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 hadnt 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 couldnt 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 pounds for charity.She says, “ Sometimes I ask myself, what did I do? How did I do it? But then I think, its 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.”26. What does the word “extraordinary” mean in the title? _B_A. very ordinaryB. very unusual and surprisingC. not specialD. extreme27.

The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the “Potato Famine” of 1845-6, and thousands more were forced to emigrate to America.There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the Worlds largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia. It is first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400s.According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered when a goatherd named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the “wide-awake” feeling that one-third of the worlds population now starts the day with.31.

These are PAT ( Pets As Therapy) dogs. Doctors and nurses are recognizing the benefits of pets more and more particularly for children, people with mental illnesses and elderly people who are separated from their own pets or have had to give up their pets.Stroking and playing with a pet is a calming experience and something to look forward to. One hospital reported that a man with a mental illness, who hadnt spoken for years, first stroked and played with a visiting dog and then started talking to it.Today, around 4,500 dogs and 50 cats and their volunteer owners are at work in the UK bringing comfort and pleasure to over 100,000 people in hospital.There are many other “working dogs”. There are guard dogs, police dogs, hunting dogs and dogs for the blind. Disabled people benefit greatly. Take the case of Alan Smythe, who has to visit hospital every month. Some things are difficult for him because he is in a wheelchair. But his life has altered dramatically since he got a god, Tess, from the charity “Dogs for the Disabled”. “She helps me to get dressed, and she brings me my socks and shoes. She fetches the newspaper from the shop, and she passes me the phone when it rings. I feel so much better too. Its like having a really good friend. She comes with me to hospital. Once, she saved my life. I am a diabetic and one day my blood sugar level dropped, and when I was going into a coma she went next door and she alerted my neighbour. He gave me an insulin injection.”26. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage? _B_A. All the dogs are allowed into the hospitals to visit the patients.B. Only some special dogs can help the patients feel better.C. Doctors and nurses doubt if pets can bring comfort to the patients.D. Doctors and nurses are aware pets will bring benefits to all the patients.27. Pets are particularly beneficial to the following EXCEPT _C_.A. childrenB. people with mental illnessC. the elderly people who live aloneD. the elderly people who have t
