9 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I used to hate running. It seemed too hard, and pushing outside my comfort zone was not something I was raised to do.

In fact, I wouldn't have become a runner if it weren't for my husband Charles. He had been a serious competitive runner for many years. But several years ago, he quitted running for some reason. After our marriage, he wouldn't stop talking about how much he missed it.

"So start running again, why don't you?" I was getting tired of hearing about it.

So he picked it up again, and after a year or so, I started to join him at the track. Just a few weeks later, Charles signed us both up for a five-kilometer race in my city. I hesitated about doing it. After all, it was too soon.

But on the race day, there I was. As soon as the gun went off, thousands of runners pushed forward.

The first kilometer was too tough for me.

"I don't think I'm going to make it." I was already breathing heavily and painfully aware of the group of runners pounding past me.

"No, you're doing great", said Charles. He was trying to encourage me, to get me focused on something other than my discomfort.

"I can't," I said, in a weak voice.

He tried a different way to persuade me. "Just make it to that house and let's see how you feel." I had to continue, sweating all over.

After another minute I saw the three-kilometer mark. All I could think of was that I was dying and that my husband was torturing (折磨)me.

Miserable doesn't even begin to describe how I felt. And there was pain, so much pain that I was on the verge of breakdown.

"You'll be fine. You've got less than a kilometer to go," Charles shouted loudly.

10 . In a city where tall buildings can make one feel closed in, Bryant Park offers open space for citizens and tourists to relax. In a tiny section of the park, a close community comes together at The Tables. These free outdoor ping pong tables attract individuals (个体) who share a love of the sport. People of various ages，backgrounds and skill levels became friends first, then the family.

The Tables are available to the public beginning at 11 a. m. with paddles and balls provided by the park. Regulars start to show up around 4 p. m. with their own paddles in hand, ready to dominate (主导). Matches become more competitive—doubles on one table and singles on the other—and winners are able to stay on a table until they are defeated. Those waiting their turn can be seen practicing on the sidelines，eagerly watching the game or joyfully greeting returning friends.

Deeper than the healthy competition and love for the sport is a sense of belonging and inter-generational friendship and trust among the regular players. They come to have fun, connect, relieve stress and “feel alive”. What began as a marketing tool for a local ping pong center unexpectedly grew into the community it is today.

Inspired by the diversity of players and the community they developed, Jon Bunning made a documentary called The Tables to share their story. “I just found it really fascinating that a homeless person could play as equals with a successful Wall Street banker,” says Bunning. “That's one thing I think all, humans share. We all want to belong to something, or have a place to feel like you fit in and belong there.”

1. What attracts people to come together at The Tables?

A．The desire of finding families.

B．The same affection for ping pong.

C．The ambition of winning the championship.

D．The willingness to sell copies of The Tables.

2. What's paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．The punishments for losing the game.

B．The qualifications for the competitions.

C．The management and operation of the park.

D．The routine of playing ping pong at The Tables.

3. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?

A．The homeless differ little from Wall Street hankers.

B．The Tables developed the economy of the community.

C．A sense of belonging, proves more attractive to regular players.

D．A local ping, pong center purposely turned the players into a community.

4. Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Sports Without Borders	B．Love for Sports Matters Most
C．Communities' Free Sports Service	D．Sports Promote Healthy Competition
