解析
带着受伤的脚参加3000米跑步比赛，这注定没法取胜。可是只要你勇于参赛，坚持到底，你也会有所收获。
1、逻辑推理常识运用词义比较 又是地区运动会了，可作者的脚由于上一次的(earlier)受伤仍然还没有痊愈。注意本句中的过去完成时态及其still的意义有着明显的提示意义。slighter更轻微的；worse更遭的；earlier早的，上一次的；heavier更沉重的，巨大的。
2、逻辑推理词义比较 所以，作者不是认为(supposed)，设想(imagined)，希望(expected)参加运动会，而是怀疑(doubted)自己是否应该参加运动会。
3、逻辑推理词义比较 但是，我到了比赛场地，没有迟到(late)，但并非热切(eager)，渴望(thirsty)地准备(ready)参加3000米跑步。
4、前后照应词义比较 其他的女孩子不是落到了后面(from behind)，靠近(close to，next to)作者，而是冲到了作者的前面(ahead of)。后文as I fell farther and farther behind有所暗示。
5、逻辑推理词义比较 作者越来越落后，作者不会感到惊讶(astonished)，也激动(excited)不起来，而是感到惭愧(ashamed)，当然不至于害怕(frightened)。
6、词义辨析逻辑推理前后照应 这是作者在运动会上听到的最大声的欢呼声(cheer)。前面“Hooray!” 指欢呼的叫声也有所暗示，后文I heard a cheer—louder than the one I’d heard earlier和They must be cheering for the boys也都有明显提示。cheer愉快, 欢呼(之声)；shout一般指由于情绪过度而发出的大声的呼喊、高叫；cry一般指由于情绪激动而发出的哭泣声；noise通常指超过一般承受力的喧闹声、噪声。
7、逻辑推理词义比较 第一名已经先我两圈到达了终点。作者心想可能自己不该参加比赛，应该放弃(drop out)才对。slow down (使)慢下来, (使)减速；drop out不参与, 离去, 放弃；go on 继续下去；speed up加速。
8、词义比较逻辑推理语句连贯 然而我还是决定坚持跑下去。注意前后句子之间的转折意义。therefore因此, 所以，表示因果关系；otherwise另外, 否则，表示其它情况的出现；besides此外，还，表示附加意义；however然而，可是，表示转折关系。
9、前后照应逻辑推理 跑最后两个圈时，作者无法轻松(with delight)起来，也没有害怕恐惧(with fear)，当然也无法叫其他人提前(in advance)到达，而是在脚疼(in pain)的状态中跑着步。前文My foot still hadn’t healed from an earlier injury.已经有所提示。
10、逻辑推理词义比较 作者在想这一次已经没有办法了，明年就不参加径赛跑步了。arrive到达, 抵达；play玩，进行比赛；attend出席, 参加；race赛跑，疾走。race相当于短文中多次出现的run，再考虑到空后的具体意义的in track，故选择具体意义的race，而不选择笼统意义的play和attend。
11、语句连贯词义比较 作者想，即便是脚好了，这样跑也不值得。even if即便，即使，表示让步关系；only if只要，只有，表示条件关系；unless如果不, 除非，表示假使条件关系；until到……为止，直到……才，表示时间关系。
12、词义比较前后照应 欢呼声不是更弱(weaker)，更低(lower)，而是更大(louder)。longer缺少比较的对象或前提。
13、词义比较逻辑推理 作者转身看到男孩子正准备开始比赛，她毫不吃惊(surprisingly)地，毫不奇怪(strangely)地，充分地(well)确信(sure)大家是为男孩子欢呼。
14、词汇用法句法结构 作者正准备离开，这时几个女孩子走上前来。when 在此句中作并列连词，意思是“正在这时，就在那个时候，突然”。while作从属连词，表示“当……时候”，通常强调两个动作或情况的同时发生；as作从属连词，表示“当……时候”，通常强调一个动作或情况伴随另一动作或情况；since作从属连词，表示“自……以后, 自……以来”。
15、逻辑推理词义比较 作者对女孩的赞扬不解，因为她刚刚跑过(pass)了终点，结束(finish)了比赛，但跑在最后没有获胜(win)，而是输(lose)了比赛。
16、逻辑推理词义比较 女孩子们的鼓励使作者又找回了失去的信心(hope)，而不是欢乐(cheer)，兴趣(interest)，经验(experience)。
17、逻辑推理词义比较 作者决定明年还要 (stick with)参加径赛比赛。hold on把持住，继续, 不挂断, 停止；turn to转向，求助于, 致力于, 开始行动；begin with首先，用……开头；stick with与……固定在一起，坚持做(某事)。
18、逻辑推理词义比较 作者意识到在奖牌和胜利中，力量和勇气并非总是可以估量(measure)的。measure估量，斟酌, 权衡；praise赞扬，称赞；test测试，检验；increase增加，增大。
19、逻辑推理词义比较 但是在我们战胜了的竞争中，力量和勇气就却总是可以估量出来。sadness悲哀, 悲伤；struggles挣扎, 努力, 奋斗；diseases疾病, 弊病；tiredness疲劳, 疲倦。
20、语句连贯词义比较 最坚强的人并非总是赢得胜利的人，而是(but)那些遇到失败挫折时决不放弃的人。or或者, 还是，表示或然关系；nor也不，表示否定关系；and表示并列关系；but表示转折关系。 |

One day in September we were doing repair work on my parents’ old house to get it ready for my youngest daughter’s wedding. We had to 36 a great climbing plant that had grown 37 a roof beam（房梁），so that we could repair the roof and 38 the walls.
When my husband was taking the plant away, he found a 39 of a blackbird that had made its home in the leaves. He then 40 something 41 among that mass of earth and straw of the nest. He broke the earth around it into pieces with his finger tips and, to his 42 ,saw glittering gold. It was a child’s bracelet（手镯）. He ran into the house to 43 me.
“You won’t believe that the 44 blackbirds not only steal the best fruit we 45 to feed on,” he said,“but they also want their children to 46 in a cradle（摇摆）of gold!”
When my daughter came over on the eve of the 47 ,we told her about this 48 occurrence.
“Don’t you remember, Mother?” she said with a loud 49 .“When I was eight, you gave me a bracelet that I 50 a few days later while out playing in the yard? It was this one!”
As the bracelet no longer 51 its owner and was dirty, I decided to take it into my safekeeping.
In December of the following year, the young couple’s baby son was baptized（受洗礼）.Among the 52 the newborn baby received, I placed his mother’s bracelet, now shining like 53 . I hope that if my grandson 54 loses it, one of the 55 that live in my backyard is somewhere nearby.

One spring afternoon five years ago, Jimmy Liao was crying in the hall of Taipei’s Sherwood Hotel, Life seemed 36 . The people who laughed as they walked past were taking their 37
for granted, just as he 38 himself. Now, however, he felt 39 —and he couldn’t even show his disappointment in his 40 .
Seeking more personally satisfying 41 , he had just left a successful job as a commercial artist when it seemed that fate（命运）played a cruel 42 on him.

According to Jimmy, you are 46 you choose to be. You can give up or you can work to be a happier person. Jimmy realized that, while the world 47 seems unfair, your choice can change your life.
This idea can be 48 in Jimmy’s books, where his characters show the powerlessness they feel 49 making their choices. The message that goes with Jimmy’s drawings, however, is 50 .
Though the world may make us feel small, we must be 51 . Everything will be all right for us—as it is for the“small people”in Jimmy’s books—if we make choices that are 52 for us.

The Florida sun baked my shoulders as I worked along the I-595 freeway near Fort Lauderdale, picking up rubbish. I paused to 36 the sweat off my forehead and look up at the cloudless blue sky.“ 37 can’t it rain?” I thought. That would 38 things down.
I thought about my 39 , who were probably sitting in an air-conditioned 40 right now. I’d had some problems in school, 41 my parents decided to let me 42 full-time with my dad, We both worked for my uncle, who had taken 43 of a maintenance（道路养护）company. It was up to us to keep the roads 44 of rubbish. The job was 45 and dirty, especially on hot days 46 this. I wondered why I ever agreed to do it.
We continued our 47 route along the I-595, 48 for the overpass bridge. Then I noticed an area where some 49 were broken on the ground. It wasn’t like that before.
“Dad! Pull over! I want to 50 something out.”
I jumped off the truck and rushed to the bridge. Something was telling me to 51 …there wasn’t much time. 52 I saw a Toyota that 53 upside down in the tree. Maybe it was a stolen car that somebody 54 there, I thought. Then, just at that 55 , I noticed something moving. It was a bloody leg poking out of the driver’s side window!
“Heeeelp!”a lady moaned.

I was cleaning out an old box when an old card caught my eye : Queen City Casket Company . “What is it ?” I wondered . I 36 it over . There , in faded ink , was a hand-scrawled（手写的） 37 . Immediately my mind traveled 38 many years .
I was nine years old , walking down the cold , wet streets of Springfield , with a bag of magazines on my shoulder . On my 39 that day , I came to that Company finally , whose owner , Mr Rader , had always taken me there to ask his workers 40 they wanted any magazines .
Shaking off the 41 like a wet dog , I entered Mr Rader’s office . After a quick glance he 42 me over to the fire-place . Noticing the 43 in the top of my 44 , he said , “ Come with me !” pulling me into his pickup 45 . We pulled to a stop before a shoe store . Inside , a salesman 46 me with the finest pair of Oxfords I had 47 seen . I 48 about 10 feet tall when I got up 49 them . “ We’d like a pair of new socks too,” Mr Rader said .
Back in his office , Mr Rader took out a 50 , wrote something on it , and handed it to me . With 51 eyes , I read , “ Do to others as you would have them do to you .” He said affectionately (深情地), “Jimmy , I want you to 52 I love you”.
I said good-bye , and for the first time I 53 a flicker of hope that somehow things would be 54 . With people like Mr Rader in the world , there was hope , kindness and love , and that would always make a 55 .
