It was a dark and cold night. The car driver didn’t have even one passenger all day. When he went by the railway station, he saw a young man coming out with two bags in his hands. So he quickly opened the door of the car and asked, “Where do you want to go, sir?”

“To the Star Hotel,” the young man answered. When the car driver heard that, he didn’t feel happy. The young man would give him only three dollars because the hotel was not far from the railway station. But suddenly, he had an idea. He took the passenger through many streets of the big city.

After a long time, the car finally arrived at the hotel. “You should pay me fifteen dollars,” the car driver said to the young man. “What! Fifteen dollars? Do you think I’m a fool?

I won’t pay you one dollar more than I paid to the other car driver last week.”

At the age of eight, Glenn Cunningham was severely injured in a fire. He had major burns over the lower half of his body and was taken to a nearby county hospital.

From his bed, the semi-conscious（半昏迷的）little boy heard the doctor talking to his mother. The doctor told his mother that her son would surely die—which was for the best, really—for the terrible fire had destroyed the lower half of his body.

But somehow, to the amazement of the physician, he did survive. The mother was told that her son was bound to spend a lifetime in a wheelchair.

But this brave little boy was determined that he would walk and even run. But unfortunately, from the waist down, Glenn had no motor ability. His thin, scarred legs just hung there, all but lifeless. Yet his courage that he would walk was as strong as ever.

One sunny day his mother wheeled him out into the yard to get some fresh air. This day, instead of sitting there, he threw himself from the chair. Glenn worked his way to the fence, dragging his legs behind him. Then, step by step, he began dragging himself along the fence, determined that he would walk. He started to do this every day until eventually Glenn did develop the ability first to stand up , then to walk with help, then to walk by himself—and then amazingly—to run. Glenn began to run to school. He ran everywhere as fast as he could. Later in college, Glenn joined the track team where he received the nickname（绰号）the “Kansas Flyer”.

1938 witnessed this young man’s another amazing achievement. This young man, who was not expected to survive, who would surely never walk, who could never hope to run, ran the mile in 4 minutes and 4.4 seconds, the world’s fastest indoor mile! His persistence paid off.

1.What did the doctor think of Glenn’s injury?

A.It would take a long time for him to fully recover.

B.It would cost lots of money to cure him.

C.He would be semi-conscious.

D.He had little chance of surviving.

2.Why did Glenn receive the nickname the “ Kansas Flyer”?

A.Because he looked like the “ Kansas Flyer”.

B.Because he once acted as the “ Kansas Flyer”.

C.Because he could run very fast.

D.Because he joined the track team.

3.What achievement did Glenn make in 1938?

A.He survived. B.He developed the ability to walk.

C.He began to run to school. D.He set a world record.

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A.The power of determination. B.The dream for championship.

C.The key to high performance. D.The mistake of a doctor.
