27、   If you happened to be at the recent National Senior Games in Albuquerque last June, it’s likely that you would have found an extremely enthusiastic group of 19 people, all wearing bright yellow T-shirts that read “Blossom at 85” on one side and "Gammy’s Groupies" on the other. “That’s my team,” says Andrea Harrison, speaking about the family and friends there to cheer her on. Harrison is certainly blossoming at 85—so much so that she walked away with gold in the 800 meters with a time of 6'24" and silver in the 5K, finishing in 43'1'.

“People often tell me that they’re inspired by my running and they are encouraged to do more to stay active because of it. ” Harrison says. “I feel like this is my job and my purpose now, to get people moving, no matter what their ages are.”

She even has a presentation she gives at community centers and schools, centering on how beneficial running and exercise can be on emotional heath as well as physical health. Calling it “Motion Over Disturbance;” she says it emphasizes how the motion of movement takes away the disturbance in your head, clearing away all those little worries and bothers of everyday life.

Harrison also likes to tell her audiences that she’s a late bloomer when it comes to running. She started when she was 50 years old, and only because of her sons, then a junior in high school, wanted to be on a track team. So the two of them ran around the parking lot of the school.

Now running 11 miles a week, she calms the “excitement” in her mind by spending her time praying for family members as she runs, particularly for her twin sister who has dementia （痴呆）. But of course she also includes her 6 children, 14 grandchildren, and 4 great-grandchildren.

There are often strangers approaching her after races to congratulate her on a win-she jokes that there “aren’t too many old ladies” for competition. “They say, ‘If you can run like this, I should be running,’ ” she says. “And I say ‘Well, go ahead. What are you waiting for?’”

【1】What is Harrison’s job in her own opinion?

A.Being a member of a track team.

B.Winning gold and silver medals.

C.Encouraging people to run regardless of ages.

D.Giving lectures on the benefits of exercise.

【2】Which of the following can replace the underlined part “bloomer” in Paragraph 4?

A.Competitor. B.Runner.

C.Instructor. D.Achiever.

【3】What is Harrison always doing while running?

A.Listening to some music. B.Missing her family members.

C.Praying to calm down. D.Waiting for the strangers. ,

【4】What can be inferred from the whole text?

A.It’s never too late to learn. B.All that glitters is not gold.

C.To strike while iron is hot. D.Well begun is half done.

32、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

I went up to the roof for a break after studying for an hour and watched the 50 or so people swimming in the natural rock pool below our house. It was a sunny day-a blue, cloudless sky over a calm sea. But then, as I looked in the distance, I discovered a series of three or four big waves heading towards the shore. I'd seen these mini- tsunamis(海啸) many times before. They were heading at speed in the direction of the pool. Most people knew how to look out for them, but from the screams that started coming from the beach, I could tell someone was in trouble.

Without thinking, I ran down into the street, holding my body board(俯伏冲浪板) on the way and shouted at a stranger to go inside my house and call the coastguard. My neighbor Moises had heard the screaming as well and was also outside with his body board, so together we rushed to the steps that led down to the sea.

Once we got closer, we discovered the waves had pulled a boy and a girl from the pool and into the open sea. I knew that the nearest boat would take at least 30 minutes to reach us. Waiting for help wasn't a choice. I wasn't used to this sort of emergency- I’d never been trained as a lifeguard-but I didn't think twice about trying to save them. I supposed in a way I wanted to impress everyone: at 19, a deal like that can seem like a good opportunity to show off.

Moises and I dived into the water and it took us 10 minutes to get to them. When we finally reached them, they were almost lifeless with only their heads coming in and out of the water. We could tell they were still alive from their small breaths but it was clear they wouldn't have been able to stay there much longer. I hold the boy and pulled him over my board. Moises moved the girl on to his board. We discussed pushing them back to the shore, but we were too far out.

We had to wait,
