Wild weather, unexpected coral reefs and dangerous sea creatures… these are the nightmares (噩夢) you can imagine a teenager on a solo voyage (獨(dú)自旅行) around the world might suffer from. But for Laura Dekker, sailing around the globe seems less a price to be paid than a prize to be treasured.

As the 19-year-old Dutch sailor said in Maidentrip, a documentary（紀(jì)錄影片） released last year about her experience of becoming the youngest person to sail around the world alone in 2012, “I was born on a boat. I lived my first five years at sea. And ever since, all I have wanted is to return to that life.”

With her yacht(游艇) Guppy, Dekker began her journey at 14 and sailed 50,004 kilometers in 519 days.

The flying fish keeping her company, the dolphins following in her wake and the warm days spent on deck playing the flute (長笛) as she watched another unforgettable sunset were enough to make others jealous.

But these didn’t always go well. There were terrible moments in which Dekker feared death. On one occasion, a whale almost turned Guppy over. Another time, she battled extreme winds and Guppy surfed down 8-meter-high waves.

Out on the open sea alone, she also got used to living without a fridge, a flushing（用水沖洗） toilet, and a hot shower.

“As a human being you don’t need much,” she told Stuff.co.nz. “ They might make life more comfortable, but you really don’t need them to be happy.”

In fact, her outlook on life was shaped by the trip. “I wanted the storms. I wanted the calms. I wanted to feel loneliness,” she told The New York Times. “And now I know all these things. It’s the end of the dream I had as a child, and it’s the beginning of my life as a sailor.”

1.According to the text, in which year did Dekker begin her journey of 50,004 kilometers at sea?

A. In 2012 B. In 2010 C. In 2009 D. In 2011

2. The method the author uses to develop Paragraph 5 is ________.

A. offering analyses B. providing explanations

C. giving examples D. making comparisons

3.Which of the following can best describe the girl Laura Dekker? _________.

A. Modest and optimistic

B. Patient and hospitable

C. Brave and generous

D. Brave and determined

4. How did Laura Dekker think of her life on the sea?

A. It was so dangerous and almost ruined her.

B. It brought her great happiness and much comfort.

C. It is the sailing on the sea that made her well known.

D. Full of danger and challenge, it made her experience happiness and better understand life as well.

The world is filled with smart, talented and gifted people．We meet them every day．A few days ago, my car was not running well．I pulled it into a garage, and the young mechanic had it fixed within just a few minutes．He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine．I was amazed．The sad truth is that only great talent is not enough．

I am often shocked at how little talented people earn．I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100,000 a year．A business consultant (顧問) who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle with money．It was this business consultant that gave me the phase, “They are one skill away from great wealth”.

There is an old saying that goes，“Job means ‘just over broke(破產(chǎn)）’”．And unfortunately，I would say that the saying applies to millions of people．Because school does not think financial(財(cái)務(wù)的）intelligence is intelligence, most workers “l(fā)ive within their means”．They work and they pay the bills．Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn．

When I ask the classes I teach, “How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald’s?” almost all the students raise their hands．I then ask, “So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonald’s makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious: McDonald’s is excellent at business systems．The reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on building a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems．The world is filled with talented poor people．They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger．

1.How did the mechanic find the problem in the car?

A．by listening to the engine

B．by listening to what the author said

C．by pulling it to the garage

D．by driving it

2.Why do talented people earn so little according to the author?

A．They have no talents．

B．They have no good skills．

C．They don’t work enough．

D．They don’t have financial intelligence．

3.The success of McDonald's lies in its ．

A．skills at making hamburgers

B．excellent service

C．talented workers

D．good business systems

4.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．The world lacks smart, talented and gifted people.

B．The world lacks skilled workers.

C．The world lacks people like McDonald’s.

D．The world lacks excellent doctors and dentists.

When Armida Armato’s daughter, Alexia, came home from school one day last year keen to go on a school trip to Ecuador, she wasn’t too sure how to feel. She was happy that her daughter could experience something she never did as a teen but was fearful of letting her travel to such a remote part of the world.

Alexia was 16 at the time, a student at Westwood High School. The school sponsored a humanitarian trip for 26 students and two teachers to spend 18 days living in a mountain village to build a one-room school. Even though Armato trusted her daughter, the other students and the teachers, she was worried about the side effects from the travel vaccines, possible accidents, and medical care.

Now that Alexia was home, Armato said she saw her daughter’s new maturity, greater confidence and independence. “This is the best thing I ever did,” Alexia said. “The experience was so eye-opening and life-changing. You’re with people who are not as lucky as you are. They live in very poor conditions but they’re so happy and outgoing. You say, ‘My God. I’m taking everything for granted back home.’”

She said they built a one-room school from scratch with no mechanical cement mixers. They used their hands, shovels and basic tools. She and another student lived with a local family in a small village about eight hours outside the capital, Quito. Despite the initial strangeness and knowing only basic Spanish, she said they grew very close and felt like a family.

Every year, groups of students at Montreal High School like Alexia pack their bags and fly off with classmates and teachers to developing countries where they volunteer for a variety of projects.

“Armato’s worries are very common among parents,” says Bill Nevin, a teacher at St. George’s High School. He organizes a humanitarian rip to India to the Sheela Bal Bhavan orphanage and says the three biggest fears families have are health, security and contact.

1.When hearing the news that her daughter would go on a school trip to Ecuador, Armato was _______.

A． proud and happy

B． supportive but concerned

C． fearful and nervous

D． excited but puzzled

2.The underlined phrase “from scratch” in Paragraph 4 probably means “______”.

A． having great help

B． using high technology

C． ending up in failure

D． starting from the beginning

3.What would be the best title for the text?

A． Volunteering helps students grow and develop.

B． School trips make parents worried about their children.

C． Ecuador is the most attractive travel destination in the world.

D． Brave Alexia dreams to work in Ecuador one day.
