A North Pole Traveller Ben Saunders Short 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 object of jokes in school gym classes in England’s rural Devonshire. It was a mountain bike he 1 (receive)for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first the teen went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then be began to cycle along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his mind 2 (build) up his body, increasing his speed, strength and 3 (endure). At age 18, he ran his first marathon. The following year, he met John Ridgway, who became famous in the 1960s for rowing an open boat across the Atlantic Ocean. Saunders was 4 (hire)as an instructor at Ridgway’s school of Adventure in Scored, where he learned about the older man’s cold-water exploits(成就). Intrigued, Saunders 5 (read) all he could about Arctic explorers and North Pole expeditions, then decided that this would be his future. Journeys to the Pole aren’t the usual holidays for British country boys, and many people 6 (dismiss) his dream as fantasy. "John Ridgway was one of the few who didn’t say, ’You are 7 (complete)crazy, ’" Saunders says. In 2001, after 8 (become)a skilled skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition toward the North Pole. He suffered frostbite, had a closer encounter(遭遇)with a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit. Saunders has since become the 9 (young)person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he’s skied more of the Arctic by himself than any other Briton. His old playmates would not believe the transformation. This October, Saunders, 27, heads south to 10 (explore) from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, an 1800-mile journey that has never been completed on skis.

More Than 8 Hours Sleep Too Much of a Good Thing 1 Although the dangers of too little sleep are widely known, a new research suggest that people who sleep too much may also suffer the consequences. 2 Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling and staying asleep, as well as a number of other sleep problems, than people who sleep 8 hours a night. People who slept only 7 hours each night also said they had more trouble falling asleep and feeling refreshed after a night’s sleep than 8 hour sleepers, 3 These findings, which DL Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, demonstrate that people who want to get a good night’s rest may not need to set aside more than 8 hours a night. He added that "it might be a good idea"for people who sleep more than 8 hours each night to consider reducing the amount of time they spend in bed, but cautioned that more research is needed to confirm this. 4 Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep, for instance, one report demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more. 5 For the current report, Kripke reviewed the responses of 1, 004 adults to sleep questionnaires, in which participants indicated how much they slept during the week and whether they experienced any sleep problems. Sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night, arising early in the morning and being unable to fall back to sleep, and having fatigue interfere with day-to-day functioning. 6 Kripke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours. In an interview, Kripke noted that long sleepers may struggle to get rest at night simply because they spend too much time in bed. As evidence, he added that one way to help insomnia is to spend less time in bed. "It stands to reason that if a person spends too long a time in bed, then they’ll spend a higher percentage of time awake." he said. A. Kripke’s research tool B.
