18、a, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much
19、 to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didnt want to mess with that.Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to
20、take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that
21、woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some strangers bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I dont even know has been immortalized(使永存). In some ways, she live

26、least once a week.Of course, some people run to lose weight, or to get fit, and these are great reasons. Running is also easy to do, its cheap, and you can do it when you want. All these factors certainly contribute to the fact that running is one of the most popular sports in the UK.But for many of
27、 those two million runners, the real reason we head out to beat the roads until our legs hurt is more intangible (无形的) than weight loss or fitness.Many runners become interested in times. They try to break the 40-minute barrier for the 10K, or run under four hours for the marathon. Yet, really, thes
28、e times are almost meaningless. And as soon as they are achieved, another target is thrown out almost immediately.The times are only the carrots we put in front of ourselves.

As we run, the layers of responsibility and identity we have gathered in our lives, father, mother, lawyer, teacher, all fall away, leaving us with the raw human being.If we push on, running harde
32、r, deeper into the loneliness, further away from the world and the structure of our lives, we begin to feel strangely excited, separated yet a the same time connected, to ourselves. With nothing but our own two legs moving us, we begin 1o get a sense of who, or what, we really are. After a long run,
33、 everything seems right in the world. Everything is at peace. To experience this is a powerful feeling, strong enough to have us coming back, again and again, for more.28. Why does the author think setting time goals is almost meaningless?A. Because those time goals can be achieved.B. Because those
34、time goals can be achieved easilyC. Because people will be very proud once the time goals are achieved.D. Because there will always be a new time goal once the former one is achieved.29.
