My First Marathon（馬拉松）

A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.

I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn't do either well. He later informed me that I was ＂not athletic＂.

The idea that I was ＂not athletic＂ stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!

The night before my marathon, I dreamed that I couldn't even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.

Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋帶) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!

At mile 3, I passed a sign: ＂GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!＂

By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.

By mile 21, I was starving!

As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.

I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.

Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗標籤), I can now call myself a ＂marathon winner＂.

【考點】主旨大意題，細節理解題，人物故事類，人生百味類，記敘文

【解析】

【分析】這是一篇記敘文，作者在參加馬拉松前一個月受了傷，訓練時間不足，且在初一時就被體育老師說沒有運動天賦，但是30多歲的他依然堅持跑完馬拉松，突破自我，挑戰不可能。

⑴細節理解。根據題幹中的a month before the marathon可知答案在第一段，由最後一句Yet, I was determined to go ahead可知作者決定參加比賽，故答案為C。

⑵細節理解。將題幹中的P.E. class in his 7th year定位在第二段，作者自己在7年紀的時候做得不是很好，後來被老師認為不是一個擅長運動的人，並且第三段提到老師的not athletic一直影響著他，故答案為C。

⑶細節理解。從文章倒數第二段 I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal可知作者堅持到最後，終於做到了，故答案為A。

⑷主旨大意。這是一篇記敘文，在最後一段點題：Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗標籤), I can now call myself a ＂marathon winner＂可知，作者是一個意志堅定，通過不懈努力，最終獲得了成功的勝利者，故答案為B。

【點評】本文屬於勵志的故事類閱讀，閱讀時要通讀文章，弄清文章的主旨大意。答題時注意問題中的關鍵詞在文章中的準確定位，根據關鍵詞定位並查找信息，切忌憑感覺做題。
