Ambition and determination have always been a big part ofEllen’s personality．When she was younger，she lived in a kind of hut(棚屋) for three years while she was trying to get sponsorship to compete in a transatlantic race．Then she took a one-way ticket to France，bought a tiny seven meterClass Miniyacht，slept under it while she was repairing it，and then she raced it 4，000 kilometers across theAtlanticin 1997，alone for 33 days．
Ellen has had to learn many things，because sailing single-handed means that she has to be her own captain，electrician，sailmaker，engineer，doctor，journalist，cameraman and cook．She also has to be very fit，and because of the dangers of sleeping for long periods of time she’s in the middle of the ocean，she has trained herself to sleep for about 20 minutes at a time．

But in her diary，Ellen also describes moments which make it all worthwhile(值得的)：“A、beautiful sunrise started the day，with black clouds slowly lit by the bright yellow sun．I have a very strong feeling of pleasure，being out here on the ocean and having the chance to live this．I just feel lucky to be here”．
B．It is surprising．
C．It is dangerous．
D．It is relaxing．
