B
Meet Ben Saunders: adventurer,athlete,motivational speaker. Ben,at the age of 23 ,was the youngest man to ski solo (單人滑雪) to the North Pole. He dragged a 180-kilogramme sledge (雪橇) over 1,420 miles through the worst Arctic conditions. This year,as
well as planning a return to the Arctic,Ben plans to ski solo from the Antarctic coast to the South Pole and back in the autumn,carrying all his supplies on his sledge.
Ben Saunders was fired after persuading the firm to support his disorganized first adventure. “Everything that could go wrong did go wrong. We were attacked by a bear. We started running out of food. It was just desperate. And we didn’t get to the Pole; we didn，t get there,so we had no media interest. No one heard about it: no book deal,and no speaking. I was so unhappy."
People said it was impossible for me to get to the Pole. I said, “No,I can get there,” and I did. Self-belief,I see it as being a bit like a muscle — it's my belief that the more you stretch yourself the stronger it gets. If you never do anything that's uncomfortable or risky then your self-belief gets weaker. So that's one of the lessons Vve figured out along the way. The thing that T ve stretched and tested is my self-belief.
“My Antarctic adventure is just practicable and that's what is exciting to me. If I knew it was possible,if I knew I could do it without too much bother,I wouldn’t be interested." Why? “Personally I'm attracted by the human performance element to it. Not that long ago,running a marathon was seen as the top point of human attempt,and now I wouldn，t be that surprised if my mum said she was going to run one next year."
People，s horizons (見識) are changing.“I'm not particularly gifted,and Vm absolutely average. T ve just chosen this one goal to achieve and Vve been working hard to realize it. That，s it. And that's the thing that attracts me: with enough training and enough determination,enough focus and preparation,how far can we go? And I don，t think I've found out yet,

In addition to showing support for their school,high school students with school spirit perform better academically,are more engaged in (參加) social matters,and are happier in general than their less-spirited schoolmates. These findings were part of an online survey of high school students,parents and (校長) . The new survey conducted by Harris Poll involved about 1,500 individuals who were asked about school pride,academics,self-respect and community involvement. The research attempted to discover how school spirit is connected to the way high school students learn,lead and grow.
School spirit involves a student's pride in his or her school,a student's tendency to get other students to be active in school events,and a student's plans to return to his or her school for special events after graduation. A Student who completed the survey stated that “school spirit means to support your school no matter what,knowing your school has helped you to reach your goals."
From academic achievement to general happiness,the survey (表明) a positive relationship to school spirit. Nearly all of the principals believe that higher levels of school spirit are tied to higher student achievement.
“When students feel a sense of school spirit,they tend to be more involved in the great opportunities which exist in their school,” noted one female principal who responded to the survey. “If they have a lower level of such spirit,they are not involved in athletics or many of the activities. Additionally,they do not take personal responsibility for not doing well and tend to blame the school. Students who are achieving strongly tend to be involved in all aspects of high school. They participate in different events,activities and athletics on site."
The survey indicated that during the 2013-2014 school year,high school students were involved in an average of eight after-class activities; and among those individuals involved in activity programs,51 percent said the reason they were involved was so that they could be involved in their school,and 34 percent said getting involved was a way to show thdr school spirit.
