From an early age, Ernest Shackleton was drawn to the sea. (1) While he loved to read because it fueled his appetite for adventure, he was often bored in school. His father, a doctor, wanted Ernest to pursue medicine, but he accepted the boy’s restless nature and allowed him to join a southbound ship’s crew when he was sixteen. (2) His first experience at sea in 1890 was a difficult one, but Shackleton wasn’t discouraged. In fact, he dreamed of going even farther south to mysterious Antarctica. (3) By age twenty-four, Shackleton had qualified to be a ship’s commander. In 1899, he learned that the Royal Geographical Society was organizing an expedition to the Antarctic.

When a person ingests caffeine, whether in the form of a cup of coffee or tea, a caffeinated soda, or even a piece of dark chocolate, the drug begins to take effect almost immediately. First, caffeine enters the bloodstream through the membranes of the stomach and small intestine. It is then metabolized by the liver, which breaks it down into other chemicals. Within fifteen minutes of consumption, most people begin to feel the effects of caffeine, which can include increased heart rate and feelings of alertness or well-being. Within six hours of consumption, about half of the original dose of the drug will have been eliminated from the body. This is why some people drink a second cup of coffee in the afternoon.what type of text structure is it?
