1．A widow's wish to hear her late husband's voice again has pushed London's Subway system to restore a 40-year-old recording of the subway's famous " Mind the gap" announcement．
The underground，or the tube，first opened in 1863，tracked down the voice recording by Oswald Lawrence after his widow，Margaret McCollum，told them what it meant to her．
McCollum，65，said she used to frequently visit Embankment tube station or plan her journeys around the stop to listen to Lawrence's voice，even before his death．She was taken aback in November when she noticed it had been replaced by a different voice．
"Lawrence was a drama school graduate when he auditioned （試音） for a tour company．For six years after his death，I'd stay on the platform-just sit and listen to it again，" she added．
When Margaret approached the tube，she was told it had a new broadcast system and it couldn't use the old recording anymore．
Nigel Holness，director of London Underground，said its staff has been so moved by McCollum's story that they dug up the recording and gave the widow a copy of the announcement on a CD for her to keep． "Tube staff is also working to restore Lawrence's announcement at the station，" he added． "It is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year．The tube's 'Mind the gap' messages，voiced by various actors，have accompanied countless London commuter journeys since the 1960s．Train drivers and staff made the warnings themselves before that．"
"I'm very pleased that people are interested in Oswald's old recording，" Margaret said． "He was a great London transport user all his life．He would be amused，touched，and delighted to know he's back where he belonged．"

2．My First Marathon（馬拉松 ） A month before my first marathon，one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks，leaving me only two weeks to train.Yet，I was determined to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school.In my first P.E.jye.ai，the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball.I didn't do either well.He later informed me that I was"not athletic".
The idea that I was "not athletic" stuck with me for years.When I started running in my 30s，I realized running was a battle against myself，not about competition or whether or not I was athletic.It was all about the battle against my own body and mind.A test of wills !
The night before my marathon，I dreamt that I couldn't even find the finish line.I woke up sweating and nervous，but ready to prove something to myself.
Shortly after crossing the start line，my shoe laces （鞋帶） became untied.So I stopped to readjust.Not the start I wanted!
At mile 3，I passed a sign："GO FOR IT，RUNNERS!" By mile 17，I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly.Despite the pain，1 stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
By mile 21，1 was starving!
As I approached mile 23，I could see my wife waving a sign.She is my biggest fan.She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m.jye.ai questioned my expenses on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish.But I finished !And I got a medal.In fact，I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.
Determined to be myself，move forward，free of shame and worldly labels（世俗標(biāo)簽 ），I can now call myself a "marathon winner".

A．was well trained

A．To acknowledge the support of his teacher.
B．To amuse the readers with a funny story.
C．To show he was not talented in sports.
D．To share a precious memory.
（3）How was the author's first marathon？
A．He made it.
B．He gave up halfway.
C．He got the first prize.
D．He walked to the end.
（4）What does the story mainly tell us？
A．A man owes his success to his family support.

D．One is never too old to learn.組卷：9引用：2難度：0.4

3．Do you want to be at the top of your class？Add these tips to your life and you should be on your way to being a top student？
（1）I cannot stress how important it is to pay attention to what your teacher is teaching you.Take part in class discussions if you have something worthwhile to add.Pay attention during class，especially during lectures.
Taking notes is important.You don't need to write down every word your teacher says but write down what he/she writes on the board，or any special fact you think you might need for a test.（2）This way it will help you learn more effectively by actually thinking about what you are writing.
Don't skip school.You will missing out on stuff.（3）However，you will have more work and you have missed lectures and in-class movies.Also，tot to be late for class.It's most likely that your teachers won't appreciate it and you will get yourself behind.
（4）If you have an "I don't care about school or this class" attitude，then teachers will be less willing to help you with problem or offer you extra credit.The same goes for lazy attitude.Have a respectful attitude to the teacher and other students.Try not to laugh when other students make a mistake.
Always ask questions.（5）If you don't understand，ask someone.Read your textbook and notes，and then if that fails，seek help.Ask a teacher，friend，classmate，parent，etc.Get a tutor if you need one.
A.Be prepared.
B.Write in your own words.
C.Keep a good attitude toward things.
D.Staying organized will be helpful.
E.There is no shame in needing some help.
F.It is true that you could make up the work.
G.Pay attention to everything the teacher says.組卷：2引用：1難度：0.4
