Born in 1949, Diana Nyad took an early interest in swimming as a sport and was a Florida State High School swimming champion. Like many young athletes, she had Olympic dreams, but a serious illness kept her from competing in the Games. The disappointment didn’t stop her from going forward. Instead, she became interested in marathon swimming. A brilliant athlete, she was well-conditioned for spending long periods of time in the water. As a long-distance swimmer, she would compete against herself and the obstacles presented by distance, danger, cold, and exhaustion.

For ten years Nyad devoted herself to becoming one of the world’s best long-distance swimmers. In 1970, she swam a ten-mile marathon in Lake Ontario, setting the women’s record for the course. In 1972 she set another record by swimming 102.5 miles from an island in the Bahamas to the coast of Florida. Then she broke a third record when swimming around Manhattan Island in 1975.

Nyad attempted to swim the distance between Florida and Cuba in 1978. Though the span of water is less than 100 miles wide, it is rough and dangerous. After battling the water for two days, she had to give for the sake of her own health and safety. Even so, she impressed the world with her courage and strong desire to succeed. For Nyad her strength of purpose was just as important as reading Cuba. That is how she defined success. It did not matter that her swim came up short; she believed she had touched the other shore.

When Nyad ended her career as a swimmer, she continued to try new things---travelling the world as a reporter, writing books and giving public speeches about her life. Diana Nyad works to inspire others, just as she did when she swam the waters of the world.

2.What does the underlined word “obstacles” mean? (1 word)

The young dolphin swam in the waters off Brisbane, Australia, and found his seafood dinner. Suddenly he realized that he was not the only hungry predator(捕食者)in the area. A ten-foot tiger shark aimed at the same fish. The dolphin refused to give up the meal and dashed to the shark. The shark attacked him, biting down hard into his back. 1.

Later, on the sandy beach nearby, staff at the Tangalooma Resort were shocked to see the severely wounded male. He was a regular visitor, a playful 12-year-old dolphin called Nari. “We’ve known him all his life, since he was a baby,” says resort director Trevor Hassard. 2.The wound measure about a foot long and more than an inch deep. He took photos of Nari and sent them to vets at Sea World, a local marine mammal park. They agreed that Nari needed emergency care.

The next day, Sea World staff traveled to the beach to catch Nari.3.Nor did he appear the next evening. Everyone was depressed and worried about him.

4.“I had started thinking the worst,” Hassard says. “Words can’t describe how excited we were.” Six rescuers surrounded Nari and carried him to Sea World. The vets performed an operation to remove the dead flesh from around the bite. Nari was then moved to a special pool where his wound was cleaned and treated regularly.

5.Sea World decided to tansort Nair back to his home beach. Hassard had worried that the other dolphins might reject Nari after such a long absence. That concern disappeared when Nari’s friend Echo instantly recognized him and moved close to his side.

A. But Nari didn’t show up

B. Three days later, Nari finally turned up.

C. He felt quite worried when he took a close look at Nari’s injury

D. After seven weeks, Nari was fully recovered but growing restless.

E. Shark researchers are trying to warn people to escape without being eaten

F. The five-meter-long dolphin simply swam away, disappearing into the water below.

G. Luckily, the wounded dolphin managed to escape from the shark’s biting with violent struggle.

3.A.Set up a meeting.
B.Make a shop list.
C.Think in silence.
D.Write to your parents.
E.Answer useful e-mails.
F.Do things as planned.

In these early days of 2013,it's more important than ever to emphasize just how much of a difference the next 15minutes can make in your day.Then,you perhaps make your new year a perfect future.
61.D
Write a letter or e-mail of gratitude to your parents.At first,this might sound a little strange,particularly if you don't have the best relationship with your parents,but write a letter or e-mail simply thanking your parents for having you.Even if you've lost them,even if you don't know them,even if they weren't great parents,you can still write this letter.None of us would be here if our parents had not given birth to us,and that's a unique bond that should not be ignored.You don't even have to send it if you don't want to,and the process will be great.
62.F
Make a list of five immediate actions that need to be done in order for progress to be made on the big project(s) on which you are currently working.They don't have to be big target what you know to be absolute"musts"and take massive action on them without hesitation or fear.
63.E
Answer that e-mail you need to get to.You know which one I'm talking about:that e-mail that you know is crying out for a response.Maybe it's work-related,maybe it's personal; it doesn't matter.Respond immediately and clear it from your mind-your focus is needed elsewhere.
64.A
Schedule a meeting that will move you forward.I'm talking about getting together with someone who has information that will be beneficial to you.This doesn't have to be formal; in fact,it doesn't even have to be related to your study at all.It can be dinner with a friend from whom you want some advice,for example.Just get that person on the phone,and then get that meeting on the calendar.
65.C
Do absolutely nothing for 15minutes straight.Yes,choosing to do nothing is,in fact,doing something.Spend 15minutes in silence,giving your mind and spirit and chance to refresh and regroup.I promise that when the 15minutes are up you will be able to return to whatever you're working on with a new perspective.
