I work at a grocery store in Montreal's Plateau neighbourhood，which gets a lot of regulars.On March 12，the Quebec government announced to close all public places to stop the spread of the pandemic（流行?。﹐f coronavirus.
   The next day the store was the busiest I've ever seen.The six cash registers had to be kept open from 10 a.m.until close. It was nuts.I didn't have time to eat lunch，and whenever one of us on cash had to use the bathroom，we'd have to bring in a coworker off the floor to cover for us.
   Since then，the atmosphere in the store has been different.Customers are mostly considerate，but whenever someone coughs or sneezes，everyone turns around to make sure that person sneezed into their elbow.I've even seen customers come in wearing some strange get-ups.One guy even came in with a plastic Walmart bag wrapped around his entire head，with a slit cut out for his eyes.
   A lot of my coworkers have left to avoid a public-facing job during the pandemic.Grocery store workers across Canada are putting their health at risk every time they come in to work，but a lot of us are still making close to minimum wage.I realized that I feel more exhausted than normal even though I'm working the same hours.
   There still have been some moments of kindness in the midst of the chaos.I've overheard people talking on the phone who sounded as though they were organizing grocery deliveries for those stuck at home.And this past weekend a very nice lady thanked us for continuing to work.I know everyone is worried，but it's unless having the same scary conversations day after day.Instead，tell us a funny anecdote，or about Homething nice.We'll appreciate the distraction，and you'll make our day just a bit brighter.

  • 2．Sidney Keys，14-year-old，has started a youth-led book club program，with the support and help of his mom，to help empower both himself and many other boys with mental or physical problems through literature.
       Keys' idea to create Books N Bros was born from his own setbacks and struggles. "I used to have a really bad stutter and perform badly in school and I would get laughed at for it，" Sidney Keys，the founder of the book club Books N Bros said. "Reading was kind of my escape from my stutter because in my head I was able to imagine things and play out all the events clearly." He said， "I wanted to start up Books N Bros so that I could talk to other people，especially boys，about books I love in a relaxing way because it's like a brotherhood."

       "I always wanted to read books that had characters that looked like me，but now I see a comic book with me in it，" Keys said delightedly. "It's really awesome，especially when I hear my friends and teachers call me my superhero name at school."
       As for the future of Books N Bros，Keys and his mom hope to expand the programs reach throughout the country. "Getting Books N Bros in schools across America，we don't want transportation to be an issue for getting that physical brotherhood and bond.It just benefits so many people，and it keeps me going，" Keys explained.

  • 3．My First Marathon（馬拉松） A month before my first marathon，one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks，leaving me only two weeks to train.Yet，I was determined to go ahead.
       I remember back to my 7th year in school.In my first P.E.class，the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball.I didn't do either well.He later informed me that I was "not athletic".
       The idea that I was "not athletic" stuck with me for years.When I started running in my 30s，I realized running was a battle against myself，not about competition or whether or not I was athletic.It was all about the battle against my own body and mind.A test of wills!
       The night before my marathon，I dreamed that I couldn't even find the finish line.I woke up sweating and nervous，but ready to prove something to myself.
       Shortly after crossing the start line，my shoe laces（鞋帶）became untied.So I stopped to readjust.Not the start I wanted!
       At mile 3，I passed a sign："GO FOR IT，RUNNERS!"
       By mile 17，I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly.Despite the pain，I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
       By mile 21，I was starving!
       As I approached mile 23，I could see my wife waving a sign.She is my biggest fan.She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m.or questioned my expenses on running.
       I was one of the final runners to finish.But I finished!And I got a medal.In fact，I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.
       Determined to be myself，move forward，free of shame and worldly labels（世俗標簽），I can now call myself a "marathon winner".

    （1）A month before the marathon，the author
    .
    A．was well trained
    B．felt scared
    C．made up his mind to run
    D．lost hope
    （2）Why did the author mention the P.E.class in his 7th year？

    A．To acknowledge the support of his teacher.
    B．To amuse the readers with a funny story.
    C．To show he was not talented in sports.
    D．To share a precious memory.
    （3）How was the author's first marathon？

    A．He made it.
    B．He quit halfway.
    C．He got the first prize.
    D．He walked to the end.
    （4）What does the story mainly tell us？

    A．A man owes his success to his family support.
    B．A winner is one with a great effort of will.
    C．Failure is the mother of success.
    D．One is never too old to learn.
