Fat and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. “Football, tennis, cricket - anything with a round ball, I was useless,” he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the one always made fun of in school gym classes in Devonshire, England.
It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first he went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to ride the bike along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set up his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed and strength. At the age of 18, he ran his first marathon.
The following year he met John Ridgway and started to work as an instructor at Ridgway's school of adventure(冒险) in Scotland, where he learnt about Ridgway's cold-water exploits. Greatly interested, Saunders read all he could about North Pole explorers and adventures, he decided that this would be his future.
In 2001, after becoming a skillful skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition (探险)towards the North Pole. It took unbelievable energy. He suffered frostbite(冻伤), ran into a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit, pulling his sled up and over the rocky mountains.

SCENE I

One dollar a week

The doorway of the house where Chandler has a room. He is dressed in his best clothes, ready for

his evening out. He is going out as his friend, Jeff 'White, comes in.21教育名师原创作品

WHITE                        What are you doing this evening, Towers?

CHANDLER                (Smiling) Tonight I'm going to live like a man with a million dollars!

WHITE                        What are you talking about? You haven't got a million dollars!21*cnjy*com

CHANDLER                How much money are you and I paid each week, Jeff?

WHITE                        Eighteen dollars. Why?

CHANDLER                And how much of that eighteen dollars do you spend each week?21·世纪*教育网

WHITE                        All of it, of course.

CHANDLER                Well, I don't. Each week I save one dollar out of my eighteen. Then,

every ten weeks, I can buy myself an evening to remember.

WHITE                        What do you do?

CHANDLER                I put on my finest clothes, go to one of the best restaurants in New York,

eat the most expensive food on the menu, drink the best wine, and then

take a taxi home!

WHITE             (  29  ) Why?

CHANDLER        Why? Because it makes me feel wonderful to sit with some of 'the richest

people in America, and to make them think that I'm rich, too.

WHITE             You're crazy!

CHANDLER        (Laughing) Perhaps I am!

Mrs Black comes in.

MRS BLACK               Ah, Mr Chandler. I wanted to see you.

CHANDLER                Good evening, Mrs Black. What a lovely evening!

MRS BLACK               Lovely evening perhaps, but you haven't paid me for your room this

month. When am I going to get the money?

CHANDLER         Soon, Mrs Black. Very soon.

Mrs Black looks at Chandler s clothes.

MRS BLACK               You can spend money on expensive clothes, but you can't pay for your

room. Is that right?

CHANDLER         (Hurrying away) Good night, Mrs Black!21世纪教育网

 From voluntarily collecting historical materials related to the Great Wall in his Shanxi hometown in Province to becoming an official cultural heritage protector, Yuan Xuerui has spent over twenty years safeguarding the ancient wonder.

 China's Great Wall is one of the great wonders of the world and also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built from 3 BC to the 1800s on the north of the country, the Great Wall has a total length of more than 20,000 kilometers.

 Yuan, 55, was born in Qingxibao at the foot of the ancient wall in Shanxi' s Daixian county, which is part of the city of Xinzhou. His love for the ancient wall motivated(激励) him to protect it, and when not engaged (从事) in farm work, he spent most of his time walking along the wall to collect bricks that had fallen off due to the long time and prepare for repairs. "What others think as a difficult and dull task of cultural heritage protection often brings me unexpected discoveries," Yuan said.

 He officially became a cultural heritage worker in 2018, and since then his duties have expanded from collecting bricks to organizing ancient documents related to the wall to better tell stories about it. As a heritage worker, Yuan has come to understand the meaning of the Great Wall."Each brick has endured(忍受) the test of time over hundreds of years — in some cases more than a thousand— carrying rich historical memories," he said.

 This summer, Yuan organized a campaign to call for people to collect bricks for the future repair of the wall. Many bricks were taken away from the Great Wall by local villagers to build their houses in the 1960s and 1970s. "As villagers' awareness of the need to protect the wall has grown, nowadays, when locals find fallen bricks along the Great Wall, they will pick them up," he said. "If they see garbage, they will also pick it up and throw it into bins."
