文章讲解

My friend, Hugh, has always been fat, but things got so bad recently that he decided to go on a diet. He began his diet a week ago. First of all, he wrote out a long list of all the foods which were forbidden. The list included most of the things Hugh loves: butter, potatoes, rice, beer, milk, chocolate; and sweets. Yesterday I paid him a visit. I rang the bell and was not surprised to see that Hugh was still as fat as ever. He led me into his room and hurriedly hid a large parcel under his desk. It was obvious that he was very embarrassed. When I asked him what he was doing, he smiled guiltily and then put the parcel on the desk. He explained that his diet was so strict that he had to reward himself occasionally. Then he showed me the contents of the parcel. It contained five large bars of chocolate and three bags of sweets!

To understand what I'm about to tell you, you need to do something first, you need to believe in the impossible.
Can you do that? Good. You see that red blur? That's me. That too. There I am again.
My name is Barry Allen. I am the fastest man alive.
My story is pretty simple. My whole life, I have been running.

Usually from bullies. Sometimes I escaped. Sometimes I did not.
Tell me what happened.
Those guys were picking on kids just 'cause they thought they weren't cool. It wasn't right.
I know.
I guess I wasn't fast enough.
No. You have such a good heart, Barry. And it's better to have a good heart than fast legs.
Hello. I'm home.
Barry got into a fight.
Oh, yeah?
And he won.
Way to go, slugger. And, no more fighting.
But after that night, I was running from something much scarier.
Something I could never explain. - Henry! Henry! -Something impossible.
Help!
Mom! - Barry, don't! - Mom! - Don't let him touch you!
Mom! Mom! - Nora! - Stay back!
Nora, hold on!
Run, Barry, run!
Mom?
Dad?
