A cancer survivor has become the first woman to complete an exhausting "Sea to Summit" triathlon(三項全能運動)which saw her swim,cycle,and run over 330 miles in just five days.Andrea Mason was overjoyed when she crossed the finish line early Wednesday morning.
   The race was set in the French Alps.Setting off at 6:15 am on Friday,39-year-old Mason battled through severe pain,and hallucinations(幻覺),but she pushed on-managing to complete the race in an impressive four days,23 hours,and 41 minutes.Andrea had been diagnosed with cancer and needed life-saving surgery.Following a successful operation,she is now hoping to raise awareness of women's health.In the past year,Andrea set up her own charity,Lady Talk Matters,in order to improve surrounding female's health.
   Andrea,from Blackpool in Lancashire,England,said, "I am so happy all went according to plan as there were so many things that could have gone wrong.I wanted to do it in five days,and I did,but it was very tough.I had some low moments,particularly when I couldn't sleep in my limited rest periods,and when I couldn't keep any food down as I was running.For sure I had some doubts along the way as I was exploring the unknown with such a huge run,particularly as large parts of it were in the dark.It was bigger than I imagined,the impact on my body was huge.But every time I felt like giving up,I thought about all the women out there in pain or who still hadn't been diagnosed.That is why I put myself through this.."
   Andrea had to swim 23 miles around Lake Annecy,cycle 205 miles with 30,000 feet of vertical climbing around Mont Blanc,and run 105 miles with 4,000 feet of vertical climbing around The Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc.You could say Andrea's actually spent a lifetime training for an event like this.She completed her first three-mile race "powered by chocolate bars" when she was just four.

  • 1.It was a quiet village in which there was a military camp(軍營).It was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around.Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers.But it was difficult for the young men to go outside.Mr.White,an officer of forty,was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.
       Once Mr.White was ill in bed.He couldn't work and a young officer,Mr.Hunt,began to train the new soldiers instead of him.He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday.But night fell and none came back to the camp.He was worried about it and stood at the gate.It was five to twelve when Mr.Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening with the young men.He started the car quickly and set off.At that moment the nine soldiers came back.It seemed they were all drunk.Of course they found the officer was angry.
       "I'm sorry,sir," said the first soldier. "I left the town on time.But something was wrong with my bus on my way here.I had to buy a horse and made it run fast.Bad luck!It died and I had to run back."
       And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons.It was the last soldier's turn.He said,"I'm sorry,sir.I got on a bus on time,but…"
       Having heard this,the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once.He called out, "If you say something was wrong with your bus,I'll punish you at once!"
       "No,no,sir," said the young man. "My bus was all right,but the dead horse were in its way!"

  • 2.There is an old saying in Chinese: "To do a good job,one must first sharpen one's tools." When it comes to photography,however,it's not exactly the case.In this year's National Geographic Travel Photo Contest,Greenlandic Winter,a picture by Chinese photographer Chu Weimin,took first place in the cities category and won the overall grand prize as well.
       When asked why he chose Upernavik,a small fishing village in Greenland,to take his pictures,Chu described the first time he spotted the village from an airplane. "Through my entire flight,I could only see the land,covered by pure white ice and snow.But I suddenly saw a big,warm dot in the far distance — Upernavik," he told National Geographic. "The beauty of this tranquil(寧靜的)village was beyond my imagination.It was a 'wow' moment for me." This ability to identify a "wow moment" is what makes a good travel photographer.
       According to Chu,he was moved by Upernavik's blue tint at dusk,the warm yellow light from the windows,and the family of three walking along the snowy street.Although he is a professional photographer,many of Chu's Greenland pictures were shot with his phone.
       This attitude echoes that of Austrian-American photographer Ernest Haas(1921-1986).Haas told his students that they were too obsessed with cameras to understand the essence of photography. "The camera doesn't make a bit of difference," Haas said. "All of them can record what you are seeing.But you have to SEE."
       Perhaps it's not just in photography that we've put too much emphasis on the role of tools.How many of you are reluctant to start a new sport or learn new software simply because you don't yet have the "right" outfit(裝備)or computer?
       It's true that "sharpened" tools make the work easier,hut as reporter Abhilash Pavuluri wrote on Firstpost: "In the end,it's really the artist that makes a good painting,not the paintbrush."

    (1)What do we know about Chu Weimin?

    A.He is better at photographing people than scenery.
    B.His award-winning picture is set in a peaceful village.
    C.His shooting style stands out from other photographers.
    D.He is the first Chinese person to win the National Geographic Photo Contest.
    (2)What's the main purpose of Paragraph 3?

    A.To explain why Chu's picture stands out.
    B.To introduce Chu's love for Upernavik.
    C.To recommend a good place for taking photos.
    D.To describe Chu's inspiration for the winning picture.
    (3)What makes a good photographer,according to Haas?

    A.The ability to find beauty.
    B.Enthusiasm for photography.
    C.Having rich parents.
    D.Owning the best camera equipment.
    (4)The underlined word "reluctant" in paragraph 5 has the closest meaning to
    .
    A.glad
    B.unwilling
    C.confident
    D.supposed
