35、e. At age 18, he ran his first marathon.The following year, he met John Ridgway, who became famous in the 1960s for rowing an open boat across the Atlantic Ocean. Saunders was hired as an instructor at Ridgway s school of Adventure in Scotland, where he learned about the older man s cold-water explo
36、its （成就）.Intrigued, Saunders read all he could about Arctic explorers and North Pole expeditions, then decided that this would be his future.Journeys to the Pole aren, t the usual holidays for British country boys, and many people dismissed his dream as fantasy.

37、idn t say, You are completely crazy, Saunders says.In 2001, after becoming a skilled skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition toward the North Pole.

38、ngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he s skied moreof the Arctic by himself than any other Briton.

42、 set a record in the North Pole expeditionC. was supported by other Arctic explorersD. made him well-known in the 1960sDEdmund Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200 years ago. He studied the observations of comets （彗星）which other scientists had made. The orbit of one particular comet wa
43、s a very difficult mathematical problem. He could not figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.However, Halley had a friend named Newton, who was a brilliant （有才华的）mathematician. Newton thought he had already worked out that problem, but he could not find the papers
44、 on which he had done it. He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse （椭圆）.Now Halley set to work. He figured out the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by scientists. He made a surprising discovery. The comets that had appeared in the years 1531, 1607, and
