Tears streamed down my face when I watched with respect 19 she pushed forward with great 20 though the last miles.

When the finish line came into sight, rubbish lay everywhere and the 21 crowds had gone home, 22 , standing straight and ever so proud 23 a lone man. He was 24 one end of a ribbon(缎带)of crepe paper(绉纸) 25 to a post. She slowly crossed through, leaving both ends of the paper fluttering(飘动)behind her.

I do not know this woman's name, but that day she became a part of my 26 -a part I often depend on. For her, it wasn't about 27 the other runners or winning a prize, but about 28 what she had set out to do, no matter 29 . When I think things are too difficult or I get those "I-just-can't-do-it," I think of the last runner. Then I realize how 30 the task before me really is.

Miss Gorge taught physics in a New York school. Last month she explained to one of her classes about sound, and she decided to test them to see how successful she had been in her explanation. She said to them,"Now I have a brother in Los Angeles. If I was calling him on the phone and at the same time you were 75 feet away, listening to me from across the street, which of you would hear what I said earlier, my brother or you and for what reason?"

Tom at once answered,"Your brother. Because electricity travels faster than sound waves.""That's every good,"Miss Gorge answered; but then one of the girls raised her hand, and Miss Gorge said."Yes, Kate."

"I disagree,"Kate said."Your brother would hear you earlier because when it's 11 o'clock here it's only 8 o'clock in Los Angeles."
