023. Pacing Yourself
自己控制节奏
Everyone has to do the mile run test. Most people take it in middle school. The girls have to complete the mile under 12 minutes. The guys have to complete the mile under 10 minutes. Most people passed. Some people failed. They had to take it again. Michelle failed it. She was doing well in the beginning. She was in front of everyone. But she got tired. She started walking. She finished the mile in 17 minutes. She knew what to do the next time. She was going to go a steady pace. Not too fast, not too slow.
每个人都要做跑步测试。大多数人在中学接受考试。女孩们必须在12分钟内跑完一英里。小伙子们必须在10分钟内跑完一英里。大多数人都能通过考试。有些人通过不了。他们不得不重考。米歇尔没考过。她刚开始表现很好,在大家面前保持领先。但是她累了。她开始步行。她17分钟跑完了一英里。她知道下次该怎么做。她打算保持平稳的步伐。不要太快,也不要太慢。
