问题     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 dreamt 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 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, I can now call myself a " marathon winner".
Why did the author mention the P. E. class in his 7th year?
选项 A、To show he was not talented in sports.
B、To amuse the readers with a funny story.
C、To thank his teacher for the support.
D、To share a precious memory.
答案A
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段第三、四句“I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was ‘not athletic’. ”可知，作者提到7年级的事情是为了证明自己真的没有运动天赋。故选A。
