下面的文本材料中空缺部分里面要填的词都很简单,不过是一些值得注意的连读或者典型的美式发音哦,有些语速比较快。试试看,你能不能全部写对?

Lesson66 Running
Your heart is pumping as fast as your feet are moving. You take great strides, building up speed, until you reach a good 1 pace. Your sneakers are hitting the pavement 2 and the breeze is blowing in your face.
Running is an awesome way to enjoy the outdoors, build muscles, lose weight, and stay healthy. It's also a very important part of most other sports. So if you want to play football, basketball, or anything that requires speed, endurance, or general fitness, running will help you.
Running is often associated with a track team, but most people who run do it 3 . One of the coolest things about running is that there's always a style to match your interests, abilities, and attitudes. You can run at any speed, for any 4 , or with as many or as few people as you like. Many teenagers find running an excellent way of keeping fit and strong.

中文翻译和词汇注释
跑步
你的心脏随着脚步的移动以同样的速度跳动。你大步行走,慢慢加速,直到步伐稳定。你的运动鞋反复拍打着人行道,微风吹拂在你的脸上。
跑步是一种享受户外、锻炼肌肉、减肥、保持健康的好办法。跑步也是其他大多数运动的重要组成部分。所以,如果你想踢足球,打篮球,或者其他对速度、耐力或整体健康有要求的运动,跑步对你很有帮助。
跑步经常与田径队联系在一起,但大多数跑步的人是独自练习的。跑步最酷的地方就是总有一种跑步方式符合你的兴趣、能力和态度。你可以以任何速度,跑任何距离,和很多或者很少的人一起跑,只要你喜欢。许多青少年发现跑步是保持健康和强健的很好的方法。让我们听听他们是怎么说的吧。“跑步让我放松。我喜欢跑步并尽可能地练习。”“我两年前和姐姐一起开始跑步。我每天至少跑两英里。”“我最喜欢做的事就是长跑,因为它具有挑战性。我喜欢把我自己推向极限,看自己可以跑多远。”“我喜欢跑步因为学校里的孩子总是取笑我,跑步可以使我避开他们,它让我释放在学校里的压力。”
