My First Marathon（马拉松）

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

I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed 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, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!

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

Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!

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. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.

By mile 21, I was starving!

As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.

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 one that 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＂.

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

A. was well trained B. felt scared

C. made up his mind to run D. lost hope

25. Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?

A. To acknowledge the support of his teacher.

B. To show he was not talented in sports.

C. To amuse the readers with a funny story.

D. To share a precious memory.

26. How was the author’s first marathon?

A. He walked to the end. B. He quit halfway.

C. He got the first prize. D. He made it.

27. What does the story mainly tell us?

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

B. A winner is one with a great effort of will.

C. Failure is the mother of success.

D. One is never too old to learn.

C

If our kids don’t fall, they don’t learn to get up. I still remember the day in high school that my mom forgot to pick me up from school. I’m the oldest of four children, and no doubt she’d had a long day with the other kids and it’d slipped her mind. After waiting at school for an hour, I walked the three miles home, and when I got to my house, I shut our front door with anger, stormed into the kitchen and screamed in my mom’s face that she’d forgotten me.

Later that night, my dad told me I no longer had a ride to school the next day. I figured my mom would still take me, but when the morning came, she refused. It was midterm, and as a straight-A student ready to start college applications, being late wasn’t an option. In my mind, missing these tests would have been the end of my academic career. I begged my mom. I told her she was ruining my future and everything I’d worked for. But she held her ground, and that day, I walked to school. And I missed my tests.

My mom didn’t rescue me from failure. She let me suffer from it. She let me figure it out. She let me learn. Now, as a mom myself, I’ve realized that I want my kids to experience failure because failure is how we grow, learn and think outside of ourselves. It’s how we self-educate to learn what’s right and respectable, and what’s not. It’s how we become responsible and enthusiastic. Falling down makes us better because we learn how to get up.

28.What is one of the reasons that the author got angry that day?

A．She was tired. B．She failed in a test.

C．She was late for school. D．She had to walk home by herself.

29.How does the author feel about her childhood experience?

A．Terrible. B．Embarrassing C．Meaningful. D．Colorful.

30.The underlined phrase “held her ground” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.

A．kept to her idea B．said yes to me

C．stayed in the place D．gave in to me

31.What is the best title for the text?

A．My Way of Growing B．The Value of Failure

C．My Love for Mother D．Failure in My Life

D

The theatre in Shakespeare's time was much different than it is today. Authors wrote plays for the masses, especially those who couldn't read or write.

The theatre changed a lot during Shakespeare's lifetime. The authorities didn't like it and didn't allow acting in the city itself: They thought it had a bad influence on people and kept them from going to church. Queen Elizabeth, on the other hand, loved acting and helped the theatre become popular.

The theatre in Shakespeare's time was full of life. People did not sit all the time and it was not quiet during the performance. The audience could walk around, eat and drink during the play.

Theatres were open arenas or playhouses that had room for up to three thousand people. There was almost no scenery because the dialogue was the most important part of the play. Colourful and well-designed costumes were very important and told the people about the status of a character. Women never performed in plays, so young boys played female characters. The performances took place in the afternoon because it was too dark at night.

There was no stage crew as there is today. Actors had to do everything themselves—from making costumes to setting the stage. Plays were organized by acting companies. They performed about 6 different plays each week because they needed money to survive. They had almost no time to rehearse（排练）.

The companies in Shakespeare's time had a rank system. The companies belonged to shareholders and managers. They were responsible for everything and got most of the money when the company was successful. Sometimes they even owned their own buildings. Actors worked for the managers and after some time became a permanent member of the company. Apprentices（学徒）were young boys and were allowed to act in unimportant roles. They also played female characters in plays.

32. Why was the theatre banned by the authorities?

A. The queen didn't like it.

B. It was much different than before.

C. They thought it affected people negatively.

D. They thought it kept people going to church.

33. What does the underlined word “arenas” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. stores.    B. systems.           C. companies.   D. stages.

34. What do we know about the actors?

A. They were too busy to practice.

B. They could drink during the play.

C. They had stage crew to help them.

D. They were rich by running acting companies.

35. What is the author's purpose of writing the text?

A. To remember Shakespeare.

B. To show his love of Shakespeare's plays.

C. To introduce theatres in Shakespeare's time.

D. To discuss the company's rank system.

Dear Bryan,

May Day is coming. Welcome to my home to spend the holiday together with me and I've prepared some activities for our holiday. First, my mother will cook a lot of traditional Chinese food for us, such as jiaozi, pancakes and roast chicken, which, I think, you'll love. Besides, I'll take you downtown for the annual art festival, where you can see many works of art by Chinese masters. Last but not least, if you like, we can volunteer to take care of the old in the nursing home.

I believe we'll have a good time on May Day and I'm looking forward to your arrival.

Yours,

Li Hua
