W:You said a strange thing on our walk today. You said you love to see things rotting. I'm curious to know why you said that.⑭
M:It's nothing to get excited about, but I'm happy to explain. Nature is so clever in the way it makes some things rot away to nothing and then creates new life from what is left over.
W:But why did you mention it on our walk? We were in the forest at the time.
M:I saw some mushrooms growing on a fallen branch.⑮ They help recycle the dead wood, so that more trees and flowers can grow. It's a beautiful system.
周周练
W:Yes, nature is an expert recycler—and mushrooms can be as beautiful as flowers. Those little yellow ones were unusual—and do you remember the large orange ones? Best of all were the red ones.⑯

W:Thursday would be better for me.
M:I can't make it then. I have booked an appointment at the dentist. What about Saturday?
W:It's a date. We'll explore the magic of mushrooms.⑰

M:Dear Cathy, I know that you've had a lot of fun these years—going to picnics and parties, eating all sorts of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn't let you have.⑲ But I also know that it hasn't always been easy for you and Mom, and that as excited as you both are about that new puppy, it doesn't make up for all the time we've been apart.⑱ Seven years ago you came into my world with all your curiosity and smiles that never fail to fill my heart and light up my day.
周周练
And suddenly, all my business for myself didn't seem so important anymore. I soon found that the greatest joy in my life was the joy I saw in yours. And I realized that my own life wouldn't count for much unless I was able to ensure that you had every opportunity for happiness. In the end, my girl, that's why I was so busy for a big career:⑳ because of what I want for you. I want you to go to schools worthy of your potential—schools that challenge you, inspire you, and instill in you a sense of wonder about the world around you. I want you to have the chance to go to college—even if we aren't rich. And I want you to get good jobs: jobs that pay well and give you benefits like health care, jobs that let you spend time with your own kids and retire with dignity.

After years of pounding my knees and ankles in dashes and the long jump, pain ended my decades of track and field competition.But how do you live without the adrenaline (肾上腺素) of racing? That's simple.You just become sensible at age sixty and turn to competitive swimming! Suddenly, the pounding was gone, and so was the pain.However, in less than a month, I was fed up with pool laps and no sights.
周周练
A friend in the Annapolis Striders had the answer.This marathoner said he had stayed fit by intense walking while healing from a running injury.“Try it,” he said.“It's even a competitive sport.” Sure enough, a certain kind of energetic walking is a 100-year-old Olympic event called racewalking.
周周练
I took to this sport immediately.I didn't have to enter races to be a racewalker.However, those who compete must follow rules and must please numerous hard-eyed judges or be disqualified.But for me, doing it was enough.It took me many months to become smooth in the style.I had lost a sport but had found another.
周周练
Then came a disaster.Lower back pain had arrived.“Surgery is a last solution,” I was told.Dr Clifford Solomon, super-surgeon of Annapolis, Maryland, had the cure.It left me with full leg control, but a flopping (耷拉的) foot.I would be able to jog, but not meet racewalking rules.By chance I tuned the TV to an old movie showing Fred Astaire dancing up a storm.From the ankle down, his feet swiveled (旋转) in the very motion I needed.I turned off the TV and went to the Senior Centre.
周周练
As the only man among twenty-nine students in the tap dancing class, I learned that grandmothers are programmed to care for any wounded creature.Some paid particular attention to this seventy-five-year-old patient, staying after class to guide and inspire.With examples, humour, encouragement and advice, they taught me tap dance.They cured my flopping foot.
周周练
Within a year, I was competing well enough to enter the USA Track and Field Nationals in Boston and break the American record for the 3,000-metre racewalking.And now, at eighty-six, I'm still competing and often thinking of those ladies.

C
A pacer is someone who runs in races or marathons to help set the pace for runners.There are different types of pacers.A race pacer usually carries a sign highlighting a specific competition time for a race.He helps runners reach their goals without relying on technology, such as a smart watch.Professional pacers are used in long-distance races.They run at different sections of the race to inspire runners.A record pacer, who often leads the race for a predetermined distance at a predetermined pace, helps a professional runner set a new record.
周周练
A runner being paced runs directly following a pacer.Having a pacer can be helpful for a long-distance runner because research shows that it takes more energy to lead throughout the race than to follow another runner.The pacer takes on the responsibility of timing and establishing the pace so the runner only has to focus on his own running.Having a pacer as a guide in a long race can take some of the stress and pressure off by keeping an even pace.The pacer may also provide encouragement along the way to work towards the goal.
周周练
There are times, though, when running with a pacer can be more stressful than beneficial for a runner—especially for amateur runners.Not having taken professional training, you set a goal to run a particular pace, but then you realize this may not be the best speed for you.In some cases, the pacer is running too quickly for what you can stand.Other times, you could misjudge your abilities and run a slower pace than what your body can bear.
周周练
It is important to note that you don't have to stay with a pacer just because you started with him.If you feel strong at the end and want to finish faster, you can run ahead.Or if he is too fast, you could slow down and maybe even join the slower pace group behind you.

It is common in the athletic world.Sportsmen spend the best part of their lives on hard training and competitions.When it becomes evident that they are on the decline, they still make great efforts to give their best so as to bring a satisfactory end to their career.They need to have steely nerve to face the intense competition and the pressure of possible defeat.

Chances to compete for the championship are few and far between.Life is short.Still shorter is the time for an athlete trying to win games.An athletic contestant really feels that there are so few opportunities and time flies.He treasures every minute, makes full use of it and tries to grasp any chance coming his way.He gets as much as he gives, winning honors not only for himself but also for his country.

To participate and to win—that is the sports spirit.It finds expression in the weak having the courage to challenge the strong, and the strong searching for ever better performance.Ever better—the ideal always makes a sportsman forward.He will do everything he can for it, never relax and never give up.It is said that none of the competitors can avoid being defeated—even the best is bound to be defeated by someone still stronger.This is the rule of sports—thousands
周周练
of losers pave the way for one winner who in turn will eventually be replaced by someone on the honor list.However, he is always trying to do the best he can.When the time comes and he knows he can't, he will step down happily to give place to the younger winner, aware contentedly of the fact that he has done his best for the “ever better” records of the Olympic Games.He will say proudly that he has not lived his youth in vain.

阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A few years ago, my wife Sue had some fairly serious health problems.She had undergone surgery and had also put on weight for several years.Diets had not helped her.
周周练
One day we sat down and drew up a “wish list” of the things we wanted most out of life.One of Sue's items was to run in a marathon.Given her history and physical limitations, I thought her goal was completely unrealistic, but Sue became committed to it.
周周练
She began by running very slowly around.Every day she ran just a little farther than she had the day before.“When will I ever be able to run a mile?” Sue asked one day.Soon she was running three.Then five.“We can change ourselves for the better and cause ourselves to pursue our most precious desires with almost total success,” Sue said and registered for the St.George Marathon in southern Utah.
周周练
I drove up the mountainous road from Cedar City to St.George.When the marathon began, I parked the car near the finish line and waited for Sue to come in.Five hours later, it was raining steadily and the wind was cold.Several cold and injured runners had been transported past me, and I began to panic.The image of Sue, alone and cold, off the road somewhere, made me sick with worry.The fast and strong competitors had finished long ago, and runners were becoming fewer and fewer.Now I could not see anyone in either direction.
周周练
Almost all of the cars along the marathon route had left, and some normal traffic was beginning.I was able to drive directly up the race route.There were still no runners in view after driving almost two miles.Then I went around a bend in the road and spotted two runners running up ahead.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。

One possible version:
It was Sue in the company of a girl runner, struggling.As I approached them, I noticed the pair dragging their feet and running forward awkwardly with their shoes wet.I pulled over and called, “Are you okay?” “Oh, yes!” Sue said, almost out of breath.The girl also nodded and kept moving.I had wanted to offer them a ride, but the resolve in their eyes made me swallow back the words.I turned around and followed.Inch by inch, they were getting closer to the finish line.Eventually, the real winners in my heart ran past the finish line.
周周练
At the finish line, the girl hugged Sue and said, “You made me believe we could do it.” She added, “Sue described so vividly how it would be to finish that I knew I could do it.” Sue smiled back, “I've been dreaming about this day for two years and I won't be denied.” Greatly moved, the girl promised she would never quit doing anything easily without total success.At that moment, I looked at Sue and found she was carrying herself differently.It was not as if she had become someone new; it was more as if she had discovered a real self she had not known before.She truly liked her newly discovered self.So did I.

And I realized that my own life wouldn't count for much unless I was able to ensure that you had every opportunity for happiness in the end, my girl, that's why I was so busy for a big career because of what I want for you. I want you to go to schools worthy of your potential, schools that chAllenge you, inspire you, and is still knew a sense of wonder about the world around you. I want you to have the chance to go to college, even if we aren't rich. And I want you to get good jobs, jobs that pay well and give you benefits like health care, jobs that let you spend time with your own kids and retire with dignity.
