The annual marathon in my town usually took place in summer. My job was to
21 behind the runners in an ambulance
22 any of them needed medical attention. The driver and I were in an air-conditioned ambulance behind nearly one hundred athletes
23 to hear the sharp crack of the starting gun.
“We’re supposed to stay behind the
24 runner, so take it slowly ,” I said to the driver , Doug , as we began to creep
forward .
“Let’s just hope all the runners are fast!” he laughed.
As they began to pace themselves, the front runners started to
25 . It was then that my
26 were drawn to the woman in blue silk running shorts and a baggy white T-shirt.
“Doug, look!”
We knew we were already watching our “last runner”. Her feet were turned in, but her left knee was turned out. Her legs were so crippled and bent that it seemed impossible for her to be able to walk , let alone run a marathon .
Doug and I watched in
27 as she slowly moved forward. We didn’t say a thing. We would move forward a little bit, then stop and wait for her to gain some distance. Then we’d slowly move forward a little bit more.
Finally, she was the
28 runner left in sight. Tears streamed down my face as I sat on the edge of my seat and watched with amazement and even respect as she
29 forward with strong determination through the last miles.
When the
30 line came into sight, rubbishes lay everywhere and
the cheering crowds had already gone home.
31 , a man waited proudly there. He was
32 one end of a ribbon (带子) tied to a post.
33 slowly crossed through, leaving both ends of the ribbon fluttering behind her.
I do not know this woman’s name, but that day she became a part of my life –a part I often depend on. For her, it wasn’t about
34 the other runners or winning a competition, it was about
finishing what she had set out to do, no matter
35 . When I think things are too difficult or too time-co
nsuming, I think of the last runner. Then I realize how easy the task before me really is.

人生感悟类阅读的概念：

一、文章特点：
生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪，使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文，如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事，有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。有时故事的结尾会有一句“点睛之笔”，点出全文的中心思想，就像《伊索寓言》里的寓言一样。还可能是夹叙夹议的哲理散文或生活随笔。散文随笔通常会阐述一种朴素易懂，耳熟能详的人生道理或宝贵品质。文章的结构和议论文类似，一般是总分总或总分结构。每段首句或尾句为主题句（论点），其它句子围绕主题展开论述（论据），论证方法多种多样，或举例，或引用名言，或正反对照等。
二、解题技巧：
针对生活感悟类文章的特点，做这类文章的完形填空时，要特别注意以下几点：
1、重点理解全文的首句。如果是记叙文，找出when，where，who，what等基本要素。如果是散文随笔，充分理解文章的中心句—全文的主题。
2、阅读全文的结尾段或结尾句，有助于理解文章所阐述或蕴含的哲理、感悟或忠告等。
3、调动自己的背景知识和情感。这类文章不会讲大道理也不会涉及到一些很专业的知识技术领域，而是谈一些小事和简单的道理，所以如果读者能和作者产生感情上的共鸣，读者会更好地把握作者的意图态度，从而提高做题的准确度。因此，考生在平时要做一个有心人，即用心去感悟生活中发生的小事，思考人生的一些基本道理，多阅读一些短小精悍的美文，多写写自己的心情故事和对生活学习的感悟。只有平时多用心，做题时才能调动自己的背景知识和情感。
