下面是一个中学生给某报编辑部写的一封信，仔细阅读并就信的内容以编辑的名义给此中学生回一封信。

Dear Editor

I am a high school student. I am a little overweight and I am embarrassed about that. I do not like going out any more for some people often laugh at me behind my back when I go for a walk. Certainly, I do not feel comfortable going to the gym to work out. Instead, I prefer to exercise at home, and it seems that I am always going on a diet. However, no matter what I do, my efforts to lose weight always end in failure.

And I do worry that my weight might damage my health. I’m not sure whether I should take weight-loss pills. There is news about a Canadian actress who suffered liver failure because of taking those pills.

What do you think I should do?

Best wishes

Guo Xilin

I ______ about doing it because it was too soon.

The ______ sent a signal. Thousands of runners pushed forward. The first kilometer was ______. I was already breathing heavily and painfully aware of the group of runners ______ me. Charles was trying to ______ me, to get me focused on something _______my discomfort.

After another minute I saw the three-kilometer ______. “Painful” couldn’t _____describe how I felt. And there was pain, so much pain.
