An old man named Mr. Candido Filio was one of our regular customers at the restaurant. He was one of the most intelligent people Ive ever known.Every Sunday the Philippine Star Newspaper had a special page for word puzzles and among his peers (同龄人), Mr. Filio held the record for solving all the puzzles in less than five minutes. He encouraged me to solve them too and for months and months, I did my best to beat him but failed.Then one Sunday, I did it! I was able to complete them before anyone else. Everyone cheered for me. He came up to me with a smile and said, “No one has ever beaten me before. Youre the first. Ill have a prize for you tomorrow. The next day, he gave me a special Scrabble (拼字游戏) set. I would have never been able to afford one like that by myself. Then he said to me, “Kate, what do you think is mans final goal in life? Happiness, isnt it? You are happy and that should be considered as a success. Many people spend a lifetime searching for that. Be thankful that you have found it. I looked at him and knew that my life had changed, probably forever. He must have known that I always felt sad about not having much money. He encouraged me to learn the game and love words. And true to his words, I was never able to beat him again. 41.

Fossett was most proud of being the first person to fly around the world alone in a hot-air balloon. To make a trip around the world alone, it was necessary to have an improved autopilot (自动驾驶仪) device. Fossett had one of his team members develop a more advanced balloon autopilot that would allow him to sleep and do other tasks while flying safely.Steve Fossett attempted the hot-air balloon trip around the world six times. This was not easy to do. He flew in the balloons capsule (密封舱) that was too small to stand upright. During his fourth attempt in 1998, he was almost killed during a storm off the coast of Australia. He fell 9,000 meters into the Coral Sea with his balloons capsule on fire. He was later rescued at sea.Fossett successfully made the trip in . The trip started and ended in Australia. He traveled more than 33,000 kilometers for more than 14 days. On this flight, Fossett set other records including a speed record of 322 kilometers per hour. One main problem with earlier balloon flights was the threat of dangerous storms. A team of weather experts e-mailed and talked to Fossett by a satellite telephone to help him avoid such weather. Steve Fossetts hot-air balloon is now at the Smithsonians National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. It is there as an example for other people to try and succeed in doing something important to them.49. What did Steve Fossett specially prepare for the trip around the world?A.

Some trailers are so well equipped that people can comfortably live in them full time.Almost all campers (露营车) are considered as recreational vehicles (RVs). RVs include motor homes, trailers, house trailers and truck campers. The smaller trailers usually have just enough room for two people to sleep and store a few personal travel items. Some of the larger motor homes include a kitchen, a bathroom, an eating area and even a bedroom. While tent camping is always an adventure, campers are a fun way to take a long trip, or to spend some more comfortable time in a beautiful setting, like a lakeside campground. So many camper trailers have been designed for people to live in the trailer long term. Some people choose to park their trailers in trailer parks and live in their trailers full time.
