For more than 30 years, Zhu Yanjun, 50, had been a migrant worker(农民工) in different cities like many others from rural(农村的) areas.

Born in a village in Jingning county, Gansu province, Zhu only had a middle school education.

He started reading poems from the Tang Dynasty and poems written by Chairman Mao Zedong because he found them rhythmic(有韵律的) and easy to remember. Over the years, he has read thousands of poems and can recite more than 1,000 of them.

Reading poetry helps Zhu stay calm and he never complains(抱怨) about hard work. “Whenever I face any difficulty, I think of Chairman Mao’s quotation(语录): ‘Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it’,” he told China Daily.

A marathon is a long running race of 26.2 miles (42.195 kilometers). The first Olympic Marathon was held in Athens. Now, many cities host their own marathons every year. Some of the best-known marathons around the world are the New York City Marathon, the Boston Marathon and the Tokyo Marathon. Among them, the Boston Marathon which started in 1897, is the oldest yearly marathon in the world. As time goes by, the sport has become more than just a race.

Themes(主题) of marathons add fun and meaning to the hard miles. Runners run for helping sick kids, celebrating important events, or just enjoying nature. There is a famous marathon in Gisborne, New Zealand, which is known for being the first city in the world to welcome the sunlight every day. Runners can greet the sunrise as they race along the golden sandy beaches.

Marathon routes(路线) bring people more understanding of the old sport. Some routes provide great sporting challenges for runners. The routes offer all kinds of surfaces(面), from bridges to sand to hills. Runners of all skill levels can sweat(出汗) freely and push their limits(极限) in the race. Some routes are well planned for runners to explore(探索) the many sides of a city. For example, the route of the Great Wall Marathon takes the runners along the great wonder of the world. The race can be an amazing chance to get to know Beijing, its people and local food.

A marathon is quite a journey for runners to enjoy the run, challenge themselves and experience the culture. There is so much more behind the race for us to explore.

阅读下面短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项仅使用一次。

A mind map is basically(基本上) a tool that connects information around a central subject. It can help you make a knowledge bank to solve problems. A student recently said, “I thought mind mapping would take a lot of time to do but in fact it saves me time. 32. __________________”

How to make a mind map? Now follow these steps for making wonderful mind maps.

33. __________________ Why? Because starting in the center lets your brain spread out(拓展) in all directions and express itself more freely and naturally.

Use a picture for your central idea. Why? Because a picture is worth(值) a thousand words and helps you use your imagination. 34. __________________ It helps get your attention and makes you work excitedly!

Connect your main branches(分支) to the central picture and connect your second-and-third-level branches to the first and second levels, etc. Why? Because your brain works by connection. 35. __________________ If you connect the branches, you will understand and remember a lot more easily.

Use one key word every line. Why? Because every single key word can make you learn more clearly and easily.

36. __________________ Why? Because each picture, just like the central picture, is also worth a thousand words. So, if you have 10 pictures in your mind map, they are already worth 10,000 words of notes.

Try to use more colors. Why? Because colors are as exciting to your brain as pictures. Color adds great energy to your creative thinking, and is fun!

阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

At just age 16, Zhen Xin, from Beijing, finished the “Five Great Mountains Challenge” in August in only five days. She became the youngest person to do it.

“The Five Great Mountains Challenge” is about climbing China’s five greatest mountains — Taishan Mountain in Shandong, Huashan Mountain in Shaanxi, Songshan Mountain in Henan, Hengshan Mountain in Shanxi, and Hengshan Mountain in Hunan — in 100 days.  

Because of the hot August weather, Zhen did most of her hiking at night. “When you can’t see what’s coming next, many of your fears and worries go away. You’re less likely to back down,” Zhen explained.

Zhen said the key to hiking is one’s mentality(心态). Whenever she came across a vendor booth(货摊) along the hiking road, she would remind herself to carry on until the next one. And whenever she felt she was about to give up, she would reward(奖励) herself with a drink or some snacks.

Of all the mountains she climbed, Huashan Mountain was her favorite because of its steeper trails(更陡峭的小径). “They’re more dangerous than those of the other four mountains,” she said. But instead of making her afraid, the challenge improved her concentration(专注力).

Zhen decided to climb the five great mountains when she finished middle school. “I wanted something that would allow me to truly see my growth(成长) and changes over time. As I grow older, I want something to share with others,” she said.

37. How long did it take Zhen Xin to finish the “Five Great Mountains Challenge”?

38. What is the key to hiking according to Zhen Xin?

39. When did Zhen Xin decide to challenge the five great mountains?

40. What can you learn from Zhen Xin’s experience?
