  A 15-year-old girl has walked across an Arctic(北极的)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 ‘angry’ 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(层)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(怪异)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.

I thought my luck had run out at the end of the summer holiday. It was not the   31  of the new term that did it, but the   32  military training. My   33  nightmare(噩梦) had finally come true.
The weather was   34  hot when we were training. Sweat dropped from every part of my body. I   35  as if my mouth was going to catch fire.   36  was the only thing I could think about. It was the first time in my life that I have ever really felt   37 .
However, we had to stand completely   38  all day. The drill-master(教官) were very strict with us. They only   39  us to sit directly on the ground for a few minutes. My heels ached and I had a blister(水泡) on my   40 .
Believe me, this was not the most   41  part. What I couldn’t   42  most of all was the smell of the toilets. It left such a deep impression on me that I can almost smell it right now.I guess most of the other students   43  the same experience that I had. I often thought of giving up and going back home.   44 , I didn’t.
One day, our PE teacher came to watch our   45  for a while. Then he  46  to join the national flag squad(队). “You movement is the best of all,” he praised me. It was so   47 ! I almost couldn’t believe my ears. It was a great honor to be chosen for the squad.
From that day on, I worked much harder than before because I knew I was going to   48  the national flag. Every Monday, thousands of eyes would be   49  on me. Now military training has finished and I have become a flag protector in my school. Every time I raise the flag, I know all my hard work has   50  .
