课时作业 18
Ⅰ. 阅读理解
Fauja
Singh,
111,
who
broke
marathon
records
and
was
called
the
“Superman”
before
hanging
up
his
running
shoes
eight
years
ago,
will
be
the
subject
of
a
Bollywood
film,
Fauja,
tracing
his
remarkable
career.
Mr
Singh,
born
in
India
in
1911,
was
a
keen
amateur
runner
in
his
youth,
but
gave
it
up.
Getting
over
a
series
of
personal
tragedies
including
the
deaths
of
his
wife
and
two
of
his
children,
he
returned
to
his
former
passion
in
his
eighties.
He
moved
to
the
UK
soon
after
and
now
lives
in
Ilford,
east
London.
He
arrived
for
his
first
training
session
in
Redbridge
in
a
three-
piece
suit,
and
his
first
race
was
the
London
marathon
in
2000.
Three
years
later
in
Toronto,
he
broke
the
world
record
for
the
90-plus.
In
the
early
2011,
when
he
turned
100,
Mr
Singh
set
eight
world
records
in
a
day.
He
ran
the
100m
in
23. 14,
then
added
the
200m,
400m,
800m,
1, 500m,
the
mile,
the
3, 000m
and
5,000m
world
records.
Three
of
the
events
had
never
been
attempted
by
anyone
over
the
age
of
100
before.
Days
later,
he
became
the
first
centenarian
(百岁老人)
to
complete
a
marathon,
again
in
Toronto,
with
a
time
of
8:25:27.
Mr
Singh
retired
from
competitive
running
in
2013
but
continued
jogging
for
pleasure.
He
owed
his
extraordinary
longevity
to
a
vegetarian
diet
and
avoiding
smoking,
alcohol
and
fried
food.
Of
marathon
running
he
has
said,
“ The
first
20
miles
are
not
difficult.
As
for
the
last
six
miles,
I
