the way it was for years. Then, without any warning, Sam was diagnosed as having a weak heart. I had no other choice but to have him put down. The pain was nothing pared with what I experienced when I had to walk into our house alone. This time, there was no Sam for Lightning to greet and no way to explain why she would never see her friend again.In the following days, Lightning seemed heartbroken. I could see the disappointment in her eyes whenever anyone opened the front door, or the hope whenever she heard a dog bark.

A swimmer told me the water felt colder than it had been measured, and that the water was a bit rough. But I, along with 10,000 others, was about to plete the challenge. Most of the people taking part were doing a onemile race, and 10 races were planned over the weekend. There seemed to be a mix of openwater enthusiasts alongside plete beginners—which is precisely the aim of the swims, to get as many people as possible pleting their own challenge. The oldest woman peting was 77, taking part in the twomile race, alongside a man who last year had swum in every onemile race. I had chosen the third onemile race of the day. There were over 600 people in my race. We were taken through an acclimatization area a children39。s paddling poolsized part of the lake where we moved in to feel how cold the water was. Not too bad was everyone39。s thought! Then we headed out towards the middle of the lake. We39。d been warned that the first 100 metres would be really rough. However, somewhere near the 750m mark I was still waiting for the calm。 it felt more like swimming in the sea than a lake. I tried to focus on my breathing and technique, and just keep going. As I approached the 400mtogo mark my lower right leg became painful. I recalled overhearing people talking about how they kept swimming through the pain, so I tried. But it didn39。t work. I began to feel the entire leg tight and painful. I didn39。t want to stop, so I bent my right knee and just kicked with the left leg. Finally I saw the finishing post, and I just concentrated on getting there—still onelegged. My finishing time was 38 minutes 25 seconds but that didn39。t matter—the atmosphere was fantastic and everyone felt a sense of achievement, whatever their time. I39。m hooked, and want to give it another go. I39。ve already signed up for my next openwater swim.(1)How did the author feel before the race? A.Scared of the most challenging race.B.Disappointed by the difficult conditions.C.Concerned about the other swimmers in the race.D.Determined to be as tough as the people around her.(2)Why does the author mention the two people in Paragraph 2? A.To stress the importance of the race.B.To praise the experienced swimmers.C.To show the wide range of the participants.D.To introduce the various events of the race.(3)The author suggests in Paragraph 4 that ______. A.the race would cause breathing problemsB.the race became harder than she had expectedC.it was really necessary to prepare for tough swimsD.it would have been easier if she had taken others39。 advice(4)What does the author talk about in the last paragraph?
