题目内容

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(佣人). 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. With the money    47  , you can have all the Italian knit shirts you want.” I was very    48   with that arrangement but once I got through allocating(分配)money, there was   49   left. 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.

I tend to accept any idea put forward by experts on TV. One day, a sociologist proposed that the   31  society has been consuming modern humans little by little. For fear that I would become a victim of the consumer society, I   32  hurried to a bicycle shop in my neighborhood.   33  the shopkeeper Mr. Johnson was selling me the bicycle, he said, “This is the best thing you   34  have done. Life has become hopelessly   35  . A bicycle is simple, and it brings to you   36  things: fresh air, sunshine and exercise.” I agreed. Happy as a child, I got on the bicycle and headed out onto the streets. After some time, I   37   at the other end of the town. I was   38   that this simple vehicle could let me   39   long distances in a fairly short time. But how   40  did I really go?
Since I hated to be   41  , I went back to Mr. Johnson and asked him to   42  an odometer (里程表) on my bicycle. He agreed, but   43  , “An odometer without a speedometer (速度计) is like a   44  without a knife.” I admitted he was right and in a few minutes, the two devices (装置) were   45  to the handlebars of my bicycle. “What about a horn?” he then asked. “Look, this horn is no larger than a matchbox and has many   46  .” Attracted by these functions, I bought the horn.
“You can’t leave the back part   47  ,” noted Mr. Johnson. He fixed a metal box with buttons   48  the seat, and said, “Is there anything better than this oven when you feel   49   on your way? I can give you a special discount.” I was not strong enough to   50   the offer.
“I congratulate you once more; this is the best thing you could have done,” said Mr. Johnson in the end.

Last year, my boyfriend suggested that I should run the London marathon(马拉松), 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(业余爱好者).
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(弯道)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!
