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.

“Eat your breakfast. It’s the most important meal of the day!” Why are parents always saying that?
Well, a person is like a car. After a long night of sleeping, there is no fuel in your fuel tank(燃料箱). Breakfast is like the fuel. It makes you work or walk on the road.
What should you eat? Any breakfast is better than no breakfast, but try not to have hamburgers or dessert(甜點) all the time. They don’t have the necessary nutrients(必需的營養(yǎng)素). And if you have a hamburger for breakfast, you won’t feel full for long.
Try to eat all kinds of foods like grains, fruit, vegetables and drink some milk. Oh, try to eat more apples because an apple a day can help to keep the doctor away.

More than 30,000 drivers and front seat passengers are killed or seriously injured each year. At the speed of only 30 miles per hour, it is the same as falling from a third-floor window. Wearing a seat belt（安全帶） saves lives; it reduces your chance of death or serious injury by more than half in traffic accidents.
So drivers or front seat passengers over 14 years old in most vehicles(車輛) must wear a seat belt. If you do not, you could be fined(罰金) up to ￡50. It will not be up to the drivers to make sure you wear your belt. But it will be the driver’s duty to make sure that children under 14 do not ride in the front unless they are wearing a seat belt of some kind.
However, you do not have to wear a seat belt if you are reversing your vehicle（倒車）; or if you are a postman using a special vehicle; or if you have a valid medical certificate which allows you not to wear it. Make sure about all the above before you decide not to wear your seat belt. Remember you may be taken to the police station for not doing so.【小題1】This text is most probably taken from ________.
| A．a medical magazine | B．a police report |
| C．a diary | D．a story book |
【小題2】 Wearing a seat belt in a vehicle ________.| A．reduces road accidents by more than half |
| B．saves lives while driving at a speed up to 30 miles per hour |
