    Last year, we took a trip to New York City. When we arrived at our 1, it was around 2 a. m. My son, Joseph, looked out at the lights of Times Square and said he wanted to go 2. I told him it was too 3 to go out, but he kept looking out of the window and said, "Just for two minutes."

    My wife and I just looked at each other, smiled and said, "Two minutes." We got dressed and walked into the center of Times Square. 4 we got there, my son pointed at the lights and said, "Dad, 5!" And then he started to fall asleep. So we had go back to the hotel.

It is not always easy to discover yourself. From a young age, I had a strong sense of who I would become—but an 1 changed everything.

To me, skating was more important than anything else in the world. Nothing else filled my heart with so much joy. I spent twenty-four hours a week developing my skills. I had no 2 life or interests other than skating. But I was rewarded with first place medals in nearly every competition.

Unluckily, during one competition, I fell and was badly injured. The doctor told me that I couldn't skate anymore. The pain in my back was hard to bear and even basic daily tasks became 3 .

My passion (激情) had been taken away. I lost 4 and had no idea what I would become. After eight months of suffering, something had to change. Instead of sitting around and 5 my days, I began to work with local community service projects. By volunteering as a swimming teacher and summer reading assistant for kids, I got an idea of who I wanted to become. After a few months, I found a new interest. Little by little, I stepped out of the shadow and rebuilt my confidence.

Sometimes, challenges in life will get in our way. We can 6 to stay behind or try to get past these challenges. My accident was a challenge that failed to stop me from reaching success. Today, I'm a very confident and optimistic person.

Tom Avery is one of the only 41 people ever to have reached both the South and North Poles. He was born in December 1975 and brought up in England, Brazil and France. His passion(强烈爱好) for adventure began when he was just seven years old and first read about the expeditions(探险) of famous explorers.Perhaps this was the start of his plan to put together the ultimate(终极的) joumey —— to the very top of the world, the North Pole, following the route taken by Robert Peary in his 1909 adventure.

Both Peary and Avery set off from Cape Columbia in Canada. Peary had a larger team and in fact had four support groups. Every 160 kilometers, a group would leave plenty of food and then turn back. The team therefore got smaller the further north they travelled. While Avery didn't have as many on his team, they did have food dropped by plane for them at four locations.

Avery's team also had the obvious benefit of modern technology, but Avery doesn't believe this made a big difference. He credits (把……归功于) his team's success to the 16 Inuit dogs that pull the sledges(雪橇)."It wouldn't have been possible without them,"he said."Your speed depends on the dogs and how quickly you can get a sledge through the ice."His team were travelling at the end of winter and this meant that the ice was thinner and could easily break under a person's weight. This was an added danger.

Another difference between both men's journeys was that Peary was far more experienced than Avery and had already been on several trips to the Arctic.

Peary claimed(声称) to have reached the North Pole in 39 days, but some historians argue that this was not possible. Avery's team actually beat this time and became the fastest to get there on foot. Avery says,"We told everyone we could do it and that we wouldn't fail. But it certainly wasn't easy."
