Reading comprehension(阅读理解)

　　In 1908, six cars began a race from New York to Paris. The men in them really had a hard time. They drove through deserts and mountain, storms and cold weather. Many times they had to stop and fix their cars. The roads were very poor. Most roads were only mud(泥).

　　The German Team pushed their car, the huge Protos, up the hill. “It has not been easy, but it will be better now, men. We will soon come to the top and we can roll it down,” said their captain. But the car was so heavy and the mud so thick that they had to push the car down the hill, too.

　　The Americans, in the Thomas, hurried to cross the river. “Oh, good! The boat hasn't gone yet!” they said. They drove the Thomas onto the boat. The boat quickly went down in the water. The Thomas also went down. It took all day to get the car out.

　　Hans Hanson was on the French Team. “We have chosen you because you know the north country,” said Sanshefe, the leader. Later they discovered that Hanson knew the north country, but he didn't know how to drive.

　　Scotfolio, leader of the Italian Team, woke up. “Wake up, men!” he shouted, “We've been here three hours.” The driver opened his eyes and saw the wheels. “I think we will be here longer, my friend. Somebody had stolen our tires.”

　　Only three of the cars reached Paris to finish the race. The race took them across the United States, by boat to Japan, across Japan to Russia, through Asia to Europe and Paris. The Thomas was the winner. It reached Paris after the Protos. But the German Team sometimes used trains and then discovered this was against the rules. All three teams were really winners. They won a long and hard race against weather, robbers, bad roads, animals, and floods. They were brave men who believed in themselves and their cars.
