Imagine climbing the three highest mountains in Britain. Now, imagine climbing all three in 24 hours. That’s what Rebecca Shedden, a British schoolgirl did and she’s only eight years old. She is one of the youngest people who have arrived on top of Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis, the three highest mountains in Britain.
Rebecca and her dad finished the climb, a total of about 11,000 feet (3,353 metres), in 23 hours and 15 minutes. That includes the time spent driving to each mountain: a distance of 500 miles!
Climbing isn’t new to this schoolgirl. She took her first trip up a mountain in her dad’s backpack when she was just six months old!
“One of the best parts about this climb was Scafell Pike,” said Rebecca. “I’ve never walked in the dark before, and it was fun seeing all the sheep eyes as they ran around in the dark.”
Rebecca brought along food, water, a medical kit (药箱), a hat, a map, a lamp, a camera to take photos and even a mobile phone in case (万一) something went wrong. Along the way, she and her dad had fun by making up mountain songs.
“All my friends like to stay inside playing computer games, but I like being outdoors best,” says Rebecca. Rebecca also enjoys swimming and skiing.
The young climber doesn’t plan to stay on flat land for long. She wants to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain in Africa. “And I would like to climb Mount Qomolangma one day, too,” she said.
小题1:What is the distance up and down all these three highest mountains in Britain?
小题2:Why did Rebecca like climbing Scafell Pike best of the three trips?
小题3:Rebecca likes climbing probably because ______.

Australia is an island and it is a continent. It is the largest island in the world but it is the smallest continent.
It is almost 7.7million sq. km. Compared with China, China is about 2 million sq. km. larger.
Australia is in the south of the world. It lies between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. The Indian
Ocean is to the west and the south. The Pacific Ocean is to the east.
Most of the western half of Australia is highland. But it is not very high, and the land is rather flat (平坦).
High flat land is not called mountains. It is called Plateau. The west of Australia is called the Western-Australian
Plateau. It is about 300 m high.
There is high land in the east of Australia, too. Some of it is plateau and some of it is mountains. The
highest mountain is in the southeast. It is called MT Kosciusko. It is 2228 m high. This high land in the east is
sometimes called the Great Dividing Range. It has this name because it divides the east coast from the rest of
the country. Between the Great Dividing Range and the western Australian Plateau the land is low. This part of
the country is called the Central Lowlands.
The only big river in Australia is the River Murray. It begins in the mountains in the southeast of the
country and it runs westward into the Indian Ocean.

If a man in a spaceship looked down at the earth, he would see mainly water. He might think that the earth was one giant ocean with little land.
Nearly seven-tenths of the earth's surface is covered by water. One ocean, the Pacific (
太平洋), has an area of 63 million square miles.Many years ago people thought that the land under all this water was flat. Now they know that this is not true. There are as many mountains under the sea as there are on the land.
At first, there was very little salt in the sea. The salt was brought into the, sea by rivers. It is possible to measure the age of the earth by measuring the amount of salt in the sea. Scientists can calculate how many years it took for this amount of salt to be carried from the land into the sea.
