61、段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。Marathons are not for the faint of heart, nor the faint of lungs. You might think youre up for it, but then your lungs will remind you halfway through that this might be too much. I have a ton of respect for people who do compete in them. Make sure you stretch a lot before you do one!
62、This story though, is about someone who could have finished the race sooner but chose not to.There are people who are well in-shape to run a marathon， and marines（海军陆战队士兵）are definitely some of those people. Military training is some of the toughest out there. Theyll make you do push up（俯卧撑）after pu
63、sh up， course after course， and theyll make you do it regularly. A marine is thus well-prepared to run something like a marathon race.Myles Kerr was a 19-year-old marine who joined in a 5-kilometre marathon. As the name implies, a 5-kilometre marathon is 5 kilometers of running you have to do. And 5
64、 kilometers is a lot to run on foot. It is definitely not a distance you should attempt without a lot of preparation and training. Myles, thanks to his training, was even able to wear boots while he ran.While Myles and the other marines with him could handle this just fine,one other runner couldnt.
65、It was 9-year-old Brandon Fuchs. The boy joined in the race as part of a group. However,he got separated from the group as the race progressed. He was now quite far behind and struggling to finish the race.Brandon is just 9 years old, but he is fond of sports. He always sits in front of TV watching
66、matches of all kinds of sports, especially matches concerning running. He ever participated in some kinds of running races, which made him even more interested in sports. When he knew a short-distanced marathon was to be held in his city, he signed up for it without hesitation. 注意1.续写词数应为150左右2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。It just happened that the boy caught sight of Myles.Seeing Myles run together with Brandon, people felt confused.
