An Amazing Adventure
Erden Eruẹ is Turkish but now lives in Seattle, USA, with his wife Nancy. In July 2012, he
completed an amazing 5-year journey, becoming the first person ever to travel all the way around the
world with no help from engines or sails. All he used were his own arms and legs, to cycle, row, and
walk around the world.
His plan before beginning the trip was to climb the highest mountain on each of the six
continents that he went through. Unfortunately he was only able to climb three of them because of bad
weather and money problems.
Erden spent a lot of his time on the trip rowing his boat. His journey across the Pacific Ocean
took 312 days. Being alone for that much time was not at all easy, but he kept busy by listening to
music and studying Spanish. He took dried food with him and had a water machine to make fresh water
out of seawater. However, it only worked on sunny days.
Erden is sure he will have more adventures one day. But at the moment all he wants to do is rest, think about his trip and
spend time with Nancy

Task 3: Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each question. (5pts)
The idea of a driverless car is not new. Now there are already cars on the road that can park
themselves. But a truly self-driving car, one that can drive itself, is being tested by scientists and
engineers.
Self-driving cars have already tested on public roads. These cars not only record images of the
road, but their computerised maps view road signs, find alternative routes and see traffic lights even
before they are seen by a person. By using radars and cameras, the cars can analyse information about
their surroundings faster than a human can.
In some of the tests, the car learn the details of a road by driving on it several times, and when it is time
to drive itself, it can identify when there are pedestrians crossing and then stops to let them pass by.
Self-driving cars could make transport safer for all of us by eliminating the cause of most of today's
accidents.
Although self-driving cars may seem far off, some people believe that there will be driverless cars in
showrooms in about 10 years.

A. Self-driving car: a far off image

A. park themselves

A. By viewing road signs
B. By seeing traffic lights quickly
C. By using radars and cameras
D. By driving on it several times

A. tests
