When

a

running

event

is

longer

than

26.2

miles,

it

is

called

an

are

two

kinds

of

ultramarathons.

In

the

first

kind

of

ultramarathon, runners have to cover a specific distance

—

50 miles, for example.

In the second kind of ultramarathon, runners have a limited amount of time, such

as 24 hours, to cover as much distance as they can. Some ultramarathons are run as

loops around a track or

course. Others are run on trails through

forests, deserts,

or

mountains.

Many

ultramarathons

that

are

run

on

trails

include

natural

obstacles

that

a

runner

will

have

to

overcome,

such

as

rocky

paths

or

bad

weather.

Ultramarathons

are

run

all

over

the

world,

even

on

Antarctica.

The

most

famous

race

across

Antarctica

is

called

The

Last

Desert

Race.

Runners

pay

over

$$14,000

to

compete

in this race. Besides,they must also buy special equipment to protect themselves

against the extreme cold.

People

who

want

to

train

to

run

in

an

ultramarathon

should

first

gain

experience

running

regular

marathons.

Once

you

have

completed

a

few

marathons,

you

can

add

more

and more distance every time you run.

Besides

practicing,

there

are

a

few

other

things

you

can

do

to

help

you

prepare

to

run

an

ultramarathon.

First,

pick

a

location

that

is

close

to

home,which

is

safer

because you will be more familiar with the area. Next, make sure to bring snacks,

sunscreen,

and

extra

shoes.

You

should

also

remember

to

drink

eight

ounces

of

water

or a sports drink every 15 to 20 minutes. Your pace is also very important. When

you are

running an ultramarathon, you should

start running more slowly than you

do

when you run a regular marathon.

Finally, many people

who run ultramarathons say

that it

is easier

and more fun

to

train

with

friends

than

it

is

to

train

alone.

So

if

you

are

interested

in

running

an ultramarathon, you should also try to get one of your friends interested in it

too.

Dear Mr. Palmer,

I am writing to express my disappointment that the Athletic Center has chosen

to close its on-site nursery,which provides an indispensable service for mothers

who wish to exercise and be physically fit.

It is also the Center’s commitment to

the health of the community. Closing the nursery is endangering the wonderful,

family-oriented

atmosphere.

I

hope

you

will

reconsider

this

discouraging

decision.

For mothers like me, a gym nursery is absolutely essential. Many of us cannot

afford to hire babysitters just so we can go to the gym. By running a nursery, the

Athletic Center enables mothers of all income levels to work out without much

inconvenience

or

expense.

I

have

really

benefited

from

this

service

and

would

hate

to see it go.

I

also

believe

that

providing

a

nursery

has

helped

the

Athletic

Center

to

fulfill

its mission of “building a healthier Savannah.”By making it easier for mothers

to

exercise,

the

gym

has

reached

out

to

those

who

often

struggle

to

stay

fit.

I

worry

that

by

closing

the

nursery,

the

Center

will

not

be

as

effective

at

putting

its

own

principles into action. I deeply respect the Center for its contributions to the

health

of

our

whole

community,

and

I

would

love

to

see

those

contributions

continue.

I know that many other gym members also believe that the Center’s commitment

to “a healthier Savannah”

is what sets it apart from other local gyms. I enjoy

working out in such a unique, family- friendly atmosphere, and I consider many of

my

fellow

gym

members

to

be

close

friends.

I

have

heard

that

if

the

nursery

closes,

many

mothers

will

leave

the

Center

in

favor

of

a

gym

that

can

offer

childcare,

which

will negatively affect all members by changing the wonderful atmosphere that we

currently enjoy.

I would very much appreciate it if you would reconsider closing the nursery.

I would be very disheartened to see it go.

Sincerely

,

Virginia O. Malcolm

paragraph?

A. The Center may close the nursery.

One thing in which I think I take too much pride, at times, is my academic

performance. In

the past, I managed to get

grades on exams that were unbelievable,

even

to

myself,

for

the

amount

of

studying

I

had

done.

The

exam

may

have

just

happened

to

ask

the

questions

to

which

I

knew

the

answers,

even

though

there

were

many

possible

questions that would have stumped me.

I’ve always done well in mathematics, but a few times,

I had to step back and

take a second look at how much pride I had in my ability. Upon receiving the score

for

my

second

exam

in

MATH170,

I

was

rather

disturbed.

My

score

was

79%.

I

had

planned

to use my math courses to balance the grades I might get in my English and writing

courses,

so

that

score

was

acceptable.

It

got

worse

still.

In

Statistics

and

Calculus,

I

received

failing

grades

on

homework

assignments.

Every

time

I

got

these

bad

grades,

I felt t

he same. I started to think that maybe I really couldn’t do these things.

After giving an honest effort, however, I did better.

The thing in which I haven’t enough pride is my worth as a person with whom

people

like

to

associate.

I

give

up

opportunities

to

socialize

because

I

don’t

think

anyone

will

want

to

talk

to

me.

Because

of

this

trait

of

mine,

I

have

very

few

friends.

Perhaps

spending

the

majority

of

my

time

alone

isn’t

bad;

it

is

what

I’m

used

to,

but

I

bet

that

by

living

a

life

of

partial

seclusion,

I

miss

out

on

interesting

and

8

th

B. Angry.

C. Cautious.

amusing life experiences that could be beneficial.

I have illustrated how the extremes of pride can be harmful. In my case, too

much pride in academic ability can lead to failing grades, and not enough pride in

oneself as a social individual can lead to a lonelier life. A moderate amount of

pride

leads

to

a

clear

view

of

the

agendas

of

life,

allowing

one

to

make

good

decisions

regarding these.

did the author get good grades in the past?

A. Because of hard work.

C. Because of good luck.

B. Because of much pride.

D. Because

of high intelligence.

did the author feel after exam failures?

A. A little ashamed.

C. Less determined.

B. Less confident.

D. A little grateful.

34.

What is the author’s

attitude to spending most of his/her time alone?

A. Carefree.

Positive.

is the best title for the text?

A. Avoiding being too proud.

B. Changing the poor character.

D.

Balancing

the

B. Tolerant.
