21.     Paula Radcliffe, chasing (角逐) a third London marathon title (冠军), says she has became a stronger person after her terrible experience at the 2004 Athens Gaines.
    Radcliffe, who failed to complete the Olympic marathon and the 10,000m last August, said: “Athens made me a stronger person and it made me care less about criticism.”
    “In the past I wanted to please everyone, but now I am going to listen even more to the people around me.”
    She didn’t care about criticism made at the weekend by Liz McColgan, who felt Radcliffe should have rested and let her body recover after her failure in Athens.
    “Liz is someone I look up to but she hasn’t spoken to me since last year and if she really cared for me, I'm sure she would have contacted me.”
    Instead Radcliffe won the New York City marathon just 11 weeks after Athens.
    “In New York I wasn’t in my best state but I did know I was good enough to win the race.” Radcliffe insisted her only goal in Sunday’s race would be winning a third title and not chasing world records.
    However, Radcliffe has not ruled out (排除) in the future chasing her "final" world record time and questioned sayings that marathon runners have the ability in their career to produce only four or five world-class times.
    “I don't think that --- although I can't put a number on it,” said Radcliffe. “That changes from person to person.”
    Radcliffe is sure she can better her winning London 2003 performance at some point in the future. Following a successful three-month training period in the United States, the 31-year-old will chase a third title on Sunday after her first victory in 2002 and again 12 months later.
 Radcliffe clocked a time of 2:18:56 in her first 42.2-kilometer race three years ago.
    Afterwards she set a "mixed course" mark of 2:17:18 five months later in Chicago before lowering that to a time of 2:15:25 m the 2003 London event.
56. Radcliffe’s failure in Athens made her ________
A. develop respect for Liz                         B. love people around her more
C. rest for five months                           D. face criticism calmly   
57. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Radcliffe broke the world record in the New York City marathon.
B. Radcliffe didn't fully recover before the New York City marathon.
C. Radcliffe won her first marathon title in the New York City marathon.
D. Radcliffe had a 3-month training before the New York City marathon.      
58. By saying “I can't put a number on it,” Radcliffe means she’s not sure _____ .
A. if she has the ability to set a new world record
B. if she can win another race though she has won many tunes
C. how many times a marathon runner can set the world record
D. if she has the ability to produce four or five world-class times     
59. According to the text, Radcliffe has won ____ London marathon title(s).
A. two               B. three         C. four                D. one     
60. What can we learn from Radcliffe's story?
A. Practice makes perfect.                            B. Well begun is half done.
C. A friend in need is a friend indeed.                 D. Where there is a will there is a way.

22. An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow(乌鸦) rested on their window.
The father asked his son, “What is this?”
The son replied “It is a crow.”
After a few seconds the father asked his son the second time, “What is this?”
The son said, “Father, I just now told you; it is a crow.”
After a little while, the old man again asked his son the third time, “What is this?”
At this time some expression of anger was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father, “It is a crow, a crow.”
A little later, the father again asked his son the fourth time, “What is it?”
This time the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? Although I have told you so many times? It is a crow. Are you not able to understand this?”
A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old diary which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his  son to read that page. The following words were written in it:
Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa. When a crow was sitting on the window, my son asked me 23 times what it was, and   I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. I did not at all feel angered. I rather felt affection for my innocent(单纯的) child.
