Billy Mills, a Native American, was born and raised on a reservation in the United States. Childhood was not easy for Billy. His family was not well off; he lost his mother when he was seven, and his father passed away five years later. After his father's death, Billy was sent to a boarding school. At school Billy started running to help him forget his problems. To his amazement, he found that he had a talent for running and broke a number of high school records. As a result of his running, he was given an athletic scholarship (奖学金) to the University of Kansas.
At the University of Kansas, Billy continued to win many competitions. After graduation he joined the United States Marine corps (海军陆战队). At first he focused (投入) on military (军 事) life , but he soon returned to running. He did well enough to race in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics in the 10,000 meters and marathon events.
Although he was on the US team, many people did not expect anything from Billy. In the 10,000 meters Billy was almost a minute slower than the favorite, Ron Clarke of Australia. The other favorite to win the Olympic gold was Mohammad Gammoudi of Tunisia. The rest of the runners included Olympic gold and world record holders. All eyes were focused on the front runners, not on Billy.
When the race started, everyone was surprised to see Billy Mill at the front with Ron Clarke. For much of the race, the two ran together with Gammoudi just behind them. Everyone else was out of the race, and the crowd expected Mills to tire and slow down.
Near the end of the race, Gammoudi ran between Clark and Mills and pushed them aside. The two of them almost fell over and Mills dropped behind into third place. However, Mills was determined not to lose. He raced ahead to win the gold, and set an Olympic l0, 000-meter record. He was the first Native American to win the Olympic l0, 000-meter race. 66.

D. the other runners stopped to watch Bill running 69. We learn from the reading that _______.
A. no one believed Bill could win a medal

C. other Americans had won the Olympic 10,000 meters before D. Bill won the gold but failed to set a new record
