My First Marathon（马拉松）
A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles（脚踝）was hurt and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I decided 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 told me that I was “not good it sports”.
The idea that I was “not good at sports” stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle（斗争）against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was good at sports. 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（出汗）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 he them. Not the start I wanted!
At mile 3, I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT, RUNNERE!”
By mile 17, I became out of breath and the ankle hurt badly. But I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
As I came near mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She ever minded the clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned how much I spent on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got be same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had. Now I can call myself a marathon winner”.
1.A month before the marathon, the author .
A.was well trained B.felt afraid to train
C.made up his mind to run D.lost hope of recovery
2.Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?
A.To admit the support of his teacher. B.To make the readers laugh.
C.To show he wasn’t talented in sports. D.To share a wonderful memory.
3.How was the author’s first marathon?
A.He made it. B.He stopped running halfway.
C.He got the first prize. D.He walked to the end.
4.What does the story mainly tell us?
A.Success depends on family support. B.A winner is one with a strong will.
C.Failure is the mother of success. D.One is never too old to learn.

In the 13th century, Marco Polo, the world known Italian traveller, saw many wonderful things in China. One of the things he discovered was money made of paper. People in the West did not have such kind of money until the 15th century. However, (A) 中国人在七世纪就开始使用纸币了.
Paper was invented by a Chinese man called Cai Lun almost 2,000 years ago. But it was not made in Europe until the year 1100. Four hundred years later, a German discovered that he could make the best paper form trees. After that countries rich in forests, such as Canada. Sweden, America, Finland became the most important (B) ones in paper making.
Paper can be used in many ways. It’s usually used for printing books and newspapers. But do you know that paper can be used for keeping warm? In Finland, the farmers wear paper boots to keep their feet warm in the snow. And even houses can be insulated（使绝缘）from (C) or cold with paper.
However, we have to understand that paper still comes from trees now. (D) If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left some day in the near future. Every day people throw away about 2,800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting down nearly 48,000 trees every day. The fact is that it takes more than 10 years for a tree grow.
So we must start (E) paper right now. We can use both sides of every piece of paper. We can make useful things out of used paper. We can use china cups instead of paper ones. When shopping, we can use fewer paper bags and reuse them if we have some.
In short, we should keep a balance between using paper and protecting trees, and do it now before it is too late.
