Chilean rescued miner Edison Pena ran the New York City Marathon on November 7th , less than a month after he was rescued from a collapsed (坍塌的) mine that trapped him and the other 32 miners for 69 days. Pena ran 10 km daily through the mine’s tunnels (巷道) to beat the anxiety, wearing cut-down boots until rescuers sent him a pair of sports shoes through a narrow hole that served as the miners’ “lifeline” to the surface.
“When I ran in the darkness, I was running for life,” Pena told a news conference in New York. “I was running to show that I wasn’t just waiting around. I also wanted God to see that I really wanted to live.” The miners were discovered alive on August 22---17 days after the mine collapsed, but it took many more days for rescuers to dig a hole big enough to bring them out.
The New York Road Runners, which organizes the marathon, had invited Edison Pena to the event after hearing his story. They thought he could ride in the lead vehicle or hold the finish line tape, but Pena said last week he did not want to watch, he wanted to run. “I was very eager to take on this big challenge,” he said. “I wanted to show the world I could run.” He hoped to run the 26.2-mile race in about six hours. “I have a knee injury, but I am eager to cross the finish line,” he said. 
An Elvis Presley fan who asked rescuers to send the singer’s music down into the mine, Pena broke into song at the news conference with the Presley hit Return to Sender.

Genius, in Roman mythology(神话)，a protecting, or guardian, spirit．It was believed that every individual, family, and city had its own genius．The genius received special worship as a household god because it was thought to bestow(给予)success and intellectual powers on its devotees．For this reason, the word came to designate a person with unusual intellectual powers．The genius of a woman was sometimes referred to as a juno．In art, the genius of a person was frequently depicted(描述)as a winged youth; the genius of a place, as a serpent．
Recently, scientists have discovered that in the human brain exists a “genius button”(天才按钮)．Once the button is pushed, an ordinary person may have some special talent for arithmetic, music, sports and so on．Though it hasn't come true yet, many people are arguing about it．Some people think it a good idea and want to have a try, while others strongly object to it．
What is your opinion?Do you want to turn into a genius?
Albert：In my opinion, such a “button” can do a lot of good．It may help us to develop our abilities so that we can make new discoveries．As a result, we could solve many problems and have a more comfortable life．I could become skilled at science, art or economics(经济)．
Andy：I don't know whether such a “button” is good or not for us．It sounds attractive but I'm afraid it's hard to put it into practice．
Christian：I do think it's a great discovery．If possible, I am eager to become a genius．But I would make sure this “button” couldn't do me any harm before turning it on．
Eric：I would just like to be a normal person．As far as I know, some talented people are strange．They may be good at one thing but not talented in other areas．
Simon：If more people became geniuses, it may lead to an increase in high-tech crime(犯罪)，such as stealing money through the Internet and creating harmful computer viruses．It is hard to imagine what the world would be like if all the criminals were very clever．
Roy：Although it is convenient, I don't think its right to become cleverer in this way．If someone wants to be successful in maths or art, he or she should work hard．I believe success requires hard work as well as natural gifts．
