【题目】 Here is a real-life story of The Tortoise and the Hare 《龟兔赛跑》 .

Every year in Australia, the strongest long-distance runners race more than 500 miles from Sydney to Melbourne. The race takes more than five days to complete. It attracts world-class athletes-the kind who become spokespeople for sneakers and sports drinks.

In 1983, however, as the competitors lined up to race, they were joined by a 61-year-old farmer wearing overalls and work boots. His name was Cliff Young. The other runners mistook him for a spectator (观众) . He explained that on his family's sheep farm, he often had to round up 2,000 or so animals by himself. "Sometimes I had to run after those sheep for two or three days. I believe I can run this race." he said.

When the race began, the younger runners flew past Cliff. Instead of running after them,Cliff shuffled ( 拖着脚走) along in an unusual way. The other runners and the spectators thought he would never finish the race. But something happened. When all the other runners took a break to sleep, Cliff kept running. The other runners caught up to him each morning, but finally Cliff was too far ahead to be passed. On the fifth day, he left all of the young, world-class athletes behind. He was the first competitor to cross the finish line and he set a new course record.

Cliff received 10, 000 for winning the race. He said he did not realize there would be prize money, and he gave the funds to his fellow runners. Doing this made him a hero in Australia. Since then, many runners have used his shuffling stride. No one sleeps during the race anymore, either. The farmer changed long-distance racing and proved that age and style aren't everything.

1What helped Cliff Young win the race?

A.Staying awake for five days.B.Running faster than the others.

C.Studying new ways of running.D.Wearing unusual running clothes.

2Why did the other runners think that Young was a spectator?

A.They saw him on the sidelines.B.He was not a spokesperson for sneakers.

But we should remember that no one is sure to be lonely. As UK poet John Donne once wrote, “ 5 And every man is a piece of continent(陆地), a part of the main. ”

They provide wonderful scenes of mountainswoodsgrasslands and wetlands. And there are plenty of activities to do in all of the National Parks in England. Visitors can walk or ride bikes to go around the parks and many of the parks put on activities for families.

Every year there are about 110 million visitors to the parks, bringing many benefits(益处) to the areas. At the same timeit creates problems too. Firstlife can be difficult to local people.

William Blake described the eyes as the "windows of the soul".1 Either way, there's no question that we place great value on our eyes and our eyesight. Surveys have shown that of the five senses, sight is the one that people fear losing the most.

Thinking about the important function of our eyes, we'd give them the best care possible, but sometimes we get too busy or forget to do a few simple things that can keep our eyes healthy.

2 Remember when you were a kid and your mom told you that carrots would improve your eyesight. Well, she might be right. Proper food will keep your eyes strong and healthy.

Give up your daily habits that could seriously injure your eyes. Always wear sunglasses in a sunny day to protect your eyes from ultraviolet ray(紫外线). 3 At least every 2 hours, get up and take a 15-minute break when working at a computer.

4 You should try to prevent eye injuries whether you're playing sports or doing housework. You should also know when to wear safety glasses and what kinds will work best for you.

Last but not least, get your eyes examined regularly. 5 It's important to find these diseases early on, when they're easier to treat.

A. Eye exams can help find some eye diseases.

B. Protecting your eyes starts with the food on your plate.

C. Make sure your eyes do not get injured in the first place.

D. Our eyes are the windows through which we see the world around us.

E. Rest your eyes every 20 minutes from the computer screen by looking 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
