Passage 2
Both my wife and I are running lovers. I usually run on the track in my neighbourhood. Most people walk on the track,so I am faster than them. My speed seems amazing to the walkers and I often pass by them twenty or more times as I run around the track. This makes me feel proud.
One day,a short man came. He didn't look like much of a runner. When I passed by two walkers,I saw him get out of the car and warm up before running. He started running a few metres ahead of me. He was fast but I tried to catch up with him. I finally had someone to compete with! But after a lap(圈),I fell behind him and had great difficulty in breathing. After two laps,my feet began to hurt,so I had to slow down and began to run at my usual speed. This time I could breathe normally again instead of sounding like I was gasping for air and the pain in my feet went away. In a very short time,he was far ahead. He was too fast for me to follow.
That day,I learnt several lessons. In life,there will always be people who are slower or faster than us. Some have natural talent,and some have trained harder. Don't judge the ability of a person by how he or she looks.
The point is that we each have our own speed. When we are trying to keep up,we often end up hurting ourselves and being out of breath. Slow down or speed up,but run your best race. Don't run when you should be walking. Don't walk when you should be running.
