III. Reading comprehension:
Completing a marathon is considered very difficult, but many coaches believe that it is possible for
anyone who is willing to put in the time and effort. Obviously, most participants do not run a marathon to win.
More important to most runners is their personal finish time and their placement within their specific age group
and gender. Another very important goal is to break certain time barriers. For example, ambitious recreational
first-times often try to run the marathon under 4 hours; more competitive runners will attempt to run the
marathon under 3 hours. Many runners then prefer to finish for example in 3:29:59, which make “sub 3: 30h
marathoners”, instead of 3:30:01.
For more runners, the marathon is the longest run they have ever attempted. Many couches believe that
the most important element in marathon training is the long run. Recreational runners commonly try to reach a
maximum of about 20 miles in their longest weekly run and about 40 miles a week in total when training for the
marathon. More experienced marathoners may run a long distance. During marathon training, adequate recovery
time is crucial. If fatigue or pain is felt, it is recommended to take a break for a couple of days or more to let the
body heal. Overtraining is a condition that results from not getting enough rest to allow the body to recover from
difficult training. It can actually result in a lower endurance and speech and place a runner at a greater risk of
injury.
33. A marathon completion is _____________.
A. impossible B. easy C. not very difficult D. very difficult.
34. One of an important goal in a marathon completion is ____________.
A. breaking time barriers B. ageC. gender D. reaching the finish.
35. In marathon training, the most important is_________________.
A. the age B. the coacher’s belief C. the long run D. the recreation.
36. If a marathon runner feels tired or have a pains, ____________.
A. he should continue the training. B. he should quit running forever.
C. It is time for him to stop his training. D. he should take a break for several days.
 New words:
- recreational (a): thuộc về giải trí - endurance (n): sự chịu đựng, sự kéo dài
- time barriers: trong một thời gian ngắn.
B. Fill in each numbered blank with one suitable word or phrase.
