Japanese sailor Kenichi Horie has finished a 110-day solo (单独的) voyage across the Pacific Ocean in a boat pushed by sea waves to win another world first.

Weak waves and ocean water movements made his arrival late, which was going to be in late May.

“When waves were weak, the boat slowed down. That’s a problem that needs to be solved,” the adventure told reporters from his boat in western Japan. His 9.5-meter-long boat can move like a dolphin’s tail, and it rises or falls with the waves.

Horie reached his destination in the channel between the main Japanese islands just before midnight after covering about 7,000 kilometers from Hawaii.

Horie first made world record in 1962 when, at the age of 23, he became the first person to sail alone across the Pacific. He made the three-month voyage from his hometown in spite of breaking Japanese law, which did not allow his citizens to sail on their own out of the country, and without a passport or money.

He was arrested upon arrival in San Francisco but the city mayor freed him, gave him a 30-day visa and made him an honorary citizen. News of his achievement made him a hero back home in Japan and his book of the voyage In the Pacific was made into a film. Since then, he has completed many sailing trips across the Pacific and around the world.

After his latest adventure with an environmentally friendly theme, Horie planned to return to his hometown on Sunday. He said, “Throughout history, mankind has used wind for power, but no one has appeared to be serious about wave power.” Horie told the reporter, “I think I’m a lucky boy as this wave power system has remained untouched in fact.”

1.Horie’s boat was mainly powered by ________.

A.sea waves

B.sea winds

C.his strength

D.petrol

2.From the passage we learn that ________.

A.Horie undertook the voyage with a partner this time

B.it took Horie about twenty days more to cross the Pacific this time than in 1962

C.Horie made his first voyage across the Pacific alone fifty years ago

D.Horie’s destination is 7,000 kilometers from San Francisco

3.Horie was arrested in San Francisco after his voyage in 1962 mainly because ________.

A.he had broken Japanese law

B.he had kept it a secret from others

C.his action had put people in danger

D.he had no passport to America

4.Which of the following statements best proves that Horie’s latest voyage was meaningful?

A.He was made an honorary citizen of San Francisco.

B.In Japan he was regarded as a hero.

C.His voyage had the theme of protecting the environment.

D.He wrote an exciting book after the voyage.

5. The author wrote the article mainly to ________.

A.start an ocean crossing movement

B.tell us a piece of interesting news

C.make Horie known to the world

D.encourage people to learn from Horie

Kids will often ignore your requests for them to shut off the TV, start their chores (杂事), or do their homework as a way to avoid following your directions. Before you know it, you’ve started to sound like a broken record as you repeatedly ask them to do their assignments, clean their room, or take out the trash. Rather than saying, “Do your chores now,” you’ll be more effective if you set a target time for when the chores have to be completed. So instead of arguing about starting chores, just say, “If chores aren’t done by 4 p. m., here are the consequences.” Then it’s up to your child to complete the chores. Put the ball back in their court. Don’t argue or fight with them, just say, “That’s the way it’s going to be.” It shouldn’t be punitive (惩罚性的) as much as it should be persuasive. “If your chores aren’t done by 4 p. m., then no video game time until chores are done. And if finishing those chores runs into homework time, that’s going to be your loss.” On the other hand, when dealing with homework, keep it very simple. Have a time when homework starts, and at that time, all electronics go off and do not go back on until you see that their homework is done. If your child says they have no homework, then they should use that time to study or read. Either way, there should be a time set aside when the electronics are off.

When a kid wears his iPod or headphones when you’re trying to talk to him, make no bones about it;he is not ignoring you, he is disrespecting you. At that point, everything else should stop until he takes the earplugs out of his ears. Don’t try to communicate with him when he’s wearing headphones—even if he tells you he can hear you. Wearing them while you’re talking to him is a sign of disrespect. Parents should be very tough about this kind of thing. Remember, mutual respect becomes more important as children mature.

1.According to the passage, it seldom happens that________.

A.kids turn a deaf ear to their parents’ requests

B.parents’ directions sound like a broken record

C.children are ready to follow their parents’ directions

D.parents are unaware of what they are repeating to their kids

2.Parents will be able to deal with their child more effectively if they ________.

A.avoid direct ways of punishment

B.make him do things at their request

C.argue and fight with their child

D.allow their child to behave in his own way

3.When the kid is doing his homework, parents________.

A.should provide him with a good learning environment

B.can do whatever they like

C.can stay aside watching TV

D.must switch off the power

4.It can be inferred from the passage that________.

A.parents should take off their headphones when trying to have a talk with their child

B.it will make no difference that a kid is wearing his earplugs while talking to his parents

C.parents shouldn’t give in to their kid when he shows no sign of respect

D.kids’ purposely talking to their parents with iPod gives them a sense of power and control

5.The main idea of the passage is________.

A.that respecting each other is more important than anything else

B.how kids behave to ignore and disrespect their parents

C.that children should make choices and decisions on their own

D.how parents can deal with their kid’s behavior effectively
