Module 3 Foreign Food Adventure in Literature and the Cinema(建议用时35分钟)Ⅰ. 阅读理解AWhen I was a teenager I volunteered to work at the water stationat a 10, 000m race. My job was to hand out water to the runners, Iremember being so excited to see all the different kinds of people whopassed by and grabbed(抓起)a cup of water. Some ran past, some walkedpast 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 didn’t 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 embarra ssed that I was 50 years younger than he but I couldn’t 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 hav e those moments when we compare ourselves with others. It’s only natural. Don’t 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 defineyour 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。
