Marathon

The modern Athens Marathon commemorates the run of the soldier Pheidippides from a battlefield at the site of the town of Marathon, Greece, to Athens in 490 B.C., bringing news of a Greek victory over the Persians. Legend has it that Pheidippides delivered the momentous message "Niki!" ("victory"), then collapsed and died, thereby setting a precedent for dramatic conclusions to the marathon.

Today, marathons have become a running tradition throughout the world. Yet the annual Marathon at Athens, where it all began, has a tradition and an appeal like no other. In 1996, the 100th anniversary of the modern Athens Marathon, more than 3,000 runners from every part of the world gathered to run in the footsteps of Pheidippides.

• Wylie placed second at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in 1988, 1990, and 1992. He won the silver medal at the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, France. The medal was considered a major upset. Wylie had never finished higher than ninth at the World Figure Skating Championships — four years prior — and had skated such a poor performance at the U.S. Championships immediately prior to the games that reporters questioned his placement on the Olympic team. The USFSA had even left Wylie off the team for the 1992 World Championships, naming Mark Mitchell in his place.

What was people’s reflection when Paul stepped off the plane? Para. 1

• clap

applaud

What was Paul’s response?

1) almost stopped in his tracks

2) wondered: who’s behind him?

2) Reporters covering the ’91 Olympic Trials questioned:” What are you doing here?” (Paul target of loaded questions )

: incapable of finishing ahead of U.S. National Champion Todd Eldredge;

three-time defending World Champion Kurt Browning of Canada

2) He was a young man who had discovered and demonstrated that goals can be reached no matter how many obstacles and botched attempts lie in the way.

2) 这个年轻人相信：不管前进途中有多少困难，他都会实现他的梦想。


He was a young man who believed that he will fulfill his dream no matter how many difficulties lie in the way.

2. hang in there

3. have a shot

Losing WeightLosing Weight

Rather than "going on a diet", think of it as a whole lifestyle change with losing weight being part of the result. A lifestyle you can happily continue once at goal weight. Exercise is crucial -- not only for weight loss -- but for general health. It doesn't have to be going to a gym -- try to find something you enjoy -- gardening, rambling. Only a small amount of extra activity can make a tremendous difference.
