A little boy invited his mother to his teacher-parent meeting. This would be the first time that his classmates and teacher 1 his mother. Although she was a beautiful woman, there was a large scar(疤痕) covering almost half of her 2 . The boy never 3 the reason for his mother's scar. He just didn't like it.
At the meeting, everyone felt 4 to see the mother, but the little boy was just embarrassed(尴尬) and stayed away from others. However, he heard a talk between his mother and his teacher.
The teacher asked carefully, "Is it okay to ask how you got the scar?
The mother 5 , "Sure. When my son was a baby, he was in a room catching fire. Everyone was too 6 to go in because the fire was out of control. Then I went in. As I was running towards(向着) his bed, I saw something heavy falling down and I stood over him trying to save him. It hit hard on my head. But 7 , a fireman came in and saved both of us." She pointed at the scar between her left eye and mouth. "Here left a big scar, but I never regretted(后悔) what I 8 ."
At this point, the little boy couldn't 9 the talk anymore. He came out and ran towards his mother. He was so 10 about his thoughts about the scar before.
At six o'clock, I arrived at Dodger Stadium. The other runners of my running group were already there. When they saw the look of terror on my face, they laughed kindly. This was clearly my first marathon (马拉松赛跑). So many runners from all over the world came here for the race. When I realized (意识到) that I was just one of them, I felt a little better.
As I started to run, I tried to forget the aches (疼痛) in my body from training. By mile 10, my feet hurt badly and I slowed down. By mile 15, I moved even more slowly. All the other runners moved forward and I ran alone. By mile 18, I was in my neighborhood. I wanted to turn down my street and go home, but I didn't. By mile 22, there were only four miles to go. I told myself, "Don't give up. Keep going!"
When I saw the finish line (终点线), I started running faster and faster, and I crossed the line. I was tired but excited. I made it. I ran my first marathon!

When it comes to Chengdu, people may think of its delicious food and interesting places. These days, a hotpot-themed (火锅主题的) bus has creatively combined (结合) these things.
The bus first appeared in Chengdu in May 2023. It gives a new experience to both locals (当地人) and travelers in Chengdu. People can not only eat hotpot on the bus but also enjoy the beauty of Chengdu along the way. There is also a guide talking about the culture of hotpot and the stories of the places of interest. People have so many things to do on the bus, so their trip is never boring.
At first, the bus only ran at 19:00 every day. Now it runs twice a day at 15:00 and 19:
00. It has 8 dining tables inside. In order to let people enjoy their food and the city's beauty safely (安全地), it travels slowly. It takes 90 minutes to travel about 10 kilometers.
The food on the bus comes from a famous hotpot restaurant. It is ready-to-eat food. People can eat it directly (直接地). ▲ However, everyone can find something they like on the bus.
Since the hotpot-themed bus is popular, there will probably be more buses with different themes on the roads in Chengdu in the near future.

It is important to learn to find new ideas and solutions (解决办法)."
