11.Running for a Dream
I will never forget that November day.It was hotter than normal.This was the (36)D my father and I had waited so long for,because we had been working towards this race for three years.Dozens of familiar faces from church and school flashed across my view.They had come (37)A me.I saw worry and (38)C on my father's face.Then the race began!
For the first two and a half miles.I felt(39)B.I had never before been so ready for something.The weeks leading up to the race were filled with controlled(40)D and a strict diet.My friends hadn't seen me in weeks,but they understood the (41)A required to make my dream a reality.As in all of my races,I didn't (42)C out in the front,I loved the pleasure of passing people as my strength overtook their premature speed.
Then without warning,my strength began to decrease.Neck and neck with one of my greatest competitors,I (43)B see the finish line.I had begun the final dash into (44)D when my knees became weak and my legs gave way.Nothing I could do would make them (45)C weight.
I watched as runners rushed by me.(46)D I knew my dreams of victory were destroyed.I had to finish the race.However,my legs hurt badly.With all of the (47)C left in me,I got on my hands and knees and crawled (爬),inch by inch,across the finish line.Voices,both (48)B and familiar,cheered me on.They gave me the courage to keep (49)A until the very end.
The doctors were there in seconds,but my eyes searched the crowd for him.There was only one person I wanted to (50)B to.I whispered,"I'm so sorry,Dad,I'm so sorry I (51)C you."He looked at me,saying,"You could never disappoint me.Sometimes these things just (52)D.All that matters is that you did your best."
"But we worked so (53)B.What about our dream?"He reached over for my hand and said,"Don't you know that you are my dream and it has come true?"
It wasn't long before my running shoes were back on,marking a(54)A path for my journey,I learned that all of the miles,the tears,the sweat,and the pain my dad and I experienced together were not for a(55)D.What I realized,though,was that to him,I was the greatest prize he had ever won.

7.I love a good murder mystery.It is so(41)Dto watch or read an exciting and interesting detective story and try to solve the (42)Cyourself.Agatha Christie is undoubtedly queen of the detective story considering she (43)Bover eighty books.Many people have fallen in love with her (44)A-----Hercule Poirot,a famous Belgian detective and Miss Marple,an old lady who is also an amateur(45)B.
As I am a big (46)Cof Agatha Christie,I was excited to (47)Dher house in Devon called Greenway.I travelled to her(48)Aby steam train.We went through a dark tunnel and there was lots of smoke.It was a (49)Asetting for a murder like in her famous novel Murder on the Orient Express.(50)B,all the passengers arrived safely!
After a pleasant walk through the woods,I (51)Cthe splendid house.I did a tour and I loved seeing where she wrote her (52)D.Many first editions were on display in a revolving(旋转的)bookcase.However,my (53)Dpart of the estate(房产) was the boathouse.There was a lovely view of the river (54)Cthe boathouse also served a more special purpose---inspiration for a crime (55)D.In the Poirot novel,Dead Man's Folly,a girl's body is(56)Cin the boathouse.They even (57)Bthe TV adaptation of the book at Greenway.
I really (58)Amy visit to Greenway.It was such a (59)Bplace and I was interested in seeing where Agatha Christie was(60)Ato write so many exciting stories.
