Part
II
A:
After
13
years
and
46,
000
miles
(75,000
km)
a
British
adventurer
has
completed
a
round-the-world
journey
using
human power alone.
Jason Lewis,
40, crossed five continents , two oceans and a sea
to become the first person to
circumnavigate the globe under his
own
steam.
He
finally
returned
to
the
UK
on
Saturday,
crossing
the
Greenwich
Meridian
Line,
in
his
custom-designed,
26ft
(8
m),
pedal-
powered boat,
“
Moksha
”
. It was the same point where his
journey began on 12 July, 1994 when he
was just 26 years old.
Jason
used
a
variety
of
modes
of
transport
during
his
epic
journey,
including
cycling,
swimming,
kayaking,
and
in-
line
skating.
His
route
took
him
west
from
Britain
to
the
USA
and
then on to Australia,
Asia, and Africa before returning to Europe
from the east.
The journey was
not
without
dangers: in
Colrado Jason was
run over
by a drunk driver while in-line skating at the
side of the
road.
He
spent
six
weeks
in
hospital
an
nearly
had
a
limb
amputated.
As well as surviving the
car accident, Jason was
robbed and
beaten several times on his journey,
chansed by a giant crocodile
in
Australia,
and
arrested
by
the
Egyptian
military
as
a
suspected
spy. But on the way he has raised money fro
children
’
s
charities
around
the
world
as
well
as
developing
an
education
program for
schoolchildren based on his travels.
What now for the world
traveler?
Jason
is
happy
to
be
back
and
may
hang
up
his
boots
for
a
while.
“
I
’
ve
seen enough
deserts.
I’
ve missed green rolling
hills and
cozy pubs, sitting
by the fire drinking a pint of warm
beer
,
”
said
Jason.
“
I do miss British
humor
.
It
’
s nice to be
with people who take
the Mickey out of
each other
.
”
B:
German ace
Michael Schumacher is widely recognized as being
the world
’
s best
ever racing driver
. In 1995 Michael
became the
youngest double Formula 1
World Champion (1994-1995 seasons)
ever
.
He
is
also
the
2000,
2001,
2002,
2003,
and
2004
World
Champion. This
phenomenal record speaks for itself. In 2003 he
beat Juan
Manuel
Fangio
’
s five
championships form
the 1950s,
by taking his sixth! He has now retired
form F1, at the end of the
2006 season.
The
