7 Read the article from which some sentences have been taken out. Choose the correct sentences A–G to fill the gaps. There is one sentence you do not need. Across Antarctica For many people, an ‘adventure’ is something quite simple, like going to another country for an annual holiday and experiencing a different culture and unfamiliar scenery and climate. However, for others, an ‘adventure’ has an altogether different meaning. (1) ___ They were competing with a team from Norway to do the journey in the fastest time. However, unlike the Norwegians, who were professional skiers and familiar with the conditions, the British team were amateurs. For them it was a real adventure, and one that they only just survived! For Ben Fogle, a TV presenter who loves a challenge, and James Cracknell, an Olympic rowing champion, it was not their first crazy journey! (2) ___ During that journey, the pair had to deal with a range of problems. This included heat exhaustion, lack of sleep and hurricane-type weather, and nearly drowning when their boat was turned upside down by huge waves. Amazingly, they decided to get together again for another difficult challenge – the race to the South Pole. (3) ___ This adventure was even more dangerous because Ben had just recovered from a very serious medical condition he had caught while he was filming in the jungle for a TV programme. In spite of all his problems, Ben recovered in time and, with the other two, spent months training for the task ahead. This journey proved to be even more difficult than the rowing race. (4) ___ They only allowed themselves four hours sleep a night and before they could rest they had to spend four hours melting ice to provide enough water for them all to drink. They finished the race completely exhausted, with no food left and with their hands and feet suffering from the icy temperatures. (5) ___ Even worse, they did not beat the Norwegians! So, what is the attraction of adventures like these? Is it the fascination of going to places that very few other people have been to? (6) ___ It is certainly very exciting to read about exploits like these, but perhaps a little bit too exciting to motivate the majority of us to take part ourselves! A Every day they had to cover over 25 miles in freezing conditions.
