My First Marathon(馬拉松) A month before my first marathon,one of my ankles(腳踝)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(通知) 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(鞋帶)became untied.So I stopped to readjust(重新調(diào)整).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 am 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(世俗標簽),I can now call myself a "marathon winner".

  • 2.Craig grew up on "a gentleman's farm" in Colorado with horses,cows,and chickens.When he was 18,Craig was already running some of the businesses.He planned to earn a business degree in college,but on a fateful trip to Florida,he visited a friend who worked as a grounds-keeper at a zoo. "I just wanted to say hi,but he showed me around,and in the back,I saw lions and tigers in these cages that were so small that you wouldn't want to keep a dog in them," he says.The animals were surplus(過剩)and would likely be euthanized(使安樂死).
       When a sad Craig returned to Colorado,he called the Denver Zoo about taking the animals,but Denver's zookeepers also had a surplus.Then it occurred to him:Perhaps he could bring the animals to the family farm.He was only 19,but he studied local regulations and formed a nonprofit organization.He next wrote zoos nationwide offering to help if they planned to euthanize animals.
       After about five years,he bought a second,larger property before moving to the shelter's current location northeast of Denver.The goal,he says,is to provide the animals with plentiful space and to treat them with dignity and respect. "We have prides of lions that live together,just like they would in the wild," he says. "They're wandering free and playing and doing what they want.We just give them medical care and food."
       Craig opened the shelter to visitors in 2002.Although he was originally unwilling,Craig now sees it as an opportunity to educate more people. "We want the public to know,if they hear about some guy driving around in his Ferrari with a tiger or a lion,they should say,What are you doing?That animal is going to end up dead or in some dirty roadside zoo." The shelter receives 150,000 guests a year.Given his goal of treating the animals with respect-the shelter prohibits feeding and hands-on human contact -visitors observe the animals from a 30-foot-high,1.5-mile-long elevated walkway.

    (1)What made Craig decide to help animals?

    A.The need to run his farm.
    B.The influence from his friend.

    A.To draw visitors.
    B.To play with animals.
    C.To live a comfortable life.
    D.To offer animals more space.
    (3)How do visitors observe the animals in the shelter?

    A.By riding a car.
    B.By taking an elevator.
    C.Through contact with animals.
    D.From the passage above the ground.
