Ⅰ.阅读理解
This is new for me and I don't know what I will say really so I'm just giving it a try. I was always a runner and in pretty good shape for most of my life. Then I hit a bad patch and each day just couldn't get myself out there to run. I put on weight, which just made me feel worse about myself.
I finally got the running back again after a few years but it was much harder than it used to be and I struggled to get through even the shortest, slowest jog.
I was out in a run the other day and I had almost convinced(说服) myself to stop and give up when I heard someone say, “You can do it! It's hard, but you can do it！” There was a lady walking the other way and having the biggest smile on her face.
Those words of encouragement at a time when I was ready to stop were like a perfect intervention (干预). I finished my run and now every time I feel like giving up I will hear her words in my head and they give me motivation(动力) and encouragement.
I've never seen her again so I've never been able to thank her and let her know the effect something as simple as a few words of encouragement from a stranger had and still has on me. It always encourages me in my life and has a great influence on my life. I will never forget it and treasure it in my heart. I will tell it to others and make others believe encouragement is very important to us.
