The 38-year-old started her journey in Chicago on May 26 and ended it in Chicago on September 11,riding 18,125 miles over the course of 108 days,12 hours and 12 minutes.Her record has yet to be certified by Guinness World Records,but it would beat by more than two weeks the previous record of 124 days and 11 hours set by Scottish cyclist Jenny Graham in 2018. Wilcox’s first leg of the trip was a week riding from Chicago to New York City.Then she flew to Portugal,spending a month riding east through Europe.Next it was a flight to Australia.Then she spent a week biking through New Zealand,and afterward it was back to North America.She landed in Alaska and rode from Anchorage through western Canada and down the US West Coast,before heading east through the Southwest and back to Chicago.Riding 18,125 miles over 3 months means averaging over 166 miles a day.Sometimes she rode more than 200.And the world is not flat.Wilcox climbed a total of 629,880 vertical (垂直的) feet on her bike—equal to climbing the height of Mount Qomolangma more than 21 times. Wilcox is no stranger to long bike rides.She has been doing extreme long-distance racing since 2015,when she set the women’s record in the Tour Divide race.This time,she knew it was going to be a “pretty tiring effort”,but she could still meet people gathering along her way,offering drinks and treats. “I’d be through a distant area like British Columbia where,you know,there’s nobody out there.I saw,like,eight bears.And then I got closer to a town,and all of a sudden people started showing up,you know—a family with two kids and another guy that brought me cookies and a nurse coming out from a clinic just to say hello.I was so grateful to have such a life experience.” Wilcox was busy—on her bike ride.“There’s nothing else I’d rather do.I am thankful for whatever happened on the way,which is fascinating and makes my trip wonderful.” 4.What do we know about Lael Wilcox?

One day,Tom’s science teacher,Mrs Peterson,happened to see the whole thing.She was confused as to why Tom was doing that as the school already had a cleaner who cleaned the playground in the evenings. She decided to find out what was going on.“Hello,Tom,what are you doing here on your own at this hour?” she greeted him with a big smile on her face. “Hello,Mrs Peterson,” Tom replied.“I’m cleaning the playground because it’s dirty.The other kids litter everywhere,but they never clean it.” “Oh,how awful!”Mrs Peterson exclaimed (喊道).“I’ll make sure they don’t do that again,Tom,” she added gently.“You are not supposed to clean up after them.It’s late,so you should go home.” “I can’t go home until I finish cleaning,Mrs Peterson,” Tom said.“Your parents raised you very well,” she said,praising him. 注意: 1.续写词数应为 150左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 “But I have a better idea of how we can help the cleaner!” Mrs Peterson added.             Soon,with the headmaster’s support,the clean-up event

afternoon,everyone.Today,I’d like to share a story of a man of perseverance.  Thomas Edison,the great inventor,faced numerous failures before his groundbreaking success.He made countless attempts to invent the electric light bulb,experiencing over a thousand failures.However,instead of giving up,he famously said,“I have not failed.I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”His tenacity and refusal to accept defeat ultimately led him to success,forever changing the world. This story teaches me a valuable lesson about perseverance.It reminds me that failure is not a reason to quit but an opportunity to learn and grow.It is through persistence that we can overcome obstacles and achieve our goals. Thanks for your listening.  Ⅶ.“But I have a better idea of how we can help the cleaner!”Mrs Peterson added.“Really?How?” Tom’s face brightened up,and his lips curved into a smile.Mrs Peterson gave him a nod and said,“Tom,I am thinking of organizing a clean-up drive where we teach students about environmental cleanliness.The kids should understand littering is a bad thing.That way,we’d be doing our part while indirectly helping the cleaner.” “Wow!That’s a wonderful idea,Mrs Peterson!” Tom said happily.“Thank you!”Mrs Peterson shook her head.“No,thank you,Tom!You’re wonderful...”  Soon,with the headmaster’s support,the clean-up event was organized.Students were taught not to litter in public places,and teachers were urged to keep an eye on the kids so they didn’t litter around the school.The school also thanked Tom for inspiring the activity.Tom was so happy to know the cleaner wouldn’t have to work such long hours since the kids threw their waste in trash cans and he could spend more time with his family!Sometimes young minds end up teaching valuable lessons to the older lot.  知识积累卡 一、1.记录,记载　2.宣布;宣称;夺去(生命)　3.学习;学会　有才华的;博学的 二、1.创造(纪录)　布置;安排;摆放　2.(旅程或赛程的)一段;一程　腿　3.(朝……)出发;动身　头;头脑 三、1.去世　2.充分利用　3.带有;伴随……发生　4.提出 四、我很感激在旅途中发生的任何事,这很迷人而且使我的旅游很奇妙。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
