Switzer was at mile two when race manager John Semple, angered by a woman entering the male-only marathon, ran up and tried to push her off the course, yelling，“Get out of my race！” But with Switzer’s boyfriend knocking Semple back, she made it in four hours and twenty minutes. To mark the 50th anniversary of her barrierbreaking run, Switzer, now 70, plans to repeat the 26.2-mile journey.In the race, Switzer will wear the number 261, the same one the official tried tearing off 50 years ago.In her honor, the Boston Marathon will leave the number out for her in future races. Switzer has 39 marathons under her belt, including coming in first in New York in 1974 and running in the Olympics in 1984.The last time she finished one in Boston was in 1976，four years after women officially entered it. Switzer’s movement goes beyond letting women enter that race.Founding a nonprofit(非盈利的) international women’s running club, Switzer chose the name “261 Fearless”．“My goal is to reach women in places right now where they’re not allowed to leave the house alone, drive a car or get an education，” Switzer said.“If running can give women a sense of strength, and make them no longer victims and weak, that’s what I hope it can do.” 【解题导语】　在1972年以前，女性是不被允许参加马拉松比赛的。然而，1967年，一位勇敢的先锋站出来为自己、也为所有的女性争取权益，这个人就是马拉松界的女英雄——Kathrine Switzer。 1．How was Switzer able to enter the Boston Marathon in 1967?
