閱讀理解

　　A 15-year-old girl has walked across an Arctic(北極的)island quicker than her father －one of Britain’s top explorers．Her name is Alicia Hempleman-Adams．

　　Alicia took 10 days to walk and ski 240 kilometers across Baffin Island in northeastern Canada．Her success has made her the youngest person to complete the crossing on foot and skis．However, this isn’t her first world record．At 8, she was brought to meet her father at the end of his 600-mile journey to the North Pole and became the youngest person ever to reach the place．

　　As an explorer, Mr．Hempleman-Adams knew well how hard it was for his daughter to gain such a success．

　　He said, “Because I’ve done the route．I know all the dangers．I didn’t sleep for days knowing she was out there and thinking of all the things that could have gone wrong．What she’s achieved is really great．This teenager girl is only one hundred and five pounds and being that thin you feel the cold more．”

　　Mr．Hempleman-Adams said that he was very proud of Alicia but also a bit ‘a(chǎn)ngry’ that his daughter had completed the journey faster than him．

　　During the trip, the 15-year-old girl met a lot of difficulties．Her most frightening moment came when she and her teammates, including her PE teacher Jo Simmons, had to cross a lake covered with a thin layer(層)of ice．

　　At the end of her trip, Alicia said that she was glad to have returned．“It was really great to get back to society and a hot shower,” she said．“It was quite weird(怪異)out there when there was nothing around － no buildings, no people, no animals, and nothing else．”

　　Will the young girl start a job in exploration later?No．“I want to try other things first,” she said．

Love,

At radio station WJLT in Fort Wayne, Indiana, letters poured in for the Christmas Wish Contest. When Amy’s letter arrived at the radio station, Manager Lee Tobin read it carefully. He thought it would be good for the people in Fort Wayne to hear about this special girl and her unusual wish. Mr. Tobin called up the local newspaper.

The next day, a picture of Amy and her letter to Santa made the front page of the “News Sentinel”. The story spread quickly. All across the country, newspapers and radio and television stations reported the story of the girl in Fort Wayne, Indiana, who asked for such a simple, yet remarkable, Christmas gift－just one day without teasing.

Suddenly the postman was a regular at the Hagadorn house. Envelopes of all sizes addressed to Amy arrived daily from children and adults all across the nation. They came filled with holiday greetings and words of encouragement. Some of the writers had disabilities; some had been teased as children. Each writer had a special message for Amy. Through the cards and letters from strangers, Amy saw a world full of people who truly cared about each other.

Many people thanked Amy for being brave enough to speak up. Others encouraged her to ignore teasing and to carry her head high.

Amy did get her wish of a special day without teasing at South Wayne High School. Teachers and students talked together about how bad teasing can make others feel.

That year, the Fort Wayne mayor officially proclaimed(宣布) December 21st as Amy Jo Hagadorn Day throughout the city.
