Once in a  while,   I would   get   excited about   running.   However,   I always   picked   up running for the___3___ reasons. I used running as a reason to buy new fashionable sports clothes. Or I decided to run to lose weight or become healthier. My running never lasted longer than 2–3 weeks. I would lose interest in running. I just didn’t understand it. Why would anyone go through the ___4___ of running? Especially when the weather is bad. Who does that? I’d rather go to the gym with my friends, talk, and pick up some weights.

But I found that pain is ___5___ the reason I started to run again. When my life was not what I wanted it to be, I was upset. I decided to run when I arrived home one day after work.

A

Paul, a basketball  11  (love), was only 1.6 meters tall. His idol was Tyrone Bogues, a short N BA player. Paul thought that if he practiced more, he could also make it.   12  it was not that easy. He had to try out many times for making the team. However, he wasn't able to get a chance until his team had a match against the Bears, a team  13  record was perfect. A player on his team was hurt and they would lose the game. Someone suggested giving Paul a shot and the coach agreed. It was   14  (he) time to shine!

B

Miss White  15  (give) a quiz on the weekend homework. Steve hurried through the test and was the first  16  (hand)in his paper. With a look of surprise, Miss White took his paper.

Nowadays, with so many choices and much pressure, we have turned happiness into just one more thing we have. We think we own the right to have it,   20   makes us extremely unhappy.

In 2009 in a small town, Todd Bol came up with an idea to share his mother’s love of reading with others. Bol’s mother had been a teacher who had loved reading. He decided to build a wooden box and fill it with books. Bol placed the box of books on a post in his front yard with a sign that read “Free Books”. Soon his neighbours noticed this tiny model of a “schoolhouse”. They began taking the books and replacing them with books of their own. The tiny library allowed people the opportunity to “check out” books day or night.

Bol’s friends and neighbours wanted little libraries of their own. Bol built several and gave them away. One of his friends, Rick, believed that Bol’s little libraries could benefit more than just local friends and neighbours. With these ideas in mind, Bol and Rick came up with a plan to build over 2,500 Little Free Libraries around the world. They believed that books should be available to all people, no matter where they live or what their background is. To help achieve their goal, Bol and Rick created a website that provides information about the Little Free Libraries and how people can establish little libraries of their own.

Thanks to Bol and Rick, the Little Free Libraries are encouraging people to read more. They didn’t just provide books. They also helped build friendships and a sense of belonging among community members. As more and more people visited Bol’s little library, they began talking with one another. They shared thoughts, ideas, and stories. They got to know one another. Everyone loved the little library. After all, as Bol says, “It’s a magic box with books. People tell us all the time that they’ve met more people in a week than they have in a lifetime.”
