    Don’ t Rest on Your Laurels

    Have you ever heard the saying “Don’t rest on your laurels”？“ Laurels” means the achievements you have already got. The saying suggests that you shouldn’t be so satisfied with your achievements that you’ll no longer try to improve.

    As to this saying, Mike Perham has set us a good example. Born in 1992 in Hertfordshire, England, Mike was just 14 when he became the youngest person to sail across the Atlantic Ocean. You might think the achievements are good enough, but Mike doesn’t think so. At the age of 17，he became the youngest person to sail all by himself around the world on a nine-month voyage(航海).

    Mike is now 19, and he is still trying his best to break the records and push himself further. For his next adventure, he plans to fly around the world on his own, making him the first person of all ages to both sail and fly around the world.

    Mike wants his achievements to encourage young people to realize their dreams. Since his adventures, he has travelled widely, speaking at schools and youth clubs in the UK, Hong Kong and Australia on the theme of “Live the Dream”.

    Amazing Facts:

    Mike started sailing when he was seven.

    His trans-Atlantic crossing began at Gibraltar and ended in Antigua.

    His round-the-world yacht(游艇) was called TotallyMoney.com.

    People often said Thomas Edison was the greatest genius(天才) of his age. There are only a few men in all of history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be pleased only because someone said he was a genius. “There is no such a thing as genius,” Edison said. He thought what people called genius was mostly hard work.

    But Edison was a thinker as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. He tried to understand them, and then he tried to learn what he could usefully do with them.

    Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people would do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking could give men enjoyment and pleasure.

    Edison could not understand why anyone could not be interested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what idea he had about life. “Work,” he answered, “Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.

    1. What is genius according to Thomas Edison?

    A. Hard thinking. B. Hard work.

    C. Useful ideas. D. Useful inventions.

    2.How did Edison always deal with the secrets of nature after exploring them?

    A. To write down what he had learned.

    B. To carry out a new experiment.

    C. To make them useful in life.

    D. To share them with others.

    3.What does the last sentence in the passage mean?

    A. Edison was born to be a great inventor.

    B. Edison was able to live another 100 years.

    C. Edison was ready to make his 100th invention.

    D. Life was too short for Edison to work for human beings.
