A teenager from Thousand Oaks received a warm welcome as he sailed into Marina Del Rey on July 16,2009,becoming the youngest person to circle the globe by sea alone.
Zac Sunderland arrived in Marina Del Rey with his 36-foot boat Intrepid at about 10 a. m. local time. During his 28,000-nauticaI-mile journey,he braved storms,equipment failures and a conflict with suspected pirates.
"It's great to be back," Sunderland,of Thousand Oaks,California,said after he was wel?comed home by a group of friends.
Fewer than 250 people have sailed around the globe alone,according to the American Sail?ing Association,which certified Sunderland's feat.
He left Marina Del Rey,just south of Los Angeles,on June 14,2008,and celebrated his 17th birthday at sea while off Africa's Cape of Good Hope.
His return was delayed near the end of his voyage when his boat had a broken bulkhead in rough seas off Mexico,forcing him to stop at Puerto Vallarta long enough to wait for his father to fly there to make repairs.
Another tense moment occurred in the Indian Ocean off Indonesia where the Intrepid was approached by a suspected pirated boat.
"The intruders fled after a plane flew overhead and Sunderland climbed onto its deck with a gun to keep them off," said Cilarlie Nobles,executive director of the association.
Sunderland,who remained in contact with his father by satellite telephone during the voy?age,threw the gun away before entering Mexican waters,where it is illegal to carry private fire?arms.
He becomes the first person under 18 to travel around the globe by sea alone,and the youngest to date. The previous recordholder was David Dicks of Australia,who completed his voyage in November 1996 at the age of 18.
( ) 1. Which statement about Sunderland's voyage is true?
A. He completed his voyage in about 13 months.
B. He is the first one to travel around the globe by sea.
C. His father flew a plane to drive the pirates off.

( ) 2. Why did Sunderland stop at Puerto Vallarta?

The United States government wants to know what the public thinks about its findings on the safety of cloned animals.
The Food and Drug Administration says meat and milk from clones of adult cattle,pigs and goats are safe to eat. An F. D. A. official called them "as safe to eat as the food we eat every day. " And when those clones reproduce sexually,the agency says,their offspring (后代) are safe to eat as well. But research on cloned sheep is limited. So the F. D. A. proposes that sheep clones not be used for human food.
The United States this year could become the first country to approve the sale of foods from cloned animals. First,however,the public will have ninety days to comment on three proposed documents. On December 28th the F. D. A. released a long report,called a draft risk assess?ment,along with two policy documents.
The agency says it must receive comments by April second. The F. D. A. seemed ready to act several years ago,but an advisory committee called for more research.
For now,the government will continue to ask producers to honor a request that they not sell foods from cloned animals.
Clones are still rare. They cost a lot and are difficult to produce.
The F. D. A. says most food from cloning is expected to come not from clones themselves,but from their sexually reproduced offspring. It says clones are expected to be used mostly as breeding animals to spread good qualities.
Public opinion studies show most Americans do not like the idea of food from cloned ani?mals. But this research also shows the public knows little about cloning.
Cloning differs from genetic engineering. A cell taken from a socalled donor animals is grown into an embryo (胚胎) in the laboratory. Next,the embryo is placed into the uterus (子宮) of a female animal. If the process is successful,the pregnancy reaches full term and a genetic copy of the donor animal is born.
