My job was tofollow behind the runners in an ambulance in case any of them neededmedical attention. As the athletes began to pace themselves, the frontrunners started to disappear. It was then that my eyes were drawn to thewoman in blue running shorts and a baggy white T-shirt.I knew we were already watching our last runner. Her feet were turnedin, yet her left knee was turned out. Her legs were so crippled(跛足的)andbent that it seemed impossible for her to walk, let alone run a marathon.The driver and I watched in silence as she slowly moved forward. Wewould move forward a little bit, then stop and wait for her to gain somedistance. Then wed slowly move forward a little bit more. As I watched herstruggle to put one foot in front of the other, I found myself breathing forher and urging her forward. I wanted her to stop, and at the same time, Iprayed that she wouldnt.Finally, she was the only runner left in sight. I sat on the edge of my seatand watched with respect and amazement as she pushed forward with sheerdetermination through the last miles. When the finish line came into sight,the cheering crowds had long gone home. Yet, standing straight and proudwaited a man. He was holding one end of a ribbon tied to a post. She slowlycrossed through, leaving both ends of the ribbon fluttering behind her.I dont know this womans name, but that day she became a part of mylife-a part I often depend on. For her, it wasnt about beating the otherrunners or winning a prize. It was about finishing what she had set out to do.When I think things are too difficult or I get those I-just-cant-do-it, I thinkof the last runner. Then I realize bow easy the task before me really is.21. What words can best describe the woman?A. Proud and determined.B. Modest and courageous.C. Diligent and considerate.D.

A Crippled WomanBA strong network of friends and family has long been seen as a keycomponent of happiness, but a new study suggests friends may be moreimportant than family.Researchers at Michigan State University also found the importance offriendship on health and happiness grows as people get older. Friendshipsbecome even more important as we age, said William Chopik, assistantprofessor of psychology at MSU. Keeping a few really good friends aroundcan make a world of difference for our health and well-being. So its smart toinvest(投资)in the friendships that make you happiest.To reach their conclusions, the researchers looked at just over 271,000participants in a health and happiness survey as well as nearly 7,500participants in a survey about relationship support in older adultssuffering chronic (慢性的)illness.In the first group, both family and friendships were influential in overallhealth and happiness, but in the second group, friendships became astronger predictor of health and happiness at advanced ages. Furthermore,in the second group, researchers said strained friendships led to increasedchronic illness, but with supportive friends, respondents reported beinghappier.One reason, according to Chopik, is that relationships are optionalbecause we can maintain them with people who make us feel good and stayaway from those who dont. Family, on the other hand, is not normallyoptional and while often enjoyable, can also involve negative feelings.Friendships help shelter us from loneliness, but are often harder tomaintain across the life span, he added. If a friendship has survived thetest of time, you know it must be a good one, a person you turn to for helpand advice often and a person you want in your life.24. What can we learn from the latest study?A. Family has little influence on peoples well-being.B. Family and friendships are equally important to people.C. All kinds of friendships contribute to peoples well-being.D. Friendships gain increasing importance as people grow older.25. Whats the probable meaning of the underlined word strained inparagraph 4?A. Stressful.B. Healthy.C. Meaningless.D. Lasting.26. Which of the following statements would Chopik agree with?A. People should invest in friendships in their own interest.B. Friendships should be made the best of to peoples own taste.C. People can choose friendships and stay away from unhealthy ones.D. Friendships are easy to keep and can survive the test of the time.CThe Arctic Circle hit 32 degrees Celsius last week. This was thetemperature in Banak, Norway on July 30, though some Norwegian areaseven reached a couple degrees warmer, according to the Europeanmeteorology site severe-weather. eu.ThegreaterNorthernHemisphereandEuropeitselfhavebeenrepeatedly scorched(炙烤)by both record and near-record temperatures thissummer, a consequence of overall rising global temperatures. A photo ofwhat appears to be Scandinavian folks taking a din in a river while thecold-adapted reindeer (驯鹿)cooled off in the water beside them is perhapsthe best example of just how hot it is in parts of the Arctic Circle right now.The warm season in Banak is short, lasting around three months, butthe very warmest day of the year, around July 23, is usually around 62degrees Fahrenheit-about 30 degrees cooler than temperatures there now.All-time temperature records were set in both Norway and Finland on 7uly30, including 86 degrees Fahrenheit in Verde, near Banak.Persistent heat and dryness this summer have transformed normallyverdant(青葱的)European countries into brown and yellow lands, and thecontinents extreme heat is expected to continue. It is forecasted thattemperatures might break Europes all-time heat record of 118.4 degreesFahrenheit, 48 degrees Celsius, by the end of next week. Meanwhile, acrossthe planet, extreme heat has enhanced wildfire activity in the western partof the United States.According to a 2020 NASA study, if global warming continues, the arcticsea ice could disappear completely by around 2040, leaving polar bears tobe seen only in places like aquariums. Andrew Derocher, a professor at theUniversity of Alberta who studies polar bears, said, Climate change isshrinking the ice bears usually hunt on, forcing them to spend more time onland closer to humans.

Most birds are insect eaters and arentattracted to backyard feeders. For those birds, I recommend planting62(nature) habitat and native plants, Kress said. Besides, birds who do eatseed will be more likely to come to feeders
