THE REWARD FOR PERSEVERANCE
We watched as Shackleton and the boat sailed away from Elephant Island.It was easy to imagine the danger ahead of them.Would they ever return to find us？ What might happen to them？ What if they were delayed？ We felt so alone and desperate.But it was not for long.There was nothing like a good dinner and some music to cheer us up.
Life fell into a regular pattern.Staying alive took all our time and energy.For example， we needed water， and Elephant Island had none.We found that we could melt ice from the ocean and drink the water from it.But how could we make fire？ There were no trees growing on Antarctica and no oil， so the only fuel we could use was animal fat.[1]This gave off oily， black smoke， but it stayed burning even in strong winds.
[1]本句是一个由连词but连接的并列句。
Food was also a problem， as we did not find any vegetables or fruit on the island.One of our group members， Lionel Greenstreet， noted in his diary about how bored he was with the meals：“The food now is pretty well all meat of sea creatures.” If it weren’t for sea animals， we would all starve.[2]As a chef， it was my duty to cook， so I tried to vary the meals in whatever way I could.But it was difficult.
[2]本句是一个由连词so连接的并列句；在第二个分句中，含有一个whatever引导的宾语从句。
We had to be careful not to go outside too often， as the changing temperatures could make us ill.It was almost as dangerous to become too hot from wearing too many clothes as to become too cold from wearing too few.The sweat could freeze very quickly.Many of us also became ill from the black smoke of the animal fat we burnt for our fires.It damaged our eyes and burnt our lungs.
The twenty-two of us lived like this in the cold for four months.Our discipline and team spirit kept us optimistic and helped us deal with our fears in a positive and successful way.We also celebrated our birthdays， festivals， and even the times when we caught a sea animal.This was an episode in my life that I would never forget.
[3]When we were finally rescued， we felt such relief and joy that many of us could not hide our tears.We were at last free to go home to warm beds， good food， and the care of our family and friends.Our optimism and faith in Shackleton had helped us persevere in staying alive.And he paid us back by his commitment to save us from a slow but painful death.

学结构
本文是一篇回忆录。文章以“坚忍”号大厨的口吻生动地描绘了象岛上船员们的生活——这里饮用水短缺、生火困难、食物单一、天寒地冻；由于燃烧动物脂肪产生黑烟，很多船员的眼睛和肺都被熏坏了。然而，就是在这样恶劣的自然环境下， 22名船员的生活井然有序，他们尽力保持着积极乐观的生活态度，凭借对沙克尔顿的信任还有团队精神，坚守了四个月，最终等到救援到来的那一天。
锲而不舍的回报 我们看着沙克尔顿和小船驶离象岛。不难想象他们要面临的危险。他们会回来找到我们吗？他们会发生什么事呢？如果他们被耽搁了，那怎么办？我们感到如此的孤独和绝望。不过，这种情绪并没有持续很久。没有什么比得上一顿好饭和一点儿音乐能让我们振作起来了。 生活陷入了一个固定的模式。求生耗费了我们所有的时间和精力。例如，我们需要水，而象岛没有。我们发现可以把海上的冰融化成水，然后饮用。可是我们怎么生火呢？南极没有树木，也没有石油，我们可以使用的唯一燃料就是动物脂肪。这种燃料会产生油腻的黑烟，但它在强风中仍能保持燃烧。 食物也是个问题，因为在岛上我们找不到任何蔬菜或水果。我们的一位团队成员，莱昂内尔·格林斯特里特，在日记中写下了他对三餐的厌烦程度：“现在的食物几乎全是海洋生物。”要不是有海洋生物，我们都得挨饿。作为一名厨师，我的职责是烹饪食物，于是我想方设法变换三餐的花样。但是，这实在太难了。 我们十分小心，避免过于频繁地外出，因为气温变化会使人生病。衣服穿得太多造成过热与衣服穿得太少造成过冷几乎是一样危险的。汗水会迅速结冰。我们燃烧动物脂肪取火，冒出的黑烟使我们很多人都得病了。这种黑烟损害我们的眼睛，而且伤害我们的肺部。 我们22个人就这样在冰天雪地里度过了四个月。纪律和团队精神使我们保持乐观，帮助我们积极、成功地应对恐惧感。生日、节日甚至捕获海洋动物之时，我们都会庆祝一番。这是我生命中永远不会忘却的一段经历。 最终获救时，我们如释重负、喜不自禁，我们许多人都难掩泪水。我们终于可以回家了，回归温暖的被窝、（享受）可口的食物以及家人朋友的关爱。我们的乐观和对沙克尔顿的信任让我们顽强地活了下来，而他则用他的承诺回报了我们——把我们从缓慢而痛苦的死亡线上拯救回来。

生活陷入了一个固定的模式。求生耗费了我们所有的时间和精力。例如，我们需要水，而象岛没有。我们发现可以把海上的冰融化成水，然后饮用。可是我们怎么生火呢？南极没有树木，也没有石油，我们可以使用的唯一燃料就是动物脂肪。这种燃料会产生油腻的黑烟，但它在强风中仍能保持燃烧。
食物也是个问题，因为在岛上我们找不到任何蔬菜或水果。我们的一位团队成员，莱昂内尔·格林斯特里特，在日记中写下了他对三餐的厌烦程度：“现在的食物几乎全是海洋生物。”要不是有海洋生物，我们都得挨饿。作为一名厨师，我的职责是烹饪食物，于是我想方设法变换三餐的花样。但是，这实在太难了。
我们十分小心，避免过于频繁地外出，因为气温变化会使人生病。衣服穿得太多造成过热与衣服穿得太少造成过冷几乎是一样危险的。汗水会迅速结冰。我们燃烧动物脂肪取火，冒出的黑烟使我们很多人都得病了。这种黑烟损害我们的眼睛，而且伤害我们的肺部。
我们22个人就这样在冰天雪地里度过了四个月。纪律和团队精神使我们保持乐观，帮助我们积极、成功地应对恐惧感。生日、节日甚至捕获海洋动物之时，我们都会庆祝一番。这是我生命中永远不会忘却的一段经历。
最终获救时，我们如释重负、喜不自禁，我们许多人都难掩泪水。我们终于可以回家了，回归温暖的被窝、（享受）可口的食物以及家人朋友的关爱。我们的乐观和对沙克尔顿的信任让我们顽强地活了下来，而他则用他的承诺回报了我们——把我们从缓慢而痛苦的死亡线上拯救回来。

Helen Thayer， one of the greatest explorers of the 20th century， loves challenges. She says， “I like to see what’s on the other side of the hill.” She has gone almost everywhere to do that.
In 1988， at the age of 50， she became the first woman to travel alone to the North Pole. She pulled her own sled piled with 160 pounds of supplies， and during her trip no one brought her fresh supplies. Accompanied only by her dog Charlie， she survived cold weather and meetings with polar bears. In fact， Charlie saved her life when one of them attacked her. Near the end of her trip， a forceful wind blew away the majority of her supplies. The last week of the trip， she survived on a handful of nuts and a little water each day.
Helen goes to challenging places not only for adventure， but also for education. Before her Arctic journey， she started a website called Adventure Classroom. On the site， she shares her adventures in order to motivate （激发） students. She explains， “Although kids often see the world in a negative way， without hope for their future， we work to inspire them to set goals， plan for success and never give up.”
Helen grew up in New Zealand. Her parents were athletes and mountain climbers. Following her parents’ example， she climbed her first mountain at 9. Later， she climbed the highest mountains in North and South America， the former USSR and New Zealand.
In 1996， she took on another challenge — the Sahara Desert. She and her husband， Bill， walked 2，400 miles across it！ In 2001， she and Bill traveled on foot from west to east through the Gobi Desert in Mongolia. They hope to travel to Sichuan and Xizang in China to study pandas this year.
Helen plans to continue taking trips. She’ll use her explorations， writing， photography and environmental work to create programs for her Adventure Classroom website. She wants to inspire her students never to stop facing challenges！

In 1880， fourteen-year-old Matthew Henson loved to hear sailors tell tales of their exciting lives at sea. The travel， the adventure， the danger， and the steady pay were all attractive to young Henson. One day he made up his mind. Baltimore was the nearest large seaport. The next morning he set out on the forty-mile journey to seek work on a sailing ship.
In Baltimore， Henson found a job as a cabin boy on a beautiful ship called the Katie Hinds. For the next five years， Henson sailed around the world. By the time he left the Katie Hinds in 1885， Henson was well educated and had become an excellent seaman.
Unable to find work anywhere else， Henson took a job in a hat shop in Washington， D.C. One day in 1887， a man came in to buy a hat. The man， Lieutenant Robert Peary， asked the owner if he knew anyone with experience at sea. Peary would soon travel to South America for the US government. He needed experienced men to accompany him.
The shop owner knew about his young employee’s skills and experience on ocean voyages， so he introduced Peary to Henson. Henson and Peary soon found they had a great deal in common， including their love of the sea.
Using his map-reading and sailing skills， Henson proved himself to be a worthy and intelligent seaman. One day Peary told Henson about his real dream： to be the first man to stand on “the top of the world” at the North Pole. He asked Henson to help him make his dream come true.
Over the next five years， the two explorers made two trips together to the Arctic. However， they were not able to reach the pole either time.
In 1908， Peary and Henson were ready to make their final attempt at reaching the North Pole. Both men were over forty years old. The years of hardship and suffering in the arctic cold had taken their toll on both men. This would be their last chance.
In April 1909， Henson’s instruments showed they were standing at the North Pole. Together Henson and Peary planted the American flag in the snow.
In later years， Robert Peary and Henson were greatly honored for their achievement. Today， the two friends and fellow explorers lie in heroes’ graves not far apart in the Arlington National Cemetery.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位名叫马修·亨森的人，在年轻时追求航海生涯，在一艘名为凯蒂·汉兹的船上工作五年，积累了丰富的航海经验。后来，他遇到了罗伯特·皮尔里上尉，并与他一起前往北极探险。经过多年的探险努力，他们在1909年成功到达北极点，成为英雄。
