Last year, my boyfriend suggested that I should run the London marathon(马拉松), and I laughed. He laughed too, but he laughed too long and too loud. That made me think. I realized that he didn't believe that I could do it. That made me angry, and determined, Now he knows that I can!
Training wasn't easy, but I kept going. I didn't need special training but I did need to buy very good shoes. Each day, I went a little further. By the end of three months, I was running five days a week. Some- times in the evenings I ran 10 km; on Sunday mornings, I sometimes ran about 30 kin. I used to come home, have a shower and eat my breakfast. I felt wonderful!
On the day of the race in London, I lined up with about 30,000 other runners. The faster runners were at the front, while slower runners like me were placed further back. In that way, the professional runners and club runners were not slowed down by the amateurs(业余爱好者).
At first, there were so many runners close together that we were almost falling over each other. We could only run very slowly but that was a good thing because it meant that we didn't rush off too quickly. Gradually the runners spread out and there was more space. There were thousands of people watching us along the route and they cheered and clapped everyone, even the slowest runner. It was wonderful!
For the first 10 km I felt very happy and my legs felt very comfortable. However, at 15 km I got a pain in my side and running became difficult, but I kept going and the pain disappeared. At the 30 km mark, I felt extremely tired, and wanted to stop, but I kept on going. I covered another 3 km and then I began to feel better again.
By the time I reached the 35 km mark, I knew I was going to get to the end of the course. Somehow that confidence made me feel lighter and faster and it seemed as if my legs flew over the last few kilometers. I passed hundreds of slower runners, some of whom had passed me earlier, and I felt wonderful! AS I came round the last bend(弯道)and saw the finishing line, I could see three runners ahead of me. I raced past all of them to finish the race in just under four hours. The winner had completed the race in 2 hours and 10 minutes, but I didn't care! I had run 42 km and completed my first marathon!
72. The writer's boyfriend laughed at her because.
A. he thought she could run the marathon

B. many runners fell over each other
C. all the runners were asked to run slowly
D. the professional runners and club runners ran very fast
74. The hardest time for the writer was when she________
A. had run for 15 kilometers
B. got a pain in her side
C. reached the 30 kilometer mark
D. was about to reach the finish line

Two new studies suggest that modern running shoes could increase the risk of injuries to runners.
One study involved sixty-eight healthy young women and men who ran at least twenty-four kilometers a week.The runners were observed on a treadmill machine(跑步机).Sometimes they wore running shoes.Other times they ran barefoot.
Researchers found that running shoes create more stress that could damage knees,hips and ankle joints than running barefoot.They observed that the effect was even greater than the effect reported earlier for walking in high heels.
The other study compared runners in the United States and Kenya.The researchers divided the runners into three groups.One group had always run shoeless.Another group had always run with shoes.And the third group had changed to shoeless running.
Runners who wear shoes usually come down heel first.That puts great force on the back of the foot.But the study found that barefoot runners generally land on the front or middle of their foot.That way they ease into their landing and avoid striking their heels.
Daniel Lieberman says the way most running shoes are designed may explain why those who wear them land on their heels.The heel of the shoe is bigger and heavier than other parts of the shoe,so it would seem more likely to come down first.Also,the heel generally has thick material under it to soften landings.
But the researchers do not suggest that runners immediately start running barefoot.They say it takes some training.And there can be risks,like running when your feet are too cold to feel if you get injured.
1.What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Running in shoes is partly good to runners.
B. Two new discoveries encourage people to run in high heels.
C. Walking in high heels could cause less serious effects than running barefoot.
D. Two new studies prove running without shoes is beneficial to runners in most cases.
2. From the fifth paragraph we can infer that__________.
A. running barefoot is faster than running in shoes.
B. the landing point is very important in running.
C. running shoeless can give people a real exercise.
D. different running ways cause different injuries.
3.Why do people who run in shoes land on their heels?
A. Because the shoes put great force on the back of the foot.
B. Because the design of running shoes is unreasonable.
C. Because people who often run get used to landing on their heels.
D. Because the running people want to run faster.
4.What’s the writer’s attitude towards the use of the modern running shoes?
A. Positive. B. Persuasive.
C. Objective. D. Supportive.
