【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 vaca with enthusiasm and with what I hope is a Spanish accent. The wish to enroll(使……加入) her in language lessons came, like most things, gradually and then in a sudden rush. In my day job, I read and edit stories about the Chinese economy. For a long time, I felt that it would be good for her to learn another language but I had no great plan as to when. Then I read Edward Luce39。s The Retreat of Western Liberalism and all my thoughts and worry about the economy bined into a panic. Waking in a sweat, it seemed obvious that if my daughter was to have any kind of future, she would have to learn another language. Ideally (理想地) immediately. I thought about Mandarin Chinese, one of the top 10 languages most important for our future, according to the British Council (others include Arabic, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Dutch and Japanese). But there were no classes for young children nearby. There were, however, local Spanish classes—the numberone language on the list. When she started to sing Incy Wincy Spider in Spanish and English—helped by a Spanish nursery workerour decision was made.（1）What can we learn about the author39。s daughter from the first paragraph?

American professional athlete Colin O39。Brady and British Army Captain Louis Rudd set off a mile apart at the same time on November 3, 2018, from the Atlantic coast with the aim to bee the first person to ski across the remote continent alone. Louis Rudd maintained the lead at first. However, O39。Brady caught up with Rudd on November10 and never let the British man get close to him again. O39。Brady was the first to conquer the 930 mile icy land, arriving at the Ross Ice Shelf on the Pacific coast by way of the South Pole on December 26, 2018. The 33yearold spent 54 days skiing the world39。s coldest continent while pulling a 300pound sled(雪橇) with supplies. Instead of leaving the harsh environment after pleting the historic adventure, the explorer set up a tent on the world39。s largest ice sheet and waited patiently for Rudd to plete the great undertaking. On December 29, just three days after O39。Brady arrived, the British explorer finished his adventure, being the world39。s second person to plete the solo crossing of the frozen continent.Rudd was not disappointed at being second since he never considered it to be a race. Besides, the 49yearold British Army Captain had a more selfless motive for attempting the feat. He was doing it in memory of his friend Henry Worsley, who had introduced him to polar exploration. The disaster happened while Worsley was trying to cross the continent alone in 2016. Rudd said, I didn39。t want to get drawn into a race. All that mattered to me was that I pleted it, and that I skied solo and unsupported, carrying the flag with Henry39。s name on it. After spending a few days camping 10 feet away from each other, the two adventurers were picked up by a helicopter to the South Pole scientific research station.（1）What do Colin O39。Brady and Louis Rudd have in mon? A.They became the first explorers to cross Antarctica alone, unaided.B.They became the first adventurers to ski across Antarctica.C.This is the first time that they have arrived at the South pole.D.They crossed Antarctica in honor of their friend Henry Worsley.（2）What do you know about the first leg(第一段賽程) of the race？ A.O39。Brady skied along with Louis Rudd side by side.B.O39。Brady39。s sled with food supplies broke down.C.Louis Rudd lost the tag with Henry39。s name on it.D.O39。Brady fell behind Louis Rudd for the first week.（3）What can we infer about Henry Worsley? A.He used to encourage O39。 Brady to explore the
