Period 4 Developing ideas
课时作业(四)
1阅读
Last May,"eco-mermaid"Merle Liivand broke her own world record for swimming with a single
fin )She swam the distance of a full marathon in the rough waters of Biscayne Bay.Florida.
She even picked trash out of the water as she swam.
Liivand was born in Estonia.As a child,she had health problems,and engaged in swimming to
help her lungs get stronger.She was soon taking part in open water swimming contests,sometimes
even in icy water
Eleven years ago,Liivand moved to Miami,Florida,where she continued swimming in the ocean.
In one training session,she nearly wound up swallowing some plastic that was floating in the sea.
That experience made her think of all the sea animals that faced similar pollution every day.She
decided to make people more aware of plastic pollution,which she calls a "plastic pandemic".
Thinking about sea creatures gave Liivand the idea of swimming with a special single swimming
fin attached to both of her feet.This rubbery "monofin"allows her to swim by kicking both of her
legs together."Swimming with the monofin without using my arms is similar to how dolphins and
other marine animals swim,says Liivand.She believes that swimming with a monofin sends a
bigger message.
Liivand first set the world record for swimming with a monofin in 2019,when she swam 6.2 miles
off the coast of California.In 2020,she broke the record again by swimming 12.8 miles in Miami,
Florida.On 7 May last year,Liivand broke the record once more,this time swimming the length of
a full marathon.It took her 11 hours and 54 seconds to swim 26.2 miles.The water was rough,and

never let it affect me.
It was only at the age of ten that I started to notice the differences and became aware of my social
life and the self-image that I had carefully developed.My sister,on the other hand,was socially
awkward.She struggled with social interactions.unable to make eye contact or express herself
clearly,often whispering her words right after she said them.However,she was very good at her
studies,so we attended the same primary school.Despite this,I never publicly admitted that she
was my sister,because I couldn't bear others'strange looks.As for my childish behavior,she never
took it seriously.It was a specific event that changed how I viewed my sister,an incident (
that changed me.
In primary six,about to graduate,my sister and her classmates had to put on a performance,either
in a group or individually.Due to her difficulty interacting with others,my sister decided to go solo.
"I...I will sing the song..the song I composed by myself..myself,"my sister told my
parents,somewhat confidently.Hearing this,I was shocked.How could my sister sing in front of
the whole school alone?
I knew all too well that if I let this happen,she would embarrass me in one way or another."No!"
I banged on the table,my voice shaking.My parents shot me a look,and that was when I knew
my sister was going to take the stage,no matter what,and I would be part of the audience.This was
something I could not avoid
On the performance day,I felt neroous as her turn neared.After a series of performances,it was
finally my sister's turn to step onto the stage.When the blinding spotlights hit her,a lump formed
in my throat.She avoided direct eye contact with the audience,and spent a whole minute just
announcing her name and class,making people restless and causing a ripple of whispers to spread
across the room.Seeing her struggle up there,a wave of concern washed over me and my palms
began to sweat.I decided to do something to help her regain confidence.
I stood up,gestured and called out."Start your song,sister!You can do it!"Our eyes met and I
could see a spark of surprise light up in her eyes.Inspired by my words,she began her song with
a unique melody written by herself.Her voice,surprisingly amazing and powerful,filled the room.
The song stirred my past memories with my sister.Despite my embarrassment and unwillingness,
she had always forgiven me.The audience's thunderous applause snapped me back.Overwhelmed
