Question

Two weeks ago, I had a quarrel with my husband .After he had driven off in anger; I realized that I wasn’t going to feel any better just sitting there. Feeling abandoned and guilty, I put on my gym shoes to get some fresh air.

Our driveway has a slope(斜坡) that is easier just to jog down if you are lazy, taking advantage of gravity. Instead of stopping at the end of the slope, I decided to see if I could just jog to the end of the street. I had tried a few months ago and failed miserably. Since that first attempt I had been jogging regularly and was significantly fitter, but still very lazy. However this time around I managed to reach the stop sign with ease and I figured I would go a little further.

After about one kilometer, however, I noticed that my upper body was tense. To make the movement easier I had to relax my body, and tried to take deep breaths of fresh air.

I kept giving myself the excuse to stop. No one would be disappointed. No one would even know. But I didn’t stop. I wanted to keep going harder, better, faster, stronger. To my great surprise, I ran 4.9 km in 31 minutes. When I got back, I had tears in my eyes. I did something I thought I could never do.

It was the first long run of my life. Since then, I have improved my stride(步幅) and time. After every run I feel fitter, happier and motivated to keep progressing. I love the runner’s high. I normally jog because I want to look good. I want to run because it makes me feel good.

【解析】

試題分析：本文主要講述了在一次和丈夫爭吵之后，“我”生氣地開著車離開了。然而離開之后，我并沒有開心，在感覺被遺棄和內疚之后，“我”穿上球鞋去呼吸一些新鮮空氣。在開車到一個斜坡之后，我決定自己走完街道。幾個月之前，我試了而且痛苦地失敗了，在第一次嘗試之后，我一直在慢跑，但是這一次我成功地輕松到達站臺，而且發(fā)現(xiàn)我可以走得更遠一點。后來“我”很想放棄，但是 “我”一直堅持下去了，讓自己更快，更好，更加強壯。后來發(fā)現(xiàn)，我竟然用31分鐘，跑完4.9公里�！拔摇弊隽艘郧皬膩聿粫�做的事情，那是“我”人生的第一次長跑。

1. weeks ago, I had a quarrel with my husband .可知：使作者感到內疚的是她和丈夫吵架了。故答案是She had a quarrel with her husband

2. had tried a few months ago and failed miserably.意思是：幾個月之前我嘗試了，但是痛苦地失敗了。因此幾個月前，使作者痛苦地沒有能夠做到的事是沒有能夠慢跑道街道的盡頭。故答案是：She failed to jog to the end of the street

3. one would be disappointed. No one would even know.可知：作者給自己停下來的借口是，沒有人會失望，也沒有人會知道。故答案是：No one would be disappointed or even know

4. normally jog because I want to look good. I want to run because it makes me feel good.可知慢跑和跑步對于作者的不同之處是：慢跑能夠讓作者看起來更好，而跑步卻能夠讓作者感覺很好。故答案是：Running makes her feel good while jogging makes her look good
