"Football, tennis, cricket anything with a round ball, I was useless," he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the one always made fun of in school gym classes in Devonshire, England.It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first he went hiking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to ride the bike along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed and strength. At the age of 18, he ran his first marathon. The following year, he met John Ridgway and was hired as an instructor at Ridgway' s School of Adventure in Scotland, where he learned about Ridgway 's cold-water exploits. Greatly interested, Saunders read all he could about North Pole explorers and adventures, then decided that this would be his future.In 2001, after becoming a skillful skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition (探险) towards the North Pole. It took unbelievable energy. He suffered frostbite (冻疮) , ran into a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit, pulling his supply-loaded sled(雪撬) up and over rocky ice.Saunders has become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he' s skied more of the North Pole by himself than any other British man. His old playmates would not believe the change.Next October, Saunders, 27, heads south from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, a 2900-kilometre journey that has never been completed on skis.56. What change happened to Saunders after he was 15 years old? A. He became good at most sports. B. He began to build up his body. C. He joined a sports team. D. He made friends with a runner.57. The underlined word "exploits" (paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to _.A. journeys B. researches C. adventures D. operations58. Which of the following is the correct order of the events that happened to Saunders?a. He ran his first marathon. b. He skied alone in the North Pole. c. He rode his bike in a forest. d. He planned an adventure to the South Role.A. acdb B. cdab C. acbd D. cabd59. What does the story mainly tell us about Saunders?A. He is a success in sports. . B. He is the best British skier. C. He is Ridgway' s favorite student. D. He is a good instructor at school.BPlanning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19, Oct.) cost £ 169.15 at Booking. Com. A week later, the same room cost £ 118.15.If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid or youre looking for a big event to pass your time check out sites such as W, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.STAY AWAY FROM THE STATION If travelling to your destination by train, you may want to find a base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.Dont be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodges Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was £ 95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £ 75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just £ 62.95. LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic ONeill Flat on Edinburghs Royal Mile, available for £ 420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.GET ON A BIKE Londons Boris bikes have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around £ 1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or £ 5 per day).60. The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may _.A. help travellers pass time B. attract lots of travellers to the UKC. allow travelers to make flexible plans D. cause travelers to pay more for accommodation61. “Farrington” in paragraph 5 is most probably _.A. a hotel away from the train station B. the tube line to Covent GardenC. an ideal holiday destination D. the name of a travel agency62. The passage shows that the ONeill Flat _.A. lies on the ground floor B. is located in central LondonC. provides cooking facilities for tourists D. costs over £ 100 on average per day in late September63. Cardiffs programme allows a free bike for a maximum period of _.A. half an hour B. one hour C. one hour and a half D. two hours CA young woman carrying a three-year-old child got on a bus. The conductor hurried to give her a warm welcome and then kindly asked the other passengers to make more room for the woman and her child. On seeing this, people began to talk. "You know this conductor used to be very rude. Now suddenly he has changed his bad behavior , "said a middle-aged man."Yes, he should be praised and we must write a letter to the company," said a second passenger. "That's right," another lady said, "I wish a newspaper reporter were here so that more people could learn from this conductor. "Just then a gentleman who looked like a teacher turned to the conductor and said , "Excuse me, but can I know your name, please? Your excellent service must be praised."Before he could open his mouth, the three-year-old child sitting on the young woman's lap interrupted, "I know his name. I call him Dad."64. One passenger suggested writing a letter to the company to _.A. make a demand for more buses B. thank the conductor for his good serviceC. criticize the conductor for his rude behaviorD. in
