  • 1. (2019九上·徐汇期末) Listen to the passage and complete the following sentences.
    Many people would be ready to just put their feet up if they made it to age 101, but Irino<br />Shea, a 101-year-old great-grandmother from Australia, has recently become the oldest<br />person in the world to skydive and jump out of a plane. The risk-taking, adventure-loving<br />grandmother jumped from the South Australian sky at 4,267 metres. She kept a firm smile<br />on her face. In her dive, Miss O'Shea was at the speed of 220 kilometres per hour. This<br />is a success for a woman who still drives and lives by herself. She was doing this to raise<br />money for some disease research. After her daughter passed away from the disease several<br />years ago, this is a way to raise money.<br />We must find a solution for this disease, said Miss O'Shea. Before her beating in the<br />world record, the record was set by UK-based Vernon Hayes, who jumped 4,572 metres from<br />a plane when he was also 101 years old. This isn't the first time the act of Granny has<br />performed a history-making jump. Miss O'Shea surprised her family when she jumped from<br />a plane in 2016. For Miss O'Shea, it was the most amazing thing she had done. I really<br />enjoyed it, and I'm looking forward to doing another one, she said. What a brave and caring<br />great grandmother.
