根据短文内容,选择正确答案。

    Erden Eruc has been rowing across the Pacific Ocean in a rowboat since he left California on July 10, 2007. He has been heading for Australia with only birds, fish, and sharks ever since.

    Crossing the Pacific is only part of his journey. Eruc has decided to go all the way around the world using his own energy. He will row, bike, walk and climb the world without help from any motors(发动机) at all. His plan includes climbing the tallest peak on six of the continents(洲) along the way.

    For the first part of his trip, he bicycled 5,546 miles from Seattle, Washington to Mount McKinley in Alaska and back, walked 67 miles to base camp and climbed 20,320 feet to McKinley's peak. Now in the second part of his adventure(冒险活动), he is rowing to Australia.

    Why would he try to go around the world this way? He explains that he wants to encourage kids to dream their dreams and get to their own goals. He wants to show kids that there might be hard parts along the way, and sometimes they might not even get to that final goal. But they can have adventures and learn a lot along the way.

    When his trip around the world takes him across land, he enjoys meeting people—especially children. He has already visited many schools and shared his story. Eruc encourages all kids to set their eyes on a goal and not give up. He says, "with goals, we will make progress, and we will be farther along than when we started, even if we don't get to some goals. That's called life!"

(1)、We can learn from the passage that Eruc ________________ during his adventure.
A、took a train B、rowed his boat C、traveled by air D、traveled by bus

根据短文理解,选择正确答案。

    My father was 44 and knew he wasn't going to make it to 45. He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.

    Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my heart. One part always stands out. "Right now, you are pretending to be a time killer. But I know that one day, you will do something great that will set you among the very best." Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself. "You will do something great." He didn't know what would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when I've felt proud of myself , I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask, "Is this what you were talking about , Dad ? Should I keep going ?"

A long way from 12 now, I realize he would have been proud when I made any progress. Lately, though, I've come to believe he would want me to move on to what comes next: to be proud of , and believe in , somebody else. It's time to start writing my own letters to my children . Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had. Our kids don't hold back because they're afraid to fail. They're only afraid of failing us. They don't worry about being disappointed. Their fear —as mine was until my father's letter —is of being a disappointment .

    Give your children permission to succeed. They're waiting for you to believe in them. I always knew my parents loved me. But trust me:That belief will be more complete , that love will be more real, and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts:"Don't worry; you'll do something great ." Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.

Can you show me who your idol (偶像) is? An idol is someone who we respect (尊重) and love. As for me, my idol is neither a world leader nor an important person in 1 . My idol is my dad. 

Most people believe that a man should go out 2 work. When I was only five, I was 3 ill and needed care all the time. My mother and father both worked and my grandparents lived far away. This was a 4 problem. My dad knew how much my mum loved her job, so he stopped working and stayed at home to 5 me. Many men in this 6 would want their wives to care for the child. But my dad always thinks about others before 7 . This made me full of respect. 

My dad later took a 8 and worked at night. He chose the job so that he would only leave home when I was sleeping. Since then, my dad has 9 and supported me in every- thing I do. I remember when I learned to ride a bike. My dad ran behind me and held the back of the bicycle so that I wouldn't fall. I felt so safe 10 I knew he was near. I didn't even 11 him stop holding me. Soon, I was able to ride by myself. 

My family isn't 12 , and we don't own a big house or an expensive car. But my dad has showed me that 13 is more important than money. Although he now works hard every day and is often very 14 , he always finds time to stay with me. He helps me with my homework, and plays games with me. He has also taught me that I can 15 my dream if I really work hard on it. 

My dad is my idol because he shows me the most important things in life.
