D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）
An Afro-American boy was born in Brooklyn, New York. He grew up in poverty. He could not see any hope
for the future.
When the boy turned 13, his father showed him an old shirt and asked, “How much does it cost?”
“Probably $1,” he replied.
“Can you sell it at $2?” the father looked at him.
“Only a fool will buy it!” the boy shouted.
“Why don’t you have a try?” his father said.
The boy nodded and said, “I will try, but I can’t promise anything.” He carefully washed the old shirt and
smoothed out the creases (皱眉) in it. The next day, he came to a crowded subway station. After about six hours,
he sold it to a passer-by. With the two dollars he ran all the way home excitedly.
After ten days, the father asked his son, “Can you sell an old shirt at $20?”
“No way! An old shirt is only worth $2,” the boy argued.
“Why not try it again?” said his father.
The boy decided to ask his cousin to draw a cute Mickey Mouse on the old shirt. This time he chose to sell it
at the gate of a private school. Soon, it was sold to a little girl. She loved the design so much that she tipped him $5.
When the boy got home, his father handed him another old shirt and asked him to sell it at $200. Surprisingly,
the boy took the shirt at once.
The opportunity (机会) finally came. Farrah Fawcett, a famous film star, came to New York. After the pressconference, the boy made his way through the crowd and asked for her autograph (签名). Farrah smiled at the
innocent child and signed the old shirt. The boy shouted to the crowd, “A shirt with Miss Farrah Fawcett’s
autograph is priced at $200!” It was not long before a businessman bought the shirt at $1200.

Engineer Jeff Dent, 46, and wife Alison, 44, always loved sailing (帆船航行). They first met at a sailing club
and their dream was to sail around the world.
So when Jeff became jobless in January 1999, they decided to make their dream come true. Alison left her job
as a teacher and they bought an eight-meter sailing boat. They wanted to sail from Britain to South Africa, then to
Australia, across the South Pacific to Argentina, and back to Britain across the Atlantic.
They weren’t the first people to make this journey, but this time there was one big difference---Jeff and Alison
took their three children with them: ten-year-old Oliver, Charlotte, who was seven, and three-year-old Daniel.
Yesterday, after two years and 48,000 kilometers, they arrived back in Britain. To their great surprise,
hundreds of friends and journalists were there to meet them.
“It was very difficult,”said Alison, “but it was also the best two years of my life.”
The children also loved it. “We were a great team.It was an amazing journey.” Jeff said.

When Sam was young, he lived in a small village near the sea in Scotland. Life was very different at that time.
It was the 1930s, so there wasn’t any TV in his family, but they had a radio, and they listened to it every evening.
His parents didn’t have a car, so Sam went to school on foot-six miles every day! Sam didn’t study very hard, and
left school when he was fourteen. There weren’t any cinemas near his village, so every Saturday Sam met hisfriends on the beach and they played football all day. When Sam was fifteen, his parents sold the house and the
family moved to England. Sam never went back to his village, but he can still hear the sea in his head.
