As Simon Kindleysides, 34, took his first step in the London Marathon in April, he felt as if magic was in the air.

"As we were walking toward the first mile, we actually started joining all the runners," he said. "Everyone was on the streets, cheering, and that was a magical moment." As time went on, the crowds and other racers spread around. Kindleysides and his team of eight supporters continued walking.

Kindleysides, who is paralyzed(瘫痪的)from the waist down and typically uses a wheelchair, was equipped with an exoskeleton(体外骨骼)to help him walk. His supporters walked with him to change the batteries in his exoskeleton so he could keep moving.

In 2013, Kindleysides was diagnosed with a brain tumor (肿瘤) that was growing in a way that pressed on certain nerves, leading to him losing feeling in his legs. He was told he would never walk again. Before his paralysis, the London-based singer and dancer had "always wanted to run a marathon," he said, but he never made the plan to do so--until this year.

During the London Marathon, the last two miles were the hardest. "At that point, I was exhausted. It was freezing cold, and I was hurting emotionally," Kindleysides said. But he kept going. "I didn't want to let people down. I had a team of eight, and I was raising money for The Brain Tumour Charity," he said. "I didn't want to let them down, myself down, and I thought if I would get this far, I would have to continue."So he continued and made history as the first paralyzed man to complete the London Marathon on foot.

Then, recovering at home, he shared his accomplishment with his three children. "They used to say I'm the only dad in their whole school who's in a wheelchair, and now they say I'm their dad, the only one who has walked a marathon," he said.

Kindleysides is training to complete three more marathons next year, including the London Marathon again.

1.Why did Kindleysides' supporters accompany him all the way?

A. To inspire him as a team.

B. To help change the batteries.

C. To guide him along the road.

D. To assist him with the wheelchair.

2.What caused Kindleysides' disability?

A. An accident in the previous marathon.

B. An operation on his brain for the tumor.

C. Some nerves produced out of the tumor.

D. The pressure from the brain tumor on the nerves.

3.What partly supported Kindleysides to finish the hardest two-mile race?

A. The belief to beat others.

B. The strong desire to recover.

C. The kindness to help the charity.

D. The prize money for the winner.

4.What can we learn about Kindleysides?

A. He was once a successful actor.

B. His children feel a pity for him in the wheelchair now.

C. He is ambitious for joining in London marathons once more.

D. He was the first disabled-man to complete the London Marathon.

When I was 5, my father worked the night shift as a nurse in a hospital. He was always carrying his stethoscope (听诊器) so naturally, so I called him “Dr. Saldivar” while I pressed his stethoscope against his chest. But my father, as a humble man, was always correcting me: “I am not a doctor, son, but you can be one.” I grew up feeling like I had no limits because of moments like this, which has helped me take risks personally and professionally in spite of the hardships I had to endure.

Being born to Mexican immigrants meant that my parents had to work very hard to provide for my family and I had to learn to struggle through school paperwork on my own, because my parents' English was limited and they couldn't always be there motivating us through the process. If I wanted to succeed academically, my perseverance, and strength would be tested.

Perseverance, strength and good education are the gateway to success. And this is especially true when you look at the obstacles that Latinos have to overcome to succeed in public schools. For instance, while the national high school dropout (辍学) rate has decreased significantly, we still have the highest dropout rate in the country. We are more likely to live in poverty and attend racially separated schools. These issues create many other problems for Latinos.

To help relieve my family burden, I found my first job when I was 14 at a local hotel. Despite the long hours on my new job, I worked hard. Meanwhile, I continually stressed the importance of getting a respectable education and did everything possible to get one step closer to making my dream a reality.

Nearly a decade later, I became the first in my family to graduate from the University of Southern California. Knowing the social, economic, and political struggles that a community faces, I began to pursue journalism to give the disadvantaged minorities a voice.

1.What inspired the author when he was a child?

A. His curiosity about the stethoscope.　　 B. A nurse in his father's hospital.

C. The encouraging words from his father.　　 D. The hardships he suffered.

2.The example in the third paragraph given by the author suggests ________.

A. more Latinos are receiving higher education in America

B. racial separation has long been forbidden in America

C. American education system is better constructed

D. Latino immigrants are still facing many problems

3.The author chose to become a journalist, hoping to ________.

A. speak for the disadvantaged Latinos　　 B. enjoy a different life

C. show his success as a Latino　　 D. repay the sacrifice his parents made

4.What can we learn from the author’s experience?

A. Immigration is an approach to personal success.

B. American Dream is difficult for the Latinos to achieve.

C. Disadvantaged Latinos are still facing many challenges.

D. Good education is a way to successful life.
