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 “l(fā)ast 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 hoped 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.

    By the way, she did make it to the finish line that day, when the other runners and the cheering crowds had long gone home.

  On my way home I knocked into a stranger as he passed by.“Oh.I'm terribly sorry,” I said.“That’s all right.Please excuse me too; I wasn't even   1   you.I wish I didn’t hurt you.”

  We were very   2 。We said good-bye and went on our way.

  But at home we often   3   our loved ones in a different way.

Later that day, while I was cooking the evening meal, my daughter stood beside me very quietly.When I turned, I nearly   4   her down.“Move out of the way.” I shouted.She walked away, tears(眼淚)in her eyes.

  While I lay awake in bed, I realized how   5   I’d spoken.So I decided to get up to say sorry to my daughter.On the way to her bedroom, to my surprise, I found some   6   by the door of the kitchen.At that time my tears began to fall.I quietly went and got down on my knees by her   7  .She woke up and put her arms around my neck when I kissed her.Then I asked, “Did you pick these flowers for me?”

  She smiled, “I found them out by the tree.I picked them   8   they're pretty like you.I knew you’d like them.I stood quietly in order to give you a surprise.” “Oh dear, I'm really sorry for the way I acted today; I shouldn’t have shouted at you.”

  “That’s okay.Mom.I   9   you anyway.”

  I suddenly realized what a clever way it is to explain the word   10   like this:(F)ather(A)nd(M)other,(I)(L)ove(Y)ou!
