Patti discovered the meaning of running when she was 23. At that time she was smoking two packs of cigarettes a day and had 36 over 50 pounds. “I decided to 37 ,” she says. She took a clock and started 38 what she did every day, and then she 39 an hour a day as a “be nice to Patti” hour. “I started having bubble（泡沫）baths with a candle 40 , because Cosmopolitan Magazine 41 that this would be good for me. But I got 42 of that soon,” Patti remembers. She wanted to do something really pleasant. She found that the 43 times in her life were times when she was physically active. So she took up 44 .
She decided to start 45 the next day. She ran for an hour, 46 a total of 7 miles on her first run. “I couldn’t walk for 2 weeks 47 I felt painful all over!” Patti recalls. “But I felt so wonderful!” Patti wasn’t crazy about running yet, but she was in 48 with the after effects of it.
Within seven months, Patti had run her first marathon, qualified for the Boston Marathon, and placed 25th in the world for 49 distance runners. Over the next years, she 50 records and set standards for women in the sport. She was the first American woman to run a marathon 51 than 2 hours 30 minutes, and then broke another two records 52 an 8-month period.
Patti believes that, if we can 53 standards for ourselves, we can pull ourselves out of the most difficult 54 and come out on top. “Everybody has to be a/an 55 and everybody has that in them.”

As far back as I can remember, I’ve always known that my brother was different. At first I thought this was a 31 thing. But when I got older I learned the truth. My brother had autism (孤独症) and Attention Deficit Disorder (儿童多动症) — serious 32 conditions. At 15, he 33 like a 7-year-old child. When he was little, I didn’t 34 it as much. But as he got older, it became more obvious. When something didn’t go his 35 , he got angry and it took hours to 36 him down. He would talk to himself and play with string. We could never 37 to give him his medicine, otherwise he’d go wild. I was always 38 when we took him anywhere, and I never wanted to bring any of my friends 39 with me.
When I was 10, I felt like I couldn’t 40 it any more. I’d shout at him for being different and would ask 41 he couldn’t be normal. Of course, he had no 42 what I was talking about. It became very hard, 43 when a friend of mine didn’t want to come over 44 her mom had said my brother was dangerous. Our fights 45 up until one day he came up to me. He gave me a big 46 , like he was saying, “I don’t know what I did 47 , but I hope you still love me.” At that moment I realized that I’d better learn to 48 him.
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned how 49 I really am. Having him as a brother has made me kinder and more patient. No matter how busy my 50 is, he’ll always listen to my problems. I worry about his future, but I know he’ll always be loved.

My bike was a three-speed English “racer”, purchased during my second year in college in November 1964 for $44. Most of the money was earned by myself in my spare time, but I had to get my mother to help me out a little. At that time, bikes were rare on a college campus. My reason for getting a bicycle was a little strange. A friend of mine convinced me to take a summer job selling door-to-door and suggested that I should use a bicycle to travel between houses. The job didn’t work out, but the idea was in my brain.
That fall, I borrowed another student’s bike and rode 45 miles on the first day, but his bike soon had a flat(瘪了的轮胎) which he didn’t like fixing. So I had to buy one. I immediately started using mine almost every day. Before getting the bike, I sometimes walked 28 miles to my parents’ house. Now the bike gave me a quicker method, but my first trip took four hours due to strong headwinds that had me fight for every foot. Once I made a trip of 100 miles in one day. I decided to use the bike to go camping in the Smokies. During the trip, I recognized the need for handlebars and more gears, so I bought a ten-speed after just one year though I loved this bike.
The first bike “hung around” for a couple of years, and then I gave it to my sister’s kids who let it become part of their lives.

小题3:The underlined phrase “the idea” in the first paragraph refers to “____”.| A．selling door-to-door | | B．buying a bike of his own | | C．borrowing a bike from others | | D．earning money by working |
小题4:According to the passage, we can learn that the first bike was ____ for him.| A．unnecessary | B．very useful | | C．a lifelong tool | D．too troublesome |

For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping watching TV and buying things by phone. (66) In a number of Europe countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, jewelry, food, toys, and many other things.
(67) For example, the biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 Europe countries, and in one year it made $100 million. In France there are two teleshopping channels, and the French spend about $20 million a year to buy things through those channels.
In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for telebusiness, including the largest American teleshopping company and a 24-hour teleshopping company. (68)
Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason, but at the same time, other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. (69) Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them, and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV.
(70) They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.| A．Now teleshopping is starting in European | | B．They call teleshopping “ Junk on the air” | | C．Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden | | D．German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things |
E. The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies.
F. Teleshopping is popular among people.
