2.Molly Wilson had been a dancer and a mother for many years when she decided to sail round the world to raise money for charity. As a child she had trained as a ballet dancer, but at 15 she had grown too tall for classical ballet, so she became a member of a pop dance team. She got married, and after she had children she retired from show business to bring them up. They grew up, and when they were 18 they left home. She says, "When I decided to do the round-the-world race, my husband thought I was bored because the children had left home. He was also worried because I had never sailed before. I was not bored, but I had met some people who told me about the race. They had taken part in it, but they had only done one section, say, from New Zealand to Australia. I wanted to do the whole ten-month journey." Before Molly left she did a lot of training, but it hadn't prepared her for the worst weather which they experienced. She tells one story. 'One night the sea was very rough and it was very cold. I had gone downstairs when a huge wave smashed into the boat and injured two men on the deck. One of the men couldn't move because he had broken his leg. They were taken to hospital by helicopter. That was the worst time.' By the end of October last year, she had raised more than ?50,000 for charity. She says, 'Sometimes I ask myself, what did I do? How did I do it? But then I think, it's the same as being a dancer. Before I left on the trip, I had trained hard. I had got very fit and had prepared myself completely. Then on the trip I was simply a good team member.'1.What does the word 'extraordinary' mean in the title?2.

    Bum rate is the speed at which a start up business consumes money. My rate would be $50,000 a month when my new media company started. So, I began looking around for individuals who would be my first investors. "Angel money" it was called. But when I reviewed my list of acquaintances to find those who might be able to help, I found the number got small.
    With no other choices, I began meeting with the venture-capital companies. But I was warned they took a huge share of your company for the money they put in. And if you struggled, they could drop you cold.
    As I was searching for "angel money", I started to build a team who trusted me even though I didn′t have money for paying checks yet.
    Bill Becker was an expert in computer programming and image processing at a very famous Media Lab at M.I.T. With his arrival, my company suddenly had a major technology "guy" in-house.
    Katherine Henderson, a film maker and a former real-estate dealer, joined us as our director of market research. Steve White came on as operating office. He had worked for the developer of a home-finance software, Quicken. We grabbed him.
    We had some really good people, but we still didn′t have enough money. One night, my neighbor, Louise Johnson, came for a visit. She and I were only nodding acquaintances, but her boys and ours were constant companions. She ran a very good business at the time.
    Louise was brilliant and missed nothing. She had been watching my progress closely. She knew I was dying for money and I had prospects but could offer no guarantees of success.
    She told me that her attorney had talked to mine and the terms had been agreed upon. She handed me an envelope. Inside was a check for $500,000.
    I almost fell down. I heard her voice as if from heaven.
    "I have confidence in your plan," she said. "You′ll do well. You′re going to work for it, but it′ s satisfying when you build your own company."
    Who could have thought I′ d find an angel so close to home? There were no words sufficient for the moment. We just said good night. She left and I just stood there, completely humbled and completely committed.
    Louise decided to lend money to the author because _____________.

    A.she wanted to join his company
    B.she knew he would build a team
    C.she knew his plan would succeed
    D.she wanted to help promote his sales

    答案:C

    Oseola McCarty

    Late one Sunday afternoon in September 1999,Oseola McCarty,an elderly cleaning lady passed away
    in the little wooden flame house where she had lived and worked most of her life.It may seem like an ordinary
    end to a humble life,but there was something quite exceptional about this woman.
    In the summer of 1995,McCarty gave $150,000,most of the money she had saved throughout her life,
    to the University of Southern Mississippi in her hometown. The money was to help other Mrican Americans
    through university.She had started her savings habit as a young child when she would return from school to
    clean and iron for money which she would then save.
    She led a simple,枷gal existence,never spending on anything but her most basic needs.Her bank
    also advised her on investing her hard-earned savings.
    When she retired,she decided that she wanted to use the money to give children of limited means the
    opportunity to go to university.She had wanted to become a nurse,but had to leave school to look after ill
    relatives and work.When asked why she had given her life savings away,she replied,"I'm giving it away
    so that children won't have to work so hard,like I did."After news of her donation hit the media,over 600
    donations were made to the scholarship fund.One was given by media executive,Ted Turner,who reputedly
    gave a billion dollars.
    She didn't want any fuss made over her gift,but the news got out and she was invited all over the United
    States to talk to people.Wherever she went,people would come up to her to say a few words or just touch
    her. She met the ordinary and the famous,President Clinton included.In the last few years of her life,
    before she died of cancer,McCarty was given over 300 awards:she was honoured by the United Nations and
    received the Presidential Citizen's Medal.Despite having no real education,she found herself with two honorary
    doctorates:one from the University of Southern Mississippi and the other from Harvard University.Her
    generosity was clearly an inspiration to many people arid proof that true selflessness does exist.

    She managed to save so much money because________.
    A:she had ironed and washed clothes all her life
    B:she had worked hard,saved hard and invested carefully
    C:she had opened a good bank account
    D:she knew how to make money

    答案:B

    DOn May 23,1989, Stefania Follini came out from a cave at Carlsbad, New Mexico. She hadn’t seen the sun for eighteen and a half weeks. Stefania was in a research program, and the scientists in the program were studying body rhythms(节奏). In this experiment Stefania had spent 130 days in a cave, 30 feet in depth.

    During her time in the cave, Stefania had been completely alone except for two white mice. Her living place had been very comfortable, but there had been nothing to tell her the time. She’d had no clocks or watches, no television or radio. There had been no natural light and the temperature had always been kept at 21℃.

    The results were very interesting. Stefania had been in the cave for over four months, but she thought she had been there for only two. Her body clock had changed. She hadn’t kept to a 24-hour day, she had stayed awake for 20-25 hours and then had slept for 10 hours. She had eaten fewer meals and had lost 171bs in weight as a results! She had also become rather depressed(抑郁).

    How had she spent her time in the cave? As part of the experiment she’d done some physical and mental tests. She’d recorded her daily activities and the results of the tests on a computer. This computer had been specially programmed for the project. Whenever she was free, she’d played cards, read books and listened to music. She’d also learned French from tapes.

    The experiment showed that our body clocks are affected by light and temperature. For example, the pattern of day and night makes us wake up and go to sleep. However, people are affected in different ways. Some people wake up naturally at 5:00 am, but others don’t start to wake up till 9:00 or 10:00 am. This affects the whole daily rhythm. As a result, the early risers, on the other hand, are tired during the day and only come to life in the afternoon or evening!

    Britain's Solo Sailor

    Ellen MacArthur started sailing when she was eight,going out on sailing trips with her aunt.She loved it
    so much that she saved her money for three years to buy her first small sailing boat.When she was 18,she
    sailed alone around Britain and won the"Young Sailor of the Year"award.
    But Ellen really became famous in 2001.Aged only 24,she was one of the only two women who entered
    the Vendee Globe round the world solo race,which lasted 100 days.Despite many problems,she came second
    in the race out of 24 competitors and she was given a very warm welcome when she returned.
    Ambition and determination have always been a big part of Ellen's personality.When she was younger,
    she lived in a kind of hut(棚屋)for three years while she was trying to get sponsorship to compete in a trans-
    atlantic race.Then she took a one-way ticket to France,bought a tiny seven meter Class Mini yacht,slept
    under it while she was repairing it,and then she raced it 4,000 kilometers across the Atlantic in 1997,alone
    for 33 days.
    Ellen has had to learn many things,because sailing single-handed means that she has to be her own cap-
    tamn,electrician,sailmaker,engineer,doctor,journalist,cameraman and cook.She also has to be very ft,and
    because of the dangers of sleeping for long periods of time while she's in the middle of the ocean,she has
    trained herself to sleep for about 20 minutes at a time.
    And she needs courage.Once,In the middle of the ocean,she had to climb the mast(桅杆)of a boat to
    repair the sails一at four o'clock in the morning,with 100 kph winds blowing around her.It took her many
    hours to make the repairs;Ellen says:"I was exhausted when I came down.It's hard to describe how it feels
    to be up there.It's like trying to hold onto a big pole,which for me is just too big to get my arms around,with
    someone kicking you all the time and trying to shake you off."
    But in her diary , Ellen also describes moments which make it all worthwhile(值得的): " A beautiful
    sunrise started the day,with black clouds slowly lit by the bright yellow sun.I have a very strong feeling of
    pleasure,being out here on the ocean and having the chance to live this.I just feel lucky to be here."

    Ellen lived in a kind of hut for three years___________.
    A:while she was learning how to repair sails
    B:while she was trying to get financial support for a race
    C:because she was interested in country life
    D:because she was ambitious for the coming race

    答案:B
    解析:
    短文第二段提到,“她是进人Vendee Globe环球个人帆船比赛的两个女选手之一”,“尽 管遇到了许多困难,在24名参赛的选手中她获得了第二名。"D选项与文章内容相符,因此,答案为D。
    短文第三段第二句指出:“为了努力获得赞助去参加穿越大西洋的帆船比赛,她在一个 棚屋里住了三年。”选项B中的短语get financial support for a race与文章中的短语get sponsor-ship to compete in a transatlantic race同义。因此,B为正确答案。
    solo意为“唯一的;单独的”。 single-handed“单人完成的;独自”。
    仔细阅读短文第四段可以判断出选项B“她必须是自己的教师”没有在这一段出现。因此,这个选项不符合文章内容。
    短文最后一段记述了Ellen当时的心情,清楚地表现了Ellen快乐的心情。因此,答案为C。第二篇 短文讲的是“一间房”学校对美国人的影响。
