5.Two UK teachers,Richard Sears and Nick Gough,have overtaken the record for the longest journey made in a tuk-tuk (a three-wheeled vehicle).
They have travelled 37,500 kilometres and passed through 37 countries.They p assed the record for a tuk-tuk journey of 37,410 km,set by Germans Susi Bemsel and Daniel Snaider in 2005,while crossing Northern Peru.
The pair,who left London in August,have travelled across deserts and forests.They have also survived close encounters (相遇) with elephants in Uganda and Botswana and an accident in Malaysia.
"Although there have been many testing times,we are happy to have experienced such wonderful places and to have met some truly great people,"Nick said.
Talking about their motivation (动机),Richard said,"The world's leaders have made a promise to achieve primary education worldwide by 2015,but over 57 million primary-aged children are now still out of school.Many more are in school,though they still cannot get better learning opportunities."
To raise awareness (意识) of education projects in parts of the world where many kids have no chance to go to school,the pair planned this journey.They have been visiting schools along the route to get to know their needs and invite sponsors(发起者) through their charity Tuk Tuk Travels.
Their choice of transport was designed to take advantage of its slow-paced,open and friendly nature to unlock different cultures and learn about and from t heir values and struggles (挣扎).The vehicle itself is eye-catching.
When their tuk-tuk broke down,not for the first time and just 70 kilometres short of the world record mark,the pair had to push the 800-kilogram vehicle for three days to make up the distance.
Having had their tuk-tuk fixed in Chepén,Peru,Richard and Nick are now back on the road.On reaching Chile,they will become the first people to drive a tuk-tuk around the world.

20.Home to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia(怀旧).It's fun to come home.It looks the same.It smells the same.You'll realize what's changed is you.Home is where we ran remember pain,live,and some other experiences; We parted here; My parents met here; I won three championships here.
If I close my eyes,I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home.I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass-top wooden table.To the right of the living room is my first bedroom.It's empty,but it's where my earliest memories are.
There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays,and where I cried on Halloween-when I didn't want to wear the skirt my mother made for me.I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong.If I sit at this table,I can see my favorite room in the house,my parents'room.It is simple:a brown wooden dresser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side.Their bed is my safe zone.I can jump on it anytime-waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning.
I'm lucky because I know my first home still exists.It exists in my mind and heart,on a physical property(住宅) on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles.It is proof I lived,I grew and I learned.
Sometimes when I feel lost,I lie down and shut my eyes,and I go home.I know it's where I'll find my family,my dogs,and my belongings.I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I'll be blamed by Mom.But I don't mind,because I want to hear her say my name,which reminds me I'm home.
