The yearly Marathon (马拉松) in my town usually happened during a heat wave. My job was to follow the runners in an ambulance (救护车), for 31 of them might need medical attention.
“We're supposed to stay 32 the last runner, so take it slowly,” I said to the driver, Doug,
as the race started. The front-runners started to 33 and then my eyes were drawn to the woman in blue silk running shorts and a loose white T-shirt .
We knew we were already watching our "last runner". There was something wrong with her 34 , so it seemed almost impossible for her to be able to walk. A marathon was really a challenge.
Doug and I watched in silence as she slowly moved forward. 35 , she was the only runner left in sight. Tears ran down my face 36 I watched her push forward with great efforts through the last miles.
When the finish line came into sight, rubbish lay everywhere and the 37 crowds had long gone home. Yet, straight and ever so proud stood a lone man. He was holding one end of a ribbon (缎带) tied to a post. She slowly crossed through, 38 both ends of the ribbon fluttering (飘扬)behind her.
I do not know this woman's name, but that day she became part of my life — a part that I often 39 . When think things are too difficult or I get "I-just-can't-do-it," I think of the last runner.

India has a population of about 1.28 billion. Its population is the second largest in the world. China has the largest population of over 1.36 billion. One out of six people on this planet live in India. Although the crown (王冠) of the world's most populous country is on China's head for ten years, India will take the position by 2030.

Some of the reasons for India's quickly growing population are poverty, illiteracy (文盲), decrease in death rates and immigration (移民) from Bangladesh and Nepal. India started taking measures to stop the growth rate quite early. India had the "National Family Planning Program" in 1952. It became the first country in the world to have a population policy.

Are you surprised to see one or two twins in your class? What about 28 sets of them?
Andover High School in Minnesota, USA, has applied for (申请) the Guinness Book of World Records (吉尼斯世界纪录大全), because it has 28 sets of twins among its students.
“Having 28 sets of twins at any school is really uncommon,” said Dr. Nancy Segal, a twins researcher (研究者) at the University of Minnesota. “There is no good explanation (解释)…. Maybe their parents eat well.”
Peyton Zapzalka, one of the twin sisters, said the twin students had their own way of life. “We think nothing of finishing each other’s words,” she said.
Brent and Nathan Strong are another pair of twins. The brothers have already won something. They were given two tickets by a school to a twins game this year. Brent and Nathan will go to university on baseball scholarship (奖金)。
“Brent and Nathan’s Mom is our little sister’s fifth-grade teacher,” said Peyton Zapzalka. “We’re all connected (联系), one way or another.”
One example: the Zapzalkas were born on July 22, 1994—the same day their twin classmates Matt and Mike Schultz were born—in the same hospital.
