I grew up without a father.Well，sort of，my parents divorced in the 1960s when I was a small child，and I stayed with my mother in Los Angeles.My father remarried and moved to a small suburb of Atlanta.For one month out of the year in the summer，I would fly back and spend time with my dad，so I had a father at times.
   Further，I had a series of stepfathers who ranged from wonderful guys to alcoholics to dangerous individuals.Having lived through such experiences，I find it amusing when people say that children really need a father in the home.Well，if he is a good father and a good man，then I agree completely.If he is not，then the child might actually be better off without him.We don't just need fathers—we need good fathers.
   I feel it fair to say I ended up a very successful adult，at least that's what people tell me.So how did I do it？I think it started with me having a bit of a chip on my shoulder.Normally this is not a good thing，but in my case it was rocket fuel for achievement.Not having a father in my life gave me something to prove，and it motivated me in an "I'll show you" way.
   I also tried very hard，even as a little boy to be self-sufficient.And that means I did not rely upon my parents except to the extent necessary.This kind of independence I believe is highly missed in this age of highly managed children with "helicopter" parents hovering（盤旋）above them constantly.
   I also think I never wanted not having a father in my life to be an excuse for myself.We make and allow excuses constantly these days，but I just never felt that feeling sorry for myself was going to get me anywhere.I think if children can adopt such mindsets early in their lives it can be helpful.

  • 2．Sidney Keys，14-year-old，has started a youth-led book club program，with the support and help of his mom，to help empower both himself and many other boys with mental or physical problems through literature.
       Keys' idea to create Books N Bros was born from his own setbacks and struggles. "I used to have a really bad stutter and perform badly in school and I would get laughed at for it，" Sidney Keys，the founder of the book club Books N Bros said. "Reading was kind of my escape from my stutter because in my head I was able to imagine things and play out all the events clearly."

       "I always wanted to read books that had characters that looked like me，but now I see a comic book with me in it，" Keys said delightedly. "It's really awesome，especially when I hear my friends and teachers call me my superhero name at school."
       As for the future of Books N Bros，Keys and his mom hope to expand the programs reach throughout the country. "Getting Books N Bros in schools across America，we don't want transportation to be an issue for getting that physical brotherhood and bond.It just benefits so many people，and it keeps me going，" Keys explained.

  • 3．My First Marathon（馬拉松） A month before my first marathon，one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks，leaving me only two weeks to train.Yet，I was determined to go ahead.
       I remember back to my 7th year in school.In my first P.E.class，the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball.I didn't do either well.He later informed me that I was "not athletic".
       The idea that I was "not athletic" stuck with me for years.When I started running in my 30s，I realized running was a battle against myself，not about competition or whether or not I was athletic.It was all about the battle against my own body and mind.A test of wills!
       The night before my marathon，I dreamed that I couldn't even find the finish line.I woke up sweating and nervous，but ready to prove something to myself.
       Shortly after crossing the start line，my shoe laces（鞋帶）became untied.So I stopped to readjust.Not the start I wanted!
       At mile 3，I passed a sign："GO FOR IT，RUNNERS!"
       By mile 17，I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly.Despite the pain，I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
       By mile 21，I was starving!
       As I approached mile 23，I could see my wife waving a sign.She is my biggest fan.She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m.or questioned my expenses on running.
       I was one of the final runners to finish.But I finished!And I got a medal.In fact，I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.
       Determined to be myself，move forward，free of shame and worldly labels（世俗標簽），I can now call myself a "marathon winner".

    （1）A month before the marathon，the author
    .
    A．was well trained
    B．felt scared
    C．made up his mind to run
    D．lost hope
    （2）Why did the author mention the P.E.class in his 7th year？

    A．To acknowledge the support of his teacher.
    B．To amuse the readers with a funny story.
    C．To show he was not talented in sports.
    D．To share a precious memory.
    （3）How was the author's first marathon？

    A．He made it.
    B．He quit halfway.
    C．He got the first prize.
    D．He walked to the end.
    （4）What does the story mainly tell us？

    A．A man owes his success to his family support.
    B．A winner is one with a great effort of will.
    C．Failure is the mother of success.
    D．One is never too old to learn.
