PARIS，France—As a child，Alain Robert was afraid of heights．One day，when he was 12，he returned home from school．At the front door of his building，he looked for his keys．He didn't have them．It was 3：30 p.m. and his parents worked until 6：00 p．m．Alain looked at his apartment（公寓）on the eighth floor．He saw an open window．He closed his eyes and imagined himself climbing the building．When he opened his eyes，he told himself．“I can do it．” Fifteen minutes later，he was in his house and his fear of heights was gone．

Today，Alain still climbs buildings．In 2003，he climbed a building in London dressed as Spiderman（蜘蛛侠）to advertise the movie．In 2004，he climbed Taipei 101（one of the tallest buildings in the world）．To reach the top of a building，Alain uses only his hands and special shoes．

Alain climbs as a hobby．He also does it to make money for charity（for children and the homeless）．When he climbs，he wants to send a message to people．If you have a dream—something you really want to do—it can become real．But you must be brave and keep trying．If something bad happens，don’t give up．Close your eyes and tell yourself，“I can do it．”

One night he comes home very late. It is 11:00 p.m. But he can’t find his keys. He rings the bell(门铃). Nothing happens(发生). He rings it again. Again nothing happens. No one can hear it. Mr. Black knocks on the bedroom window. He calls his wife’s name. He shouts but his wife doesn’t wake up. At last he stops and thinks for a few minutes. Then he begins to speak like a small child. “Mother,” he says. “I want to go to WC.” Mrs Black wakes up at once (立刻). Then he speaks to her, and she opens the door for him.
