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 Iwas bored because the children had left home. He was also worried because Ihad never sailed before. I was

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 downstais 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 for chanity.
She says, "sometimes I ask myself, what did I do? How did I do it? But then Ithink, it's the same as being a dancer. Before I left on the trip,I had trained hard. Ihad got very fit and had prepared myself completely. Then on the trip Iwas simply a gook team member."

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. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the ―Potato Famine‖ of and thousands more were forced to emigrate to America.
There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the World‘s largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia. It is first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400‘s.
According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered when a goatherd named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the ―wide-awake‖ feeling that one-third of the world‘s population now starts the day with.
31. According to the passage, which of the following has changed the most in the last 500 years? ___A___
A. Food
C. Potato D. Coffee B. Chocolate
32. ―Some‖ in ―Some still exist today‖ refers to ________C___.
A. some cocoa trees
C. some shops D. some South American Indians B. some chocolate drinks
33. Thousands of Irish people starved during the ―Potato Famine‖ because _____D______.
A. they were so dependent on the potato that they refused to eat anything else.
B. they were forced to emigrate to America
C. the weather conditions in Ireland were not suitable for growing the potato
D. the potato harvest was bad
34. Coffee originally came from ___A____.
A. Brazil
C. Ethiopia B. Colombia D. Arabia
35. The Arabic legend is used to prove that _____C____.
A. coffee was first discovered by Kaldi
B. coffee was first discovered by Kaldi‘s goats
C. coffee was first discovered in South American countries
D. coffee drinks were first made by Arabs

短文理解3
Lily is 70 years old and she takes care of her 91-year-old mother. She told us about caring for her mother.
I wake up early every day, it‘s usually about 6.30 am, and wait until I hear Tilly, my mum, moving about. Then I make her a cup of tea. At about half past seven she gets up and we have breakfast together. We normally just have toast, but on Sundays we always have bacon and eggs. After breakfast she reads the newspaper, then she sits by the window and waves to the neighbours as they walk by.
She hardly ever goes out but she is very proud of her personal appearance, so she goes to the hairdresser once a month.
She doesn‘t liker being left on her own for very long, so I always arrange for a neighbour to come and sit with her when I go out. Now and again, my friend and neighbour, Joan, comes to spend the day with her, and I can go and have lunch with another friend, May, who lives in town.
I have a brother, Syd. He comes to stay two or three times a year. He is very good and keeps in touch, but he lives 300 miles away. Once a year, he collects mum and takes her to stay with him in London for a week. She doesn‘t really like going because it‘s a long journey, but I need the rest.
Sally, the nurse, comes to see mum regularly. My next-door neighbour, Jack, often calls in. In the evening we usually watch TV and we sometimes play cards. Mum is fantastic for her age. But I can never decide to go anywhere spontaneously. I always have to plan it, so I feel a bit trapped. But what is the alternative? An old people‘ home? I couldn‘t do that to my mother?
36. Lily wakes before her mother. ( T )
37. Joan sometimes spends the day with Lily‘s mother. ( T )
38. Tilly is satisfied with her hairdresser. ( T )
39. Lily‘s brother comes to visit every three weeks. (F )

PAT the Dog
Did you know there are some very special dogs doing good work in our hospital wards? These are PAT ( Pets As Therapy) dogs. Doctors and nurses are recognizing the benefits of pets more and more – particularly for children, people with mental illnesses and elderly people who are separated from their own pets or have had to give up their pets.
Stroking and playing with a pet is a calming experience and something to look forward to. One hospital reported that a man with a mental illness, who hadn‘t spoken for years, first stroked and played with a visiting dog and then started talking to it.
Today, around 4,500 dogs and 50 cats and their volunteer owners are at work in the UK bringing comfort and pleasure to over people in hospital.
There are many other ―working dogs‖. There are guard dogs, police dogs, hunting dogs and dogs for the blind. Disabled people benefit greatly. Take the case of Alan Smythe, who has to visit hospital every month. Some things are difficult for him because he is in a wheelchair. But his life has altered dramatically since he got a god, Tess, from the charity ―Dogs for the Disabled‖. ―She helps me to get dressed, and she brings me my socks and shoes. She fetches the newspaper from the shop, and she passes me the phone when it rings. I feel so much better too. It‘s like having a really good friend. She comes with me to hospital. Once, she saved my life. I am a diabetic and one day my blood sugar level dropped, and when I was going into a coma she went next door and she alerted my neighbour. He gave me an insulin injection.‖
26. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage? B
A. All the dogs are allowed into the hospitals to visit the patients.
B. Only some special dogs can help the patients feel better.
C. Doctors and nurses doubt if pets can bring comfort to the patients.
D. Doctors and nurses are aware pets will bring benefits to all the patients.
27. Pets are particularly beneficial to the following EXCEPT ___C____.
A. children
B. people with mental illness
C. the elderly people who live alone
D. the elderly people who have to live apart from their pets
