Dear Jenny,
I’m sorry you’re sick(病了) and can’t come to school this week. Let me tell you what you have on Monday next week.
We have math at 8:00. How boring! Then we have English. That’s interesting. I know you love English. Next is P.E. The fourth lesson is art. That’s my favorite subject! In the afternoon, we have history with Mr Chen. He is fun but history isn’t.  Then at 2:00 we have science with Miss Jones. You know how strict she is. I don’t like her. Our last class of the day is math. Again!
Yours,
Ben

The marathon(马拉松) in my town usually takes place in hot weather. My job was to follow the runners to help those who needed medical help. “We should stay behind the last runner, so take it slowly,” I said to the driver, Doug.

As it began, the front runners started to disappear(消失). Then I noticed a woman in blue running shorts and a white T-shirt. “ Doug, look!” We knew we were watching our “last runner”. Her feet turned in , yet her left knee turned out. Her legs were so crippled(畸形的) that it seemed impossible for her to be able to walk. How could she run a marathon？

We watched in silence as she slowly moved forward. We would move forward a little bit, then stop and wait for her. Then we would slowly move forward a little bit more. As I watched her try to put one foot in front of the other, I found myself breathing for her. I wanted her to stop, and at the same time, I hoped that she wouldn’t. Finally, she was the only runner left in sight. When the finishing line came into sight, we found the cheering people had all gone home. She slowly crossed through the line and lifted her hands, full of happiness.

I do not know the woman’s name, but since that day she has become a part of my life. For her, it was about finishing what she had set out to do, no matter what. When I think things are too difficult and want to say “I just can’t do it”, I think of the last runner. Then I realize how easy the task before me really is.

1.When does the marathon usually take place in the writer’s town？

2.The last runner had problems with her      .

3.Why did the woman take part in the marathon?
