Module 3 Foreign Food Adventure in Literature and the Cinema (建议用时35分钟). 阅读理解AWhen I was a teenager I volunteered to work at the water station at a 10, 000m race. My job was to hand out water to the runners, I remember being so excited to see all the different kinds of people who passed by and grabbed(抓起)a cup of water. Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled past. I saw so many types of people doing it. I thought maybe I could do it too! So the next year I signed up for the race. That first 10, 000m race was quite an experience. I jogged, I walked, I jogged and I walked. At times, I didnt know if I could finish. Then came a defining(决定性的)moment. At one point near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me, very very fast, and I felt embarrassed that I was 50 years younger than he but I couldnt even keep up with him. I felt defeated for a second. But then I realized something. He was running his race and I was running mine. He had different abilities, experience, training and goals for himself. I had mine. Remember my goal was only to finish. After a minute, it hit me that this was a lesson I could draw from. I learned something about myself at that moment. I turned my embarrassment into inspiration. I decided that I would not give up running races. In fact, I would run even more races and I would learn how to train and prepare properly and one day I would be one of those 70-year-olds who were still running. As I crossed the finish line, I was proud of my accomplishment. In life we all have those moments when we compare ourselves with others. Its only natural. Dont allow those moments to weaken you. Turn them into motivation and let them inspire you. Use them to show you what is possible. Every struggle is rich in opportunities. You define your own race when you define your own goals. With the proper preparation and training, you can improve your results to achieve anything you want in life. 【文章大意】本文讲述的是在我们的人生中, 会有很多与别人进行比较的时刻。我们要让这些比较成为激励我们成功的例子, 而不应该让这些比较削弱我们的能力。1.

Will once wrote: “Baseball is a habit. The slow build to the end of each game, the rhythm of the long seasonthese are the essentials and they are remarkably unchanged over nearly a century and a half. Of how many American institutions(制度)can that be said? ”He is right. Baseball, only one word, is enough to make millions of people in the US think of many imagesspring afternoons, cold beers and hot dogs. As the USA Today newspaper put it, “A hot dog at the ballpark is always better than one out of the microwave. ”Delicious treats aside, baseball is also a game for fathers and sons to enjoy. They play catch with each other on lawns(草坪)and in parks for many years. Fathers pass down favorite teams to their sons. Grandfathers share stories of games played long ago. Many US children try to collect trading cards with the pictures of their favorite players on them. In schools it is as likely for friends to trade baseball cards as it is for them to trade lunches. Baseball players are known as“the boys of spring”because that is the time of year at which the sport is most often played; indeed, the new season of MLB(Major League Baseball)began on April 3. And the players come in all shapes and sizes. To play baseball you dont have to be tall like a basketball player or strong like an American footballer. You just need to want to have fun. Besides, baseball games are not as fast-paced(快节奏的)as basketball games so they allow viewers to relax, talk and get to know each other. Today, baseball is not the US most-watched sport, but it is its most historical. It has gone past being simply a game and has become part of the fabric(构造)of US culture. As The Telegraph newspaper noted, “Baseball is as American as apple pie, red, white and blue(the colors of the US national flag)and Grandmas house. ”【文章大意】棒球是美国人酷爱的两大运动之一(另外一项运动是美式橄榄球), 被称为“国球”。每逢赛事, 众多的球迷扶老携幼涌进球场, 为心仪的球队或球星加油打气。棒球比赛能够让人们放松, 并享受其中。5.
