【题目】For the first time in the history of the Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou marathons, fourteen blind runners competed in the Nov 6 Hangzhou Marathon this year with the assistance of personal guides. Each runner was supported by 4 or 5 volunteers. Among them was Yan Wei, from a running group called “Running in the Dark”, which specially provides training for blind runners.
During trainings, blind runners are each accompanied by three volunteers. One volunteer is responsible for removing any obstacles（障碍物）on the road and controlling the pace. The second
volunteer acts as a lookout for other runners or vehicles on the path while the third, who is attached to the blind runner by a safety rope, takes note of the trainee’s running gait and pace.
Zhu Peihua, the leader of the group’s Shanghai branch, first developed a passion for running last year when he took part in a guided running activity. Zhu said that he was so fascinated with
the sport that he even bought a treadmill（跑步机）so that he could train at home. “Running gives
me the chance to be outside and take in the fresh air. The activity has also made me more willing to talk to people. It’s simply good for health, ” said Zhu.
The popularity of guided running activities for blind people has been growing since last year. Cheng Yi, a volunteer at Running in the Dark’s Hangzhou branch, said that both the numbers of blind runners and volunteers to become assistants to them are rising continually. However, he added that volunteers face a more physically demanding task compared to a regular runner. Some
of the other challenges involve being aware of the verbal(口头的) instructions one gives.
“At the beginning, I kept saying ‘here’ and ‘there’ instead of ‘left’ or ‘right’ which is much more specific and relevant to the runner. A blind runner once collided with another runner because of my mistake. Luckily, no one was hurt,” said Cheng. Through everything, according to Cheng, he and many of the blind runners he has guided become close friends with shared topics and increased understandings.
【1】“Running in the Dark” .
A. has 4 or 5 volunteers B. is a very popular sports activity
C. helps people develop a passion for running D. trains the blind to run
【2】This passage is most probably taken from a/an .
A. newspaper B. advertisement
C. story book D. scientific report
【3】What is the best title of the passage?
A. Making the World Different. B. Meeting New Challenges.
C. Bringing Back Friendships. D. Lending One’s Feet and Eyes.
