【文章內容簡介】 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 limited volume of her works appeared in1890, but it was Thomas H. Johnson39。s release of her plete body of poetry that made her works receive real acclaim. He published 1,775 of her poems in 1955 in a volume entitled The Poems of Emily Dickinson. Emily Dickinson was born in Amherst, MA in 1830. The Dickinson family was well known in the munity for their contribution to politics and education. Dickinson lived most of her life with her grandfather who was famous for having founded the Amherst Academy in1814 and later Amherst College in 1821. Emily Dickinson led a reclusive life, but her childhood was a happy one. She had the privilege of being educated at some of the most outstanding women schools in her time and devoted herself to reading all kinds of books. It was during her college years that Emily started writing. Some of her poems were published with the help of her female friends. However, the first serious attempt at having her poems published failed for her being rejected by The Atlantic magazine. This led the selfconscious poetess to believe that the public would never care for her works, and thus she never attempted to have any of her works published again. After the Civil War, Dickinson withdrew from society and had little contact outside of Amherst. Dickinson was very concerned with the subject of nature. Her writings are plex, and for many years scholars have searched for romantic inspiration, but have not yet understood her works. What is clear, however, is that her works can39。t just simply describe something in terms of a narrative style. Without doubt, Dickinson39。s works have greatly influenced and continue to influence modern poetry. In her time, her writing style was unique given that it included the use of dashes and capitalized nouns. None of her works rhymed, and she used unusual parisons when referring to events and situations. This unconventional method of writing has made her one of the most innovative poets of the 19th century.（1）Which of the following best explains acclaim underlined in the first paragraph?
