You may have heard of people who are allergic(過敏)to seafood, smoke or pets. But did you know that some people were allergic to Wi-Fi signals(信號)?

Rose White, a 44-year-old woman from Britain, first found herself being allergic to Wi-Fi signals in 2015. She had a cough, heart trouble and great pains in her head when she stayed at the places covered with Wi-Fi signals.

She even tried sleeping in a shed (棚子). Being completely tired, Rose had no choice but to quit her job and moved 370 kilometers away from her home to avoid Wi-Fi signals, but failed. Because of the hard life, she got a stomach problem.

She is now living in a small house in the rural area in England. There are far fewer Wi-Fi signals.However, the house, which belongs to her friend, will be sold to others, so she, has to move again soon.

Swimming across the English Channel—the 21-mile-long channel between southern England and northern France--- is not an easy thing. Besides the strong ocean currents(洋流)，swimmers also have to face temperatures that can change from 18°C to 6°C. However, don’t tell that to Sarah Thomas. The 37-year-old American woman recently became the first person ever to swim the English Channel four times without stop.

What makes Thomas even greater is that just a year ago, in 2018, she survived （幸存）serious illness. She said that fighting the strong currents was hard. “But even worse is dealing with the saltwater … it really hurts your throat(咽喉), your mouth and your tongue,” she said.

Thomas’s journey began just past midnight on Sunday, September 15, 2019. The swim was about 80 miles at the beginning. However, strong currents add the total distance by about 50 miles. When Thomas came out from the water at 6: 30 am local time on Tuesday, September 17, 2019, she was in the water for 54 hours and 13 minutes and swam a total of 133 miles!

There was a ship with GPS and computers to record wind, tides and currents with Thomas all the time. It guided her through the water. Her mother and husband were on the ship. During her swimming, Thomas took a rest every 30 to 60 minutes.

1.Sarah Thomas comes from .

A.England B.France C.America D.Japan

2.How far did Sarah Thomas swim across the channel this year?

A.About 50 miles. B.About 54 miles. C.About 80 miles D.About 130 miles.

3.According to the passage, we can use to describe Sarah Thomas.

A.brave B.helpful C.generous D.humorous

4.Where can we probably read this passage?

A.In a science book. B.In a diary. C.In a newspaper. D.In a novel.
