The marathon(马拉松) in my town usually takes place in hot weather. My job was to follow the runners to help those who needed medical help. “We should stay behind the last runner, so take it slowly,” I said to the driver, Doug.
As it began, the front runners started to disappear(消失). Then I noticed a woman in blue running shorts and a white T-shirt. “ Doug, look!” We knew we were watching our “last runner”. Her feet turned in , yet her left knee turned out. Her legs were so crippled(畸形的) that it seemed impossible for her to be able to walk. How could she run a marathon?
We watched in silence as she slowly moved forward. We would move forward a little bit, then stop and wait for her. Then we would slowly move forward a little bit more. As I watched her try to put one foot in front of the other, I found myself breathing for her. I wanted her to stop, and at the same time, I hoped that she wouldn’t. Finally, she was the only runner left in sight. When the finishing line came into sight, we found the cheering people had all gone home. She slowly crossed through the line and lifted her hands, full of happiness.
I do not know the woman’s name, but since that day she has become a part of my life. For her, it was about finishing what she had set out to do, no matter what. When I think things are too difficult and want to say “I just can’t do it”, I think of the last runner. Then I realize how easy the task before me really is.
1.When does the marathon usually take place in the writer’s town?
A.In spring. | B.In summer. | C.In autumn. | D.In winter. |
2.The last runner had problems with her________.
A.head | B.back | C.legs | D.arms |
3.Why did the woman take part in the marathon?
A.To win a good prize |
B.To beat the other runners |
C.To make friends with others |
D.To finish what she had decided to do |

Dear Nancy,
You asked about places to go and things to do in my town. Let me tell you now.
The Downtown Plaza is always fun. It’s a shopping area in the oldest part of town. There are some good stores and restaurants there. For example, Andrea's Boutique is in Downtown Plaza. It's a fun place to shop, and it has the best quality clothes.
My favorite restaurant in town is Nick's Cafe. It is near my house. It's cheap and its hamburgers are great. I like Dragon City Restaurant? too. You can eat wonderful noodles there and the beef noodles are the most delicious! You must try the dumplings, too! But the dumplings are more expensive than Nick’s.
The Suburb Cinema is the best movie theater. It has the biggest screens and the most comfortable seats. The Del Ray Complex is a good place to go to the movies, too. It doesn't have the newest movies, but the tickets are cheaper than any other theater in town.
Anyway, there are lots of things to do and see here. Come for a visit soon!
Kate

When I was in the seventh grade, I helped take care of the sick people at a hospital in my town. Most of the time I spend there was with Mr. Green. He never had any visitors and nobody seemed to care about his condition. I spent many days there holding his hand and talking to him, helping with anything that needed to be done. He became a close friend of mine though he was in a coma(昏迷).
I left for a one-week holiday with my parents, and when I came back, Mr. Green was gone. I was afraid to ask any of the nurses where he was. Several years later, I was a student in high school. One day when I was at a bus station. I noticed a familiar (熟悉的) face. When I realized who it was, I couldn’t stop crying. I asked him if his name was Mr. Green and if he had been in a coma about five years ago. With an unsure look on his face, he replied ‘yes’. I explained how I knew him, and that I had spent many hours taking with him in the hospital. His eyes were also full of tears and he gave me the warmest hug I had ever received. He began to tell me about his story. He said he could hear me talking to him and could feel me holding his hand the whole time. He thought it was an angel, not a person, who was here with him. Mr. Green believed that it was my voice and my touch that kept him alive. Although I haven’t seen him since, he fills my heart with joy every day. I know that I made a difference in his life. More important, he has made a big difference in my life.
