Strong winds and cold temperatures tested New York City Marathon runners on Sunday. Despite the tough conditions, about 50,000 people completed the 26.2-mile course. They wound (曲折而行) their way from the starting line in Staten Island through Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx toward the finish line in Manhattan’s central Park.
Wilson Kipsang from Kenya won the marathon in 2 hours, 10 minutes, 59 seconds. Because of the wind, his time was the slowest winning time in New York since 1995. it was more than 7 and a half minutes off the world record he set just over a year ago in Berlin. The runners adjusted carefully to 30 mph winds by sticking to a slow pace at the start.
Keitany, also from Kenya, won the women’s title with a final time of 2:25:07. In her previous NYC Marathon, Ke
itany took an early lead but this year she held back. She and Kenya’s Jemima Sumgong entered Central Park side by side, and Sumgong appeared to be pulling away with just over a mile left. But Keitany had one last burst left and won by 3 seconds. It was the tightest finish in the history of the women’s race. “In the closing miles, my target was to win,” Sumgong said, “but it was Keitany’s day.”
The New York City Marathon has grown from a Central Park race with 55 finishers to the world’s biggest and most popular marathon. Sunday was the 44th edition of the NYC Marathon. The race had its millionth finisher in history.
Keitany, a two-time London Marathon champ, hadn’t run a 26.2-mile race since 2012 because of the birth of her second child. “I worked hard for this opportunity,” she said. “I’m happy because I have a victory today.”

I used to spend the second half of Sunday fearing Monday morning. Over the years, little tweaks to my routine and changes in my ideas have changed things to the point that I am in the “I Love Mondays” camp. Here’s what I’ve found that works:
Consider Sunday nights your warm-up for Monday. Get everything you need for the morning ready to go. If mornings are a struggle… give it a try at least for Mondays and see if it makes a difference. Once that’s done, consider a special “Sunday Night Only” calming down ritual (惯例). It might be tea and a favorite TV show, or it might be a long hot bath and reading until you’re ready for sleep. Whatever it is, enjoy this Monday morning warm-up, and consider sleeping a little earlier than you’re used to, in order to help with the second step.
One of my favorite parts of the weekend is sleeping in and waking up when I’m ready instead of fighting with the alarm for “Just five more minutes!” Sleeping a little early on Sunday night can help with getting up a little early on Monday morning — not to pack more into your morning to-do list, but to give yourself time to take it slowly. When you have a little extra time in the morning, you can gently settle into the day and keep that weekend feeling of ease as you start your new week.
Find a theme for the week. Every Monday, I post an inspiring quote or saying. These are intentional! Each week, as part of my Sunday night calming down time, I consider what I’d like to focus on in the coming week, and look for a quote that’s a good fit to strengthen it.
What are you excited about for the new week? What problem-solving opportunities do you have? What’s been hanging over your head undone from last week? During your preparation time on Sunday night, think about the week ahead and mark a few things that you want to get done and can reasonably accomplish. If possible, schedule at least one of them for Monday, so you’ve started your week off feeling successful, instead of feeling like there’s a mountain of tasks ahead of you. The work is the same either way, but our attitudes are always within our control.
When you are intentionally creating a life you love, Mondays begin to feel less like drudgery (单调乏味的苦差事), and more like a beautiful start!
1.The underlined word “tweaks” is the nearest in meaning to _________.
A.mistakes B.adjustments
C.encouragements D.problems
2.You had better start Monday morning _________.
A.with some morning exercises

B.You can have enough time to make a to-do list for the week.
C.You can have enough time to sit with your tea or coffee.
D.It can make you feel the weekend feeling a little longer by starting slowly.
4.What does the author want to indicate in Para.5?
