on two people. Mark, the favorite for the gold medal, and Jim, a new face to all.
     Mark had won a lot of competitions in 3000 meters and was thought to be the finest runner in the country.
Until a few months before, Jim was almost unknown outside his hometown. But he had won one competition
after another, which was a big surprise. Many people thought Jim would also do very well this time. It was
going to be an exciting race.
     Bang! The race started. For the first half, Jim ran with Mark in the leading group. At 1700 meters, Jim
was about one meter behind Mark. Suddenly, the crowd stopped cheering. Mark fell and lay on the grass. He
tried to get up, but his hand had been injured and was out of the race.
     The crowd believed that Jim had tripped (绊倒) Mark and they began to shout at him. Jim looked back
and slowed down. Then _____. But the race was over for Jim, too. He was far behind others now. Jim was
very unhappy because of what had happened.

wrong. Jim went to see Mark and said,"I"m sorry for..." "It"s not your fault. I got injured myself in the leg.
Such a thing never happens to me. I"ve got to see the doctor."

     When I was a girl of 10, I joined the school cross-country team and practiced twice a week, on the
1,8-km course I"d never really run before and I thought the course would be easy. It was a real shock I ran
out of breathe (喘气) within the first few minutes. I never realized how tiring running could be but I didn"t
think about give up.   
     Over time, I did get a little bit faster. However, I was really slow. In races, I would finish close to last.
I"d always have to stop more than once, especially in the longer races, which were 2. 5 to 2. 8 km. After
every race, I"d go home and cry. But 1 still didn"t stop running, holding onto that picture of crossing the
finishing line and finally doing well.
     Then one of my friends joined the team, too. She could run easily and even came in the 18th in a big race!
I felt so slow and my confidence (自信) was lower than ever. I became so nervous when I thought of the
races that I wanted to give up badly.
     Still. I refund to. Finally. I realized that the reason I was to nervous was that I was always worried that
I wasn"t ready for them. So a few weeks before the next 2. 8-km race. I practiced running almost 3 km every
day. which helped me improve my pace (步伐).
     When the time came for the big race, all that practicing really paid off. I stopped only once and my pace
was so much better.
     I realized that I"d finally gotten happiness with running. But the funny thing was. It didn"t come from
doing better, Instead, it came from the fact that I hid tried harder and never given up.
1. Before she took the 1.8-km course, the writer ________.
A. knew a lot about it
B. wanted to be a great runner
C. practiced running every day
D. never thought running so tired
2. The writer was nervous about the race because she _______.
A. had to stop to drink water
B. was worried she wasn"t ready
C. run slower than anyone else
D. could find no coach to help her
3. The underlined phrase "paid off" probably mean "______".
A. brought good results
B. coat a lot
C. saved much time
D. came to fail
4. It can be inferred (推断) from the passage that the writer ______.
A. got angry with her friend
B. wasn"t pleased with herself
C. was a person with a strong mind
D. had no Interest In running
