(10 points)I recently visited London and traveled on the tube while I was there. Apart from the people 1 , almost everybody else was on their phones, and because of the nature of the tube, it is difficult not to see 2 what they are all doing. Of course, being 3 it is difficult to get any signal, which rules out texting or using the Internet, 4 there is still plenty you can use your phones for. People were playing 5 , reading articles and listening to music, and Im sure that as soon as they 6 from the train station they would start texting, calling or checking their emails. There is a constant 7 to everyone in the world, 8 you have a mobile phone in your hand.Recently, my smart-phone broke and had to be 9 to the warehouse for 10 for a week or so. In the meantime I had to use a really 11 , basic phone just to keep in touch with my family and friends. All I could do on this phone was send 12 , make calls and play one game. And I loved it. I loved being free from the Internet, and I really didnt mind not having constant 13 about what my friends were doing or what the latest celebrity story was. It was quite 14 and it allowed me to spend more time 15 my surroundingsI could 16 my time in London more, for example, and I could watch the people around me and really see what was going on. 17 , I knew that as soon as I got my smart-phone back I would be one of those people once again, 18 to finding out what everyone is doing and 19 my time playing games or checking social network sites.

(40 points)Text 1There is a quote by William Purkey, a well-known professor of education, that goes, “Dance like no one is watching, love like youll never be hurt, sing like no one is listening, and live like its heaven on earth.” I seems like the perfect life philosophy-and one Ive learned to apply to running over the year.But I didnt always feel this way. In my early days, when I weighed 240 pounds, I ran like everyone was watching-and judging. If I was on a run and saw a car approaching, Id stop and pretend I was looking for something Id lost I bought the high-tech gear and clothes that I thought would make people believe I was a runner. And I didnt have a clue if the expensive shoes I was wearing were the right kind for me-I just wanted to look like I fit in with this group.To be honest, I felt a certain satisfaction in believing that someone was watching. I really thought that other people cared about my performance. The best example of this was a combined, two-lap marathon in Florence, Italy. As I approached the finishing line, the crowd began to cheer. I was surprised. Here I was, thousands of miles from home, and the Italians were shouting for “IIPenguino.”About 20 yards from the finishing, the truth set in when the winner of the full marathon went past me as I was finishing the half-marathon. No one was cheering for me. no one probably even noticed that I was finishing. I couldnt help but smile at my own illusion of self-importance.Thats when I realized I had been running for every reason except the right one. I ran to make other people happy, ran to live up to their expectations. But no one was watching-no one cared. So I decided I was going to run for me-just me-and gained a new enjoyment from the sport I hadnt truly experienced yet. Ive learned to run like no one is watching.So if you see me at race, and I look like a 60-year-old guy waddling(蹒跚)along, dont worry. Im fine. The miracle isnt that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start.
