An Extraordinary Change of Direction
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.

She says,"When I decided to do the round-the-world race, my husband thought I was borerd 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 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."

第13题:
I arrived in the United Stated on February 6, 1966, but I remember my first day here very clearly. My friend was waiting for me when my plane landed at Kennedy Airport at three o'clock in the afternoon. The weather was very cold and it was snowing, but I was too excited to mind. From the airport, my friend and I took a taxi to my hotel. On the way, I saw the skyline of Manhattan for the first time and I stared in astonishment at the famous skyscrapers and their man-made beauty. My friend helped me unpack at the hotel and then left me because he had to go back to work. He promised to return the next day.
Shortly after my friend had left, I went to a restaurant near hotel to get something to eat. Because I couldn't speak a word of English, I couldn't tell the waiter what I wanted. I was very upset and started to make some gestures, but the waiter didn't understand me. Finally, I ordered the same thing the man at the next table was eating. After dinner, I started to walk along Broadway until I came to Times Square with its movie theatres, neon lights, and huge crowds of people. I did not feel tired, so I continued to walk around the city. I wanted to see everything on my first day. I knew it was impossible, but I wanted to try.
When I returned to the hotel, I was tired out, but I couldn't sleep because I kept hearing the fire and police sirens during the night. I lay awake and thought about New York. It was a very big and interesting city with many tall buildings, big cars, and full of noise and busy people. I also decided right then that I had to learn to speak English.

Dentists always ask questions when it is impossible for you to answer.One day ,my dentist had just pulled out one of my teeth and asked me to sit in a chair to rest for a while.

He then asked me how my brother was and whether I liked my new job.
As I could not speak ,l either nodded or made strange noises to answer these questions. At the same time ,l tr;ed hard to use my tonguec舌头) to find the hole(洞) in the place of my bad tooth. Suddenly I felt very worried because the bad tooth was still there ,but I could not say any- thing. At last the dentist pulled the cotton-wool out of my mouth ,and I was able to tell lum that he had pulled out the wrong tooth.

第15题:
I met him on the Internet and we chatted for several months. Every time I suggested we meet in person,he would come up with an excuse. I thought it was strange-but he told me that he had not gotten over the death of his wife and he was still grieving for her.
I thought that he needed a friend and decided that I could be that friend. We sent cards, exchanged gifts,talked on the phone and I was sure that we would meet someday. I had spoken with his children so I was sure that what he told me was true. I could not wait for the day when we would meet. I was so looking forward to being able to reach out and touch him. To hug him,to hold him and feel his big strong arms around me.
After almost two years of time,thousands of dollars on long distance phone calls,I was very frustrated at the endless stream of excuses as to why we could never seem to make a time to meet. Finally,contacted the website WhoisHe. com and asked if they could check out the man who had taken up so much of my heart,my energy and my life. I had enough information about him and felt that if I could confirm what he had been telling me-I could feel okay about these delays. I had hopes that I didn't want to dash if he was telling the truth. I believed I could wait a little while longer.
Well, I am glad that I decided to have him checked out-he was nothing he claimed to be. He was first and foremost a married man. He was not a man grieving for the loss of his wife. He was a man cheating on his wife,with me-and I found out later,with countless others on the“net”. He did not care that he had hurt me in a very deep and pathetic way. He talked of spending his life together with me. He told my son that he wanted to make me happy. Basically,he just lied. He was such a good liar I did not see it coming. It was as if he had been able to worm his way into my heart-and he didn't care about the effect he had on my hopes and dreams.
Each of us should look at the signs that are so clear if we are willing to see them. Do not let someone keep making excuse after excuse. If something feels wrong-likely it is. It is good to know the truth and be able to deal with it. Next time I will pay more attention. I may never be able to trust someone online again.
It can be inferred from Para. 4 that______.
A.the man was a single person in reality
B.the woman was the man's only girlfriend
C.the man had too many girlfriends on the net
D.the woman had countless online boyfriends
