The
well-known adventurer (冒险家)and explorer Steve Fossett,
born in 1944 in America, was famous for extraordinary efforts setting world
records in flying, ballooning and sailing. He set or broke over 100 records in
five different sports, many of which are still held. Many of his most
extraordinary adventures were as a pilot. He once said that he did not like
risks. This might sound strange considering his activities. But he said what he
tried to do was to reduce risk with careful planning, technological development
and the help of the best scientists and other experts. In 2007, during a
short-distance flight, his plane disappeared and he died at the age of 63.
In 1903
Benjamin Spock was born in America. After he attended Yale University he joined
a sports team that competed in rolling boats, which in 1924 won the gold medal
at the Olympic Games in Paris. He used to work at a camp for disabled children
for three summers during his years at Yale. And the experience probably led to
his decision to enter Yale Medical School, and finally completed his medical
degree at Columbia in New York. From 1933 he worked as a baby doctor, trying to
fit the theories (理论)about how children develop with what mothers
told him about their children. During the 1950s, Dr Spock became famous. He
wrote articles for magazines, appeared on TV programs, taught at universities
and gave speeches to talk to parents about their concerns (担心).Benjamin
died in 1998 at 94. Yet his advice continues to affect the lives of millions of
children and their parents.
An
80-year-old Japanese mountain climber who has had four heart surgeries (手术)
reached the top of Mount on Thursday, becoming the oldest to climb up the
world's highest mountain on May 23, 2013. It was Yuichiro Miura. As a famous
adventurer, he skied down Everest from the South Col in 1970, a deed that
became the subject of a documentary. He has since skied down the highest mountains
on each of the seven continents, following the tradition of his late father,
who skied down Europe's Mont Blanc at 99. "If you wish strongly, have
courage and endurance, then you can get to the summit (顶峰)of
your dream, Miura said.

7选5 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Every year, wildfires destroy millions of forest land. ______1________Smokejumpers help to stop this.
______2_____Smokejumpers are a special type of firefighter. They jump from planes or are lowered by helicopters(直升机) into areas that are difficult to reach by car or on foot, such as the middle of a mountain forest. They race to put out fires as fast as they can.
At a fire site, smokejumpers first examine the land and decide how to fight the fire. Their main goal is to stop a fire from spreading or to slow its progress until full, ground-based firefighters arrive. Using basic equipment such as shovels(铲子) and axes(斧头), smokejumpers clear land of burnable(可燃的) material, like dry grass and dead trees. ______3______
Although the majority(大多数) of smokejumpers are men, more women are joining now. The most important factors are your height and weight. _______4_________For example, must be between 120 and 200 pounds (between 54 and 91 kilograms) so they don't get blown away by the strong winds or get hurt when they land.
Smokejumpers must also be able to survive in the wild. In Russia, many smokejumpers know how to find food in the forest and can even make simple furniture from trees. ________5________But for these firefighters, smokejumping isn't just a job. They love being able to jump out of planes, fight fires, and live in the forest. As 28-year-old Russian smokejumper Alexi Tishin says, "This is the best job for tough guys."
What is a smokejumper
How do smokejumpers do it
More important are their height and weight.
It means the work is dangerous and takes a long time.
Homes are damaged, and thousands of people die.
They carry water with them, too, but only a limited amount.
Hot weather and fast-moving winds often make these fires more dangerous.
