广东中考英语阅读练习带答案

　　When I was a teenager I volunteered to pass out water at a local race. I was so excited to see all the different runners who passed by and quickly took a cup of water. Some ran past， some walked past and a few wheeled past.

　　I saw so many types of people doing it. I thought maybe I could do it too! The next year I decided to run for the race， but I had little running practice. I just wanted to finish.

　　On the day of the race， it was terribly hot. After running for about 5 miles. I was thinking， “I must be crazy. Why did I do this? What was I thinking?” And at one moment， I said to myself， “I am never doing this again!”

　　That first 10 km race was quite an experience. I jogged(慢跑)，I walked， I jogged and walked. At times， I didn’t know if I could finish.

　　Near the end， a 70-year-old man ran past me， very fast， and I felt a little embarrassed(尴尬的)that I was more than 50 years younger than he and I couldn’t even keep up with him. But then I realized something. He was running his race and I was running mine. How often in life do we compare(比较)ourselves to others when we really shouldn’t? I decided that I would not give up on running races， and that one day I would be one of those 70-year-old men who were still running.

　　As I crossed the finishing line， I was proud of myself. I didn’t regret(后悔)having such an experience.
