26、You can't imagine how terrible I felt at that time. 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 mile17, 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".

A. lost hope

27、Hayden,
Congratulations on being 12! Wow, next year you will officially be a teenager. Happy Birthday son! Tm so excited for you.
Last night at the dinner table I told you about how clearly I remember the day before you were born. I sat in front of that fireplace in our very first house in Rowlett, Texas, in 1996 and cried my eyes out before God. I cried because possibly, something could have been wrong with you, but even more than that, I believe I cried out to Him because of the gift he was giving me. You are incredibly (难以置信地) special Hayden Davis. You will make your mark (标记) on the world in amazing ways. I’ve always known that. I’m glad to be your father, and I’m glad I get to see for myself how God will use you.
Over this year we will do many things together. The gifts you receive today will give hints (暗示) of our first big trip that will take place in January. Every quarter there will be a special, secret trip you and I will take up. Many times you won’t know what’s to come; I want you to trust me. Trust that I’m doing what’s right for you and planning events that will be memories for years to come.
Every month I will sit down with you and talk to you about what it takes to be a Christ-follower and leader in this world and how to explore life in a way that honors the God who loves you so dearly. The men who are the closest to you will speak into your life during these months, teaching you the most valuable lessons they’ve learned in life. They are my closest friends and they will also become your friends and confidants (知己).
I will always believe in you and I’ll always be right by your side cheering you on through each and every stage of your life.
On this Thanksgiving Day, I couldn’t be more thankful to have you in my life.
I love you!

28、 I developed postpartum depression (PPD) (产后抑郁症) after giving birth to my first son.Actually, I started feeling bad before I even had my son. It started with severe anxiety about doctors' appointments.
The night I arrived home after giving birth, I had my first panic attack. I doubted I was having a slight heart attack. The next day, a public health nurse visited our home to see if everything was fine with me- whether I had a heart attack or suffered anything else or I was just all alright. She reassured me that I didn't have a heart problem, and informed me that it was likely a panic attack. The nurse visit was part of a program that provided support for new moms. Sadly, it didn't include any information on PPD.
By my six-week postpartum checkup, I knew something was wrong. I was having difficulty falling asleep and I felt like I was slowly going crazy. Panic attacks were more frequent. I talked with my obstetrician (产科医师),but unfortunately, she was not trained to recognize or cure PPD. Now I didn't know whom to turn to for help.
I told my situation to my mom and my husband but they didn't understand what I was really experiencing. They figured that being a new parent was tough for anyone, so feeling a little down after giving birth- “baby blues" was just normal and not necessarily a sign of depression. But my cousin, also a new mom, knew me well, and she could see that something was wrong.
With my cousin's encouragement, I went to see my family doctor and I was finally diagnosed(被诊断为)with PPD. I started taking medication, and began to feel better. Eventually, I rehabilitated, feeling like my old self again.
It is common for new moms to get the“baby blues" mixed up with PPD. The early symptoms are similar, so it can delay a diagnosis because you think the feelings will go away. I do think more attention should be drawn to the letter. After all, a new research finds that about 1 in 7 new mothers will be seriously troubled by PPD.
【1】Why did the nurse visit the author?
A.To care for her baby B.To cure her of her heart disease
C.To help check her condition D.To offer her information on PPD
【2】After talking with her obstetrician, what did the author realize?
A.She was really suffering from PPD. B.Her obstetrician couldn't really help her.
C.She should have received training in PPD. D.Her obstetrician didn't really care about her.
【3】What's the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A.The author's cousin's suggestion to her.
B.The author's great concern about her condition.
C.The great difference between PPD and baby blues.
D.The author's family members' different reaction to her condition.
【4】What does the underlined word "rehabilitated" in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.recovered. B.succeeded. C.resigned. D.returned.
【5】What's the author's main purpose in writing the text?
A.To tell about her suffering“baby blues".
B.To express her ideas about giving birth.
C.To call for attention to postpartum depression.
D.To show the importance of family to new moms.
29、It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter.
Road politeness is not only good manners, but a good sense. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarreling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behavior of politeness is by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.
However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. A typical example is the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.
An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in a traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship (公路驾车技能). Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take (互谅互让) from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.
【1】The passage mainly talks about ________.
A. traffic jams B. good manners
C. road politeness D. modern drivers
【2】Troubles on the road are often caused by ________.
A. traffic jams
B. the behavior of the drivers
C. the great speed of modern life
D. terrible road conditions
【3】According to the writer, a good driver should ________.
A. encourage children to cross the road whenever they want to
B. beat back when forced to face rude driving
C. be able to recognize politeness when he sees it
D. join in a traffic stream quickly however other people feel
【4】It is not always right for drivers to ________.
A. master the roadmanship
B. neglect politeness when they see it
C. give a friendly nod in answer to an act of politeness
D. encourage old ladies to cross the road whenever and wherever they want to

32、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Last Sunday, I went shopping eagerly at the largest shopping mall in my town. My elder sister was accompanying me. As the important Christmas Day was just around the comer the shopping mall was crowded with people.
There were many girls and ladies who were hanging their handbags loosely over their shoulders. I also did likewise. Although my mother always advised me not to bring a handbag, or if I wanted to bring it, I must hang it carefully over my shoulder, I refused to do so. Her advice always fell on deaf ears.
As the shopping mall was having a big sale, I was absorbed entirely in looking at the goods of low prices, especially the clothes with cute little blue ribbons (丝带) which I wanted to buy for a long time. They were offered at the discount of up to 70%! This made me not keep an eye on my loosely-hanging handbag. I was also not aware that it had attracted the attention of a potential thief.
He was creeping (蹑手蹑脚地走) towards me but my eyes were fixed on the clothes and I did not see him. Suddenly, there was a pull on my shoulder. It made me lose the balance of my body and my arms hit the banger of the clothes. Consequently, I had a bad cut. Blood was streaming down from my arm.
After waking up from my shock, I let out a loud scream. “Stop him! My handbag! Thief! Thief!” I shouted in panic and then. I could not even speak a sentence properly. A man heard my cry for help and made a beeline for the escaping thief. The thief quickly ran down the staircase.
The determined man, without thinking, aimed at the thief and jumped towards the thief from the staircase. At the same time the security guards came running and lent him a helping hand. They caught the thief and took him away.
