isn't always about how fast you are or how far you are going. It’s about getting out there and doing it.” 可以推测出，对于跑步来说，重要的不是取得第一名，而是参与。误解分析：本题易误选A。第四段的开头提到了“Runners greatly respect...”，如果不联系本段的最后来思考，则很容易误选答案。
5. B 推理判断题。由第五段的 “If you’re looking for more than just a sport, running may be the best choice for you.” 可知，如果你想要的不仅仅是一项运动，那么跑步或许是最好的选择，由此可以推测出，作者的写作目的是想让我们开始跑步。干扰项排除：从整篇文章来看，文中没有表达跑步的缺点，故A项不正确；第三段提到跑步会使你课上聚精会神，而不是说聚精会神就能跑得快，故C项不正确；由第二段的“But that doesn’t mean that running is easy.”可以判断出，跑步不简单
