11.Nearing the age of 101has not slowed down one Japanese woman.In fact,in the swimming pool-she is only getting faster.
Recently,a 100-year-old Japanese woman became the world's first centenarian to complete a 1,500-meter freestyle swimming competition in a 25-meter poo1.
Her name is Mieko Nagaoka.Ms.Nagaoka set a world record for her age group at a recent Japan Masters Swimming Association event in the western city of Matsuyama.She swam the race in 1hour,15minutes and 54seconds.
By comparison,the overall female world record holder completed the same distance in just under 15and a half minutes.But that swimmer,Katie Ledecky,is only 17years old.And Ms.Nagao.ka was not competing against her.In fact,Ms.Nagaoka was the only competitor in the 100-104year old category.Her race was not a race of speed but of endurance,or not giving up.
Breaking swimming records is nothing new to Ms.Nagaoka.So far she has broken 25records.But she began competing when she was much younger-at 88.
Ms.Nagaoka sufferred a knee injury in her 80s,so she began swimming to help her body recover.Since her first international swimming competition,she hasn't looked back,except maybe to see if her competition is catching up.
In 2002.at a masters swim meet in New Zealand,Ms.Nagaoka took the bronze medal in the 50-meter backstroke.In 2004,she won three silver medals at an Italian swim meet.
Masters swimming is a special class of competitive swimming to promote health and friendship among participants.Swimmers compete within age groups of five years.
Japan has a large number of people who live beyond 100years old.Until she passed away this month,the oldest person in the world was also from Japan.Misao Okawa was born in 1 898.She said her secrets for longevity,or long life,were good genes,regular sleep,sushi and exercise.

17.Susie May Isaacs,my great-grandmother,was a beautiful woman,both in person and in spirit. She was born in a boat in Western Oklahoma.During the eleven years I knew her I received the gifts of witnessing determination,courage,love and perseverance.Ma lost her leg when she was 83due to poor circulation and was told she would be in a wheelchair the rest of her life.The doctors were astonished when she left the hospital using a cane and had named her new wooden leg"Peggy".
In 1982 Ma had a heart attack and was diagnosed with heart failure.During the weeks she was in ICU( 加护病房),the hospital did not allow children to visit.Ma became very upset and refused to eat until she was allowed to see her sixteen great-grandchildren.
We all had received bibles from her as babies which were filled with clippings (剪报) of jokes and stories.When we saw Ma,she gave us all 5dollars.With the help of our parents we bought 16 new bibles for her to sign and fill with her clippings.None expected her to be able to sign them all before she passed away.But we all underestimated (低估) her courage and strength when she was released from her"death bed"to go home and began her task of love.During her last month she signed all the bibles and gave them to us filled with clippings and hand written poems.
Many years before Ma's death she had told her friends she would die on a Sunday so she could meet her Lord when he wasn't so busy.She had a massive heart attack on Thursday afternoon.She endured eight heart attacks between then and Sunday morning at six when she went on to meet her Lord.
I believe the few short years when I was blessed with the company of that wonderful woman who helped me to be strong during the rough times and perseverance.The constant love,laughter and courage I saw from Ma is what I remember most from a woman have met sufferings with a smile on her face and her head held high.
