But a general respnsibility fr game rganizing made me bliged t agree. In the weeks t cme, I managed t re-enter t h wrld f the living. I chked ur team's website daily. Feeling prud each time a dnatin added t ur ttal. I knew my mm wuld have wanted it that way. She was the type wh never gt defeated. It was this very spirit that helped me get by.
When the race ended, I nticed the runners all had ne thing in cmmn: There were big smiles n their faces. They made it lk s rewarding and effrtless. I wanted in,
Therefre, I enrlled in anther race tw mnths later. Cnsidering I culd barely run a mile, it was ambitius. But my friend and I made a training plan s I wuldn't cme in last. I fllwed it religiusly and didn't let anything gt in my way.
Running up and dwn the city's hills, I was flded with memries. I had lived there after cllege and my mther had visited ften. I passed Blmingdale's, recalling the time she and I had gtten int a screaming argument there.
I was abut t beat myself up when I remembered what Mm had said after her diagnsis(诊断) f cancer. “I dn't want yu t feel guilty abut anything.” Her paper-thin hands had held me tightly. A wright lifted frm my shulders.
When the race day arrived, I gave it my all fr my mm and fr all she had taught me and cntinued t teach mc. As I ran, whenever I felt like slwing dwn, I pictured her cheering me n.
Crssing the finish line, I was filled with her lve and a sense f peace.

After finishing a meal at an American Chinese restaurant yu prbably expect t receive a handful f frtune ckies after yu pay the bill. Frtune ckies are in Chinese restaurants thrughut the United States. It's rather satisfying t crack pen a ckie at the end f yur meal and read yur “lucky frtune” n the piece f paper inside.
The exact rigin f the frtune ckie is unknwn. It is thught that the tasty snack was first intrduced int San Francisc in 1914, after an immigrant began giving ut the ckie with “thank yu” ntes in them. These “thank yu” ntes were intended as symbls f appreciatin fr friends wh std with him thrugh the ecnmic hardship and discriminatin(歧视) f his early life in America.
There is anther rigin stry. Ls Angls is regarded as the site f the frtune ckie's inventin. In this versin f the stry、David Jung, a Chinese immigrant living in L. A., is thught t have created the ckie in rder t uplift the spirits f the pr and hmeless I1918、Jung handed ut the ckies fr free t the pr utside his shp and each ckie cntained a strip f paper with an inspiratinal sentence printed n it.
Frtune ckies first began t gain ppularity in mainstream American culture during WWII. Chinese restaurants wuld serve them in place f desserts, as desserts were nt ppular in traditinal Chinese fd. Tday frtune ckies are nt tied t Chinese-American culture. In fact, the largest frtune ckie prducer is lcated in the United States and it prduces 4.5millin frtune ckies a day an evidence t the mdern-day ppularity f the snack. Hwever, an attempt t intrduce the frtune ckie t China in 1992 was a failure, and the ckie was cited fr being “t American.”
S the next time yu break pen a frtune ckie and read a frtune abut the many successes yu shuld expect in yur future, remember that the cnclusin t yur Chinese restaurant meal may nt be as Chinese as yu think.
28. What d we knw abut frtune ckies?
A They are as ppular in China as in America.
B. They are ften added t the custmers' bill.
C They first appeared in America during WWIL
D. They cntain pieces f paper with gd wishes.
29. Why were frtune ckies intrduced int San Francisc?
A. T make prfits. B. T express thanks.
C. T raise peple's spirits. D. T help peple ut f hardship.
30 Which f the fllwing sentences may be fund in Jung's ckies?
A. Each exit is an entrance t new experiences.
B. I'm being held prisner by a Chinese bakery.
C. Only taste frtune ckies; frget all thers.
D. The frtune that yu seek is nt in this ckie.
