  The New York City Marathon was started by a man named Fred Lebow.It began in 1970 as a small, unimportant race.Only 127 people ran, and just 55 of them finished.They ran around Central Park four times.Few people watched them run.However, over the years the marathon grew and became more popular.

  Today people come from all over the world to run in the marathon.Runners must be at least 18 years old, but there is no age limit(限制).In fact, the oldest runner was an 89-year-old man.Recently, more than 27,000 people ran in the New York City Marathon.Large crowds cheered the runners and offered them cold drinks and encouragement.

  The course(路线)of the marathon has changed, too.Instead of running around Central Park, the runners go through the five districts of New York City:Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island.The marathon begins at the base(基座)of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge in Staten Island.The runners go across the bridge into Brooklyn.Then they go up through Queens and into the Bronx.The marathon finishes in Central Park in Manhattan.The complete course is 26.2 miles, and takes the best runners less than 3 hours.

  Although it has changed since 1970, the New York City Marathon is always exciting.Through the years, many unusual events(事件)have happened during the marathon.For example, Pat Tuz and John Weilbaker got married a few minutes before the race.Then they ran the race with their party members.Some people run the whole marathon as a family.Other people run the race backwards.

  In the fall of 1992, Fred Lebow, the founder(创始人)of the New York City Marathon, slowly ran his last race.He was very ill with cancer, but he did not want to stop running.In October 1994, Fred died.However, the New York City Marathon, and all its excitement, will continue for many years to come

Jane Goodall is one of the most well-known scientists in the world. Much of the information we have today about chimpanzees comes from the research of Jane Goodall.
Jane Goodall was born in London in 1934. She became interested in animals and animal stories when she was a very young child. She always dreamed of working with wild animals. When she was eleven years old, she decided that she wanted to go to Africa to live with and write about animals. But this was not the kind of thing young women usually did in the 1940s. Everybody was laughing except her mother. “If you really want something, you work hard, you take advantage of opportunity, you never give up, you find a way,” her mother said to her. The opportunity came at last. A school friend invited her to Africa. Jane worked as a waitress until she had got enough money to travel there.
In 1957, Jane Goodall traveled to Africa. She soon met the well-known scientist Louis Leakey and began working for him as an assistant. He later asked her to study a group of chimpanzees living by a lake in Tanzania. Very little was known about wild chimpanzees at that time.
Jane spent many years studying chimpanzees in this area of Africa. It was not easy work. They were very shy and would run away whenever she came near. She learned to watch them from far away using binoculars. Over time, she slowly gained their trust(信任). She gave the chimpanzees human names such as David Graybeard, Flo and Fifi. Watching the chimpanzees, she made many discoveries. They ate vegetables and fruits. But she found that they also eat meat. A few weeks later, she made an even more surprising discovery. She saw chimpanzees making and using tools(工具) to help them catch insects.
Jane Goodall has written many books for adults and children about wild chimpanzees. Her most recent book is called Hope for Animals and Their World. It tells about saving several kinds of endangered animals.

There are many things you can do to improve your memory. Among them are many kinds of useful ways as well as taking special care of your health.

(1)It is _______ that you make ________ excited to make your memory more active. You can do this by doing some new activities and by changing your daily habits. Learning a new skill helps your brain(大脑)to develop. When trying to remember something, you should pay special attention to the most important things about it. Do not allow other thoughts to enter your mind because this will reduce your chances of making right memories.

An excellent way to help memory is to connect information with pictures. Try to see the pictures in your mind. Taking notes and keeping a diary will also be helpful.

(3)Healthy food and plenty of vitamins are necessary for your memory to work well. Drinking a lot of water also helps keep your memory. You must allow your brain to have enough sleep and rest. When you are asleep, your brain stores memory. Not enough sleep can cause problems with storing information. And being tired will also stop you from being able to think clearly and well.

In order to keep your mind on your work, you must be free-from worry. Generally keeping fit and normal health checks are both important as well-not just for improving your memory.
