    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    　　One bitterly cold day, a snowstorm blew into our area．Needing firewood, I quickly set out with my best friend, Bruce, to look for a tree to cut down．I was glad to have Bruce along．Cutting down a tree in a snowstorm can be dangerous．So it was important to have a friend who could warn me of dangers．

    　　When I chose a big 23-meter-tall tree and prepared to cut it down, my best friend suddenly warned me,“Don’t cut down that tree! It’s too close to the power line!”I wasn’t sure about it．So I decided to disregard his warning．I wanted to finish the job quickly and go home．So I began cutting down the tree．When the tree fell, there was no longer any doubt whether my friend was right．

    　　The tree caught the power line, bringing it to the ground．I considered cutting the tree off the line．After all, electricity can’t travel through wood, so I could safely remove the tree．As I reached out my finger to touch the tree, pain ran up my arm and through my head．I had been shocked!

    　　After I returned home and told my mother what had happened, she quickly called the power company．Workers from the power company soon arrived on the scene．One of them asked if I had touched the tree, and when I told him I had, his face turned pale．

    　　“You should have been killed,”he said．

    　　So why am I still alive?It was my boots that saved my life．

    　　Within two hours, the workers removed the tree．Soon the snowstorm calmed down－but not my mother．

    　　Even though she was glad I wasn’t hurt, my mother was still serious with me．After all, I shouldn’t have brushed off my friend’s warning．

    　　Through this experience, I learned it’s important to listen to people who offer a different perspective．Taking the time to listen might actually save a lot of time and trouble．It certainly would have kept me from getting the“shock of my life．”

           If you have ever been rock climbing, you will know that it is not a very easy sport．In fact, you probably felt quite defeated when you first tried to do any serious climbing． Indoor and outdoor rock climbing are both extremely demanding and require practice to get good at．It is one of the most physically and mentally demanding sports．

           There are three basic types of rock climbing．Top roping is the most common type and the climber need to climb with a partner．The second type, which is very similar to top roping, is called．lead climbing．In both of the types, the climber can sit off the wall and rest on the rope．The third type is called bouldering．Bouldering is a type of free climbing without any ropes．This is the most demanding of all climbing types．The climber must be able to complete the climbing without taking a rest on the rope．

           Believe it or riot, climbing is said to be about 75% legs and only 25% arms．To climb efficiently and successfully, a person needs to have a wonderful technique. One of the major rules of rock climbing is to always have three points touching the wall, whether it is both feet and one hand, or one foot and both hands, as it is much easier to have your weight rest on three points than on two． Another important idea to grasp is that your arms in most cases will do the climbing; they only hold you into the wall so that your legs are actually pushing you upward．Also, the closer you are to the wall, the easier it is to climb．

           Rock climbing may sound a bit too extreme for the everyday person, but it is really an amazing workout．Once you get into the sport, and learn how to position your body and rest your weight, then you can begin to deal with some difficult problems．The great thing about rock climbing is that it is mentally challenging as well．You are constantly analyzing the way your body moves and how to do certain moves on the wall． For anyone who wants to get into shape, rock climbing is a fun and effective way to exercise muscles．
