Jacky Hunt­Broersma, who lost one leg to cancer, is seeking to break a world record by completing 102 marathon runs. She set her goal in mid­January. And since then, she has been running the distance of a marathon. Most of the time, she averages just over five hours to complete a run. If she keeps successfully completing marathon runs every day, she will reach her goal by April 28.

Until five years ago, she was not very active. But then she looked into running and decided to give it a try. The sport ended up being quite costly. Currently, she runs on an artificial leg made of a strong, light material known as carbon fiber. The material, which is designed specially for running, costs about $10，000.

But Jacky says her investment has been well worth it. The biggest struggle used to be that she had to admit part of her body was gone. “Running really changed my life，” she said. “It helped me accept myself as an amputee(截肢者). It gave me a sense of freedom. I fell in love with the process of pushing my body further just to see what I could do.”

However, she has faced both physical and mental difficulties during her record­breaking attempt. On one recent day, Jacky said she felt like giving up at 24 kilometers and began to cry. “I had a total emotional breakdown. I was like, ‘I just can't do this.’” she said.

Jacky is documenting her progress online and has also gained a large social media following. As she nears the end of her goal, Jacky is hoping to inspire a single thought in others. She tells people, “You're stronger than you think and you're able to do so much more.”

(　　) 4. What is Jacky's goal according to Paragraph 1?

A. To defeat a deadly disease.     B. To break her 5­hour record.

C. To be a professional runner.    D. To finish 102 marathon runs.

(　　) 5. What may Jacky think of her running?

A. Difficult but rewarding.       B. Interesting but challenging.

C. Enjoyable and eye­opening.    D. Stressful and time­consuming.

(　　) 6. Why does Jacky record her running online?

A. To prove her ability.          B. To encourage others.

C. To gain wider attention.       D. To increase her confidence.

(　　) 7. Which of the following best describes Jacky's experience?
