课时作业(五) (限时：35分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Gracie Bucher desired to qualify(获得资格) for the state cross country meet as she started the section race in Luverne. As a 7th grader, she finished just two places back from qualifying for state. Yet there she was, early in the race, her legs feeling extremely heavy. “I have to keep fighting for it，” Gracie told herself. She pushed on. But as she approached the finish line, she lost her balance and fell to the ground. She pulled herself up and then fell again. Gracie's mother watched it all, separated from her daughter by a rope and a row of the audience. “Extremely painful” is how Missy Kuntz describes it. Missy wanted to run to her daughter, but “I was told, ‘You can't go out，’ and ‘You can't touch her.’” Under rules enforced by the Minnesota State High School League, one runner assisting another runner means disqualification for both. Gracie continued to struggle, until a strange competitor had seen enough. Liana Blomgren, a former state qualifier from another school, saw Gracie fall. “I knew she wasn't going to get to the finish line by herself，” Liana says. She pulled Gracie to her feet, and supported her weight as the competitors crossed the finish line together. At the end of the day, they both were disqualified. Kyle Blomgren, Liana's dad and coach, believes his daughter did what others should have. “I don't think an athlete on the field in that condition should be surrounded by a group of bystanders，” Kyle says. “And it took an 18­year­old girl to step in and help.” Due in part to previous incidents like Gracie's, the national organization overseeing the meet recently ruled that a runner who stops to assist a competitor will not be disqualified, so long as a medical care provider is not available. Too late for Liana, but she's already made peace with her disqualification. 语篇导读　本文为记叙文。Gracie因身体不适在赛跑时不断跌倒，而她的竞争对手Liana却不怕被取消参赛资格，无私地帮助了她。 1．What do we know about Gracie?
