不错哦 C I try to be a good father. But compared with Dick Hoyt, I suck. Eighty-five times he’s pushed his disabled son, Rick, 26.2 miles(1 mile = 1.6km) in marathons. Eight times he’s not only pushed him 26.2 miles in a wheelchair but also pulled him 2.4 miles in a dinghy(小游艇) while swimming and pedaled(蹬车) him 112miles---all in the same day. And what has Rick done for his father? Not much---except save his life. This love story began in Winchester, Mass., 43 years ago, when Rick was strangled（使窒息） by the umbilical cord(脐带) during birth, leaving him brain–damaged and unable to control his limbs. When Rick was 11, the Hoyts took him to hospital and asked if there was anything that could be done to help the boy communicate. “No way,” Dick was told. “There’s nothing going in his brain.” “Tell him a joke,” Dick suggested. They did. Rick laughed. It turned out that a lot was going on in his brain. Equipped with a computer that allowed him to control the cursor(光标) by touching a switch with the side of his head, Rick was finally able to communicate. And after a high school classmate was paralyzed in an accident and school organized a charity run for him, Rick pecked out（啄出）, “Dad, I want to do that.” How was Dick, who had never run more than a mile at a time, going to push his son 5 miles? Still, he tried. That day changed Rick’s life. “Dad,” he typed, “When we were running, it felt like I wasn’t disabled any more!” And that sentence changed Dick’s life. He became obsessed with giving Rick that feeling as often as he could. He got into such hard-belly shape that he and Rick were ready to try the 1979 Boston Marathon. In 1983 they ran another marathon so fast they made the qualifying time for Boston the following year. Then somebody said: “ Hey, Dick, why not a triathlon（三项全能）?” Now they’ve done 212 triathlons. This year, at ages 65 and 43, Dick and Rick finished their 23th Boston Marathon, in 5,083rd place out of more than 20,000 starters. Their best time? Two hours, 40 minutes in 1992-only 35 minutes off the world record. And Dick got something else out of all this too. Two years ago he had a heart attack during the race. Doctors found that one of his arteries was 95 percent blocked. “If you hadn’t been in such great shape,” one doctor told him, “you probably would have died 15 years ago.” So, in a way, Dick and Rick saved each other’s lives. 49.

C. all the efforts Dick put in to running with Rick kept him fit. D. when his father had a heart attack 2 years ago, Rick saved him. 52. What might be the best title of the passage? A.
