17．Phil White has just returned from an 18，000-mile，around-the-world bicycle trip．White had two reasons for making this  epic journey．First of all，he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity，which he did．He raised￡70，000for the British charity，Oxfam．White's second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world．He is still waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not．
White set off from Trafalgar Square，in London，on 19th June 2004and was back 299days later．He spent more than l，300hours in the saddle（车座） and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains．He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe，the Middle East，India，Asia，Australia，New Zealand and the Americas．Amazingly，he did all of this with absolutely no support team．No jeep carrying food，water and medicine．No doctor．Nothing!Just a bike and a very，very long road．
The journey was lonely and desperate at times．He also had to fight his way across deserts，through jungles and over mountains．He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up to 45degrees，all to help people in need．There were other dangers along the road．In Iran，he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had．The worst thing that happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia．For l，000kilometres he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him．This part of the trip was slow，hard work and depressing，but he made it in the end．Now Mr．White is back and intends to write a book about his adventures．

16．Born in 1910，my mother was the first director I ever met．Wearing an apron and teaching tap in the basement of our apartment building，she was a housewife and dance teacher．Even from a young age she was an entertainer who thought performing was not just a hobby or even a profession but a way of living that was as essential as breathing or eating．
Mom was always"on"from her energetic teaching of her dance students to her late-night work when she would type out songs，dance routines，and funny plays for her dance recital．I would be in my bed and still hear her typewriter as I went to sleep at night．Her typing sounded like rain．Always working，she would go to Broadway shows，steal the routines，and come back and type them out for her students to perform．I knew right from the beginning that if I could make my mom laugh，then I could make her love me．
When I grew up and moved to Hollywood as an adult，I would later create 14prime-time TV shows and direct 17movies．During my five decades in show business，I never forgot my mother's advice to find the humor in anything．I wanted to entertain the world and not put people to sleep．If my mom had been born at a different time in history she might have become a stage actress or a performer herself．Instead，she trained my two sisters and I to work in the field of entertainment．She remains to this day my inspiration and creative compass．I will never stop carrying on my mother's message，and I will never stop missing her．In fact，as a  tribute to my mother I built The Marjorie Ward Marshall Dance Center at Northwestern University．Whenever I visit the building it helps remind me that to entertain people and make them laugh is what my own career has been all about．

15．I have been using the Internet since I was five years old，when my dad first sat me down in front of a computer and connected me to the World Wide Web．
I've always felt like a master of the Internet world．AOL Instant Messaging，MSN，Gmail，Facebook，Myspace-I've got it all under control．I thought there was nothing more to it besides checking my e-mail and wasting my time，until I was introduced to electronic commerce （e-commerce）：business on the Internet．
Some online businesses are run from one-room home offices．Others have hundreds of employees spread across five different continents．Have you ever heard of Amazon．com，Yahoo．com？
My friends often said they got cheap textbooks off Amazon．com，or had a good deal on Steve Madden boots that were on sale at SteveMadden．com．Unfortunately for me，I continued my"e-commerce-less"Web-surfing，unaware（未意识到） of all the deals I was missing out on．
That is，of course，until my sister finally sold the idea to me．
"Why are all these packages arriving in the mail for you，Katy？"I asked her one day．Strange envelopes had been put on our doorstep for weeks now，each one always addressed to my sister； and we all know little sisters should never be getting more mail than their older siblings （兄弟姐妹）!
"Oh，it's the stuff I ordered online!"she answered．I watched speechlessly as she opened item after item．There was no way our parents were letting her spend that much money----online or off!
"How much did all of this cost？"
"Oh，only about $15in all!"She said excitedly．"Everything on eBay is on sale!It's way better than going to the mall．"
I felt as if during my entire life，there had been a store right in my backyard that I had never walked into! That week，I ordered a used Spanish textbook for my summer course online for 10percent of the publishing price．A few days later，I bought an iPod protector and a book or two through the wonderful eBay．com．

13．I can still remember the first day when I met my best friend．She had just moved into the neighborhood and her grandmother brought her down to meet me．I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother，scared to look at each other．
  Soon，we lost the shyness and started playing with each other，bike riding to each other's house and having sleepovers．In 7^th grade she was going through family problems．However，every summer we would always sit at each other's house and watch movies on TV and talk about all the boys we liked．
   It was last year when I noticed the problem．She suffered from clinical depression（抑郁症），and had to go to a hospital during the day．I was very sorry for her at first．But with the late night calls，and meeting each other halfway up the street at midnight，we still stayed in touch．I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend left her，and I knew I still cared about her like a sister．
  Yesterday she came to me and said this．"I never knew what a best friend was until you were the only person that would stop me from cutting myself； the only person that ever made me feel better about myself and my problems．You didn't know this but I was trying to kill myself that very night you called me and I was crying．I owe you so much，and you didn't even know you were helping me．"
    We both cried．And I guess a kind of lesson from my life so far is to never give up your friends．Even if they aren't as cool as others，or people think they are crazy，they need someone there．If you leave them，you will only be very sorry．So if friends need you，and you care for them，you should be always there for them．
