At 39 weeks pregnant most women would only be thinking of racing to hospital.But not Amber Miller,who set off to run the Chicago Marathon while expecting her second child any day.
As she neared the final stage of the race,she began to feel pain in the stomach.But the determined athlete managed to cross the finish line in 6 hours and 25 minutes.
Unbelievably the Chicago race was not even baby June's first marathon—Miller ran the Wisconsin Marathon earlier this year,four months pregnant.She also ran another marathon
when she was about four months pregnant with her son,Caleb,19 months old now.
Although there was extra weight,the seasoned runner's time was just 3 hours off her personal best
Miller began to feel pain near the end of the race,but she was not sure if it was labour
(分娩),because she typically feels some pain when she runs while pregnant.After her race her husband drove her to Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield where she gave birth to the
healthy 7 pounds,13 ounce baby.
Miller decided to run because she and her husband had already signed up for the
race.The athletic mother said she experienced an enthusiastic welcome from crowds as she ran along.But the devoted runner,who had completed eight marathons,admitted that she did get a few strange looks along the course.
“I know what I can handle.This is something I've been doing for a long time,”the experienced marathon runner said.
June was born at 10:29 pm on Sunday night after seven hours' labour.“She's absolutely perfect,”Miller said.“We are extremely happy,but very tired.”
After her surprising double achievement,Miller says she is planning to take some time off to concentrate on being a full-time mom.

He is a lesson to every boy who ever picked up a basketball and dreamed that it would change his life.
The lights were never brighter and the crowds were never bigger for a home-grown
sports hero than they were a quarter-century ago for Ray Hall.But his athletic
achievements,as impressive as they are,are to my mind not what is most admirable about the man.Known as“Sugar Ray”in his teens,Hall was rated among the country's top 25 high
school basketball players.An inner-city kid from a solid family,Hall took on the challenge of lifting Canisius College—still recovering from its failure—back to respectability,rejecting
more favourable offers.His status brought more pressure than any 18-year-old should have to handle.However,I watched him mature into the player who led Canisius back to daylight.
After college Hall played professionally in Italy and Greece for over 10 years until a car accident at 32 ended his basketball career.The news that he would never play again shocked Hall but unlike so many othershe was ready for life after basketball.When Imet Hall—still
fit at 46—for lunch Monday,he wore a cut-sharp gray suit,designer tie and blazing white shirt that screamed success.“That was always the question—when the cheers end,where do you
go Who do you turn to ”he said.“It starts and ends with that person in the mirror.”
Hall got the concept of academics—first from his parents.He graduated from Canisius College a semester early.“No matter how good an athlete you are,you are just one injury
away from losing it all,”he said.“But if you take care of things academically,you are prepared until you leave this Earth.”
For the past 14 years,he has been in a computer sales job at Ingram Micro.He married his college sweetheart.They have three kids and a nice house in the suburbs.He figured out
early what others learn too late:Athletics is part of a journey,not the destination.Congratulations,Ray,you made it.In more ways than one.
5.According to the writer,which of the following best describes Ray's success
A.Unlike other athletes,he was academically superior.
B.He defeated his injury and returned to the playground. C.He enjoys a successfuljob and a happy family.
D.He has gained impressive athletic achievements.
6.What can we learn from the passage A.Ray was from an academic family. B.Ray was very mature in his teens.
C.Ray was once desperate facing the cruel reality.
D.Athletics was not Ray's final goal in life.
7.What was the writer's intention in writing this passage
A.To describe the difficulties of being a professional athlete. B.To explain the importance of choosing the right college.
C.To emphasise the need for a good education.
D.To warn against playing professional basketball. 五 、语篇填空

thing he regretted:he didn't get a job as a translator but became a teacher instead.This story gave birth to my ambition and it“told”me to realise this dream.
