At the first one just 6,225 people completed the course, and since then it has grown into one of the biggest sporting events in the world.

There are eleven people who have run every London Marathon since it beganthey call themselves the Ever Presents.This year, the winners of the London Marathon were surprisingly both from Kenya Daniel Wanjiru, who finished in 2 hours and 5 minutes, and Mary Keitany, whose time was 2 hours and 17 minutes.However, most marathon runners are not professional athletes. They are amateurs who have trained for months to raise money for charity or just as a personal challenge. For example, Tom Harrison took three days just to reach the runs halfway point, as he is crawling the course on his hands and knees dressed as a gorilla (大猩猩), trying to raise money and attention for the charity The Gorilla Organisation.Matthew Rees was another runner to encourage people, as he stopped just before the finish line to help David Wyeth run the last 200m.

With its beautiful beaches, mountain hinterland and theme parks, the variety from one location to another is fantastic! And its also important that its like a playground for my children.The Gold Coast certainly offers something for every member of our family. We all love heading down to the beach for an early morning swim or surf. The beaches feature some of the softest golden sand and pumping waves, making them ideal for surfing. Safety is important, especially when Im out with the kids, and I feel better knowing that lifeguards are continually on patrol(巡逻). The long coast also offer the perfect setting for a leisurely walk at sunset-a favorite activity of mine.Then, of course, theres the bargain-hunting in the citys center. For shopping-goers, there are amazing shopping centers, boutiques and the usual chain stores. I always pick up loads of goodies at Pacific Fair.The Gold Coast is popular for its theme parks-Sea World, Warner Bros Movie World and Dream World. The seal and dolphin presentations at Sea World keep both children and adults on the edge of their seats as the sea creatures go through a series of complicated jumps, flips and rolls. Its great entertainment and an educational window to the underwater world for the kids. Our kids also enjoy meeting the characters at Movie World and watching how real movies are made.Night-time is equally fun, as we usually set off to find the best local restaurants and cafes. The mix of cultures and influences has given the Gold Coast a wide variety of choices, including modern Australian, Italian, Asian and seafood, although sometimes nothing beats fish and chips!A visit to the Gold Coast in the Sunshine State is worthwhile and fun.28.

Various choices of foodDYou get anxious if theres no wi-fi in the hotel or mobile phone signal up the mountain. You feel upset if your phone is getting low on power, and you secretly worry things will go wrong at work if youre not there. All these can be called “always on” stress caused by smartphone addiction.For some people, smartphones have freed them from the nine-to-five work. Flexible working has given them more autonomy（自主权）in their working lives and enabled them to spend more time with their friends and families. For many others though, smartphones have become tyrants（暴君）in their pockets, never allowing them to turn them off, relax and recharge their batteries.Pittsburgh-based developer Kevin Holesh was worried about how much he was ignoring his family and friends in favor of his iPhone. So he developed an app-Moment-to monitor his usage. The app enables users to see how much time theyre spending on the device and set up warnings if the usage limits are breached（突破）.” Moments goal is to promote balance in your life,” his website explains. “Some time on your phone, some time off it enjoying your loving family and friends around you.”Dr Christine Grant, an occupational psychologist at Coventry University, said, “The effects of this always on culture are that your mind is never resting, and youre not giving your body time to recover, so youre always stressed. And the more tired and stressed we get, the more mistakes we make. Physical and mental health can suffer.”And as the number of connected smartphones is increasing, so is the amount of data. This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis（瘫痪）and is creating more stress in the workplace because people have o receive a broader range of data and communications which are often difficult to manage. “It actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many do less because theyre controlled by it all and feel they can never escape the office,” said Dr Christine Grant.32.

Kevin Holesh developed Moment to _.A. research how people use their mobile phonesB. make people better use mobile phonesC. increase the fun of using mobile phonesD. help people control their use of mobile phones34. Whats Dr Christine Grants attitude towards “always on” culture?A. Confused. B. Positive. C. Critical D. Doubtful.35. According to the last paragraph, a greater amount of data means _.A. we will become less productive B. we can make a decision more quicklyC. we will be equipped with more knowledge D. we can work more effectively第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。There is no doubt that the first day of school can be crazy for most of students.
