John Thomson was born in 1827 in Norway and moved to the United States with his parents when he was ten years old. In 1851, John Thomson went west to California to try his luck at finding gold. However, he had very little success, so he decided to give up mining and buy a small farm. His new farm was high on the western side of the Rocky Mountains. In winter, deep snow closed the pass from the eastern to the western side of the mountains, sometimes for weeks at a time. No one could enter or leave; not even the mail(邮件)could be delivered(投递).
Thomson was an imaginative man. He made himself a pair of skis(滑雪板)and practiced on the snowy fields near his house. In January 1856, he went to the post office and told the postmaster that he would carry the mail over the closed pass. It took Thomson almost four days to travel the 90 miles from the post office to the small town near his farm where he delivered the mail. His pack of mail often weighed 80 pounds, so he carried little food and no blankets. When he stopped to rest, he made a small fire and put his feet near it to keep them warm.
After a dozen years of delivering the mail in this way, a railroad was completed over the pass, and Thomson's mail service was no longer needed. He retired(退职)with the thanks of his grateful neighbors and returned to being a farmer. He continued skiing for pleasure in his spare time.

in two sledges (雪橇). Because the Arctic is covered with ice andwater, he would sometimes have to
sit on his sledges and use them like a boat.

this terribly low temperature, he had made good progress across the ice. Suddenly, ithe ice was broken
and one of his sledges fell into the sea. Jeff needed to get it back, so he hadto put his hand into the
ice-covered water.
Once he had got the sledge back, Jeff put up his tent, lit a fire and tried to warm up hiscold hand. It

hurt his left hand in the icy water. They saved his hand andadvised him not to travel to the North Pole
