  It was an early September day,cool and bright and just right for running,and I was in the first few miles of a 10 mile race over a course with a few high hills,  1  ,I felt energetic;despite the hills,it going to be a   2   run.

  Just ahead of me was Peggy,a teacher from Mount Kisco.She was too running   3  ,moving along at my speed.The pace felt comfortable,so I decided to   4   where I was.Why pay attention to pace when she was setting such a good one?I'd overtake her   5   when she was tired.

  So I ran behind her,The course   6   north for five miles,wandered west for a hilly mile,then turned south again along a winding road.The race was getting   7  .We had four miles   8   and already it was beginning to be real work.

  Peggy overtook a young runner.She seemed to   9   him,for they exchanged a few cheerful words as she passed him.Their exchange   10   me.

You don't chat during a race   11   you are feeling good and Peggy plainly was.

  Sill,I was   12   enough to overtake her if she was tired,so I didn't give up hope completely.We were getting nearer to a tong,punishing hill now and it would be the   13  .We were a mile from tile finish line,  14   whatever happened on the hill would almost certainly determine who crossed it first.

  As I moved up the hill,my   15   wandered for a few minutes.When I   16  ,Peggy was moving away— first five yards,then ten,then more.Finally it was clear that there was no   17   of catching her.She beat me soundly.

  There is an important   18   in that race,Women are thought to be weaker,slower and not nearly   19   skilled in sport.Yet as Peggy so clearly showed,the similarities between men and women runners are more important than the differences.I have run with   20   women,and I can say that it is often hard work.

  More than I realized, Dad has helped me keep my balance.

  When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father.He was severely disabled and very   1  , and when we walked together, his hand on my arm for   2  , people would stare.I would inwardly feel uncomfortable at the unwanted   3  .If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never   4   that he knew.

  It was   5   to coordinate(调整)our steps-his hesitant, mine impatient-and because of that, we didn’t   6   much as we went along.But as we started out, he always said, “You set the   7  .I will try to follow you.”

  Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was   8   he got to work.He went to work despite illnesses and nasty weather.He almost never missed a day and would   9   it to the office   10   others couldn’t.A matter of pride.

  He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or   11  .What he looked for   12   others was a “good heart” and if he found one, the   13   was good enough for him.

  Now that I am older, I believe that his idea is a proper   14   by which to judge people, even though I   15   don’t know exactly what a “good heart” is.  16   I know the times when I don’t have one myself.

  He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often.I wonder if he   17   I was unwilling to be seen with him during our   18  .Now I am sorry that I never told him how sorry I was for my feeling   19   to be with him in public and how unworthy I felt to be his daughter.I think of him when I complain about trifles(something unimportant), when I am envious of another’s good fortune, and when I don’t possess a“good heart”.

  At such times I put my hand on his arm to   20   my balance, and say, “You set the pace.I will try to follow you.”

Explosive sound and energy

  ROCK music didn’t exist 60 years ago.  1   Someone didn’t just wake up and invent rock.So, how did it happen? What is rock?Although impossible to strictly define, it’s generally recognized that rock music was born in 1950s America.  2   At this time, early “rockers”were mixing the country music of white America with the rhythm and blues sound loved by the black US citizens.The result was rock‘n’ roll.The record most commonly considered as the beginning of the rock ‘n’ roll period is Bill Haley & The Comets’1954 recording of “Rock Around the Clock”.  3   Elvis’s 1950s recordings established the basic language of rock ‘n’ roll; his explosive stage presence set standards for the music’s visual image, while his voice was powerful and interesting.

    4   Despite the different directions and sound of rock bands over the last 50 years, there is something common to all the greats:a charming lead vocalist, a talented guitarist full of energy and creativity, a bassist with cool indifference and a drummer.

  For most of its life, rock has been split into different parts, creating new styles every few years-giving birth to a never-ending number of sub-genres.  5  Rock is a generic term, but it’s exciting that it can now mean so many different things.

A.Rock is my favorite and I’ll be a popular singer.

B.Now, it’s one of the world’s most popular genres.But musical styles don’t spring up overnight.

C.Rock had a specific sound and image for only a few of its early years.As time went by, the genre began to place equal emphasis on skills and pushing the boundaries of the music.

D.In fact, in the West, musically speaking, the years 1953~1955 are known as the rock ‘n’ roll years.

E.As a result, “rock”has been used to describe everything from bands playing catchy rhythms to groups based on tuneless, noisy guitars.

F.Rock music will be held in our school if we send an invitation to the band.

G.But it was Elvis Presley, known as “The King of Rock and Roll”, who really popularized the new sound throughout America and the Western world.
