I started thinking about doing a solo somewhere out of the ordinary. I took out and drew the 1,500-mile route along which I would be from the northernmost point in Norway to the southernmost section of Sweden. When I my plans with my dad, he as I thought he would. Because I get my adventurous from him, he was all for it.
I had only been away from my three days now, but there was an inner going on inside of me. Part of me was homesick and doubting whether I could make it. The other part of me was ready to to myself and my family that I could do it by myself.
On the road, I met another who was quite a bit older than I was. He had started his journey by bike at the southern part of Norway and had just finished. I could tell he had a great sense of . It encouraged me not to .
As I listened to my artists on my MP4 player, I pedaled (踩踏板) with my feet. There was around me for miles. , that wasn’t entirely true. There were mosquitoes--- millions of them. My arms were so dotted with that they looked like a topographical map (地形图). But, however it would be, nothing could stop my advance towards the destination. As you know, adventure is in my blood.

阅读下面的短文, 并根据短文后的要求答题。
Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers told me, “Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience.”
How right they were! Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends.
“Nothing was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson.①. It is the inner voice that whispers, “I can do it!” When others shout, “No, you can’t!”
It took years and years for the early work of Barbara Mclintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn’t stop working on her experiments. ②
We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air, whatever their age.
At 90, cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach. As the music flowed through his fingers, his stooped shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. ③ As author and poet Samuel Ullman once wrote, “Years wrinkle(起皱纹) the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.”
How do you rediscover the enthusiasm of your childhood? The answer, I believe, lies in the word itself. “Enthusiasm” comes from the Greek and means “God within”. And what is God within is but a sense of love---proper love of self(self-acceptance) and, from that, love of others.
④ If we can’t do what we love as a full-time career, we can as a hobby. Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kan, was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended periods of depression that had troubled her for at least 30years, and the quality of her work led one critic to say, “ I am tempted to call Layton as a genius.”
We can’t afford to waste tears on “might-have-been”. We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after “what-can-be”.
We need to live each moment wholeheartedly, with all our senses---finding pleasure in the backyard garden, the simple picture of a six-year-old, the charming beauty of a rainbow.
第一节:根据短文内容, 从A、B、C、D、E中选出最合适放入短文空缺处的选项,并将序号及相应答案写在答题纸上。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A. A. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.
B. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years.
C. It can certainly help you hang in there when the going gets tough.
D. Music, for Casals, was a hobby that made life a never ending adventure.
E. Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power.

Ed Viesturs grew up in Rockford, Illinois, where the tallest thing on the horizon was the water tower. But on Thursday, Viesturs became the only American to climb to the top of the world's 14 highest mountains.
His last hike was up Mount Annapurna, in Asia's snowcapped Himalayas. At 26,545 feet, its peak is the 10th highest in the world. It is the mountain that inspired him to start climbing.
"It tends to be the trickiest, the most dangerous," said Viesturs. "There's no simple way to climb it. There are threatening avalanches (雪崩) and ice falls that protect the mountain."
In high school, Viesturs read French climber Maurice Herzog's tale of climbing the icy Annapurna. Herzog's story was of frostbite (冻伤) and difficulty and near-death experiences. Viesturs was hooked right away.
Viesturs got his start on Washington's Mount Rainier in 1977, guiding hikes in the summer. Fifteen years ago, he set out to walk up to the world's highest peaks. Finally, he's done.
The pioneering climber talks about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with respect. "You have to use all of your senses, all of your abilities to see if the mountain will let you climb it," said Viesturs. "If we have the patience and the respect, and if we're here at the right time, under the right circumstances, they allow us to go up, and allow us to come down."
What's next for a man who can't stop climbing? "I'm going to hug my wife and kids and kind of kick back and enjoy the summer," says Viesturs. But for a man who's climbed the world's 14 tallest mountains, he will probably soon set off on yet another adventure.
1.What record has Ed Viesturs set?
A. He has succeeded in climbing to the world’s 14th highest mountain.
B. He has been to the top of the world’s 14 highest mountains.
C. He has become the first to climb to the height of 26,545feet.
D. He has become the first man to climb to the top of 14 highest mountains in the world.
2.The underlined word “hooked” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “______”.
A. frightened B. discouraged C. interested D. upset
3.The author used Viestures’ words in Paragraph 6 to support a view that ______.
A. mountain climbing is a dangerous sport
B. mountains should be regarded as living creatures
C. mountain climbing needs more skills than physical energy
D. those who like mountain climbing won’t stop climbing
4.What’s the next probably plan of Viestures?
A. Stopping climbing and staying with his family.
B. Climbing to the top of the world’s 14 tallest mountains again.
C. Climbing another one of the highest mountains.
D. Writing down the experiences about his adventure.
