But for Laura Dekker, sailing around the globe seems less a price to be paid than a prize to be treasured. As the 19-year-old Dutch sailor said in Maidentrip, a documentary released last year about her experience of becoming the youngest person to sail around the world alone in 2012, “I was born on a boat. I lived my first five years at sea. And ever since, all I have wanted is to return to that life.”With her yacht Guppy, Dekker began her journey at 14 and sailed 50,004 kilometers in 519 days.The flying fish keeping her company, the dolphins following in her wake and the warm days spent on deck playing the flute as she watched another unforgettable sunset were enough to make others jealous.But these didnt always go well. There were terrible moments in which Dekker feared death. On one occasion, a whale almost turned Guppy over. Another time, she battled extreme winds and Guppy surfed down 8-meter-high waves.Out on the open sea alone, she also got used to living without a fridge, a flushing toilet, and a hot shower.“As a human being you dont need much,” she told Stuff.co.nz. “ They might make life more comfortable, but you really dont need them to be happy.”In fact, her outlook on life was shaped by the trip. “I wanted the storms. I wanted the calms. I wanted to feel loneliness,” she told The New York Times. “And now I know all these things. Its the end of the dream I had as a child, and its the beginning of my life as a sailor.”24. According to the text, in which year did Dekker begin her journey of 50,004 kilometers at sea?A.

How did Laura Dekker think of her life on the sea?A. It was so dangerous and almost ruined her.B. It made her experience happiness and better understand life. C. It is the sailing on the sea that made her well known.D. It brought her great happiness and much comfort.CModern smart phones are fast becoming the must-have item.

Your roommates need to study for an exam may take priority over pizza. Your instructor may have good reasons not to change your grade. In such a world, persuasion is the art of getting others to give fair and favorable consideration to our points of view. When we persuade, we want to influence how others believe and behave. We may not always prevail other points of view may be more persuasive, depending on the listener, the situation, and the merit of the case. But when we practice the art of persuasion, we try to ensure that our position receives the attention it deserves.Some people, however, object to the very idea of persuasion. They may regard it as an unwelcome interruption into their lives. Just the opposite, we believe that persuasion is unavoidable to live is to persuade. Persuasion may be ethical (合乎道义的) or unethical, selfless or selfish, inspiring or degrading. Persuaders may enlighten our minds or get our vulnerability(脆弱之处). Ethical persuasion, however, calls on sound reasoning and is sensitive to the feelings and needs of listeners. Such persuasion can help us apply the wisdom of the past to the decisions we now must make. Therefore, the most basic part of education is learning to resist the one kind of persuasion and to encourage and practice the other.Beyond its personal importance to us, persuasion is necessary to society. The right to persuade and be persuaded is the bedrock of the American political system, guaranteed by the First Amendment to the Constitution.32.
