阅读下面短文，撑握其大意，然后从36—55各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项
The annual marathon in my town usually occurred during a heat wave . My job was to 36
behind the runners in an ambulance 37 any of them needed medical attention . The driver and I were in an air-conditioned ambulance behind approximately one hundred athletes 38 to hear the sharp crack of the starting gun .
“We’re supposed to stay behind the 39 runner , so take it slowly ,” I said to the driver , Doug , as we began to creep forward .
“Let’s 40 hope all the runners are fast !” he laughed .
As they began to pace themselves , the front runners started to 41 . It was then that my 42 were drawn to the woman in blue silk running shorts and a baggy white T-shirt .
“Koug , look !”
We knew we were already watching our “last runner” . Her feet were turned in , yet her left knee was turned out . Her legs were so crippled and 43 that it seemed impossible for her to be able to walk , let alone run a marathon .
Doug and I watched in 44 as she slowly moved forward . We didn’t say a thing . We would move forward a little bit , then stop and wait for her to 45 some distance . Then we’d slowly move forward a little bit more .
Finally , she was the 46 runner left in sight . Tears streamed down my face as I sat on the edge of my seat and watched with awe , amazement and even reverence (敬意) as she 47 forward with sheer determination through the last miles .
When the 48 line came into sight , trash (垃圾) lay everywhere and the 49 crowds had long gone home 50 , standing straight and ever so proud waited a man . He was 51 one end of a ribbon (带子) of crepe paper tied to a post . 52 slowly crossed through , leaving both ends of the paper fluttering behind her .
I do not 53 this woman’s name , but that day she became a part of my life –a part I often depend on . For her , it wasn’t about 54 the other runners or winning a trophy (奖品),it was about finishing what she had set out to do , no matter 55 . When I think things are too difficult or too time-consuming , I get those “ I-just-can’t-do-it” , I think of the last runner . Then I realize how easy the task before me really is .
