　　Alaska is known for its cold and snowy weather. For many years dog sleds(雪橇) were the only means of transportation during the long winter. Today some Alaskans combine fun and hard work in a yearly dog sled race. The Iditarod Trail Race is the longest dog sled race in the world. It lasts from two to three weeks and covers almost seventeen hundred kilometers.

　　The race goes across Alaska from Anchorage to Nome. It follows trails that were once used by people who looked for gold in Alaska's wildness. The race also follows the route of several brave Alaskans who brought medicine from Anchorage to Nome in the winter of 1925. They carried the badly needed medicine through bad storms and helped save many lives.

　　The race, which is held in March, is very hard for the dog sled drivers. Each day, the dogs run for about four hours and then rest for four hours. Often, they have to travel as much as 110 kilometers a day. The drivers must feed and take care of the dogs during the rest periods. Sometimes they only sleep for about two hours each day. Because the race is so hard, many drivers don't expect to win. For most of them, just being able to finish is a victory.

[　　]

A．people looked for gold in Alaska's wildness

　　A senior executive of the world's largest mobile phone maker Nokia is appealing(申诉) a record $103, 600 fine for speeding because his income has dropped, Finnish media and officials said. Millionaire Anssi Vanjoke was caught racing his motorbike down a Helsinki street at 47 mph in a 31 mph zone, and unlike in marry other countries, Finnish traffic fines change according to the offender's(违反者) average income.
