On Sunday 23 April, more than 30, 000 people joined in the 2017 London Marathon, running 26.2 miles around the city center.

Running a marathon (马拉松) is difficult enough. Doing it with eyes closed for 26.2 miles is more difficult. But that’s exactly what Mike Bruno plans to do during the Pittsburgh marathon.

He’s doing this for his 7-year-old daughter, Cassie, who doesn’t like to communicate with others and has been blind since birth. “Having a blind daughter clearly has caused me a lot of trouble,” Bruno said. “ But it doesn't matter. I love my daughter. I hope to get a better understanding of how she deals with her daily life. I hope this journey will finally make me a better father to guide Cassie through her life.”

“When the doctor told us ‘Your baby is not going to see’, that was the most terrible experience we had ever had,” said Bruno.

“Sometimes I walk around the house with my eyes closed to see what it’s like for her,” said Cassie’s older sister, Carly, 9 years old. “It's kind of scary. You don’t know where everything is.”

But Cassie has fought against difficulties, and her father plans to do the same. “I closed my eyes, and I got ready, and then I tried running, just to see what it is like for her,” said Mike Bruno. “I want everyone to know it’s OK. It’s OK to ask us questions, but it’s not OK to look at us and point to us with surprise. If you’d like to ask us, we will be happy to tell you our story. ”

A. She is deaf.　　 B. She is blind.　　 C. She is lame (瘸的).　　 D. She is stupid.

C. only one leg　　 D. some stones in his pocket

3.What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A. The distance of the marathon.　　 B. The illness of Cassie.

C. The reason why Mike Bruno will run the marathon with his eyes closed.　　 D. Carly's feeling of walking around with eyes closed.

4.From the last paragraph we can learn that ______.

B. Mike Bruno thinks it's OK to point to his daughter

C. it's not OK to ask Mike Bruno to tell the story of his daughter

A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles (踝关节) was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I decided to go ahead.

I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P. E. class, the teacher required us to run and hit a softball. I didn't do either well. He later told 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. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. It was a test of wills.

The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn't even find the finish line. I woke up sweating (出汗) and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.

The next day, the Marathon started.

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.

By mile 21, I was quite hungry. As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan.

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 guy who came in first place had.

Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels (世俗标签). I can now call myself a "marathon winner".

1.A month before the marathon, the author ____________.

A.was well trained B.felt excited C.made up his mind to run D.lost hope

3.How was the author's first marathon?

A.He made it. B.He stopped halfway.

C.He got the first prize. D.He walked to the end.

4.What does the story mainly tell us?

A.A man ones his success to his family support.
