He arrived in Australia on 12 December, just 107 days out from England. He received a warm welcome from the Australians and from his fami

12、ly who had flown there to meet him. On shore, Chichester could not walk without help. Everybody said the same thing: he had done enough; he must not go any further. But he did not listen.After resting in Sydney for a few weeks, Chichester set off once more in spite of his friends attempts to dissuad

13、e him. The second half of his voyage was by far the more dangerous part, during which he sailed round the treacherous Cape Horn.After succeeding in sailing round Cape Horn, Chichester sent the following radio message to London: I feel as if I had wakened from a nightmare.

14、me down to Cape Horn and that sinister Southern Ocean again.Just before 9 oclock on Sunday evening 28 May 1967, he arrived back in England, where a quarter of a million people were waiting to welcome him.Queen Elizabeth II knighted(授以爵位) him with the very sword that Queen Elizabeth I had used almost

19、 met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth; I believe thats from cracking the seeds,” he said.I had never noticed the habit but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever Im watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracki

20、ng sunflower seeds.

21、s even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Years Eve to check out what every household was making.I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking.

27、“Data is the new oil.” Like the sticky black thing, all those Is and 0s are of little use until they are processed into something more valuable.
