It was the district sports meet. My foot still hadn"t healed (痊愈) from a(n) 1 injury. I had 2 whether
or not I should attend the meet. But there I was, 3 for the 3,000-meter run.
" Ready … set …" The gun popped and we were off. The other girls rushed 4 me. I felt 5 as I fell
farther and farther behind.
" Hooray!" shouted the crowd. It was the loudest 6 I had ever heard at a meet. The first-place runner
was two laps (圈) ahead of me when she crossed the finish line.
" Maybe I should 7 ," I thought as I moved on. 8 , I decided to keep going. During the last two laps, I
ran 9 and decided not to 10 in track next year. It wouldn"t be worth it, 11 my foot did heal.
When I finished, I heard a cheer- 12 than the one I"d heard earlier. I turned around and 13 , the boys were
preparing for their race." They must be cheering for the boys." I was leaving 14 several girls came up to me.
" Wow, you"ve got courage!" one of them told me.
" Courage? I just 15 a race!" I thought. " I would have given up on the first lap," said another girl." We
were cheering for you. Did you hear us?"
Suddenly I regained 16 . I decided to 17 track next year. I realized strength and courage aren"t always 18
in medals and victories, but in the 19 we overcome (战胜). The strongest people are not always the people
who win, 20 the people who don"t give up when they lose. |

| 阅读理解诶。 | My first reaction was annoyance. It was Friday afternoon, and I was within an hour of finishing my
work for the week. As I was leaving, a nurse brought me one more patient message. The statement read:"Mm.
Jones called to say that she has had blurred vision (视觉模糊) ever since her medical test this morning." I
smiled. Suddenly our tests were causing eye problems.
This week my patients had questioned everything. My patient with high blood pressure had stopped coming
to her treatment on the advice of an Internet chat room. A woman who had a mental problem was substituting ( 用......代替) St. John"s word for her medication. Now Mrs. Jones was imagining problems. I rolled my eyes.
My second reaction was worry. As I looked through her record, I tried to figure out why she would have
blurred vision, but nothing in her record explained the new problem. She" s probably just anxious, I thought.
Still, she wouldn"t have called if she had been all right. I picked up the phone.
What I next felt can only be described as delight. Before I made the call, the nurse ran in: Mrs. Jones called.
Her vision is fine. Turns out she picked up the wrong glasses when she left the office. The X-ray technician
has been having the same problem. I let out a laugh. Mrs. Jones had been right. Her vision had been blurred.
Now we know why.
Finally I felt shame. I came to realize what Mrs. Jones had taught me. I had first known she was wrong,
that her anxiety had clouded her judgment. Instead, my medical training had clouded mine. Now I feel thankful
that Mrs. Jones figured it out before I made a mistake about our relationship. Patients come to me for my help.
They pay me to listen, diagnose (诊断), treat and talk. That suggests trust; I must remember that, and trust
them too. | | 1. The writer smiled while reading the patient message because he knew _____. | A. Mrs. Jones would ask for more tests
B. the patient was being unreasonable
C. the nurse was joking with him
D. Mrs. Jones would call him | | 2. What has caused Mrs. Jones" eye problem? | A. Wrong glasses.
B. Medical checkup.
C. Her own imagination.
D. Chatting on the Internet. | | 3. The underlined words "clouded her judgment" in the last paragraph probably mean _____. | A. made her less trustful toward the doctor

as if it were yesterday:" Kerrel, I don"t want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS. Be very
careful when you are around him."
AIDS wasn"t something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew that
this would be a family secret. My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived alone. For a while, he
could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition worsened. My father"s other children lived far away,
so it fell to me to look after him.
We couldn"t afford all the necessary medication for him, and because Dad was unable to work, I had no
money for school supplies and often couldn"t even buy food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling completely
lost, the teacher"s words muffled as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage. I did not share my burden
(负担) with anyone. I had seen how people reacted to AIDS. Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with
the disease. And even adults could be cruel. When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave
his food on the bedside table even though he was too weak to feed himself.
I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret. I was
completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless. I called a woman at the nonprofit
National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so lucky to
find someone who cared. She saved my life.
I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him, having never spoken
about AIDS to anyone, even me. He didn"t want to call attention to AIDS. I do. |  | | 完形填空。 | "It was all his own idea," says Pat, the wife of California high school football coach Bob Peters. Bob

D. performing | | 阅读理解。 | That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home
at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With opening night only a week ago, I was still
learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at
the same time.
As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become
too much for me. As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began
running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers (抢劫犯). Very few people were
still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my apartment (公寓房间), I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half
expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight.
Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building
and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.
Suddenly I wasn"t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I"d heard the noise.
Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.
Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck (垃圾车) pull up to the sidewalk
next to me. When a voice called from the inside," Alisa Camacho?" I thought I was dreaming. How could
this man know my name? the door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in
his eye."Is this what you"re looking for?" he asked, holding up a small square shape.
It was nearly 3 A.M. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn"t get much sleep that night, but I had gotten
my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn"t be a bad
place as long as people were welling to help each other. | |
