3 . Do you like running enough to make it a habit? Temey Wolfgram does; she has made running a lifelong career and isn’t stopping.

In February, the 16-year-old from Woodbury High School, Minnesota, US, competed at the 2020 US Olympic Trials. She finished the marathon (42,J95 km) with a tune of 2:42:47 as the youngest competitor in the race and ranked 76th out of 390 runners.

Then, in November, Wolfgram, who turned 17, broke the Women's American Junior marathon record with her time of 2:31:49. The old record was 2:34:32, which had stood since 1984. During the run, Wolfgram once hit a wall pretty hard, but she overcame it to finish. ^“I guess I can say I gave it my all,” she told Runner's World. “When I finished, all I was thinking was that I was super happy,” Wolfgram said.

This was only her third marathon. In 2018, when Wolfgram was 15 years old, she ran her first marathon just because she wanted to see if she was capable of doing it. “I believed that I would get faster as the distances got longer... and I'm still glad that I did it.”

When preparing for that first marathon, she ran up to 120 miles （about 190 kilometers） per week. Although her parents didn't have any background in running, they helped Wolfgram train. At first, her dad would take her out in the morning and run about 13 miles. The distance would gradually increase each day. On top of her runs in the morning, she would do cross-country practice after school.

Next, Wolfgram will think about attending the Olympic Games in 2024 after it's scheduled.

1. In which race has Wolfgram broken a record?

A．The 2020 US Olympic Trials.	B．The 2020 Women’s American Junior marathon.
C．Her first marathon in 2018.	D．The 2024 Olympic Games.

2. What does the underlined phrase "hit a wall" in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．To knock one's head against a wall.	B．To be disappointed.
C．To go smoothly.	D．To be very tired.

3. What inspired Wolfgram to run her first marathon?

A．Her coach's support.	B．Her parents, encouragement
C．Her desire to prove she could do it	D．Her hope to break the national record.

4. Which word best describes Wolfgram?

A．Outgoing.

B．Determined.

C．Honest

D．Smart.

9 . I come from a broken family. After we grew up， my sister and I could go years without speaking. And that is where this story begins.

My sister Jeanne and I were born only 14 months apart， but by the time we were teenagers we had lost touch. By age 19， I had moved away from our home in Wisconsin to live on my father’ s horse farm in Virginia. Jeanne got married at 18， moved to Chicago， and I didn’ t know what. We lived separate lives in separate states， and our connection somehow ended.

Fast － forward about five years. I was 24 and on a trip with my fiancé （未婚夫） to New York City，a place I had never been. During a day of sightseeing， we were crossing a very busy street loaded with people. Everyone was in a hurry. I had laughed at something my fiancé said， and I suddenly heard my name yelled from somewhere behind me： “ Cheryl！ ” I froze in my steps in the middle of the road. Tears welled up in my eyes. I knew without a doubt that it was my sister Jeanne. I yelled back before even turning to look. “ Jeanne？ ”

It was her. I began pushing people out of my way to get to her. The crowd started to part—even by New York standards， we must have seemed crazy. And there we were， standing in the middle of a Manhattan street， facing each other and smiling. I couldn’ t believe it.

I later asked how she’ d known it was me—she never saw me！ She said it was my laugh. I wouldn’ tsay my laugh is all that unusual， but I guess to a family member it’ s infectious（有感染力的） . It hits your heart and goes deep in your mind.

Since that time， my sister and I have never been separated. We both moved back to Wisconsin. Wetalk daily. Many years have passed， and we are now in our 50s. I truly believe God played a huge part in bringing us together. But our meeting by chance wasn’ t just a sign. I see it as more of a lesson， a reminder not to lose touch with loved ones. It is too easy to remain lost. After our sister － to － sister miracle（奇迹） ， I don’ t plan to let that happen again.

10 . My nephew came for a visit one hot,July weekend. I persuaded him to stay inside by joining him in a Nintendo game. After being mercilessly defeated by a more experienced player,I suggested that we relax for a while. He slipped out of the room and I caught a few moments of peace and quiet.

"Look,Alice," he said enthusiastically as he ran over to the chair where I was recovering." I found a kite. Could we go outside and fly it?"

Glancing out of a nearby window,I noticed there was not a breeze(微风). "T' m sorry, Tripper," I said, sad to see his disappointed eyes, but thankful for the short period of rest from more activities. "The wind is not blowing today.The kite won't fly."

The determined 10-year-old replied. "I think it's windy enough.I can get it to fly," he answered,as he hurried out through the back door.I peeked(窥视)through the curtains to watch determination in action.Up and down the yard he ran, pulling the kite attached to a small length of string.The plastic kite, proudly displaying a picture of Batman, remained about shoulder level. He ran back and forth, as hard as his ten-year-old legs would carry him, looking back hopefully at the kite trailing behind. After about ten minutes of unsuccessful determination, he came back in.

I asked, "How did it go?" "Fine, "he said," I got it to fly some." As he walked past me to return the kite to the closet shelf, I heard him say under his breath, "I guess I'll have to wait for the wind.”

At that moment I heard another voice speak to my heart. "Alice, sometimes you are just like that. You want to do it your way instead of waiting for the wind." And the voice was right. We usually want to use our own efforts to accomplish what we want to do. We wait for the wind only after we have done all we can and have exhausted our own strength. We must learn how to rely on Him in the first place!

1. Why did the writer refuse to fly the kite with his nephew that day?

A．Because he preferred to relax himself.

B．Because he was not good at flying kites.

C．Because he wanted to stay peaceful and quiet.

D．Because he found the weather was not suitable.

C．Tripper was hesitant to try it again.

D．Tripper lost interest in flying the kite.

3. Which words can best describe Tripper?

A．Naughty and active.

B．Determined and insistent.

C．Brave and bright.

D．Weak and sensitive.

4. What is the best title for the text?

A．Fly a Kite in Life

B．Try Your Best

C．Wait for the Wind

D．Determine to Succeed
