If you happened to be at the recent National Senior Games in Albuquerque last June, it’s likely that you would have found an extremely enthusiastic group of 19 people, all wearing bright yellow T-shirts that read “Blossom at 85” on one side and "Gammy’s Groupies" on the other. “That’s my team,” says Andrea Harrison, speaking about the family and friends there to cheer her on. Harrison is certainly blossoming at 85—so much so that she walked away with gold in the 800 meters with a time of 6'24" and silver in the 5K, finishing in 43'1''.
“People often tell me that they’re inspired by my running and they are encouraged to do more to stay active because of it. ” Harrison says. “I feel like this is my job and my purpose now, to get people moving, no matter what their ages are.”
She even has a presentation she gives at community centers and schools, centering on how beneficial running and exercise can be on emotional heath as well as physical health. Calling it “Motion Over Disturbance;” she says it emphasizes how the motion of movement takes away the disturbance in your head, clearing away all those little worries and bothers of everyday life.
Harrison also likes to tell her audiences that she’s a late bloomer when it comes to running. She started when she was 50 years old, and only because of her sons, then a junior in high school, wanted to be on a track team. So the two of them ran around the parking lot of the school.
Now running 11 miles a week, she calms the “excitement” in her mind by spending her time praying for family members as she runs, particularly for her twin sister who has dementia （痴呆）. But of course she also includes her 6 children, 14 grandchildren, and 4 great-grandchildren.
There are often strangers approaching her after races to congratulate her on a win-she jokes that there “aren’t too many old ladies” for competition. “They say, ‘If you can run like this, I should be running,’ ” she says. “And I say ‘Well, go ahead. What are you waiting for?’”
1.What is Harrison’s job in her own opinion?
A.Being a member of a track team.
B.Winning gold and silver medals.
C.Encouraging people to run regardless of ages.
D.Giving lectures on the benefits of exercise.
2.Which of the following can replace the underlined part “bloomer” in Paragraph 4?
A.Competitor. B.Runner.
C.Instructor. D.Achiever.
3.What is Harrison always doing while running?
A.Listening to some music. B.Missing her family members.
C.Praying to calm down. D.Waiting for the strangers. ,
4.What can be inferred from the whole text?
A.It’s never too late to learn. B.All that glitters is not gold.
C.To strike while iron is hot. D.Well begun is half done.

If you are asked to name some national emblems of China, the dragon will probably be one of the famous images that pop into your head. We Chinese often consider ourselves "the descendants（后代）of the dragon." It is not unfamiliar to you that your parents hope that you "may become the dragon".
As a mythical（神秘的）creature, the dragon is deeply rooted in Chinese culture. Traditionally, dragons are considered to govern rainfall. They have the power to decide where and when the rain falls. In addition, the dragon is a symbol of imperial （帝王的）power. The emperors thought they were real dragons and the sons of the heaven.
But the creature is regarded differently in Western countries. In the Bible, dragons represent the devil（恶人）. Western people usually see dragons as cold-blooded reptiles（爬虫）, like snakes and cruel killers. In their eyes, dragons are also dishonest.
Dragons in Western literature are presented as monsters（怪物）. It is a common tale for a mediaeval knight（中世纪的骑士） to kill a dragon and save a princess and her country from its evil. Even the popular boy wizard Harry Potter has to battle against a dragon.
However, dragons are not all bad in the West. "Puff the Magic Dragon" is a well-known song. The lyrics(歌词) tell a bitter-sweet story of the dragon Puff and his playmate Jackie Paper, a little boy. When Jackie grows up, he loses interest in the imaginary adventures of childhood and leaves Puff upset. Puff represents the innocence of a child's imagination, which is very positive for a dragon.
1.The underlined word” emblems” in the first paragraph means “_______”.
| A．symbols | B．names | C．places | D．parks |
2.What is a dragon presented as according to Western literature?
A wizard B. A mediaeval knight C. A princess D. A monster
3.The writer gave the example of “ Puff the Magic Dragon” to show_____.
| A．dragons can represent the innocence of child’s imagination |
| B．children don’t like to play with dragons |
| C．dragons are not all bad in the West |
| D．not all people in the West like dragons |
