In 2017, British polar explorer Ben Saunders attempted the challenge but he had to abandon the journey after 52 days for lack of food. Another explorer, Henry Worsley, also attempted to cross Antarctica alone supported, but Worsley had to seek help when there were 30 miles left from the end of the journey.

O'Brady spent a year getting ready for all the different aspects of the trip.

For the physical side of things, O'Brady trained every day, doing strength training, according to Men's Health. While every day was different, bench presses and weightlifting were all part of his workout. And cardio (有氧运动) was also necessary.

O'Brady didn't want to repeat the food-based problems that had affected previous attempts. "People who have tried this tough journey in the past, their failures have come unfortunately from not getting that nutrition perfectly right," he said. "I thought perfecting that was important."

To that end, O'Brady worked with Standard Process, a "whole food supplement" company that, with O'Brady's help, made a personalized nutrition bar tailored (定制的) to his body's needs for walking across Antarctica. The size and shape of a gold brick with a light taste of chocolate, the so-called Colin Bar helped him get the 8,000 calories he needed each day.

Then there was the simple matter of figuring out how to pack the sled. According to Outside, O'Brady's sled weighed 375 pounds when he started, carrying 280 of the Colin Bars, additional food, 55 pounds of fuel needed to melt the five liters of water he needed per day and 75 pounds of equipment and clothing.

O'Brady wasn't the only person attempting to cross the continent supported. Louis Rudd, a friend of Worsley, also attempted the journey. Their journey was 912 miles.

O'Brady was the first to finish the journey; he set up camp to wait for Rudd. Then they would fly to Union Glacier together.

Venkat's passion4 helping others started as soon as she could walk, as her parents, active volunteers themselves, brought her along on their various5, like some creative ways to volunteer. By fifth grade, she'd6 such enthusiasm for it that she started organizing her own service projects in her community.

NEST4US was born when she realized how much food waste there is, how many hungry people there are, and how7 it would be to use the former to help the8. "There was a homeless man standing on a corner in D.C. and he was holding a9 that said ‘Hungry Need Food'," she recalls. "So I gave him my lunch and his whole face just10. It was so easy, it only took me 30 seconds,11 it really helped him."

As NEST4US12, with hundreds of volunteers helping to13 thousands of hungry people, Venkat decided to branch out with her volunteer14, starting three other branches of NEST4US. Serving others had become such a way of life for her that she15 celebrated her 13th birthday at a homeless shelter, bringing the party to them16 expecting gifts for herself.

As much as she has helped others, they've helped her as well. Not only does she get a lot of joy and personal17 from her volunteer work but running NEST4US has taught her important life18 like time management, public speaking, writing, and leadership. "19 it's really given me is this opinion of putting other people first," she says. Venkat has given us a wonderful example of the20 that one person can make to help others in their time of need.

— Don't worry. He ________ a board with your name on it at that time.

________ .I can take your order over the phone.

During my final year of college, I shared a small dorm room with my classmate Kim. I was never a tidy person — my side of the room always looked like a disaster area, covered with books, shirts, and single socks. Kim, on the other hand, was extremely organized. She labeled each of her drawers and even color-coded her class schedule. She arranged her pens by color and folded her sweaters according to the season; everything had its own spot. Our contrasting habits often made us irritate (惹恼) each other.

One evening in the middle of October, things reached a breaking point. After evening self-study, I casually kicked off my basketball shoes. One of them accidentally slid under Kim's bed. When she found it, her face turned bright red with anger. She picked up the shoe and threw it violently toward my side. It hit my desk lamp, knocking it over. The lamp fell to the floor, and the light bulb broke into pieces all over the pile of T-shirts I had intended to fold. I jumped up, shouting at her for being so disrespectful. She shouted back, complaining about my constant mess. We both rushed toward the door, each determined to be the first to slam (砰地关上) it shut.

We might not have come back that night if the phone hadn't rung just then. I sat on my bed, still angry. Kim picked up the phone. From her brief, unsteady responses, I could tell something was wrong. After she hung up, she crawled (匍匐) into her bed, pulled the covers over herself, and began to cry. The room suddenly fell into a heavy silence, filled with a new kind of unease.
