  Before the 1950's, running the mile in under four minutes was considered impossible.Gradually though, times for the mile run did   1  .By the early 1950's, it looked as though a four minute mile was indeed   2  

  A British   3  , Roger Bannister, decided to try to break the four minute barrier.The decision to work for this   4   meant hours of painful, boring preparation ahead of him, but to Bannister, the goal was well worth the   5  

  In December, 1953, his   6   began.It included a series of ten quarter-mile sprints(全速跑),to be done in sixty seconds each.He   7   himself a two-minute rest after each quarter-mile.By early February of 1954, he had gotten his time down to   8   seconds; this meant a mile.Here Roger reached a plateau(停滯).He couldn't   9   to get his time for the quarter-mile down to 60 seconds   10  , he and a friend took time away from training to go mountain climbing in Scotland for three days.This   11   was considered quite reckless(輕率的),since a sprained ankle(扭傷踝骨)could   12   him weeks of valuable training.

  However, the mountain climbing   13   gave him the mental advantage he needed.When he   14   training, he ran the ten quarter-miles again; his time was down to 59 seconds for each quarter-mile sprint When   15   day arrived, strong winds were blowing and running conditions were poor.What a   16   decision!Should he run, going for the   17  ?Or, should he wait for the next race, days later, hoping for the   18   to improve?If he did wait, he risked losing his peak physical and mental   19  .Bannister decided to go ahead.It was the   20   decision.At race time, the wind died somewhat, and Bannister ran effortlessly, the fastest mile in human history-in under four minutes.

understand it and then go on to the next. Other people think that our eyes smoothly   2   over each line from left to right, then back to the beginning of the    3    line, and so on. In fact, the physical action of reading usually doesn’t work in    4    of those ways.

This was one of my experiences    1   .When I was in my 30s,I was working for a large international company which had its head office in London. I was working in the   2   department.

The company had a training center which was just outside London. Different courses were held there throughout    3    and I    4    go on one training course a year. These usually started    5    a Sunday evening and lasted six days.

Once I was    6    a week’s training course with about forty    7    sales people. I was in the bar on the Friday evening and suddenly a woman who was    8    behind the bar asked me a curious question.“I hope you don’t    9   my asking,” she said, “but I’ve been     10    about it all week. Have you got a sister   11     Mary?” The woman’s name was June. And she used to do various jobs at the training center’s worked in the office, she organized all the food and drink for the center and she worked in the bar at lunch time and in the evening.

My answer    12    June’s question was “Yes”,and June said,“I thought    13   .I met her last September when she was organizing a course here.” At that time, my sister was working for   14    company but in a different part of the country. That was    15    she came to be at the training center.
      16    surprised me was how June guessed we were brother and sister. Three things made it even more   17    .First, she had met my sister six months before she met me. Second, they have about sixty new people every week at the training center’s about one thousand five hundred people had    18    the center in those six months. And    19   ,my sister is married, so she doesn’t have the same family name as me.

We’re not    20    ,but I guess we must look quite like each other.

The company had a training center which was just outside London. Different courses were held there throughout    3    and I    4    go on one training course a year. These usually started    5    a Sunday evening and lasted six days.

Once I was    6    a week’s training course with about forty    7    sales people. I was in the bar on the Friday evening and suddenly a woman who was    8    behind the bar asked me a curious question.“I hope you don’t    9   my asking,” she said, “but I’ve been     10    about it all week. Have you got a sister   11     Mary?” The woman’s name was June. And she used to do various jobs at the training center’s worked in the office, she organized all the food and drink for the center and she worked in the bar at lunch time and in the evening.

My answer    12    June’s question was “Yes”,and June said,“I thought    13   .I met her last September when she was organizing a course here.” At that time, my sister was working for   14    company but in a different part of the country. That was    15    she came to be at the training center.
      16    surprised me was how June guessed we were brother and sister. Three things made it even more   17    .First, she had met my sister six months before she met me. Second, they have about sixty new people every week at the training center’s about one thousand five hundred people had    18    the center in those six months. And    19   ,my sister is married, so she doesn’t have the same family name as me.

We’re not    20    ,but I guess we must look quite like each other.
