This year the marathon in my hometown took place in the hottest month. My job was to follow behind the runners to see if any of them needed medical care.
" We should stay behind the last runner, so take it slowly," I said to the driver, Bob.
" Let's hope that the last runner is fast!" He laughed.
Soon the front runners started to disappear, and I saw a woman in a white T-shirt.
" Bob, look!"
We knew we were already watching our " last runner". She was different from the others because of her age.
" I think she is over 60, too old for any sports match. How can she finish a marathon?" Bob said.
We watched in silence as she slowly moved forward. We would move forward a little, then stop and wait for her. Then we would move a little bit more.
As I watched her try to put one foot in front of the other. I found my heart beating for her. I wanted her to stop, but at the same time, I hopped that she wouldn't.
Soon she was the only runner that we could see. Tears ran down my face. She was so great! For her, it wasn't about beating the other runners or winning something; it was about finishing what she had decided to do.
Later in my life, when I think things are too difficult, I will think of the woman-the last runner.

English teenagers will receive cooking lessons in schools. The idea is to encourage healthy eating to solve the problem that many people are overweight. Also, it worries people that basic cooking and food preparation skills are being lost because parents use too much pre-prepared fast foods.
Cooking was once regarded as an important part of eduction in England-even if it was mainly for girls. In recent years cooking has become less important in schools. But the rising level of
obesity(肥胖) has led to a rethink about the food that children are given and the skills they should be taught.
" What we want is to teach young people how to do basic,simple meals, which they can use now at home and then in their later life," said Ed Balls, an education expert.
The new lessons will start in September, but some schools without kitchen will be given a longer time to prepare. Also there may be a shortage of teachers with the right skills, since schools have been teaching food technology rather than practical cooking. Besides, the lessons for hands-on cooking will only be one hour a week for one term. But the well-known cookery writer, Pru Leith, believe it will be worth it.
" If we'd done this thirsty years ago we might not have to face the problem about obesity and lack of knowledge about food and so on. Every child should know how to cook, not just so that they'll be healthy, but because it's a life skill which is a real pleasure."
The renewed interest in cooking is an effort to reduce the obesity rate, which is almost the highest in Europe, and according to the government, half of all British people will be obese in 25 years if present trends(趋势) are not halted.
67.Which of the following is Not the aim of bringing back cooking lessons in Britain?
A. To encourage teenagers to eat healthy food.
B. To reduce the country's increasing obesity rate.
C. To prevent basic cooking and food preparation skills from being lost.
D. To encourage parents to use more pre-prepared fast foods.
68.How will cooking lessons do good to the students?
A. All of them will become good cooks in their laster life.
B. Students will be healthy and enjoy the pleasure of such a life skill as well.
C. Students will be able to make food experiments with the knowledge and skills.
D. Students will be able to control the level od obesity in the whole country.
69.The underlined word "halted" in the last paragraph probably means _____.
A.continued
B.stopped
C.discussed
D.kept
70. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
A.cooking has always been an important part of school education in England
B.English teenagers will have their cooking lessons one hour a month for one year
C.the obesity rate in Britain has been growing rapidly in recent years
D.the students will pay much money for their cooking lessons
