　　One of the most important events in the modern Olympic Games is the Marathon race．The race came from one of the great events in Greek history．

　　In 490 B．C．about 10,000 Greeks fought 　　1　　 the Persian (波斯人的) army at a place called Marathon．It is said that the Persians were ten times as many as the Greeks．But, with the brave attack of the Greeks, the Persians were badly beaten and 　　2　　 away from the plain (平原) of Marathon．When the Persians had run away a soldier, who was the most famous runner in Athens, was ordered to carry the good news to the city 　　3　　 full speed．

　　Although he had fought through the battle and received many wounds, the soldier at once started off towards the 　　4　　 city．It was twenty-six and a quarter miles 　　5　　 the plain of Marathon to the marketplace of Athens, 　　6　　 the elders of Athens had gathered (聚集) waiting for news．He ran and ran over hills and 　　7　　 plains．As he went on, his lips became dry and his breathing hard．But he thought of the 　　8　　 of the people of Athens on hearing the news, and he ran harder than ever．

　　The elders of Athens heard a great shout and saw a soldier 　　9　　 towards them．“Rejoice!Rejoice!We won!” gasped the soldier, and he fell down 　　10　　．

　　In honor of this noble soldier and athlete, we have in the modern Olympic Games the Marathon race, in which the athletes run this same distance．

　　In the primary school(小学)，how should the teacher make students 　　1　　 in the classroom?Issitting in rows 　　2　　 than sitting in groups?

　　In the last 30 years or so, scientists have thought about these questions．They think that sitting in rows is not very useful to children．Children can learn 　　3　　 and better when they sit around a table in a group．They can also learn to get along 　　4　　 others and exchange ideas．

　　That sounds quite right．But someone doesn’t think so．British Professor Nigel Hastings says that children work 　　5　　 better in the old fashioned(老式的)way than sitting around in groups．They waste 　　6　　 time talking when they are placed in groups．When they are made to sit in rows, they pay more attention 　　7　　 their work．Most children don’t do the work with 　　8　　 children when they sit in groups．The naughtiest(最调皮的)children even won’t do it．But if they are made to sit in rows, they Will double their efforts．

　　So, what do you think of the way of sitting?Who do you agree 　　9　　 , or do you have 　　10　　 new ideas?
