| Fat and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in hid 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. Next October, Saunders, 27, heads south from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, a 2900-kilometre journey that has never been completed on skis. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Pulling heavy suitcases all day in the summer is hard work, especially when you"re a thin 14-year-old. That was me in 1940-the youngest and smallest baggage boy at New York City"s Pennsyl-vania Railway Station. After just a few days on the job, I began noticing that the other fellows were overcharging pas-sengers. I"d like to join them, thinking,"Everyone else is doing it." When I got home that night, I told my dad what I wanted to do."You give an honest day"s work," he said, looking at me straight in the eye."They"re paying you. If they want to do that, you let them do that." I followed my dad"s advice for the rest of that summer and have lived by his words ever since. Of all the jobs I"ve had, it was my experience at Pennsylvania Railway Station that has stuck with me. Now I teach my players to have respect for other people and their possessions. Being a member of a team is a totally shared experience. If one person steals, it destroys trust and hurts everyone. I can put up with many things, but not with people who steal. If one of my players were caught stealing, he"d be gone. Whether you"re on a sports team, in an office or a member of a family, if you can"t trust one another, there"s going to be trouble. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 3. The writer can"t put up with stealing because he thinks that ______. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A. it is a totally shared experience B. it is considered as the most dangerous C. it does great harm to human relationship D. it may lead to the loss of his sports team | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Don"t Take the Fun Out of Youth Sports When I joined a private football league a few years ago, the sport meant everything to me. My coach (教练)said that I had lots of potential (潜力), and I became captain of my 1 . That was before all the fun was taken out of 2 . At first, everyone on the team got 3 playing time. Then the team moved up to the top division after winning all its games, and the 4 started. Some parents, who had paid the coach extra so their daughters could have 5 one-on-one training, got angry when she didn"t give them more playing time in our 6 . The coach was replaced. The new coach, however, took all the fun out of the game: All we did during practice was 7 . I always wished to God that it would rain so we would not have the 8 . Of course, all teams run drills; they are 9 . But we ran so much that, afterwards, we had trouble 10 . Younger people shouldn"t be doing exercises 11 for 18-year-olds. I was very thin 12 I started football, but as a member of this team I wouldn"t eat much, because I was afraid of being too 13 8 to run. I feared making mistakes, and the added pressure caused me to make more than my usual 14 . Is all this pressure necessary? I 15 up leaving the football team. Four other girls did the same, and two of them stopped playing football completely. That"s 16 , because they had so much potential. They were just burned-out with all the pressure they 17 from the coach or their parents. I continued playing football at school and 18 my love for it. I joined a private team coached by my school coach. When I started playing 19 him, he told me I needed to relax because I looked nervous. After I 20 down, I played better. When you enjoy something, it"s a lot easier to do it well. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
