As a child she had trained as a ballet dancer, but at 15 she had grown too tall for classical ballet, so she became a member of a pop dance team. She got married, and after she had children she retired from show business to bring them up. 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 tenmonth 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 pounds 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 the trip, I had trained hard. I had got very fit and had prepared myself pletely. Then on the trip I was simply a good team member.‖ 26. What does the word ―extraordinary‖ mean in the title? ___B___ A. very ordinary B. very unusual and surprising C. not special D. extreme 27.

The last paragraph suggests that ____A______. A. the qualities she needed for the trip were the same as those for a dancer B. many years of dancing had already prepared her for the sail pletely, so she needn‘t do anything before the journey C. she should be kind to other team members during the trip D. she should not fet dancing during the trip 短文理解 2 In the last 500 years, nothing about people—not their clothes, ideas, or languages – has changed as much as what they eat. 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 1500‘s. 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.
