（2021·四川省成都市新都一中高二期末）xjwIt was late, about 10:, when Janice Esposito arrived at the Bellport, New York, train station. She jumped into her car, and began the 20-minute drive home. Having traveled the route so many times, she practically drove on autopilot. But suddenly, out of nowhere, a car crashed into Esposito’s minivan, pushing her backward onto the railroad tracks. She sat in the minivan, totally shocked by the impact and by the vehicle’s airbags.
As it happens, Pete DiPinto was getting ready for bed when he heard the high-pitched noi of the crash. A volunteer firefighter and retired teacher, DiPinto, never stopped to think. He ran out the door, still clad in his pyjamas.
The first car he came upon, 2, 000 feet from his front yard, was the one that had hit Esposito. Once DiPinto concluded the driver was OK, he looked around and spotted Esposi
to’s minivan lying on the railroad tracks. And then he heard an unpleasant sound: the bells signaling an oncoming train.
“The gates were starting to come down,” he told Newsday. “I e the headlight of the train.” DiPinto sprinted to Esposito’s minivan and banged on the driver’s side window. She just looked at him, her eyes unfocud. “I don’t know where I am,” she said. She emed unhurt.
“You’re on the railroad tracks,” DiPinto shouted. “We have to get you off right now!” He pulled the handle, but the door was smashed in and jammed shut. The heavy train, traveling at 65 miles per hour, was running toward them. DiPinto ran to the pasnger side and threw open the door. He grabbed Esposito’s arms, and managed to pull her out across the pasnger at. Within six conds, the train plowed into the minivan. “It was like a Hollywood movie,” DiPinto told reporters the next day.

（2022·江西·十个月宝宝早教临川一中高二期末）Once upon a time, when virtual races began on the running scene, I made fun of them. “Why would anyone want to do a virtual race?” I wondered. “What’s the point? You’re still running on your own and I do that all the time.”
Fast forward to the spring of 2020 when race after race was cancelled, and the goals that we had been going for simply disappeared into thin air. While my devotion to my sport was there, my enthusiasm for training without a foreeable goal race was not. It wasn’t l
ong before I found mylf thinking about virtual races.
“In the same way that we support small business,” I told my husband Dave, “We need to support the race directors. Racing is their business. And they have been good to me. There are so many races that have helped me become the runner that I am today. The race directors are struggling right now, so supporting them by signing up for a virtual race is the right thing to do.”
The more I spoke with Dave about this, the more I understood virtual races. “And they help charities, too. Hundreds of charities depend on fundraising from road races. Right now, that isn’t happening and charities are being hit financially. So a virtual race helps the race organization and charities. It’s a win for both.”
After knowing the Toronto Women’s Virtual 10k, I registered and ran on the following Saturday. I ran longer than I needed to (11.25k) and my average pace was slower than my 10k race pace, but I didn’t care. I knew I was supporting a charity. Though I was exhausted, I just wanted to cheer.
Race organizations are trying to stay on their feet and, quite frankly, we need them to survive if we want to return to racing in a post-pandemic world. Now, more than ever, is the time for runners to come together.
