G. Read the text below and answer the questions that follow.<br />
Sailing’s <strong>You</strong>ng Hope<br />
Ellen MacArthur is the inspirational woman sailor who on February 7,<br />
2005 broke the world record when she became the fastest person to sail<br />
around the world. Ellen became interested in sailing at the age of eight<br />
when she was taken aboard her aunt’s sailing boat. This was an exciting<br />
experience for a young girl living in land-locked Derbyshire so far from the<br />
coast.<br />
Ellen faced many difficulties in becoming a professional sailor<br />
because she lacked sponsorship. Despite this, she raised enough money<br />
to buy a boat and when she was twenty, she entered the Mini Transat<br />
race in France and sailed her boat 3000 miles across the Atlantic in just<br />
33 days. Impressed by this remarkable achievement, a group called<br />
Kingfisher gave Ellen sponsorship. Ellen’s c<strong>are</strong>er as a sailor really took<br />
off after this, particularly in France, where she was adored by the public<br />
and was given the official title ‘Sailing’s <strong>You</strong>ng Hope’.<br />
Next, Ellen entered the Vendee Globe competition with her new boat Kingfisher; she exceeded all<br />
expectations and finished second. The greatest challenge for her was spending over 90 days alone facing<br />
terrifying storms at sea. Ellen showed remarkable determination, courage and endurance.<br />
Ellen went on to become the fastest solo sailor to sail around the world in 2005. In recognition of her<br />
achievement, she was made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire. Ellen is a woman who<br />
has succeeded despite all odds being against her and she is an inspiration to us all.<br />
