10、The annual marathon usually occurred during a heat wave. My job was to  l  behind the runners in an ambulance   2   any of them needed medical attention. The driver and I were in an air-conditioned ambulance behind approximately one hundred athletes   3   to hear the sharp crack of the starting gun.

"We are supposed to stay behind the   4    runner，so take it slowly,” I said to the driver, Doug, as we began to creep forward.

"Let’s   5   hope all the runners are safe!” he laughed.

As they began to pace themselves，the front runners started to   6   . It was then that my  7    were drawn to the woman in blue silk running shorts and a baggy white T-shirt.

"Doug, look！”

We knew we were already watching our “last runner". Her feet were turned in，yet her left knee was turned out. Her legs were so crippled and    8   that it seemed impossible for her to be able to walk，let alone run a marathon.

Doug and I watched in    9   as she slowly moved forward．We didn’t say a thing. We would move forward a little bit，then stop and wait for her to   10    some distance. Then we'd slowly move forward a little bit more.

Finally，she was the  11    runner left in sight. Tears streamed down my face as I sat on the edge of my seat and watched with awe, amazement and even reverence（敬意）as she   12   forward with sheer determination through the last miles.

When the   13   line came into sight, trash（垃圾）lay everywhere and the  14  crowds had long gone home.   15   ，standing straight and ever so proud waited a man. He was   36    one end of a ribbon（带子）of crepe paper tied to a post.   17  slowly crossed through，leaving both ends of the paper fluttering behind her.

I do not   18   this woman’s name，but that day she became a part of my life---a part I often depend on. For her，it wasn't about   19    the other runners or winning a trophy（奖品），it was about finishing what she had set out to do, no matter   20   . When I think things are too difficult or too time-consuming，I get those "I-just-can't-do-it"，I think of the last runner. Then I realize how easy the task before me really is.

9、GOLDEN, British Columbia (AP)---A 3-year-old girl found alive in the upside down wreckage（残骸）of an airplane survived because she was strapped in a car seat, rescuers said. They said they knew she was OK when she cried for her teddy bear.

Sunday's crash killed Kate Williams' pilot-grandfather, Allen D．Williams, 65, and another passenger, authorities said. The plane was found nose down and turned over in the icy water at the edge of a riverbank in the mountains of southeast British Columbia.

"What saved her life was being strapped into that car seat," said Mike Plonka, a member of the search-and-rescue team. "You could see that she was very frightened. Her big concern at the time was her little teddy bear. She didn't want to leave without it...” "She was just pointing at it and calling it ‘Baby’.” he said Monday. The girl suffered head injuries but was reported as stable, hospital officials in Golden said. She was reunited with her parents.

Police said the Cessna 172 was on its way to Edmonton when it took off from Golden around 1 pm Sunday into low clouds and snow. Visibility（能见度）was poor. An hour later, the Search and Rescue Centre in Victoria picked up the plane's emergency signal from somewhere near the Blaeberry River.

A team using a hand-held beacon locator（定位器）found the wreckage, and two military search and rescue technicians--Sgt. Scott Elliston and Master Cpl. Bruno Lapointe---landed nearby in a helicopter. As they checked for survivors, they discovered the girl alive but surrounded by debris（残骸）in the back of the plane. The two soldiers tried to remove her from the wreckage, but she made it clear she didn't want to leave without her teddy bear.

"I got her out and I handed her to Bruno. She was calling out for her teddy bear. I picked up the teddy bear to give it to her but it was covered with snow. She wasn't too happy that it was covered with snow so I brushed it off.＂Elliston said.

Williams was CEO and founder of Edmonton-based A．D．Williams Engineering Inc. The passenger who was killed, Steven T. Sutton, was chief financial officer. The two had been attending a business meeting in Golden. The cause of the accident was under investigation.
