(2015·扬州模拟)Since the moment Darnell Wynn was diagnosed with ovarian (卵巢的) cancer,she has refused to let the disease keep her from her passion-running.This weekend she and a group of supporters gathered together and ran the Partner Re 5K route to raise awareness of ovarian cancer.She is a two-year survivor.
When she first received the surgery,one of her main concerns was when she could be able to run again.She was sent home to heal before returning for chemotherapy.“I came home,and never thought about cancer,” she said.“I thought I'd just had surgery and needed to heal.It wasn't until I went back and entered the chemotherapy room with my son that I really understood it was cancer.Then I really broke down.”
During and after treatment she ran whenever she could.She even participated in races—although she sometimes had to run

slower than she once did.Eleven months after she was diagnosed with cancer she was feeling well.She had just started a new job before she was diagnosed again.
When she first developed ovarian cancer,her symptoms had been back pain and lack of energy.This time,the only signs were high levels of ovarian cancer markers in her blood.“I went back to my doctor in tears,but apparently it is pretty common,” she said.Fifty per cent of women with early stage ovarian cancer will have a recurrence(复发) of it,and the rate goes up for women in the later stages.
The Bermuda Cancer and Health Centre is recognizing September as Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month.Wynn hopes it will help more women learn the symptoms and risk factors.
“The symptoms are often masked and a lot of women don't know that if they have a close family member who had breast cancer,they are at the risk of ovarian cancer,” she said.“I had two sisters who had breast cancer.Every year I went for Pap smears.A Pap smear only shows up cervical cancer,it doesn't show ovarian cancer.We think we are doing all the right tests.Women should know if they have a history of breast cancer,they should have a regular internal ultrasound as well,in addition to a Pap smear.”

While waiting for the Boston Marathon to start,my boyfriend and I wondered why we would like to run these

races.Running Boston is the highlight of many a runner's career.Merely qualifying is an accomplishment.For example,I had to run the 26 miles and 385 yards faster than 3:35 to get in.Then there's the fact that it's the oldest annual marathon in the world,and one of the six World Marathon Majors.I wasn't sure if I'd ever get the privilege to run it,but I made the cut last year in Los Angeles,by 39 seconds.
After Eric,my boyfriend,went off in the first wave of age group racers at 10 a.m.,I followed in the second wave,20 minutes behind.Once it warmed up a bit,it was a glorious day—perfect for running—and my appreciation of the Boston Marathon began to grow.I made good time during the first half of the race,but by mile 18 the pain had set in to my hips and knees.To post a good finish,I would have to try my best for the final 8.2 miles,using willpower and the cheers of the incredible crowds as my fuel.Throughout the race,I kept amazed at the spectators' goodwill.Then I remembered that I'd been in their shoes before.Both roles are incredibly rewarding—to give and receive support,to and from strangers.
The finish line was a blur (模糊不清) as I ran across it just after 2 p.m.,with a time of 3:43:36.Excited but exhausted,we runners stumbled down Boylston Street to pick up

water,food,blankets and medals.As we approached the yellow school buses that held our belongings,we heard the BOOM! We were concerned,but we didn't know what caused the two loud bombings a few blocks away.Maybe it was celebratory fireworks? Then we saw the smoke and knew something was wrong.
I made my way out of the area and ran into Eric—lucky because he was supposed to have waited for me in an area that was now inaccessible.Emergency vehicles raced by.
We held onto each other tight and found our friends who had come to cheer us on.With little information about what was happening or what to do,we found our way to a T station to head back to Cambridge.Neither Eric nor I had our phones,but our friends did.They posted a photo of us to let everyone know we were okay.
By the time we got back to the apartment where we were staying,Facebook was filled with messages of concern from our friends.We quickly posted updates and received an outpouring of support.
Eric and I both work for Facebook.I'm sure we didn't fully realize its power until today.I was surrounded not just by real friends next to me,but also by hundreds more through Facebook.These Facebook friends posted comments to our
