The battle was followed by a terrible storm．Therefore, it wasn’t until October 26 that Vice-Admiral(海军中将)Collingwood was 1 to send off his report to Britain 2 the victory and Nelson’s death．
He chose 3 the task one of the smallest ships in his fleet, Pickle, 4 by Captain Lapenotiere．In spite of 5 winds and rough seas, Pickle made the 6 of more than 1000 miles in just over eight days, 7 Falmouth on the morning of November 4．
From there, Captain Lapenotiere 8 a fast post chaise(轻便马车)to London, traveling 9 for 37 hours．He reached the Admiralty in Whitehall at 1∶00 a. m. on Wednesday, November 6－less than 11 days ?after he had 10 Collingwood．
Most of the officials had gone to bed 11 , but the secretary was still 12 in the famous Board Room．Lapenotiere hurried in and 13 the report with the simple words：“Sir, we have gained a great victory．But we have 14 Lord Nelson．”
Copies of the report were quickly made and 15 to the Prime Minister and King George Ⅲ．A special edition of a 16 was rushed out and delivered all over the country．
The atmosphere of public 17 for the victory was weakened by widespread sorrow for the 18 of Nelson．As one poet later wrote：“The victory of Trafalgar was 19 indeed, with the usual forms of rejoicing(欢庆), 20 they were without joy．”

The annual marathon in my town usually occurs during a heat wave．My job was to follow behind the runners in an ambulance 1 any of them needed medical attention．
“We are supposed to stay behind the 2 runner, so take it slowly,” I said to the driver, Doug, as the race started．
The front-runners started to 3 and then my eyes were 4 to the woman in blue silk running shorts and a loose white T-shirt．
We knew we were already watching our “last runner”．Her 5 were so crippled that it seemed almost impossible for her to be able to walk, 6 alone run a marathon．
Doug and I 7 in silence as she slowly moved forward． 8 , she was the only runner left in sight．Tears streamed down my face when I watched with awe(敬畏) 9 she pushed forward with great 10 through the last mile．
When the finish line came into sight, rubbish lay everywhere and the 11 crowds had long gone home． 12 , standing straight and ever so proud 13 a lone man．He was 14 one end of a ribbon of crepe paper(皱纹纸) 15 to a post．She slowly crossed though, leaving both ends of the paper fluttering(飘扬)behind her．
I do not know this woman’s name, but that day she became a part of my 16 －a part I often depend on．For her, it wasn’t about 17 the other runners or winning a prize, it was about 18 what she had set out to do, no matter 19 ．When I think things are too difficult or I get those “I-just-can’t-do-it”, I think of the last runner．Then I realize how 20 the task before me really is．
