i wanted to know what it felt like to cross the prized finishing line, even if it meant i had to crawl (爬) across iti had only four months to get ready. i spent almost all my time training. i knew that if i didnt train to my fullest, my body would break down and the doctors diagnosis (诊断) would win. i wasnt about to let that happen. i had a dream: i would run the la marathon to achieve one of my lifes greatest goals. i trained eight times a week, seven days a week and even twice a day.finally, my hard efforts worked. i crossed the finishing line of the la marathon, strong and solid.im often asked why i run, to which i always reply, “i run because i can.” i remind myself that the aches and pains i experience while training and racing are nothing, compared to the suffering those whom i admire must bear. this is why i run41. after the second car accident, the doctors thought .a. the writer couldnt walk any moreb. the writer couldnt walk like othersc. everything would be fine later ond. it was hard for the writer to run42. from the passage we know that the writer .a. did what the doctor told him to do b. had a car accident in primary schoolc. practiced hard in la marathon hospital d. could give people a reason why he ran43. according to the passage, we know the writer is _.a. lucky b. clever c. strong-willed d. warm-hearted44. the underlined part “i run because i can” in the last paragraph refers that the writer .a. completely believed in himselfb. made every effort to be normalc. proved he was fine like othersd. didnt agree with his doctors45. it can be learned from the passage .a. one is never too old to learn b. where there is a will, there is a way c. all that ends well is welld. running keeps the doctor away dempathy (同情心) lets us feel another persons pain and drivers us to help. do any other animals feel empathy? scientists recently found that rats do, too.most people dont like rats. in many peoples eyes, rats are only bad. but jean decety and his partners at the university of chicago did an experiment. it showed that rats are kind, warm-hearted animals. they can feel each others pain.scientists placed pairs of rats in plastic cages for two weeks. during this time they got to know each other. then they put one of the rats from each pair into a small container (容器) in the cages. the small container had a door. it was rigged to fall to the side when the free rat touched it. many of the trapped rats squeaked (吱吱叫) to express their discomfort. the other rats of the pairs could see their suffering friends clearly.in most pairs, the free rats would become very worried about their friends. they kept trying to save their friends again and again throughout the month. scientists put the rats favorite chocolate in the cages, but the rats didnt eat it until they had saved their friends successfully. scientists also found that female rats tended to act more empathetic than male rats.“the results are the first to show that rats take action in response to anothers trouble,” decety said. “monkeys and chimpanzees (黑猩猩) have similar behavior. but unlike those animals, rats can be ready used in laboratory studies. they will help us to learn which parts of the brain lead to empathy and helping behavior and whether empathy is natural.”46. a person with empathy is often _. a. kind-hearted b. clever c. active d. strong47. why didnt the free rats eat the chocolate at first?
