In this class a little German boy, who does not speak 28 ，cried all the time at first and now cries occasionally.
The Monday of the second week the little fellow just cried and cried. He was sitting 29 Matthew. I thought Matthew was going to start 30 and join in. I stood by and watched, ready for the rescue.

Actually he was just standing by and crying. Matthew drove his truck over to the blocks, 34 it, picked up a few of the blocks and started handing them to 35 . They then together started 36 towers on the table and the little boy 37 crying．It seemed 38 Matthew knew what the little guy needed．Here was the little guy，who can’t speak English，and Matthew，who 39 playing together，like they were best 40 .
One of the days when I stayed，they were at lunch and Matthew was 41 at the table. I pulled up a chair to sit next to him．He smiled，then grabbed his book bag and took off running 42 the cafeteria．I took off after him．When we reached the wall he just giggled (咯咯笑)，turned around and looked at me． I bent 43 to blame him for leaving his seat and running.

A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined 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 informed me that I was “not athletic”.
The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. 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 and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.
Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!
At mile 3, I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”
By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
By mile 21, I was starving!
As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.
Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels, I can now call myself a “marathon winner”.
1.A month before the marathon, the author ____________.
A. was well trained B. made up his mind to run
C. felt scared D. lost hope
2.Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?
A. To show he was not talented in sports. B. To amuse the readers with a funny story.
C. To thank his teacher for the support . D. To share a precious memory.
3.How was the author’s first marathon?
A. He got the first prize. B. He quit halfway.
C. He made it. D. He walked to the end.
4.What ’s the best title of the passage?
A. Many heads are better than one. B. Failure is the mother of success.
C. Victory belongs to the most persevering(不屈不挠的). D. One is never too old to learn.

Our first winter in Canada was the happiest we have ever experienced. We were living in the countryside then and had just arrived from Hong Kong that autumn.
One evening in mid December snow began to fall. When we looked out of the window and saw that it was snowing, we all cheered. It was the first snow we had ever seen and we were excited. We could hardly wait for the snow to stop so that we could go out to play. Next morning when we woke up, it was still snowing. We switched on the radio and learned that more than ten inches of snow had fallen during the night and that since the roads were blocked（堵塞） there would be no school that day. We jumped up and down for joy and begged mother to let us go outside to play in the snow. She said we could go out after breakfast if we dressed ourselves warmly and promised to come back as soon as we felt cold.
When we went out, the snow had almost stopped. The roads, paths, gardens, and playing grounds were all hidden under a white blanket of soft snow. It was the most beautiful sight we had ever seen. Just then, we saw some neighbors’ children coming out to play. We ran over to join them. Together we built a snowman and a snow house. After that, we took turns sliding down a hill on a large piece of card-board. We were having so much fun when supper time came. Mother almost had to force us to go in and eat.
