A mnth befre my first marathn, ne f my ankles was injured and this meant nt running fr tw weeks, leaving me nly tw weeks t train. Yet, I was determined t g ahead.
I remember back t my 7th year in schl. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us t run laps and then hit a sftball. I didn’t d either well. He later infrmed me that I was “nt athletic”.
The idea that I was “nt athletic” stuck with me fr years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, nt abut cmpetitin r whether r nt I was athletic. It was all abut the battle against my wn bdy and mind. A test f wills!
The night befre the marathn, I dreamt that I culdn’t even find the finish line. I wke up sweating and nervus, but ready t prve smething t myself.
Shrtly after crssing the start line, my she laces (鞋带) became untied. S I stpped t readjust. Nt the start I wanted!
At mile 3, I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”
By mile 17, I became ut f breath and the nce injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the curse walking a bit and then running again.
By mile 21, I was starving!
As I apprached mile 23, I culd see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clck sunding at 4 a.m. r questined my expenses n running.
I was ne f the final runners t finish. But I finished! And I gt a medal. In fact, I gt the same medal as the ne that the guy wh came in first place had.
Determined t be myself, mve frward, free f shame and wrldly labels (标签), I can nw call myself a “marathn winner”.
What did the authr d ne mnth befre the marathn?
He lst hpe.B. He felt scared.
C. He was well trained.D. He made up his mind t run.
Why did the authr mentin the P.E. class in his 7th schl year?
T share a precius memry.
T shw he was nt talented in sprts.
T appreciate the supprt f his teacher.
T amuse the readers with a funny stry.
Hw was the authr’s first marathn?
He made it.B. He quit halfway.
C. He gt the first prize.D. He walked t the end.
What des the stry mainly tell us?
One is never t ld t learn.
Failure is the mther f success.
A winner is ne with great effrts and determinatin.
A man shuld we his success t his family’s selfless supprt.

Maths anxiety is lder than yu might think. A hundred years ag, German physicist Felix Auerbach, wrried abut the situatin and hping t find ways t deal with it, wrte a little bk called The Fear f Mathematics and Hw t Overcme It. Fr a mathematician like myself, the pleasure f reading his bk is fllwed by a sigh f regret that the tpic is as imprtant tday as it was a century ag.
Why d we fear mathematics? At heart, says Auerbach, it cmes dwn t a basic misunderstanding f what maths is. The fear f messing up a calculatin (计算) may be real, but the fact that there are many excellent mathematicians wh are terrible at calculatin prves that maths skills and mathematics aren’t the same thing.
What, then, is mathematics? Auerbach says it is three things: a science, a language and an art. Fr me, part f the prblem is that we are ften stuck in the “science” bx. If we can be shwn the beauty f mathematics, we might stp fearing the calculatins supprting it. As a language, what sets maths apart is the cmmn truth — yu can becme fluent wherever yu are frm. As an art, the beauty f maths lies in finding its beautiful patterns (模式) that help us t understand the endless, explre art and nature, and delight in the perfectin f ideas. Fcusing cmpletely n calculatin skills misses the jy and excitement that can cme frm discvering and understanding the patterns, frm seeing the artistic beauty f mathematics.
Sme experts like t pint ut that we experience anxiety the same way we experience excitement. In the same way, fear can be negative r psitive. Our gal shuld be t mve peple frm a narrw view f mathematics as nly calculatins t admire its deeper meanings
— as a science, a language and an art.
What des the authr think f Auerbach’s bk in Paragraph 1?
It is nt imprtant tday.B. It verstates the fear f maths.
C. It talks abut a cmmn prblem.D. It is nly ppular with mathematicians.
Why d peple fear mathematics?
They can’t d calculatins well.
The math language is t difficult.
They dn’t get supprt frm teachers.
They dn’t understand what maths really is.
Hw can we see mathematics as an art?
By fcusing n calculatin skills.
By explring its beautiful patterns.
By using it in scientific inventins.
By learning it as a unique language.
What des the passage suggest we d when learning maths?
Express ur fear.B. Ask experts fr help.
C. Change ur pinins abut it.D. Learn a new language.

“Yur bdy is kind f lazy,” said Michael Betts, a persnal trainer and directr at Train
Fitness wh’s based in Lndn. “Ding these little exercise snacks reminds yur bdy that it des need t wrk t keep and imprve its verall health.”

Yu dn’t lk happy, Marc. What’s wrng?” she said. Marc let ut a lng sigh, puring ut his frustratin—hw the upcming math exam felt like an impssible muntain, and hw Huck’s casual “bet yu can’t tp a B” had nly added t his anxiety. Lily’s eyes sftened; she placed a hand n his shulder and said, “Let’s stp verthinking and start small. We’ll break this dwn tgether.” She helped him srt thrugh the mst crucial tpics and walked him thrugh difficult prblems, patience in every explanatin. Over the next few days, Marc buried himself in practice, late-night study leaving him tired but fcused. With each slved prblem, the fg in his mind lifted, replaced by a faint spark f cnfidence.
On the day f the exam, Marc went t schl with great cnfidence. He read each questin carefully, Lily’s tips eching in his head, and wrked thrugh them step by step. When he handed in his paper, a heavy weight seemed t slide ff his chest. Days later, the results came: Marc had scred a slid A. Huck, wh still gt a higher grade, clapped him n the back with a grin. “Gd jb, Marc! That’s a huge leap — let’s keep pushing each ther next time.” Marc smiled, his heart light; he knew this wasn’t just a gd grade — it was prf he culd rise t the challenge.
