完型填空。

The yearly Marathon (馬拉松) in my town usually happened during a heat wave. My job was to follow behind   _1_   in an ambulance (救護車) in case any of them needed medical attention.      "We're supposed to stay behind the last runner, so drive it    _2_  ," I said to the driver, Doug, as the race started.      The front-runners started to   _3_  and then my eyes were drawn to the woman    _4_  blue silk running shorts and a white T-shirt.      We knew we were already watching our "last runner." Her    _5_   were so crippled (殘疾的) that it seemed almost impossible for her to be able to walk, let alone run a marathon.      Doug and I  _6_  in silence when she slowly moved forward. Finally, she was  _7_  runner left in sight. Tears streamed down my face when I watched with respect as she pushed forward with great determination through the last miles.      When the finishing line came into sight, rubbish was everywhere and the    _8_   crowds had long gone home. __9_  , standing straight and ever so proud stood a lone man. He was holding one  _10   of a ribbon (緞帶)of crepe paper (皺紋紙) tied to a post (標桿). She slowly crossed through, leaving    _11_   ends of the paper fluttering (飄揚) behind her.      I do not know this woman's name, but that day she became part of my    12 _  a part I often depend on. For her, it wasn't about    13_  the other runners or winning a prize, but about finishing    _14_  she had set out to do, no matter what. When I think things are too difficult or I get those "I-just-can't-do-it," I think of the last runner. Then I realize how   _15_   the task before me really is. (     )1. A. the runners (     )2.
