36、he loved it so much that she saved her money for three years to buy her first small sailing boat. when she was 18, she sailed alone around britain and won the “young sailor of the year” award.but ellen really became famous in 2001. aged only 24, she was one of only two women who entered the vendee g

37、lobe round the world solo race, which lasted 100 days. in spite of many problems, she came second in the race out of 24 competitors and she was given a very warm welcome when she returned.ambition and determination have always been a big part of ellens personality. when she was younger, she lived in

38、 a kind of hut(棚屋)for three years while she was trying to get sponsorship to compete in a transatlantic race. then she took a one-way ticket to france, bought a tiny seven meter class mini yacht, slept under it while she was repairing it, and then she raced it 4,000 kilometers across the atlantic in

39、 1997, alone for 33 days.ellen has had to learn many things, because sailing single-handed means that she has to be her own captain, electrician, sail maker, engineer, doctor, journalist, cameraman and cook. she also has to be very fit, and because of the dangers of sleeping for long periods of time

40、 when shes in the middle of the ocean. she has trained herself to sleep for about 20 minutes at a time. and she needs courage. once, in the middle of the ocean, she had to climb the mast(桅杆)of a boat to repair the sails at four oclock in the morning with 100 kph winds blowing around her. it took her

41、 many hours to make the repairs. ellen says, “i was worn out when i came down. its hard to describe how it feels to be up there. its like trying to hold onto a big pole, which for me is just too big to get my arms around, with someone kicking you all the time and trying to shake you off.” but in her

42、 diary, ellen also describes moments which make it all worthwhile: “a beautiful sunrise started the day with black clouds slowly lit by the bright yellow sun. i have a very strong feeling of pleasure, being out here on the ocean and having the chance to live this. i just feel lucky to be here.”60. i

45、rous.c. it is surprising.d. it is enjoyable. cchildrens lives have changed greatly over the last 50 years. but do they have a happier childhood than you or i did?its difficult to look back on ones own childhood without some element of nostalgia(怀旧的). i have four brothers and sisters, and my memories

46、 are all about being with them, playing board games on the living room floor, or spending days in the street with the other neighborhood children, racing up and down on our bikes, or exploring the nearby woods. my parents scarcely appear in these memories, except as providers either of meals or of s

47、evere blame after some particularly risky adventure. these days, in the uk at least, the nature of childhood has changed dramatically. firstly, families are smaller, and there are far more only children. it is common for both parents to work outside the home and there is the feeling that there just

48、isnt time to bring up a large family, or that no one could possibly afford to have more than one child. as a result, todays boys and girls spend much of their time alone. another major change is that youngsters today tend to spend a huge amount of their free time at home, inside. more than anything

49、this is due to the fact that parents worry far more than they used to about real or imagined dangers, so they wouldnt dream of letting their children play outside by themselves. finally, the kind of toys children have and the way they play is totally different. computer and video games have replaced

50、 the board games and more interesting activities of my childhood. the irony(令人啼笑皆非的事情) is that so many ways of playing games are called “interactive”. the fact that you can play electronic games on your own further increases the sense of loneliness felt by many young people today. do these changes m

55、, but increasing womens contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social project. and economics, with its emphasis on incentives (激励), provides an explanation for why so many girls lose the chance of an education. parents in low-income countries dont send their daughters to school because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody elses family and bear children. gi
