Seventeen years ago，Matt Harding quit his day job to go on a journey that would lead him to more than 30 countries in seven continents.Best known for a dance that looks very similar to running in place while moving his body，Matt and his dance eventually attracted the attention of Stride Gum.The company then paid Matt to travel，dance and record videos.He has danced with locals in Mulind，Rwanda；and in a narrow canyon in Petra，Jordan；and in a crowded street in Tokyo，Japan，all on the expenses provided by his sponsor（贊助商）. "I'm most thankful for dancing.The dancing gives me an opportunity to see places I'd never get to otherwise.The people and experiences have taught me a great deal，" Matt Harding said.
   Every state has its highest point，and Wilson Moniz has climbed them all.By the age of 12，Wilson had already earned the record of being the youngest climber to reach all 50 high points in the United States.His journey，which lasted just 43 days，took him from the lowest high point in Florida to the highest point in Alaska. "It's important to try to encourage kids to go outside and protect public land." Wilson Moniz said.
   Helen Thayer became the first woman to ski solo to the North Pole at age fifty.She walked across the landscapes，experienced the low temperatures and faced the threat of polar bears.At age 63，Helen walked across all 1，600 miles of the Gobi Desert.She's also boated 2，200 miles of the Amazon River，which she's written books about.She said，"That I was the first woman to reach the pole on a solo adventure was unimportant to me.It was the learning experience and the struggle to overcome the challenges that made the journey so worthwhile and precious."
