   The race was set in the French Alps.Setting off at 6:15 am on Friday,39-year-old Mason battled through severe pain,and hallucinations(幻覺),but she pushed on-managing to complete the race in an impressive four days,23 hours,and 41 minutes.Andrea had been diagnosed with cancer and needed life-saving surgery.Following a successful operation,she is now hoping to raise awareness of women's health.In the past year,Andrea set up her own charity,Lady Talk Matters,in order to improve surrounding female's health.
   Andrea,from Blackpool in Lancashire,England,said, "I am so happy all went according to plan as there were so many things that could have gone wrong.I wanted to do it in five days,and I did,but it was very tough.I had some low moments,particularly when I couldn't sleep in my limited rest periods,and when I couldn't keep any food down as I was running.For sure I had some doubts along the way as I was exploring the unknown with such a huge run,particularly as large parts of it were in the dark.It was bigger than I imagined,the impact on my body was huge.But every time I felt like giving up,I thought about all the women out there in pain or who still hadn't been diagnosed.That is why I put myself through this.."
   Andrea had to swim 23 miles around Lake Annecy,cycle 205 miles with 30,000 feet of vertical climbing around Mont Blanc,and run 105 miles with 4,000 feet of vertical climbing around The Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc.You could say Andrea's actually spent a lifetime training for an event like this.She completed her first three-mile race "powered by chocolate bars" when she was just four.

  • 2.I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers,and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
       I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried,I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
       One day,I was told that if I got one more E on my report card,I would be taken to the "big prison for kids".
       I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
       The day before report cards were to come out,I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E,just like he always did.
       I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do;it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
       I smiled at him and said, "Mr.Young,do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger?" He looked at me,moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
       "They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger,Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.

       That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.

    A.In an orphanage.
