I got married in 2008. My husband and I are very emotional and have loads of dreams in life. Now I want to share a hidden part of my life.
After one month of my marriage, I started working because I could not sit home. To accomplish our dreams, we are both working hard day and night in spite of belonging to a good family. Life is very strange. When any turn happens, one cannot know.
I started working because I was very ambitious. I used to wonder about people who worked to earn their bread but I never knew in my wildest dreams that I would be part of the crow who work to earn a livelihood.
I was blessed with a daughter in November, 2009. She was just three months and 15 days old when I rejoined my job. My husband supported me and my family supported me but I never wanted to work again because I belonged to a family where a mother should give her full attention to her child.
Keeping all the values aside that I learnt from my parents, I went back to work and will work till my last breath.
I missed my daughter every second. She has started recognizing and throwing expressions for likes and dislikes. I cannot share my feelings with anyone, as I do not want anyone to know that I am broken completely from inside.
My husband and my daughter are my greatest strength but I ignore them just to earn money and fulfill my dreams that I have.
If one day, my daughter complains to someone about her mom, please tell her that she is my reason for survival and happiness and she is the only one who brings smile to my face.

The simplest way to say it is this: I believe in my mother. My belief began when I was just a kid, who 36 becoming a doctor.
My mother was a domestic（傭人）. Through her work, she observed that 37 people spent a lot more time reading than they 38 watching television. She announces that my brother and I 39 watch two to three pre-selected programs during the week. With our 40 time, we had to read two books each from the Detroit Public Library and 41 written book reports to her. She would mark them up with check marks and highlights. Years later we realized her marks were a 42 . My mother was illiterate（文盲）.
When I entered high school, I was a 43 student, but not for long. I began to like fancy clothes. I wanted to 44 other guys. I went from an A-student to a B-student to a C-student. One night my mother came home from her various jobs and I 45 about not having enough Italian knit shirts. She said, “Okay, I’ll give you all the money I 46 this week scrubbing floors and cleaning bathrooms, and you can buy the family food and pay the bills.

I realized my mother was a financial genius（金融天才）to be able to keep the roof over our heads and any kind of food on the table, let alone buy 50 . I really realized my desire wasn’t going to get me 51 . Success requires intellectual preparation. I went back to my 52 and became an A-student again and eventually I 53 my dream and I became a doctor.
My story is really my mother’s story—a woman with 54 formal education who used her position as a parent to change the lives of her children. There is no job 55 than parenting. This I believe.

Last year, my boyfriend suggested that I should run the London marathon(馬拉松), and I laughed. He laughed too, but he laughed too long and too loud. That made me think. I realized that he didn't believe that I could do it. That made me angry, and determined, Now he knows that I can!
Training wasn't easy, but I kept going. I didn't need special training but I did need to buy very good shoes. Each day, I went a little further. By the end of three months, I was running five days a week. Some- times in the evenings I ran 10 km； on Sunday mornings, I sometimes ran about 30 kin. I used to come home, have a shower and eat my breakfast. I felt wonderful!
On the day of the race in London, I lined up with about 30,000 other runners. The faster runners were at the front, while slower runners like me were placed further back. In that way, the professional runners and club runners were not slowed down by the amateurs(業(yè)余愛好者).
At first, there were so many runners close together that we were almost falling over each other. We could only run very slowly but that was a good thing because it meant that we didn't rush off too quickly. Gradually the runners spread out and there was more space. There were thousands of people watching us along the route and they cheered and clapped everyone, even the slowest runner. It was wonderful!
For the first 10 km I felt very happy and my legs felt very comfortable. However, at 15 km I got a pain in my side and running became difficult, but I kept going and the pain disappeared. At the 30 km mark, I felt extremely tired, and wanted to stop, but I kept on going. I covered another 3 km and then I began to feel better again.
By the time I reached the 35 km mark, I knew I was going to get to the end of the course. Somehow that confidence made me feel lighter and faster and it seemed as if my legs flew over the last few kilometers. I passed hundreds of slower runners, some of whom had passed me earlier, and I felt wonderful! AS I came round the last bend(彎道)and saw the finishing line, I could see three runners ahead of me. I raced past all of them to finish the race in just under four hours. The winner had completed the race in 2 hours and 10 minutes, but I didn't care! I had run 42 km and completed my first marathon!
72. The writer's boyfriend laughed at her because .
A. he thought she could run the marathon
B. he .didn't think she could run the marathon
C. he wanted her to run the marathon
D. she wanted to run the marathon
73. When the race began .

C. all the runners were asked to run slowly
D. the professional runners and club runners ran very fast
74. The hardest time for the writer was when she
A. had run for 15 kilometers
B. got a pain in her side
C. reached the 30 kilometer mark
D. was about to reach the finish line
75. The passage suggests that it is better to start a long race slowly .

B. than to run too fast at the beginning
C. than to run slowly at the end
D. than to run very fast all the time
