第二节　(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Around 5:30 a.m., I met my running group — the Los Angeles Roadrunners training team. I had trained with them for ten long months. That ten months left me with blisters(水泡) and backaches. But my pace leaders reassured me that no matter what, I should keep going. I knew my very first marathon was coming. More importantly, my husband and my daughter promised to wait for me at the finish line.
At about 6:30 a.m., I went to the starting gate and my excitement grew as the gun shot for the start and I was on cloud nine.
The first few miles were quite easy, but by mile 8 the pain was starting to spread all over my body, as if it were growing like a cancer. I had no choice but to slow down. Slowing down is much better than quitting, so I slowed down from my group and realized that the rest of this race was going to be just me and the road. Mile 12 brought about doubts whether I could even finish this race.
By mile 15, my pace had slowed even further. I reminded myself, “Just get to that finish line. Keep running, head held high.” Mile 18 brought me into familiar territory — my neighborhood. I had slowed to a walk by this point because my body didn't want to move an inch. I wanted to just walk home. But I couldn't because I had to keep going.
By mile 21, I had been told many times by spectators(观众), “You're almost there. Keep it up!” The smile on their faces, and the determined look in their eyes made me realize how much they cared whether I could finish. Left foot forward, now right foot forward. Every step I took, the intensity of the pain soaked(浸) into every cell in my body. I'd been running for 4 hours with what seemed like no end in sight.
注意:(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式作答。

答案： With just 4 miles left, I really wanted to quit. My legs felt like lead, my lung burning with every breath. The pain was simply unbearable（难以忍受的）, and I wondered if I had what it took to inch（缓慢移动）to the end. But then, the promise of my husband and my daughter echoed in my mind. I thought about how proud they would be to see me finish and I could even picture the scene（想到那一幕）of them cheering for me. With the promise in my mind, I took a deep breath, wiped the sweat, and dragged my legs to keep going.
Finally, the smiling faces of my family came into my sight. I quickened my pace, ignoring the pain that had burdened me for the last 21 miles. As I crossed the finish line, my husband and daughter dashed（猛冲）towards me, wrapping me in a warm embrace. At that moment, my eyes were clouded, my mouth wide opening, breathing heavily. “Mum, you're awesome!” shouted my daughter. Seeing the pride on her face, all the pain and suffering faded away（逐渐消失）, replaced by pure joy and accomplishment. So, I had completed my very first marathon, and it was an experience I marked a breakthrough（突破）in my life.
