He says he is doing this to show kids that they can achieve any goal, but he also hopes to have some great adventures along the way.

　　Storms and huge waves regularly force him in the wrong direction and even threaten to overturn his boat. “Sometimes I really feel scared,” says a somewhat embarrassed Eric. “But that’s part of the journey. I knew this wouldn’t be easy when I started.”

　　Protein bars give him energy, and he boils water to heat freeze-dried meals on a one-burner stove. A sun-powered machine removes salt from ocean water so he can drink it, but when that fails he sometimes tries to collect rainwater in a bucket.

　　He’s not bothered by any of the hardships. Eric sees the world as a laboratory where there is much to learn. And when his trip around the world takes him across land, he enjoys meeting people — especially children. He has already visited several schools and shared his story.

　　56．Why is Eric making this trip?

　　A. To learn to overcome various hardships.

　　B. To encourage children to reach for their goal.

　　C. To do experiments all over the world.

　　D. To honor the memory of a fellow climber.

　　．What does Eric plan to do on each of the six continents he will visit?

　　A. Visit schools to share his story.

　　B. Study the culture of the local people.
