24、 A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles (踝关节) was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I decided to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P. E. class, the teacher required us to run and hit a softball. I didn't do either well. He later told 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. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. It was a test of wills.
The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn't even find the finish line. I woke up sweating (出汗) and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.
The next day, the Marathon started.
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.
By mile 21, I was quite hungry. As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan.
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 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".
【1】A month before the marathon, the author ____________.
A.was well trained B.felt excited C.made up his mind to run D.lost hope

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

25、 You’ve probably never seen a movie quite like this one. Loving Vincent is the world’s first hand-painted animated movie. It is made fully with paintings. Every scene was created using oil paint on canvas(画布). Twelve frames(画面) were painted just to show one second of the movie. It took more than 100 artists seven years to complete it.
The movie has gotten good reviews since it came out on the Chinese mainland on Dec. 8. Its box office has reached over $20 million(132.43 million yuan) worldwide, according to Variety.
The film tells the story of the final months of famous Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890). The story is told through his paintings and the characters in them. It shows his death as being part of a murder mystery, as Hollywood Reporter said.
A young man named Armand Roulin serves as both detective and storyteller. A year after the death of Vincent van Gogh, Armand is instructed by his father, Postman Joseph Roulin, to personally send a letter to Vincent’s brother, Theo. Armand travelled across Europe to the town where Vincent spent his final months. When he finds that Theo has died of a disease shortly after his brother, he visits several important people in Van Gogh’s life to find out the truth behind his death. But each person tells a different story.
There are many examples of the artist’s work in the movie. It shows over 120 of his paintings, such as The Night Café, Wheat field With Crows, and The Starry Night. It’s no wonder Empire Magazine called it “ one of the most beautiful films ”.
The real-life letters that Van Gogh wrote to his brother are shown as well. The movie lets you see the real Vincent van Gogh in a different way.

27、
People all over the world are now taking action to fight against the novel coronavirus. But how they behave may depend on their own culture and traditions. Let's take a look.
When everyone in China is wearing masks to stop the novel coronavirus, many people in Western countries don't seem to want to do the same. For example, an Italian lawmaker was criticized (批评)by his coworkers when he went to work with a mask. They said he was "causing panic"(恐慌). But why do the East and West have different ideas about wearing masks? Let's take a look.
Western ideas about masks
In the West, people should wear masks only when they get sick—chronic allergies(慢性过敏) or infectious(传染的)diseases. People see masks as a tool to protect sick people and stop disease from spreading, so healthy people don't need to wear them. Therefore, during the novel coronavirus outbreak, people would be "treated as a virus spreader" if they go out with a mask. Some European and American people say wearing a mask outdoors makes them feel "worried", "shy", and "afraid of being looked at differently."
But as the number of COVID-19 cases is growing around the world, people in the West are changing their ideas. In the US, for example, many healthy people are starting to wear masks now to protect themselves.
Mask culture in the East
In Asian countries like China and Japan, wearing masks is common. In 1910, Chinese doctor Wu Liande invented the modern medical mask during the pneumonic plague(肺鼠疫). Since then, masks have been a symbol of China's position as a modern, scientific nation,according to Scottish medical anthropologist(人类学家)Christos Lynteris. During the 2003 SARS epidemic(传染病), people in China and East Asia also used masks to protect themselves.
In Japan, wearing masks shows your politeness when you get a cold or flu. Some Japanese also turn masks into fashion. They have different colors and patterns to choose to match their clothes. Some young women wear masks when they don't have their makeup on. Many pop stars in Asia also use masks to protect their privacy(隐私). This cultural and historical background has made it easier for people in the East to wear masks when epidemics break out.
【1】What did the coworkers think of the Italian lawmaker?
A.He was too worried to work. B.He made other people nervous.
C.He was unwilling to go to work. D.He was just trying to protect himself.
【2】From the story, what might people use masks to do in Japan?
a. Show politeness. b. Protect privacy. c. Look fashionable. d. Protect their makeup.
A.abc B.bcd C.acd D.abd
【3】From the story, we know that________.
A.healthy people in the West will never wear masks
B.wearing masks is the only way to protect ourselves
C.masks can be used in many different ways
D.masks are not useful during a serious epidemic
28、 Tom is a boy of fifteen. His parents 【1】 (die) two years ago, and he had to make a living by 【2】 (he). Now he is working as a servant at Mr Jackson's. He works hard and the Jacksons are pleased with him.
Mr Jackson enjoys 【3】 (plant) all kinds of trees. There are many kinds of precious(珍贵的) trees in his garden.
Last week Mr Jackson 【4】 (bring) a few trees home, planted them in the garden himself and watered them every day. Some days 【5】 (late), he had to leave for another city.

“【9】 (not worry) about them, sir,” answered Tom. “I 【10】 (try) my best to watch them.”
Six days passed and Mr Jackson came back. As soon as he saw Tom, he asked, “Did anyone come to steal the trees?” “No, sir,”said Tom. “I pulled them six days ago. Now they have been hidden for nearly a week!”
