I started running half marathons(马拉松)a long time ago. A half marathon is 21 kilometers, by the way. I' ve tried a few full marathons, but 42 kilometers is a long way and I prefer the shorter distance(距离). I'm almost 70 now, and I' ve been doing them for over 50 years, but I still get the same excitement at the beginning of each race as I used to.
I don't run as many half-marathons as I did. I used to run around 15 races every year and when I was in my thirties I got quite good at them. I think my personal best was around 1 hour 17 minutes, which was only ten minutes over the world record back then. These days I run about five races a year and my time is quite a bit slower. At my age you need a lot more preparation and your body doesn't recover(恢复) as quickly, but it's well worth all the hard work.
There are two main reasons why I still run half marathons. Firstly, it means I'm keeping myself fit. My doctor told me that I'm healthier than most people half my age! But I think the real reason I love the sport is the other people you meet. You get to know other athletes(运动员) and I' ve made many good friends over the years. The crowds of people who wait on the sides of the streets clapping and shouting as you run past are amazing. I get more and more support the older I get!
I now spend quite a lot of time visiting schools to get children interested in sport, especially running. I think it's really important to get involved(参加) at an early age. It makes it so much easier to keep doing it the older you get. The kids are always interested and they ask me lots of questions. Many of them can't believe that I'm the same age as their grandfathers. Sometimes I invite them to run a five-kilometer race with me but not many of them can beat me!
Courage is often thought to be one of the important spirits everyone needs. Then what is courage? {#blank#}1{#/blank#} One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential(潜力). Kids build courage as they are growing up.
Many people talk about connections between courage and fear. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} If there is no fear, there is no need for courage. That is to say, courage is the ability to do what makes you feel afraid. Courage doesn't only mean great actions such as saving one's life or taking a big risk. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} For example, we show courage when we raise our hand to answer a hard question during class or try a new sport.
Courage is in everyday choices we make. Can you be kind to the new kid in class? {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Or can you stand up for someone in need? Often, these things don't come with praise, but they need courage.
{#blank#}5{#/blank#} When we become brave enough to face failure, we'll be more willing to try new things and try again after we fail. Courage doesn't always shout. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says, "I'll try again tomorrow."
A. You should learn to speak in public. B. It is the ability to do something difficult. C. Courage always stands side by side with fear. D. Can you listen to the new person in your group? E. Learning to fail is another important part of courage. F. Courage also means the smaller actions of our everyday lives. |

Ear Cleaning Lesson So you' re watching TV now. Suddenly, your ea r starts to feel a little bit uncomfortable. After you dig your little finger around in your ear for a while, you dig out a little brown ball. That's earwax. | ||
| Earwax is produced in your inner ear canal(管, 道). The dead skin cells(皮 肤 细 胞 ) and oils in the canal mix together to form these little brown balls. They help keep the skin in our ears healthy and slightly wet, protecting the ear canal. | |
However, the helpful earwax can sometimes make our ears uncomfortable. At that point, should we try to get it out? Never use cotton swabs! Millions of people use cotton swabs to clean their ears. Well, in fact, while you may be able to get a little bit of the earwax out, you're probably just pushing more of it back in. And the inner end of ear canal can be filled with earwax. Even worse, the car drum may also be hurt because of cotton swabs. In daily lives, if you really want to, you can clean your outer cars with a little soap, water and a washcloth. And most of the time, there's no need to clean ear canals. The ear canal can naturally push out extra (额外) earwax. When you run, bathe or do other things, the extra earwax will fall out. So the best way to get the extra earwax out of our ears is— just to leave it alone. |
