    Fat and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. “Football, tennis, cricket— anything with a round ball, I was useless,” he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the one always made fun of in school gym chasses in Devonshire, England.

    It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first he went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to ride the bike along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed and strength. At the age of 18, he ran his first marathon.

    The following year, he met John Ridgway and was hired as an instructor at Ridgway’ s  School of Adventure in Scotland, where he learned about Ridgway’ s  cold-water exploits, Greatly interested, Saunders read all he could about North Pole explorers and adventures, then decided that this would be his future.

    In 2001, after becoming a skillful skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition（探险）towards the North Pole. It took unbelievable energy. He suffered frostbite（冻疮）,ran into a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit, pulling his supply-loaded sled（雪橇）up and over rocky ice.

    Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North pole, and he’s skied more of the North Pole by himself than any other British man. His old playmates would not believe the change.

     (08·浙江A篇)

    Adrian’s “Amazing Race” started early when his parents realized that he, as a baby, couldn’t hear a thing, not even loud noises. In a special school for the hearing-impaired (听觉受损的)，he learned sign language and got to mix with other disabled children. However, the sight of all the disabled children communicating with one another upset his mother. She wanted him to lead a normal life. So after speaking to an advisor, she sent him to private classes where he learned to read lips and pronounce words.

         Later on, Adrian’s parents decided to send him to a regular school. But the headmaster tried to prevent them from doing so, saying regular schools couldn’t take care of a special needs student. His parents were determined to take the risk and pushed him hard to go through his work every day because they wanted to prove that, given the opportunity, he could do anything. Adrian made the grade and got accepted. It was a big challenge. The pace（节奏）was faster so he had to sit at the front of the class and really pay attention to the teacher, which wasn’t always easy. But he stuck to it and did a lot of extra work after school.

        The efforts made by Adrian and his parents paid off. Adrian graduated with good grades and got into a top high school. He also achieved a lot in life outside school. He developed a love for the outdoors and went to Nepal to climb mountains. He even entered the World Yacht Race 05/06—being the first hearing-impaired Asian to do so.

        But none of these achievements would have been possible without one of the most important lessons from his mother.“If you believe in yourself and work hard, you can achieve great results,”she often said.

    41. How did Adrian communicate with other children in the special school?

    A. By speaking.                                         B. By using sign language.

    C. By reading lips.                                      D. By making loud noises.

    42. Adrian’s parents decided to send him to a regular school because          .

    A. they wanted him to live a normal life

    B. they wanted to prove the headmaster wrong

    C. he wouldn’t mix with other disabled children

    D. he wasn’t taken good care of in the special school

    43. How did Adrian finally succeed in his study?

    A. He did a lot of outdoor activities.

    B. He was pushed hard to study every day.

    C. He attended private classes after school.

    D. He worked very hard both in and after class.

    44. Why is Adrian’s life described as an “Amazing Race”?

    A. He did very well in his study.

    B. He succeeded in entering a regular school.

    C. He reached his goals in spite of his disability.

    D. He took part in the World Yacht Race 05/06.
