Have you ever taken part in a marathon? A marathon is 42km long. It is the longest race in the world. To make the harder training is quite necessary. A runner should start to prepare for a marathon at least three months before. Preparation may have races, many hours of running at different speeds and changes in diet. During the training time the runner must eat a fit diet. The diet should have lots of things needed in training the players.

In the early days of training, runners run 80km per week. The running is increased ever two or three weeks and at least two long runs per week are needed. Two weeks before the marathon, the training programme becomes less, from 100km per week down to 60km and then to 30km in the final week. On the last two days they may not run at all.

Breakfast should be eaten at least three hours before the race. Easily digested (消化), food such as cereal (谷类), toast (烤面包) and scrambled (碎的) eggs is best, with as much fluid (液体) as possible. Runners should drink water about half an hour before the race.

We've talked about snails(蜗牛)and their slow move. But much of the time snails don't move at all. They're in  (they) shells-(壳)-sleeping.

Hot sun will dry out a  (snail) body. So at the least sign of hot sun, a snail draws its body into its shell and closes the opening with a thin cover. Then it falls (sleep). A snail will die in heavy rain. So whenever it  (rain), it goes inside its shell house and goes to sleep. A snail can sleep as long as it needs to. And it spends all the winter  (month) in its shell, sleeping.

In spring, the snail wakes up. Its body comes out from shell.  it's hungry, the snail looks for food. Mostly, it looks  food at night, but on cloudy days, it eats in daytime. It eats all day. A snail can go on (eat) for hours and never feel full. The snail can't see very well, but its sense of smell is  (real) strong.

"What's the matter. mum?"

As soon as I entered the door, I found that my mother was unhappy. It was unusual—she usually 1 and welcomes me with a smile!

"She's dying" mum said sadly.1 2 what she said. The tulip (郁金香) was dying.

A month ago, we moved 3 our new house and mum bought a very beautiful tulip. Mum liked it very much.4 she was free, she would sit in her armchair beside the tulip and enjoy its beautiful colour 5 wonderful smell.

She treated it like a baby and looked after it 6 . She put the tulip by window and moved it from one place to 7 to give the tulip enough sunshine. The first thing she did when she 8 every morning was to water the tulip. Mum also fertilized (施肥) it many times.

She hoped that with great care, the tulip would become more and more beautiful. 9 the tulip was dying because of too much sunshine, water and fertilizer.

It's true that mother loved the tulip. But this kind of love 10 be harmful. Love can sometimes kill what you love.

Of all the seasons, I like winter the best. It is very cold and everyone has to wear thick warm clothe but I always enjoy the winter here in Harbin.

The temperature is usually below zero and it is often snowy. Everything is covered in deep whit snow, and the lakes and rivers are frozen. During this season, you cannot see beautiful flowers or green trees, but the land is quiet and beautiful.

My friends and I love playing outside in winter. It is exciting to have big snowball fights. We throw snowballs at each other, screaming and laughing. We also make snowmen and use carrots for their noses. They look funny. Moreover, I enjoy the Ice Festival each year. There are beautiful ice lanterns everywhere. It is really wonderful.

Winter is great!
