When I was a teenager I volunteered to work at the water station at a 10,000 m race.      My  36 was to pass out water to the runners. I remember being so excited to see all the different kinds of    37  who passed by and   38 a cup of water. The next year I signed up for the   39  and gave it a shot.
The first 10,000 m race was quite an experience. I jogged, I walked, I jogged and I walked. At times, I didn’t   40  if I could finish.
At one point near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me very   41  , and I felt embarrassed that I was 50 years younger than him and I couldn’t even keep up with him. I felt      42  for a second.
But then I   43   something. He was running his race and I was running mine. He had   44  capacities, experience, training and goals for himself. I had mine. Remember my   45   was only to finish.
After a minute, it   46 me that this was a lesson I could draw from . I learned  47 about myself in that moment. I turned my   48  into inspiration.
I decided that I would not   49 running races. In fact, I would run even more races and I would learn how to train and  50 properly and one day I would be one of those 70-year-olds who were still running. As I   51 the finishing line, I was proud  52 my accomplishment.
In life we all have those moments when we  53 ourselves to others. It’s only   54 . Don’ allow those moments to weaken you. Turn them into   55  and let them inspire you. Use them to show you what is possible.

举一反三
Betty Skelton was often called “The First Lady of Firsts’’ because of the many records she set. She grew up in Pensacola, Florida, watching airplanes flying to and from a nearby navy base. As a child, she persuaded her parents to let her take flying lessons. By 12, Betty made her first flight alone, though not legally permitted to do so until she turned 16.
During the 1940s, female pilots were mostly prevented from commercial and military flying. So Betty Skelton decided to use her flight skills in aerobatics(特技飞行),performing difficult turns, drops, and other exercises. She began performing and competing around the country.
She won the International Feminine Aerobatic Championship(IFAC)for three years in a row, starting in 1948. She and her little Pitts Special plane the “Little Stinker’’ became famous.
Dorothy Cochrane is an aviation expert who once studied and worked with Betty Skelton. “Betty was such a wonderful aerobatic pilot that she really set the bar high for other women to follow and she was a great role model for them. She really was as good as some of the men.”
Once Ms. Skelton had made her mark on flying, she moved on to racecars, becoming the first female test driver in the racecar industry. She set several land speed records. She also set a cross-country record, driving from New York to California in under 57 hours. And she became one of the top women advertising experts working with General Motors in support of the company’s Corvette car.
Ms. Skelton died in August, 2011, at the age of 85. Visitors to the Washington area can see her “little Stinker” plane at the National Air and Space Museum’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia. The small red and white plane hangs high in the air above the entrance to the museum.

It’s parents’ worst nightmare. Their child doesn’t come home one evening and is missing for several days.    
When a 14-year-old boy from Atlanta, Georgia disappeared earlier this year, his mother turned to her Smartphone for clues using an app(应用程序) called Family Tracker that helped track his location.
“You can see where your loved ones are without having to call or bother them. ”said Roberto Franceschetti of LogSat, the creators of the Family Tracker, which has more than 100,000 users and is available worldwide.    
Parents can track the location of their child on a map, send messages, and even sound an alarm on the phone in a long distance.
“We have an option for the sender to make a very unpleasant, noisy sound. It’s a loud alarm and we repeat that sound every two minutes until the person picks it up, ”he said.
Parents don’t need to own a Smartphone to track their children. The service is also accessible through the web, as long as the phone that is being tracked is running the app.
Family Tracker has an additional service that keeps records of all data from the app for a two-week period, which the company calls GPS breadcrumbs.
“With a subscription(预定), we keep all the locations where people have been on our servers. You can see where your kid has been for the past two weeks. You can find out where someone was at a certain time or when that person was at a specific place, ”Franceschetti explained.
“When somebody gets abducted(劫持), usually whoever does this throws the phone away or takes the battery out. We were hoping that our app would at least provide information on where the person was abducted or where they had been in the past. ”
But will these types of apps let out personal secrets?
“The advantages are huge compared to the disadvantages. Let’s not forget that the person always has to give initial permission—no one can be tracked unless they allow someone to do it. ”said Franceschetti.
小题1:According to the passage, all of the following about “Family Tracker” are true EXCEPT that __________.
A.it can help parents know where their children are
B.all parents don’t need to own a Smartphone to track children
C.parents can use all the services of the app for free
D.it has little to do with letting out personal secrets
小题2:What can we infer from the passage?
A.The app will enjoy a great popularity in the future.
B.The loss of children won’t be a nightmare for parents any more.
C.The app will repeat the loud alarm continuously whenever parents track children.
D.The app can keep records of information for more than half a month.
小题3:Which belong to the functions of the new app?
a. track location      b. detect criminals   c. send messages
d. protect privacy     e. send remote alarm   f. record information
A.a, b, c, eB.a, c, e, fC.a, c, d, eD.a, d, e, f

One cold rainy evening last October, as a medical student, I was in a hospital, gathering data
for my graduation paper.
Holding a patient questionnaire   34  some simple yes-or-no questions, I walked towards a 43-year-old patient who lay in bed alone. I was worried whether she would approve of my demands at such a late hour.   35 , she treated it with consideration. Soon I finished and prepared to leave.   36  I could stand up, she spoke up in a weak voice asking where I was from and why I was working so late in the evening.
Then she started talking about herself as well as her   37 , "My husband died about a year ago,   38  me the only breadwinner of my family. My pay as a cleaner is   39  enough for me and my three kids. I don"t know what my children would be if something bad happened to me."
I didn"t know what to say. I desperately tried to remember the lessons from a communication skills class I had taken years earlier, but my mind was  40.
Without realizing it, I had begun   41  her hand. Now that I didn"t have anything to say, I just sat quietly while she talked. That"s when it occurred to me that she was not expecting any 42 from me. She   43  wanted me to listen. All 1 did was nod my head as a way of showing my 44.
The conversation went on for about 20 minutes. Finally, she stopped talking. "I"m very sorry for keeping you here to listen to my problems, but I feel   45  now. I had no one to   46 out my problems to. Thank you so much, doctor."
Sometimes patients do not need expensive medicine or advanced technology.   47 , they just need someone with the   48  to lend an ear and spare a little of their time. For me, that is one of the best things a doctor can do for a patient, doesn"t it?

I had the meanest mother in the world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast,I had to have cereal,eggs and toast. Others had cokes and candy for lunch,while we had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess,my supper was different than the other kids’. But at least I was not alone in my suffering. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.
My mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing. We had to wear clean clothes every day. Other kids always wore their clothes for days. We reached the height of disgrace because she made our clothes herself,just to save money.
The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by 9:00 each night and up at 7:45 the next morning. So while my friends slept,my mother actually had the courage to break Child Labor Law. She made us work. I believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us. Through the years,our friends’ report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing,red for failing. My mother, however,would merely be content with black marks. None of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout.
She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. Using this as a background,I’m now trying to bring up my three children. I’m filled with pride when my children think I am mean because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world.
