A
There's another universe not far from land.It lacks buildings, trees, cars,cell phones and the Internet.Seemingly limitless water extends uninterruptedly in all directions.Civilization goes away, along with any sign of humanity.And it is why I'm really into sailing.I grew up around boats.My father liked sailing and built them.My older sister and I were stuffed into a car nearly every summer weekend until my late teens to make the trip from northeast Indiana to the south shore of Lake Erie in Ohio, where Talisman built by my father waited patiently through the week.
As a kid, I read the adventures of Robin Lee Graham, a traveller exploring the sea alone, in the pages of National Geographic and, later, in Graham's book, Dove.However, it wasn't until about 20 years ago, well into my adulthood, that I took up sailing in a serious way.I've made voyages in fair and stormy weather, on my own boats and those of my friends, and ranging from nearshore day sails to blue-water passages.
Still, I've made plenty of mistakes.While living in Asia, a sailing friend and I set off across the South China Sea and intended to get to Thailand, only to be pushed by a late-season typhoon that forced us to make landfall in Vietnam, glad to be alive.
Years later, my wife and I lived aboard our 37-foot ship, Symbiosis, while we saved enough to take a two-year leave from our jobs to journey down the U.S.Atlantic coast and through the Bahamas and the Caribbean.We visited many places that never see ships or airplanes and that are nearly impossible to reach anyway other than at the helm (舵柄) of a small boat.But boats are expensive and time-consuming.After returning from the Caribbean a few years ago, we decided to sell Symbiosis, resolving instead to sail only “other people's boats”.It didn't last, though.A few months ago, we found a good deal on a smaller sailboat—easier to maintain but still capable of some short offshore journeys.I think we'll name her Talisman.

“Is this making us old or keeping us young?” my husband asked as he lifted the three heavy backpacks from the canoe.
“I don't know,” I replied.The heat and mosquitoes were getting to me, and I was wondering whether we were crazy to have started a canoe trip during the hottest week of the summer.But even in fall, our canoe trips—while certainly cooler—are no easier.
I've always loved getting away from civilization to enjoy the peace of nature, to be on a news blackout (封锁) and to reflect on the past year and the year to come, which is why we've been doing this regularly for most of the 38 years we've been together.
Now as we're getting older, it's getting harder—aching knees, aching feet and aching backs.So, we're changing our habits.Instead of extreme white-water trips in the far north, we're going on lake trips closer by.Instead of pulling on the heavy pack myself and rising from a sitting position, my husband lifts it up while I thread my arms through the belts.Along the way, I might stop to admire the green plants beside the path or feel the soft surfaces of the moss, and my husband is usually waiting at the other end, wondering why it's taken me so long.During the night, we no longer stay up late to see the stars.Instead, we now get into the tent by 9 p.m.—exhausted after one day's hard work—and drift into sleep listening to birds' sorrowful call.
Over the years, my canoe-tripping experience has evolved to focus less on the physical and more on the abstract things.Like a solar battery, I store up the energy I absorb from the forest, rocks and waters to help me through the rest of the year.The rhythm of paddling becomes a process of deep thinking rather than an endurance test.
“How long can we continue doing this?” asked my husband at the end of the last trip.
“I don't know,” I answered, but inside, I thought, “As long as our bodies and minds hold out, I hope forever.”
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲的是作者喜欢和丈夫一起进行独木舟旅行,感受大自然的宁静之美。随着年龄的增长,作者改变了旅行的习惯,较少关注物质,而更多关注感受。

标题归纳题。通读全文可知,这篇文章讲述了作者和丈夫喜欢独木舟旅行,C项偏离了这一主题;A项意为“一次难忘的旅行”,而文章并非介绍某一次特定的旅行,故不正确;B项没有突出独木舟之旅,故概括不全面。文章倒数第二段以及最后一段都表达了作者对独木舟旅行的热爱,因此最好的题目是D选项“Love for Canoe Trips (对独木舟旅行的热爱)”。故选D。
