Paddleboarding(單槳沖浪) is a water sport. You can do this sport on rivers, but most of big competitions are held on the ocean. The main competition for paddleboarders is the race from Molokai to Oahu in Hawaii. It has been held each year since 1996 and covers about 50 kilometers. On a good day, with the right kind of waves, you don't always have to use your arms because the water carries you some of the way But, on a bad day, you are using your arms the whole way.

Competitors must be very strong. One of paddleboarding's most famous competitors is the Australian Jamie Mitchell. Not many people know about Mitchell, but he is the ten-time winner of the Molokai to Oahu Race.

Because the sport isn't well-known, the prize money for winning paddleboarding is small compared to other sports. But Mirchell surely loves the sport because he trains two or three times a day, six days a week, for the four months before the race. At the same time, he has to make money, so he does anything including working in bars or building work.

So how does Mitchell stay interested in such a sport?. He says, “I just love paddleboarding. It's not about winning. It's about coming to Hawaii and spending time with my good friends in a place that I love.”

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,判斷正(T)誤(F)。

1.The Molokai to Oahu Race is held every four years.

2.Jamie Mitchell has won the race ten times.

3.Jamie Mitchell trains four days a week for four months before the Race.

4.What makes Jamie Mitchell stay interested in paddleboarding is that helps him keep strong.

5.The passage is mainly about a top paddleboarder.
