ppened to Dennis Martin and Brooke Curran. Martin, 46 , a retired detective from New York City, took up running after his first wife died. Curran, 46, a philanthropist(慈善家)from Alexandria, started running to get out of the house and collect her thoughts. Both she and Martin got good at running but felt the desire to do more. "The more I trained, the better I got," Curran said, " but I would cross the finish line with no sense of accomplishment. " Eventually, they worked up to running marathons(马拉松)(and longer races)in other countries, on other continents. Now both have achieved a notable-and increasingly less rare milestone: running the 26. 2-mile race on all seven continents. They are part of a phenomenon that has grown out of the running culture in the past two decades, at the intersection of athleticism and leisure: " runcations," which combine distance running with travel to exotic places. These trips, as expensive as they are physically challenging, are a growing and competitive market in the travel industry. " In the beginning, running was enough," said Steen Albrechtsen, a press manager. " The classic marathon was the ultimate goal, then came the super marathons, like London and New York. But when 90, 000 people a year can take that challenge, it is no longer exciting and adventurous. Hence, the search for new adventures began. " "No one could ever have imagined that running would become the lifestyle. activity that it is today," said Thorn Gilligan, founder and president of Boston-based Marathon Tours and Travel. Gilligan, who has been in business since 1979, is partly responsible for the seven-continent phenomenon. It started with a casual talk to an interviewer about his company offering trips to very continent except Antarctica. And then in 1995, Marathon Tours hosted its first Antarctica Marathon on King George Island, off the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula: 160 runners got to the starting line of a dirt-and ice-trail route via a Russian icebreaker through the Drake Passage.

At the beginning, Martin took up running just to______.

A．meet requirements of his job

B．win a running race

C．join in a philanthropic activity

D．get away from his sadness

听力原文： The engine of Margaret's car was not running smoothly. The spark plugs needed cleaning. Margaret could have done the job herself, but garages have special equipment that does such things very thoroughly.

Like her father, Margaret did not like being overcharged. She knew that garages do this sometimes. Sometimes they even charge for work they have never done. She told the repairman at the garage not to do any extra work, she wanted the spark plugs cleaned, and nothing more. Then she left, saying she would be back in a little while.

When Margaret came back, the repairman handed her a bill for ￡ 10. Margaret knew this was more than it should cost to have the spark plugs cleaned. Then the repairman said he had put new ones in. Margaret decided she was not going to stand for this, and began to get angry.

"But the plugs were worn out; what else could I do？" the repairman protested. "How long should these new spark plugs last？ More than a few months？" Margaret demanded. "Of come! Much longer than that!" The repairman said with great emphasis.

"Well, then, put the old ones back in. I had new spark plugs put in only a few months ago, and 1 had the job done here!" Margaret said.

A．Do extra work if necessary.

B．Change the spark plugs only.

C．Clean the spark plugs only.

From Golda: the Life of Israel's Prime Minister

The Struggle with Her Parents over Her Education

When Golda graduated as valedictorian (致告别辞的毕业生代表) of her class, her mother was elated. Now the girl could work full-time in the grocery store. Even in America gifts were not expected to go to high school!

Golda, however, expected to go. And after some tearful arguments, her parents agreed. Papa had, for once, sided with her-albeit rather faintly. Perhaps he felt guilty that he, the breadwinner, actually earned so little. He was a wise, gentle, and scholarly man, but not cut out for business...

She had decided to become a teacher because such a profession was "intellectually and socially useful". Mama, however, had found out that married women were not permitted to teach in local schools. "You want to be mi old maid？" she screamed at Golda, "That's what you're studying for？"

Papa now sided strongly with Mama. Either Golda must quit school and go to work like other sensible gifts her age, or she must transfer to a business school to be trained in subjects which would help her get a job and, who knows, a husband too...

After running away from home and living with her married sister in Denver for two years, Golda won this battle too. She returned to Milwaukee to finish high school.

Golda's Determination for a Jewish Homeland

Golda was still in high school when the First World War broke out in Europe. And with the war came dire reports of increased programmes. The Jewish Pale of Settlement lay, unfortunately, in the every territory where Russian and German-Austrian armies clashed most often in violent battle. When the White Russian Army fled in retreat, they slaughtered Jews in that section for being German sympathizers. When the Russians swept back and Germans fled from the same section, they murdered Jews for being Russian spies.

The White Russian armies and their bitter opponents, the Germans, seemed to agree on one tenet only: anti-Semitism. And they had ample opportunities for carrying out their battle cry: death to the Jews. Of the ten million Jews in Europe, eight million lived in the Russian and Austro Hungarian empires.

Millions of Jews were rendered homeless. Committees were organized to raise funds for the ever-swelling ranks of Jewish refugees who fled from one town to the next, trying to keep out of the way of the armies. Golda worked with the People's Relief and with an organization called Aid in Need, formed by Jewish workers in Milwaukee to help hungry and homeless European Jews...

She felt broken apart inside. For nights she could not sleep. What good did it do, running around, making speeches, collecting money for a new generation of suffering, displaced, wandering Jews？ There had been a better answer than this. There had to be one place in the world where Jews could at last be free from persecution. There had to be a Jewish homeland. And it must be created as soon as possible. All her beliefs suddenly solidified into one single purpose. As soon as she could, she would go to Palestine and devote her life to this goal. She joined Poale Zion, the Labour Zionist Party.

Golda's Talent as a Speaker

She set about making money for her passage to Palestine. She worked part-time at the Sixteenth Street and North Avenue branch of the Milwaukee Public Library. In the spring of 1916 she graduated.... She entered Milwaukee Normal School for Teachers and took a part-time job at a Yiddish-speaking folk school which advocated Labour Zionism. But even this seemed too far removed from her goal. So she started speaking for the Labour Zionists' Poale Zion.

The organization soon discovered that the eighteen-year-old girl had a remarkable talent as a speaker. They sent her on speaking engagements around the country. Her mission: to try to stir the complacen

Hair Care

Whether the hair is long or short，it must be regularly brushed and regularly washed．For greasy（油性的）hair，especially if the owner lives in a town。it may be necessary to wash the head every four to five days．Those with a dry hair can usually go a little longer，but this is a matter for the individual to decide．

As for style．this must be studied according to what is the latest fashion and also to suit the individual at different times of her life．If a woman is not able to go to hairdresser very often，it is important that she chooses a style. she can easily manage for herself，and this nearly always means

that the first cut must be very standard．The same applies to permanent waving（烫发）．I think that this should be carried out three or four times a year，SO that the hair never gets out of hand．

One thing would be remembered though，that is，whatever you apply to the head can have some effect upon the skin and therefore anything strong should be used with care．Or you may use milder products．

Young people who has spots or skin troubles on their face should take particular care to en． sure that the hair is both clean and does not come into contact with the affected piece of skin．Hair is very difficult to keep completely clean and therefore anyone running their hands through their hair and afterwards touching their face，or letting their hair fall over their faces，might spread infection from one place to another．s

Good hair does a lot to the effect of a face，SO if you want to look charming，please start with your hair．

According to the text，the most basic thing to do in hair care isC． 查看材料

A.to go to hairdressers very often

B.to choose milder products for the hair

C.to wash and brush the hair regularly

D.to keep the hair away from the skin trouble

On Thursday afternoon Mrs. Carke, dressed for going out, took her handbag with her money and her key in it, pulled the door behind her to lock it and went to the over 60s Club. She always went there on Thursdays. It was a nice outing for an old woman who lived alone.

At six o'clock she cane home, let herself in and at once smelt cigarette smoke. Cigarette smoke in her house？ How？ How？ Had someone got in？ She checked the back door and the windows. All were locked or fastened, as usual. There was no sign of forced entry.

Over a cup of tea she wondered whether someone might have a key that fitted her front door-"a master key"perhaps. So she stayed at home the following Thursday. Nothing happened. Was anyone watching her movements？ On the Thursday after that she went out at her usual time,dressed as usual, but she didn't go to the club.

The wire turned and caught around the knob on the door-lock. Mrs. Clarke raised the kettle and poured the water over the hand.
