Since I run the 300m hurdles, I would know what the race is like. The first thing to any race is worrying abo
6、ut whether you are going to win or not. This relates to worrying about the petty things in life. Does it really matter if you win? Is it really going to be the end of the world? Or will you be upset if you lose and then forget about it? (1)In life we worry too much and live in the moment too little.
7、 承上总结句 (2)Next is the lining up in our own individual lanes. We each start at different spots, but the race is still the same distance for everyone.承上启下句 (3)This relates to our lives taking us to different places and putting us in different situations, but hopefully we will end up in the same place,
8、 but maybe at different times. Now comes the beginning of the race. We all try to keep up with everyone and paceourselves with other people.

Thi
12、s hurdle is the easiest to get over because you are notworn out from running. We all make it over this hurdle with ease. This symbolizes those obstacles in life that we struggle to get over, but we always manage to do so. You can look at that hurdle in two ways: “I can”t make it over, I”m too tired“
13、 or “I am one more hurdle closer to finishing this race“. This is an example of taking a negative situation and seeing something positive in it.承上句 The next part of the race is every hurdle between the first and last one. 主题句These hurdles get tougher and tougher and you may feel as though you can”t
14、go on.This happens a lot in life too.承上启下句There may be a situation that arises where you feel as though you can”t make it and all you can think about is giving up. You may fall over that “hurdle“ or struggle getting over it, but somehow you find it in yourself to jump over it and move on with the ra
15、ce. Next is that last 100m of the race.

Again, you must find it in yourself that you can do it, and
16、 you must finish the race stronger than when you had started it.(1) find it in yourself that you can do it，it 是形式宾语，真正的宾语是 that 从句。(2) you must finish the race stronger than例如：He died young / poor.，stronger 是主语的补语，说明主语的状态。名词也可以作主语的补语，说明主语的状态。例如： He died a beggar.She came from her marriage a stronger
17、 person. Now lastly is the last hurdle. This hurdle is the toughest out of all of them. (6)In life we find ourselves falling and falling, and maybe getting too lost in our problems that we feel likewe have been through enough and there”s no hope.That last hurdle symbolizes these situations. 承上句It”s
18、one step close to the end of the race. Once you finish, you look back on it and you realize that you made it not by leaping, butstep by step. (7) “Yard by yard, life is very hard. But inch by inch, life can be a cinch.“本局部重点及难点：6. In life we find ourselves falling and falling, and maybe getting too

20、through 经过，历经；完成，完毕可参考 Unit 5, Text B7. “Yard by yard, life is very hard. But inch by inch, life can be a cinch.“一码一码地，生活很困难。但是一英寸一英寸地来，生活只是小菜一碟。即生活中我们要一步一 个脚印，循序渐进。注：1 yard=0.9144 meter, 1 inch=2.54 centimeters (8)All it takes is one step at a time, one hurdle at a time.本局部重点及难点：8.

33、concert at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City.2 (1)If you have ever been to a Perlman concert, you know that getting on stage is no smallachievement for him.

34、walk across the stage one step at a time, painfully and slowly, is an awesome sight.3 He walks painfully, yet majestically, until he reaches his chair.

35、en he bends down and picks up the violin, puts it under his chin, nods to the conductor and proceeds to play.4 By now, the audience is used to this ritual.
