The marathon (马拉松) is a long­distance race with a distance of 26 miles. The origin of this event began with a battle in 490 B. C.

The battle was fought by the Persians (波斯人) and the Athenians (雅典人) at Marathon not far from Athens, and the Athenians finally won the battle. To let the people in their hometown know the good news of the victory as soon as possible, General Miltiades sent a soldier named Pheidippides back to report.

Pheidippides is a famous “Scud (飞毛腿)”. In order to let his hometown know the good news, he ran fast. When he ran to Athens, he was out of breath and cried out excitedly, “Have… fun, Athenians, we… have… won！” and then he fell to the ground and died.

In memory of this event, the marathon race was set up in the first modern Olympic Games held in 1896. The distance Pheidippides ran was about 22 miles. Marathon was originally a place name in Greece.

Volunteers are probably some of the most overlooked(被忽视的) people. But no activities can carry on smoothly without hard­working volunteers. Last month, I volunteered at the Colour Run in Melbourne, Australia.

Although I did not have so much fun as the runners, I still learned a valuable lesson.

My job was to give high five(击掌庆贺) to every runner at the finish line. At the beginning, I saw it as a simple task. When the first runner passed, I reached out my hand and shouted“Good job！” excitedly. However, as more and more runners crossed the finish line and touched my hands with theirs, my arms got sore(酸痛的). To make things worse, it became hotter. My clothes were wet because of the sweat(汗水), and I felt really tired. But soon I saw a group of children running towards me. They were about 6 years old. Although they could hardly catch their breath, they still kept running with big smiles on their faces. They waved their hands and said loudly, “High five！”

At that moment, I was quite touched. They were so young, and they refused to give up, while I was just complaining about the tiring work. I felt I was refreshed by them. I clapped their hands, “Well done, little guys！”

That is the meaning of being a volunteer. It is never an easy job. However, we may meet different people and see the spirit that supports them. Although such a spirit is not often found in daily life, it can encourage us a lot when we see it by accident.

63. What was the writer's job at the Colour Run in Melbourne?

A. She ran beside the runners.

B. She gave high five to the runners.

C. She offered water to the runners.

D. She led the runners to the finish line.

64. At the very beginning, the writer thought her job was____.

A. easy   B. tiring   C. funny   D. boring

65. The writer was touched because ____.

A. she saw so many runners cross the finish line

B. her clothes were wet because of the hot weather

C. some children refused to give up running

D. all the runners gave her high five

66. What is the best title for this passage?

A. Volunteers and their special stories

B. The meaning of being a volunteer

C. A valuable lesson about running

D. Different volunteers from all over the world

D

十、Dear Tony,

I'm glad to hear that you are coming to Hefei during the winter vacation! Now it is cold. Sometimes it snows. You can bring some warm clothes. The Spring Festival is the most important festival in China. There are some special traditions for you to follow. Try not to break anything. And don't clean your room on the first day. When you visit a Chinese family, it's a good idea to bring a small gift. Usually our Chinese people will give you a present in return. You'd better accept it with both hands. Remember to open it later. I hope this helps you enjoy your stay in Hefei.

Yours,

Li Hua
