• 2．It's funny—as a writer，it's easy to share your knowledge，or your personal stories with an unknown listener of many.You think your friends and family may not read your articles.But as I began to talk more openly about Chinese traditions and food，I learned that they were interested，curious and really hungered for it.Their interest and curiosity grew and the culmination of their interest and curiosity was this past Spring Festival.They would like to spend the Spring Festival with me.It was an inconvenient Monday.I'd never had the Spring Festival when anyone but my father cooked.
     I took the day off work in a madness of last-minute preparation.I drove 45 minutes out of town to a Cantonese BBQ shop where I bought a whole roast duck （烤鴨） and watched，fascinated，as it was changed into bite sizes.I shopped at a faraway international market like madwoman，looking for Chinese vegetables and other foods that would be new for my guests I called my dad，asking for six-second pointers on how to make dishes I'd never made.I texted him pictures of the sea fish I picked out，and the red clothing they threw on for luck.
     In just a few hours，I cooked a dinner of 15 dishes for six friends who cared enough about me and my culture to come over on a cold winter Monday night to celebrate my tradition with me.We drank，ate and toasted the beautiful night.And that night，I felt what it was to be loved for my culture as well as our food.

• 3．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".
  
  （1）A month before the marathon，the author

  .
  A．was well trained
  B．felt scared
  C．made up his mind to run
  D．lost hope
  （2）Why did the author mention the P.E.class in his 7th year？

  
  A．To acknowledge the support of his teacher.
  B．To amuse the readers with a funny story.
  C．To show he was not talented in sports.
  D．To share a precious memory.
  （3）How was the author's first marathon？

  
  A．He made it.
  B．He quit halfway.
  C．He got the first prize.
  D．He walked to the end.
  （4）What does the story mainly tell us？

• 9．I ever studied at a school that was down the street from a homeless shelter（收容所）.The shelter was right next door to a little gas station where they sold breakfast daily.I would rode my bike to the station.I would buy a sandwich and a coke every morning from the store.There was always someone standing around outside asking for money to get something to eat.As my family wasn't rich，I hardly had money to spare，but sometimes I would give the homeless my change until I noticed most of them would go inside and buy a beer with the money instead of food.I stopped giving out my change and just told them I didn't have money.
      One day，as I was walking out of the store，I noticed an old man who was obviously homeless.However，interestingly，he was always wearing a nice suit（西裝） and a tie and just sitting on the sidewalk watching the cars go by.When I walked past him，he asked me in a very kind voice whether I had any change to spare so that he could get a sandwich.Before I could say a word，he added that he wasn't wanting"beer money".I had just enough money in my pocket that day to pay for another sandwich and a can of coke.So，I just walked back inside the store and bought him some breakfast.When I came out and gave it to him，his eyes lit up.He said，"Thank you very much!"We sat and talked for a minute before I had to go to school.
      It became an everyday ritual（習慣）.I learned that his name was Massey and from Africa.Whenever I had the money to spare，I would buy two sandwiches and two cokes.We would sit outside the store，have our breakfast together and talk for a while until it was time for me to go to school.
  For a while，I stopped buying our breakfast every morning because my brother's birthday was coming up.I wanted to save up so that I could buy him a gift.I explained to Massey the reason and he said he understood，but still sat and talked with me.
  注意：
  1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應為150左右；
  2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應位置作答。
      My brother's birthday finally came and I felt depressed because I hadn't too much money to buy him a gift.______________
      The next day when it came time for our morning chat，I asked Massey if he had left the gift on my bike._________
