And now for the weather report for the following 72 hours. The national weather map shows a high-pressure area all along the eastern coastline, which will bring them very pleasant, sunny weather from New York to Florida. But showers and thunderstorms are happening from the Ohio River all the way south to the gulf coast, pouring down heavy amounts of rain over Southern states. By far the worst of the storms has happened in and around Texas. Some Texas stations have reported up to fifteen inches of rain in a 24-hour period with high winds and thunderstorms. Two typhoons were reported along the Gulf coast of Texas, but we haven’t got the exact information about any damage or injuries. Heavy amounts of snow were reported in the Rocky Mountain area with record cold temperatures in Denver and Boulder. As much as a foot of snow has fallen in some of the mountain stations. In contrast, temperatures in Arizona and the desert Southwest went over the 100-degree mark again under bright, sunny skies.

A trail of hot springs dot the northern Kapong District. For tree worshipers, it's a site best described as awesome.

If you've heard about the trading routes of the Thai south and the Malay peninsula, you will notice a remnant of this direct link between Phuket (普吉) and Phang Nga (攀牙). 7 the major trading hub of Phang Nga in the old days, the district of Takua Pa boasts a small but untainted stretch of an old Sino-English community. These original century-old shophouses are “so authentic” here a local told me, it can overwhelm Phuket people with nostalgia.

However, the town centre of Phang Nga is not Takua Pa, though. The story has it 8 back in 1809, the Siam-Burmese wars drove people down to Phang Nga bayhence the new settlement that has now become the province's municipal seat.

Driving through the town's small parallel streets and looking up, one can only marvel at Mother Nature. Perpetual rain and misty mornings to virtual greenness --- Phang Nga people will ensure you get all that.

【题目】My First Marathon(马拉松)

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. class, 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(鞋带)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, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.

By mile 21, I 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. or 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(世俗标签),I can now call myself a “marathon winner".

1A month before the marathon, the author .

A.was well trainedB.felt scared

C.made up his mind to runD.lost hope

3What does the story mainly tell us?

A.A man owes his success to his family support.

B.A winner is one with a great effort of will.

C.Failure is the mother of success.

D.One is never too old to learn.
