THE NEW YORK MARATHON Every year since 1970, thousands of people
have entered the New York Marathon.
Some of them train very (1)
all
year for the race and they wait
(2)
for the race to begin.
Other people enter just for fun, or perhaps
to raise money for charity. They often wear
funny clothes to run the race.
The real runners (3)
beat them
in the race, of course, but they don't care!
They know they are doing it for a good
reason. They run (4)
, and they
are happy if they can finish the race
(5) -
without getting hurt. They
shout and cheer very (6) -
when
they get to the end. They know they've
raised lots of money!
