Things didn’t go well for Henry, the village pancake maker. The Great Pancake Contest(比賽) was today. People from different places would try to win the contest .The villagers wanted Henry to win, but Henry had problems. There was not enough wood in the oven to make a pancake. Mice ate half the flour(面粉) during the night.

The villagers saw that Henry was having problems. The woodsman brought wood for the oven. The farmer gave Henry more flour. This was all very good but he was still missing one more important thing. There was hardly enough time for Henry to make his pancake and take it to the contest. But Henry decided to have a try.

As fast as he could, Henry put the wood in the oven. When he made the pancake, he thought, “When I had no wood, the woodsman brought me wood; when I had no flour, the farmer brought me flour. My good friends helped me.”

After Henry finished making the pancake, he ran as fast as he could to the contest. “I’m sorry, Henry,” one of the judges(評(píng)判員) said. “You are too late.” Henry's friends were sad for him, but Henry just laughed. “I’ m not sad! In fact，I’m happy!” he shouted. “I have good friends who helped me. Now, I have a wonderful pancake to share with them.”

1.Why did the woodsman and the farmer help Henry?

A. Because they worked on a farm.

B. Because they enjoyed making pancakes.

2.What was Henry’s biggest problem?

On Sunday 23 April, more than 30, 000 people joined in the 2017 London Marathon, running 26.2 miles around the city center.

The London Marathon has taken place every year since 1981. At the first one, just 6, 225 people completed the course, and since then it has grown into one of the most important sporting events in the world. Each winner receives $500, 000 in prize money.

However, most marathon runners are not professional(專業(yè)的).They run to raise money for charities or just as a personal experience. Many people do fun things to make themselves stand out, like wear silly clothes or do things instead of just running.

For example, Tom Harrison took three days just to reach the halfway point, as he was crawling on his hands and knees dressed as a gorilla(猩猩), trying to raise money and attention for ‘The Gorilla Organization’.

One exciting part from this year’s race was the story of Jackie and her husband, who got married on the morning of the marathon. Then they both ran the race, with Jackie doing it in her wedding dress! They were running to raise money for cancer charities, as Jackie was diagnosed(診斷)with cancer three years ago.

Matthew Rees was another runner to inspire(激勵(lì))people, as he stopped just before the finish line to help another runner run the last 200m.They did not know each other before, but Matthew saw that David was too tired to finish the race and wanted to help him finish.

Every year there are lots of inspiring stories like this from the London Marathon, and it is a huge achievement even to run the 26.2 miles!

1.The 2017 London Marathon is the _______ race.

A. 33rd B. 35th C. 37th D. 39th
