In our daily life, difficulties come from different aspects. My most unforget
36、table experience during my three years of college life is the P.E. Standard Test. I can still remember the scene of the 10,000-meter long-distance running. It taught me a lot.It happened on a Sunday morning last spring. All the students of the same grade in my university gathered around the track of
37、 the sports ground. We did warming-up exercisesand waited for the teacher to give the order. Even at that time I was not sure whether I could pass the test; I was not good at long-distance running though I had practiced toughly every day. I was psychologically prepared for the make-up test, but at t
38、hat moment I had no other choice. I would rather try in vain than give up beforehand.The order was finally announced. I started running together with other students. For the first two rounds, I could still keep up with others. In the third round, I began to feel thirsty, tired, and then exhausted. I
39、t was very strange that everything that had happened before occurred to my mind, and then I felt that my arms and legs were all beyond my control. I thought maybe I had to give up.Several of my friends noticed that and began to run along with me. They encouraged me, forced me to run on, and even pul
40、led me forward. I clcnchcdmy teeth and fists. In my mind I told myself, uHold on! Hold on!” It was really a tough job for me. I did not know how I managed it, but finally, I passed the line within the given time limit.For the first time I knew that I was stronger than I had suspected. I could do thi
41、ngs that seemed too difficult for me to do so long as I had perseverance. From then on, every time I meet with obstacles, I will recall the 10,000-meter long-distance running and then try to overcome them with confidence.Text B Hearing for the First TimeWorking with words and expressions1. shuffle:
