Four years ago, I felt lucky after escaping one of those terrible 2-mile runs. I hated running; it was just something that 1 came easily to me. At that time, if you had told me that I would one day run a marathon, I’ d have told you honestly that I had a better 2 of winning the lottery(彩票).
The turning 3 came when I met Mrs. Green. She was fifty years old, going through chemotherapy(化学疗法)for her cancer, and still managed to run 30 miles a week. I thought that if Mrs. Green could run 6 miles at a time, I could run at least two. In February, in cold weather, I started a 2-mile 4 around my neighborhood. Two months later, I 5 the running for the first time. I felt very tired, but I felt happy.
Over the next several years, I continued to push each run for a few 6 minutes, slowly building my endurance(耐力). I didn’t need to 7 against other runners, for my most important competitor was myself.
After continuing to 8 myself, I knew it was time to step my training up. I 9 I would train for the Detroit Free Press/Flagstar Marathon.
The race day 10 came, and I was filled with excitement and worry. It was final time to see what I was made of. The 11 ended up surprisingly. I did 12 through the last few miles, but after my running, there was no doubt in my mind that I’d finished. As I 13 the finish line, I experienced the strongest sense of 14 and happiness I had ever had in my life. I am now a marathoner.
As John Bingham once said, “The miracle(奇迹)isn’t that I finished. The miracle is that I had the 15 to start.”

We are going to see the ruins of Machu Picchu in the mountains of the Andes.Machu Picchu was forgotten for centuries but discovered in 1911 by Hiram Bingham, a professor from Yale.It is said to be one of the most beautiful ancient sites in the world.
The Incas built the ancient civilization of Machu Picchu between the 12th century and the early 16th century.They spoke a language called Quechua but had no writing system at all.They kept records on various coloured strings with knots called quipu.
The Incas proved to be wonderful architects.They built most of their buildings with huge stones but without using any cement(粘结材料) to stick them together.However, the huge stones fit together so perfectly that you cannot force a sharp knife between two blocks.They also built bridges, tunnels through mountains and channels to bring water to their cities—just as the Romans did.The Incas turned the mountains into farmlands and planted corn and potatoes, and raised animals like llama and alpaca for food.
Now Machu Piccu has become a major tourist site in Peru, attracting people from all over the world.
1.How long ago was Machu Picchu discovered?
A.About 20 years ago B.About 50 years ago.
C.About 70 years ago D.About a century ago.
