Ⅰ. 閱讀理解

You can’t imagine how terrible I felt at that time. A month before my first

marathon, one of my ankles was injured and that 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 mylf 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 mylf.

Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋帶)became untied. So

I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!

At mile 3, I pasd 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 cour walking a bit and then running again.

By mile 21, I was starving!

2

As I approached mile 23, I could e my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest

fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a. m. or questioned my expens

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 mylf, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗標(biāo)簽), I can now

call mylf a “marathon winner”.

【文章大意】這是一篇夾敘夾議的文章。文章作者通過(guò)自己參加馬拉松的親身經(jīng)歷, 說(shuō)明成
