D. Read the passage and complete the tasks（根据短文内容完成任务）
People once said Rick would never think, never communicate, and never live a meaningful life. His father, Ben, refused to accept that this was the future his son had to face. He believed that even if Rick’s body was different, his spirit deserved every chance to grow, to feel joy, and to be part of the world.
When Rick became a teenager, something changed. Using a special communication device, he finally learned to express his thoughts. One afternoon, he typed a short message that surprised everyone — he wanted to join a charity run to support a classmate who had been injured in an accident. Ben was not an athlete at all. He had never trained seriously for any race. But without a moment of hesitation, he said yes. On the day of the event, he pushed Rick in a wheelchair from the starting line to the finish line. They were exhausted, but when they crossed together, Rick smiled in a way Ben had never seen before.
That single choice changed both of their lives. Ben discovered that when Rick took part in a race, he felt free in a way nothing else could give him. From then on, Ben practiced harder, waking up early to run and lifting weights so he could push Rick for longer distances. They joined more events — marathons, triathlons, and long cycling races. Ben ran while pushing Rick’s wheelchair, swam while pulling him in a small raft, and rode his bike with Rick sitting safely in a special seat. Their teamwork showed not only great strength, but also deep trust.
Over the years, the father and son completed more than 1,000 endurance races. Ben never called himself a hero. He simply believed that a parent should listen to their child and stand beside them, even though the effort is difficult and the body grows tired. To him, stopping would mean taking away the joy that racing brought to Rick.
Ben passed away in 2021, and Rick followed in 2023. But their story continues to inspire people everywhere. They proved
