Running into a Better Life
This global site is a place for runners to share their stories about running.So,if you are a runner with a story to tell,get in touch①— we'd love to hear from you② !
Li Yue,16,Beijing
I was born with③ asthma and I never thought I'd be a runner!I only joined my local athletics club because my doctor told me that in my particular case④ exercise could improve how my lungs⑤ work.[1]But before I knew it,I was taking part in local races.As my fitness and my running improved[2],I started running in national competitions.This year I won silver⑥ in the under 18's 10,000 metres! And who knows,next year I could win gold!
[1]“because...work”为because引导的原因状语从句,其中包含了一个that引导的宾语从句,作动词told 的宾语;此宾语从句中又包含了一个how引导的宾语从句,作动词improve的宾语。
[2]此处为As引导的时间状语从句,As意为“随着”。

Not so long ago,I didn't do any exercise — not even any jogging!Then I discovered an app called Running Power⑦.It lists your performance against⑧ other runners in your social network⑨.At first,I kept running just to see my name in the top five.Soon,I found that I was not alone — I came across⑩ other runners in the same area running for the same purpose[3]!Now I no longer⑪ use the app,but I've fallen in love with running,and still do it with my running friends.
[3]画线部分是动词-ing形式短语作后置定语,修饰名词other runners。
David,52,New York
As a computer engineer,there's always a new challenge just around the corner⑫!It can be quite stressful at times,though⑬,which in turn⑭ makes me feel anxious.To help deal with this,I go running as often as I possibly can.Whether I'm at the gym or on the road[4],my nervous energy pushes me through mile one.By mile two,the tension⑮ has moved from my mind to my legs.By the end of the run,all my stress has disappeared⑯ and I'm ready to face the next day at work!
[4]画线部分是Whether引导的让步状语从句,与or连用,意为“不管……还是……”。
Grace,25,Manchester
This year I entered the Great Gorilla Run in London.This is a programme run by The Gorilla Organization to raise money⑰ to save the world's last remaining⑱ gorillas from⑲ dying out⑳.[5]Each runner receives a gorilla suit and off they go!It's a bit hot and sweaty㉑ inside the suit,and my legs ache㉒,but it's a lot of fun.The funniest moment was when someone watching the race offered me a banana — a real treat㉓ for a running gorilla![6]I had a great day out㉔ in London,as well as helping to save gorillas!
学生用书第75页
[5]过去分词短语run by The Gorilla Organization与动词不定式短语to raise money to save...dying out都作后置定语,修饰名词a programme。

跑向更加美好的生活

李悦,16岁,北京
我生来就患有哮喘,从没想过自己会成为一个跑步者!我加入当地的运动俱乐部,只是因为医生告诉我,像我这种特殊的情况,锻炼可以改善肺功能。转眼之间,我就已经开始参加当地的跑步比赛了。随着健康(状况)的改善和跑步水平的提高,我开始参加全国性的跑步比赛。今年,我在18岁以下的1万米比赛中获得了银牌!并且说不定明年我就能赢得金牌了!
萨拉,36岁,蒙特利尔
不久以前,我不做任何运动,甚至连慢跑都没有!然后,我发现了一个名为“Running Power”的应用程序,它会列出你与社交网络中其他跑步者的表现排名。一开始,我坚持跑步就是为了看我的名字排在前五。很快,我便发现我不是一个人——我在同一地区遇到了抱有同样目标的其他跑步者!现在我不再使用这个应用程序了,但是我已经爱上了跑步,并且还会和跑友们一起跑步。
大卫,52岁,纽约
作为一名计算机工程师,总有新的挑战在等着我!不过,有时压力会很大,这继而会让我感到焦虑。为解决这个问题,我尽可能频繁地去跑步。不管是在健身房还是在路上,体内紧张的能量会推动我跑过一英里。到第二英里时,紧张感便从我的大脑转移到我的双腿。到跑步结束时,所有的压力都已经消失不见了,我也已准备好迎接第二天的工作了!
格雷丝,25岁,曼彻斯特
今年,我参加了在伦敦举办的“大猩猩赛跑”。这是由“大猩猩组织”运营的项目,旨在筹集资金拯救世界上仅存的大猩猩,使其免于灭绝。每个跑步者都会收到一套大猩猩服装,然后便出发!穿着这套衣服有点热,很容易出汗,我的腿也很疼,但是非常好玩。最有趣的时刻就是有位观赛的人递给我一根香蕉——对一只正在奔跑的大猩猩来说,这真是一种款待!我在伦敦度过了美好的一天,还帮助拯救了大猩猩!
