London, May 5, 2003  Emma Richards of Britain has become the first woman and the youngest person to finish the Around Alone, which is a round-the-world sailing race. The journey started in New York last September and went east around South Africa to New Zealand. It crossed the Pacific Ocean and went around South America, ending up yesterday in Rhode Island, the smallest state in America. In the end, the trip covered over 46,000 kilometres. The same sea route was taken in the past by many famous travelers who wanted to learn about the world.
Emma, a 1996 graduate (畢業(yè)生) of the University of Glasgow, finished the race at the age of twenty-eight. The race requires competitors to sail alone. Emma said that actually it was very difficult to be all by herself for such a long time even though she’s really into sailing. Her worst moment was when she had to climb the high mast (船桅) in a bad storm to fix some broken parts. She sailed hundreds of kilometres away from land and the wind was blowing very hard. Only her strong willpower kept her going to make it all the way. These days, Emma is happy to be home with her parents and sleep in a bed that stays still.
小題1:The first paragraph is mostly about       .
A．the Around Alone raceB．a(chǎn) terrible wind storm
C．the start of the journeyD．the smallest state in America
小題2:Which one is NOT true?
A．Emma sailed alone around the world.
B．Emma made a new route for the sea travel.

C．the University of GlasgowD．Emma’s sailing experience
小題4:How long did the trip take?
A．About four months.B．About six months.
