Worth the pain in the end

I used to hate running. It seemed too hard and pushing outside my comfort zone

was not something I was raised to do.

In fact, I wouldn’t have become a ___11___ if it weren’t for my husband Charles.

wouldn’t stop talking about how much he missed it.

“So start running again, why don’t you?” I was getting ___12___ of hearing

about it.

So he picked it up again, and after about a year, I started to join him at the track

___13___about doing it. It was too soon.

But on ___14___ day, there I was.

The gun went ___15___.Thousands of runners pushed forward.

how you feel.”

much pain.

“You’ll be fine. You’ve got less than a kilometer to go.”

I rounded a corner and saw both sides of the street thick with people watching the

race, all cheering the runners on. I willed my legs to keep going.

gave me an incentive (助力). I knew that if I finished this race, I would have achieved

something. So, I straightened up, and kicked it.

put a ____23____ around my neck.

Envelope Budget

From McDonald’s to Sonic, fast food had a bad effect on my waistline and my budget. It was

nothing to run to a drive-through to pick up a cold drink or a quick biteto eat. It was so easy to

usemy cardfor a small purchase. For me, I got a lot of satisfaction from fast food.

One day I sat down andcalculated that I was spending a surprising $40 a week on fast food.

This was a lot of iced coffee and hamburgers!Instead of reducing my guilty pleasures, I decided to

give myself a strong budget toreducemy consumption. Every Monday I placed an envelope with

$20 in my purse. That was my fastfood budget for the entire week. If there wasanything left over

at the end of the week, it was mine to save or spend. If I spent all of the money during the week,

there were no more fast foodstops that week.

The budget made me more mindful of my purchases. Instead of purchasing a large drink from

Sonic, I would purchase a small. It was still satisfying but not nearly as pricey. Instead of eating a

whole meal, I would pickthe partthat I actually wanted. Many days, the thought of hanging onto

the money for a special purpose meant more to me than the instant satisfaction of fast food. I

never really felt unhappy becauseit was a conscious choice to spend or save with each purchase.

Envelope budget kept me honest. I had a clear idea how much money was spent each week

on fast food purchases. I started to bring my lunches more often to save more money for the week.

It was a fun challenge to see how much I could save every week.

Changing the way I spent on fast food not only helped my budget, but improved my weight.

In the first month I was able to get rid of5 pounds by simply changing the way I approached

spending on fast food. Now I am more likely to bring my lunch than to buy it. I am not upset, but

empowered to make positive choices to improve my life.

26. According to Paragraph 1, the author ______.

A. had no time to cook for hersel B. was fond of fast food very much

C. lived with a small amount of money D.got some benefits fromusing hercard

27. We can infer from the last paragraph that ______.

A. envelope budgetis good forhealth B. the budget means a pressure on life

C.itis unusual to make some changes D.it is hardto enjoy a healthy lifestyle

28. What is the passage mainly about?

A.Whythe author became addicted to fast food.

B. Whythe author tookenvelope budget seriously.

C. Howfast food controlled the author’s behavior.

D.How envelope budget changed the author’s life.
