　　Fat and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. “Football, tennis, cricket-anything with a round ball, I was useless, ”he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the one always made fun of in school gym classes in Devon-shire, England.

　　It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first he went biking alone in a nearby forest Then he began to ride the bike along with a runner friend. Gradu-ally, Saunders set his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed and strength. At the age of 18, he ran his first marathon

　　The following year, he met John Ridgway and was hired as an instructor at Ridgway's School of Adventure in Scotland, where he learn-ed about Ridgway's cold-water exploits. Greatly interested, Saunders read all he could about North Pole explorers and adventures, then decid-ed that this would be his future.

　　In 2001, after becoming a skillful skier,Saunders started his first long-distance expe-dition(探险)towards the North Pole. It took unbelievable energy. He suffered frostbite(冻 疮), ran into a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit, pulling his supply-loaded sled(雪橇)up and over rocky ice.

　　Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he's skied more of the North Pole by himself than any other British man. His old play-mates would not believe the change.

     Children are a secret weapon for making investment decisions. In a nod to the wisdom of
youth, many wealthy and well-educated technology investors are seeking advice and investment
tips from their children, summer interns(实习生) and twenty something receptionists.
     Unlike the formal consumer tests that focus groups at large companies, these inquiries are taking
place closer to home, with friends and family. But their impact can be broad, because investors not
only help promote the development of new ideas but also invest billions of dollars in those ideas on
behalf of investment groups and wealthy individuals.
     These investors say there is a good reason to ask young people to help them assess new technology:
as the investors themselves are aging, the technology ----including social networking websites and
mobile gadgets- is designed for, used by and sometimes built by people half their age.
     And the trend may indicate the rise of something new in the venture capital industry itself. The
investors said asking the younger people for advice would have been unheard of in the dot-boom of
the 1990s. Then, investors were engaged themselves in the very technology they were financing, ordering
books on Amazon, downloading music from Napster and buying and selling on eBay. But now, in the
so-called Web 2.0 era, investors' personal interests have strayed away from new innovation: websites
like Myspace intended to connect people, free Internet calling tools like Skype or software for mobile
phones.
     And people now in junior school and high school have spent their lives with technology. " This is the
first generation for whom the computer is a native language," said Jim Gauer, managing director of
Palomar Ventures, a Los Angeles firm. " We are all going to have to get re-educated and learn that
language."
     Or they can do what Palomar have done: hire a native speaker . Last summer, the firm had an
intern, Adam Gottesfeld, 21, who was heading into his senior year at Princeton. Mr Gottesfeld so
impressed the firm with his technological knowledge that it has offered him a job as an associate when
he graduates.
