The race is called marathon (马拉松).I had never run more than eight miles before, and here I was training. Since the race is in April, I had to run throughout the winter, and in Boston, winters are cold. For most people, just putting on their shirts, sweaters, jackets, and hats is exercise enough. I found myself out on the dark streets, running along ice sidewalks (人行道). Even in gloves, my fingers got so cold that they looked like red carrots. My nose didnt get warm until lunchtime!Finally, the big day arrived. The weather was cold, with ice and rain. Bang! The gun sounded, and we started. I didnt go anywhere at first because I was standing behind so many people. I had to wait for them to move.At first, the running was easy. The other runners just seemed to pull me along. Somewhere around the 20-mile mark I even said to myself, This is nothing, why did I train so hard?Then I hit the wall. The wall is what marathon runners call the special point. I knew my body reached the point and I thought I couldnt go any more. I was out of breath and my legs turned into pieces of wood. I was almost falling down. I cant remember anything about the last five miles of the race.I kept running though. At last, I heard a voice at the finishing line.You look good, my friend Ted said. How did it feel?Wonderful ! I replied.For everything, if you devote yourself into it, there will be a way. I finished the race, at least, in my heart, I was the winner.（1）Which one best describes the weather on the race day?A .

Different people have different kinds of hobbies, according to their personal likes and dislikes. Hobbies are activities we choose to do, but not activities we have to do. There is a lot of difference between wanting to do something and having to do it. We only want to do those things we like to do, and things that give us pleasure and peace of mind.Hobbies play a very important role in our lives. For example, they are a way of connecting us with our inner self. The time devoted to taking up a hobby is our own time. This is the time when we can connect and communicate with ourselves. During this personal time, we can do whatever we like. Doing things according to our own wishes gives us a sense of inner satisfaction, and also helps develop self-confidence.Hobbies also help discover talents. There is a possibility that we are interested in a certain activity, but have never had a chance to try it. If we develop our interest as our hobbies, its quite clear that well do it with great interest. So, even if we have never tried a certain thing before, we can still learn to do it. The hobbyists hidden talents can be discovered, and this can make them feel more confident.Its human nature to try to know more about the things we like. The moment we pursue (追求) some activities as our favorite hobbies, we want to gain more knowledge about the same hobby. Whether its gardening, cooking, painting or collecting stamps, we always try to get a deeper understanding of what were doing, so that we can do it more correctly. Whats more, we also happen to meet people with similar tastes and sometimes, owning rich knowledge about their hobbies. Besides gaining knowledge, hobbies also provide us with a chance to meet people who share similar likes and dislikes with us.Whatever our hobbies are, they can be developed at any age, as a child or as an adult. However, if we begin at a young age, we can get more time to experience the joys.
