Most people choose to take it easy after they retire,but Wang Guilan,an old lady from Liaoning Province,is definitely not one of them.She only started running at the age of 50,as a way to keep in shape,but soon realized it was her passion.She ran her first marathon in 2004 and hasn’t stopped since.From 2005 to 2017 she completed the annual Beijing Marathon thirteen times,and this year she set a new record,becoming the oldest person to ever complete the 168-kilometer marathon.

So,how does a 70-year-old stay in good-enough shape to complete a marathon while many people cannot?As a matter of fact,Wang runs at least 20 kilometers every day from Monday to Saturday,and on Sunday she runs some more alongside the members of her long-distance running club.She prefers running on mountain roads in her hometown,but in winter,when the weather doesn’t allow it,she runs on ordinary roads.

Wang is also a fan of mountaineering,and participated in the International Mount Tai Climbing Festival,where she managed to rank 27th out of thousands of participants.She once participated in an extreme challenge,where she had to run 208 track laps while staying awake for 48 hours.

Remarkably,Wang has suffered almost no injuries to her knees or ankles over the years,which she attributes to her difficult childhood—that hardened both her body and spirit.The only serious problem is the cataracts (白内障) affecting eyes,which is why she completed some of the marathons with the help of a headlamp. 

Wang is a firm believer that age is just a number,and plans to continue running marathons and enjoying the sunset of her life as long as her health allows.

UN Chinese Language Day is celebrated annually on April 20.The event was set up by the UN Department of Public Information in order to get equal use of all six of its official working languages throughout the organization.

The first Chinese Language Day was celebrated in 2010 on the 12th of November.But since 2011,the date has been the 20th of April.It’s because Chinese Guyu,which is the 6th of 24 solar terms in the traditional Chinese calendar,usually just begins around the date,April 20.Guyu is important to Chinese people.Each year they will celebrate Guyu in memory of the person:Cangjie,who was believed to create Chinese characters.There’s a story that when Cangjie created Chinese characters,it rained millet(粟).Guyu in some way means “rain of millet”.

The Chinese Language Day for 2021 was especially to help people learn about Chinese characters based on symbols.In the building of the UN in New York,three events,which were organized by an organization connected to the UN,focused on three types of Chinese characters based on symbols.The three events were,a guided tour of the Liangzhu Museum,a language class on Dongba words,and a lecture on the history of Chinese characters.The three events were held from April 19 to 21,2021.

Chinese was allowed to be an official language of the United Nations in 1946.However,in the early years,Chinese was not commonly used in the work of the United Nations.The situation improved after the restoration(恢复) of the lawful rights of the People’s Republic of China in the United Nations in 1971.And in 1973,the General Assembly(联合国大会) included Chinese as a working language.Then more and more UN offices and work members work with the Chinese language.

5.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?

A.Traditional Chinese 24 solar terms are well accepted all over the world.

B.The UN Chinese Language Day has been celebrated for over 13 years.

C.UN Chinese Language Day was set up to preserve the Chinese language.

B.They were held in the building of the UN for four days.

C.They paid attention to three types of Chinese characters.

Ⅱ.七选五

(2023江西宜春高三月考)

“Don’t take many English courses;they won’t help you get a decent job.”“Sign up for management classes,so you’ll be ready to join the family business when you graduate.” Many of us have heard suggestions like these put forward by parents or others close to us.　1　 

The answer is yes.Such comments often seem quite reasonable.However,with regard to finding a correct path of career,it relates to decisions you should make.　2　 

One of the worst reasons to follow a particular path in life is that other people want you to.Decisions that affect your life should be your decisions—decisions you make after you’ve considered various alternatives and chosen the path that suits you best.

3　 For instance,your parents do have their own unique experiences that may make their advice helpful,and having participated in a great deal of your personal history,they may have a clear view of your strengths and weaknesses.　4　 They may still see you as a child,in need of care and protection.Or they may see only your strengths.Or,in some unfortunate cases,they may focus only on your flaws and shortcomings. 

For the whole life,we are always in the wandering and hesitation.　5　 Unless you’ve already determined to be their faithful audience,you shouldn’t worry too much about letting others control your actions.Ultimately,though,you can assure that your own judgments will lead your way. 

A.Should we follow the path that they choose for us?

B.You are the one who must live with their consequences.

C.Should suggestions like these be taken with caution?

D.A person’s journey through life might be seen as a series of decisions.

E.Making your own decisions does not mean that you should ignore the suggestions of others.

F.People will always be giving you advice on your path.

G.Still,their views are not necessarily accurate.
