He was planning to walk to the North Pole all by himself, pulling his food, tent and other things behind him in two sledges (雪橇). Because the Arctic is covered with ice and water, he would sometimes have to sit on his sledges and use them like a boat.Jeff was seven days into his journey in the Arctic. It was dark and terribly cold ( -35 ).In face of this terribly low temperature, he had made good progress across the ice. Suddenly, the ice was broken and one of his sledges fell into the sea. Jeff needed to get it back, so he had to put his hand into the ice-covered water. Once he had got the sledge back, Jeff put up his tent, lit a fire and tried to warm up his cold hand. It was no help-his hand was seriously hurt as it had been in the cold for so long. He radioed for help, and an airplane was sent to save him. Finally, he arrived at a hospital in Canada. The doctors there said he hurt his left hand in the icy water. They saved his hand and advised him not to travel to the North Pole any more.But Jeff was an explorer and nobody could change his mind. It would be yet another long and difficult battle for Jeff soon.26 . Jeff was planning to walk to the North Pole all by himself inA1970B1972C1998D200027 .

This passage is most probably from _.Aa newspaperBa novelCa storybookDa reportAround the world, there are about 7,000 National Parks. Most of them cover huge areas of land where nobody lives. However, the National Parks in England include places where people live and work, as well as wild areas where there are few human activities.The National Parks in England are called “Englands Breathing Spaces” because they are places where people can go to be in the open air, away from the dirt and noise of cities. They provide wonderful scenes of mountains, woods, grasslands and wetlands. And there are plenty of activities to do in all of the National Parks in England. Visitors can walk or ride bikes for fun. Many of the parks put on activities for families.Every year there are about 110 million visitors to the parks, bringing many benefits(益处) to the areas. At the same time, it creates problems too. First, life can be difficult for local people. Car parks and roads are too crowded. Gift shops and cafes take the place of many everyday shops. Even house prices in some areas can become too high. Besides, country roads can be damaged, for too many people walk, cycle or ride horses on them. Roads can be rebuilt, but then they look less natural. Another big problem to the National Parks is litter. In the parks it is a danger to wild animals. Broken glass can also cause fires by focusing the rays of the sun. Such fires in wild places can be out of control.? All National Parks in England are making more rules, which tell people how to take good care of their environment. If these rules are followed, the National Parks will be well kept and continue to give pleasure to many people for a very long time.39 .
