Who is setting your standards （标准) for you？ A true story has it that Mr. Miller, who was 70 years old, decided to 1 around the local high school football field. As he ran along, a group of football players were in 2 . The players soon started sprinting （速跑) up and down the 3 . Mr.Miller told himself, "I'll just keep running until they 4 ." So he ran. And they ran. He ran some more. And they 5 running too. He kept running until he could finally run no more. Mr.Miller stopped. One of the 6 , equally tired, came up to him and said, "Well, I'm glad you 7 stopped. Our coach （教练) told us we had to keep running 8 you were running!" Mr.Miller was watching them and they were 9 him, too. He was letting them 10 his standards. And the same time they 11 him to set theirs. After telling the story, some questions occur in my mind:Are you keeping 12 with somebody else？ Are you allowing other people to set your standards 13 you？ Do you keep pace with those around you, or do you 14 yourself just how you will 15 your life？ You should know that it is you who must be 16 to determine what your standards will be.

完形填空。On May 27, 1995, our life was suddenly changed. It happened a few minutes past three,1my husband,
Chris, fell from his horse as it jumped over a fence. Chris was paralyzed (瘫痪) from the chest down, unable to
breathe normally. As he was thrown from his horse, we entered into a life of2with lots of unexpected
challenges. We went from the "haves" to the "have-nots". Or so we thought.
3what we discovered later were all the gifts that came out of sharing difficulties. We came to learn that
something wonderful could happen in a disaster (灾难). All over the world people4Chris so much that letters
and postcards poured in every day. By the end of the third week in a medical center in Virginia, about 35,000
pieces of5had been received and sorted.
As6, we opened letter after letter. They gave us comfort and became a source of strength for us. We
used them to7ourselves. I would go to the pile of letters marked with "Funny" if we needed a8, or to the
"Disabled" box to find advice from people in wheelchairs or even in bed living happily and successfully.
These letters, we realized, had to be shared. And so here we offer one of them to you.
Dear Chris,
My husband and I were so sorry to hear of your9accident last week. No doubt your family and your
friends are giving you the strength to face this10challenge. People everywhere are also giving you best
wishes every day and we are among those who are keeping you close.
