Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
For the first time in the history of the Beijing,Shanghai and Hangzhou marathons,fourteen blind runners competed in the Nov. 6 Hangzhou Marathon with the assistance of personal guides. Each runner was supported by 4 or 5 volunteers.Among them was Yan Wei,from a running group called “Running in the Dark”,which specially provides training for blind runners.
During trainings,blind runners are each accompanied by three volunteers. One volunteer is responsible for removing any obstacles(障碍物) on the road and controlling the pace.The second volunteer acts as a lookout for other runners or vehicles on the path while the third,who is attached to the blind runner by a safety rope,takes note of the trainee's running gait and pace.
Zhu Peihua,the leader of the group's Shanghai branch,first developed a passion for running last year when he took part in a guided running activity. Zhu said that he was so fascinated with the sport that he even bought a treadmill(跑步机) so that he could train at home. “Running gives me the chance to be outside and take in the fresh air. The activity has also made me more willing to talk to people. It's simply good for health.” said Zhu.
The popularity of guided running activities for blind people has been growing since last year. Cheng Yi, a volunteer at Running in the Dark's Hangzhou branch,said that both the numbers of blind runners and volunteers to become assistants to them are rising continually. However,he added that volunteers face a more physically demanding task compared to a regular runner. Some of the other challenges involve being aware of the verbal(口头的) instructions one gives.
“At the beginning,I kept saying ‘here’ and ‘there’ instead of ‘left’ or ‘right’ which is much more specific and relevant to the runner. A blind runner once collided with another runner because of my mistake. Luckily,no one was hurt.”said Cheng.Through everything,according to Cheng, he and many of the blind runners he has guided become close friends with shared topics and increased understandings.

The final event in the Olympics is the marathon. It is also usually the most exciting. As the leader comes into the stadium to run the last few meters of the 42kilometer race,the crowd rises to its feet to shout and cheer. The name of the race comes from a battle in Ancient Greece. According to the story,a soldier ran from the scene of the battle,Marathon,to Athens,to bring the news of a Greek victory against the Persians. He died just after arriving.
The marathon has been an Olympic event since the modern games started in 1896. At first the distance was 40 kilometers—the distance between Marathon and Athens. In 1908,however,at the London Olympics,it was changed. The King of England wanted the runners to leave from his castle in Windsor and arrive in a new stadium in central London. The distance was 26 miles—about 42 kilometers. In fact, the 1908 marathon ended dramatically(戏剧性地). When the leader,an Italian,entered the stadium he turned the wrong way and fell onto the ground. Officials picked him up and helped him to the finishing line,just as the second runner,an American,entered the stadium. The Americans protested(抗议) and in the end the American runner was declared(宣布)the winner. Since then,there have been many more exciting marathons.
In fact,you don't have to wait for the Olympic Games to run or watch a marathon,as there are marathons in over sixty countries and hundreds of cities around the world today. One of the most famous marathons is in New York,and is watched by two million people around the streets and across the bridges of the city's five boroughs(纽约市的行政区),and past New York's famous landmarks. But perhaps one of the most beautiful and extraordinary(最特别的)marathons ever is the Great Wall Marathon,which most competitors find is the toughest course to run.
The marathon is the final Olympic event because it is thought to be the hardest. But experts believe that most people—even people who are not particularly good at sports—can run a marathon,if they train for it.

A.ran to his feet happily
