第1题

At the 1908 Olympics in London the Marathon race was held on a very hot day.The race

started at Windsor Castle,one of the homes of the Royal Family,so that the Royal children could see the runners leave.The race was planned to continue for 26 miles 385 yards (42,195 metres),now the accepted distance for this race,into Central London.Because of the great heat,however,many runners had to give up before they could finish the race.Towards the end,the large crowd waited with great excitement for the South African,Charles Hefferon,to come into the stadium first.They were surprised,however,when the 1st man to appear was the small Italian,Pietri Dorando.Dorando was by now extremely tired and weak and,as he was running round the stadium towards the finishing line,he fell to the groud,unable to continue.Doctors rushed to help him and he soon got to his feet and continued,with loud cheers from the crowd.As he came close to the line he had to be helped again, this time by a journalist,but finally he finished the race.He was not,of course,allowed to receive the gold because he had had help during the race.Afterwards, Dorando argued unsuccessfully that he had not asked for this help.But the medal was given to an American,Hayes,who had finished second.However, Dorando later received a special gold cup from Queen Alexandra for his courage.

Sometimes a race is not enough. Sometimes a runner just wants to go further. Thats what ha

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
