The yearly Marathon (马拉松) in my town usually happened during a heat wave. My job was to
follow behind _1_ in an ambulance (救护车) in case any of them needed medical attention.
"We"re supposed to stay behind the last runner, so drive it _2_ ," I said to the driver, Doug
, as
the race started.
The front-runners started to _3_ and then my eyes were drawn to the woman _4_ blue silk
running shorts and a white T-shirt.
We knew we were already watching our "last runner." Her _5_ were so crippled (残疾的) that
it seemed almost impossible for her to be able to walk, let alone run a marathon.
Doug and I _6_ in silence when she slowly moved forward. Finally, she was _7_ runner left
in sight. Tears streamed down my face when I watched with respect as she pushed forward with great
determination through the last miles.
When the finishing line came into sight, rubbish was everywhere and the _8_ crowds had long
gone home. __9_ , standing straight and ever so proud stood a lone man. He was holding one _10
of a ribbon (缎带)of crepe paper (皱纹纸) tied to a post (标杆). She slowly crossed through, leaving
_11_ ends of the paper fluttering (飘扬) behind her.

on. For her, it wasn"t about 13_ the other runners or winning a prize, but about finishing _14_ she
had set out to do, no matter what. When I think things are too difficult or I get those "I-just-can"t-do-it,"
I think of the last runner. Then I realize how _15_ the task before me really is.
