A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two
weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and
then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was “not athletic”.
The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized
running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about
the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!
The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating
and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.
Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start
I wanted!
At mile 3, I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”
By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the
course walking a bit and then running again.
By mile 21
,
I was starving!
As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded
the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal
as the one that the guy who came in first place had.
Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels, I can now call myself a
“marathon winner”.

C
He’s as big as a small golden dog and covered with scales (鳞片). He is the pangolin (穿山甲)
,
an endangered animal.
According to the wildlife trade monitoring organization Traffic, about one million pangolins were
killed from 2000 through 2013, mainly for their scales, which are used in medicine. Pangolins are sensitive
creatures and picky eaters that only eat certain species of ants, a diet that’s very difficult to copy in the
food chain.
“In the last decade, there’s been a huge growth trade in pangolins between continents, especially their
scales,” says Dan Challender, chair of the pangolin specialist group. Previously, most pangolin killing
happened within Asia, he says. This shift means that Asian pangolins are becoming difficult to find but that
the value of the scales makes it worth the extra cost to take pangolins from Africa to Asia secretly.
All eight species of pangolins, four in Africa and four in Asia, are in danger of extinction due to the
illegal trade. International trade in the four species of Asian pangolins has been banned since 2000. In the
past few years, a ban on international commercial trade in all eight species has gone into effect. It was
voted by 183 governments that are parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species
(CITES), which is in charge of cross-border trade in wild animals and their parts.
Pangolins are eaten as bushmeat in western and central Africa and by some local groups in South and
Southeast Asia. Their parts also are used in Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, and elsewhere in sub-Saharan
Africa as traditional medicine. Typically dried, ground into powder, and put into pills, pangolin scales are
used in a range of traditional medicines to help mothers who have given birth to babies to recover. But they
are now endangered. Perhaps no pangolins can be seen when our next generation grow up.
8. What do you know about pangolins from Paragraph 2?
A. Their meat is very delicious.
B. Their scales are of great value.
C. They are smaller than young dogs.
D. They are on the top of the food chain.
9. Why are pangolins brought from Africa to Asia?
A. Pangolins are cheaper in Africa.
B. No laws protect pangolins in Africa.
C. People in Asia can really save pangolins.
D. Pangolins have sharply decreased in numbers in Asia.
10. What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Pangolins have many different species.
B. The bans on pangolin trade are ineffective.
C. People used to take advantage of pangolins in different ways.
D. Governments have tried to contribute to the protection of pangolins.
11. What’s the author’s attitude towards pangolins’ future?
A. Positive. B. Uncaring. C. Concerned. D. Confident.
