26、The yearly Academy Awards ceremony was once a private affair. Now, because of television, it is very much a public affair. Hundreds of people gather in Hollywood to see the Oscars presented to outstanding actors, and others involved in the motion picture industry. Millions more watch on television.

It all began on May 16, 1929, when 270 men and women sat down to dinner at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. There was no secret about the winners. The names of the winners had been known for months．Janet Gaynor, for example, had won as Best Actress．Douglas Fairbanks presented her with the famous gold statue. The little statue was not then called Oscar. Like a new actor, Oscar was unknown. About six years later, it somehow got that renowned name. A number of explanations have been offered for its origin, but nobody knows the true story for certain.

Nowadays the results of the Oscar voting are kept secret. Only two people know the winners before the names are announced at the ceremony. The counting of votes is not done by one group of people but by different groups. Nobody except two members of an accounting company sees the final results.

The information is not kept in open files. Winners' names are placed in closed envelopes．The accountants each carry a complete set of envelopes to the ceremony．One set is simply a spare to be used in case something happens to the other one．

27、   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

【2】Why did the author mention the P. E. class in his 7th year?

A.To show the support of his teacher. B.To tell the readers a funny story.

C.To show he was not talented in sports. D.To share a valuable memory.

【3】How was the author's first marathon?

A.He made it. B.He stopped halfway.

C.He got the first prize. D.He walked to the end.

【4】What does the story mainly tell us?

A.A man ones 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.Soon learn, soon forgotten.

28、

Why do we call women jinguo(巾帼）in Chinese?

In China, jinguo is a cool and somewhat literary way to refer to women.

But what does it【1】(actual) mean ?

It is a kind of【2】/skɑːf/ or head wrap that was worn in ancient China.

Before the Han Dynasty (206 BC - AD 220), it was fashionable for men and women to use jinguo to wrap their hair. Later on, only women wore them.

It is said that jinguo was used to refer to women because of Zhuge Liang—a famous statesman who lived【3】/ˈdʊrɪŋ/  the Three Kingdoms period(220-228).【4】(story) say that Zhuge once started a war【5】the Wei Kingdom. However, the Wei general（将军） Sima Yi didn’t want to fight and asked his army to stay in the city. Zhuge then【6】 （send） a jinguo to Sima as a form of humiliation（羞辱）—implying that Sima was as timid（胆怯的）as a little girl.

After that, people started to use jinguo to refer to women, but as a form of praise【7】 . There is a phrase“巾帼不让须眉”, which means “women are not inferior to men”. Xumei refers to men because men often have【8】 /θɪk/ beards and eyebrows.

People also put jinguo and yingxiong together to make the phrase“jinguo yingxiong”, or “female heroes”.【9】 example, Hua Mulan and Mu Guiying were both well-known jinguo yingxiong in ancient China.

Today, jinguo yingxiong doesn’t just refer to female warriors like Hua and Mu. It can refer to any outstanding woman who has made great 【10】(achieve).
