Church towers, seaside cliffs, rock faces, ice mountains, anything –“If it’s there,”he used to say, “thenI want to climb it.” So the news of his marriage gave me a surprise. I’d never known him to take much interest in girls. Well, well, Peter was a married man! I couldn’t get over it. I wondered whether his wife would try to stop some of the risky adventures.She was French perhaps—from that place where he usually spent his holidays. Chamonis, wasn’t it? From Chamonis he’d climbed Mont Blanc on his seventeenth birthday, and one of the Aifuiilles the day after! That was it, then, she was French from a family, most of whom like climbing. No doubt, no other explanation.A month later I met them both in town. Anna surprised me because she was English. She was a dancer in the theatre. “Never climbed more than six steps in my life,”she told me, “Peter has his interest, and “I’ve got mine. No problems.”“None at all,” Peter said, smiling.“Where did you spend your honeymoon?”“I flew to New York to see the drake Dancers on Broadway. A wonderful show!”Peter said, “I didn’t want to miss the good weather. So I went to Switzerland and climbed the north face of the Eiger with Allen Dunlop. Great fun, the Eiger. Grand place for a honeymoon! I’ll show you the photos we took one day.1.“Peter was mad on mountains” means ________.A. he disliked climbing mountainsB. he was angry on mountainsC. he lost his senses on mountainsD. he enjoyed climbing mountains verymuch.2. “The risky adventures” means _______.A. expensive adventuresB. dangerous adventuresC. terrible adventuresD. unkind adventures3. According to the passage, after Peter’s marriage _______.A. he would stop mountain climbing because his wife didn’t like itB. his wife would stop him from mountain climbingC. he himself would give up his loveD.

Peter and Anna’s marriage is probably ______.A. a failure because neither of them loved the other’s loveB. happy because each of them respected the other’s loveC. painful because either of them would do their own thingD. a mistake because either of them wouldn’t care the other’s loveBIf you go into the woods with your friends, stay with them. If you don’t, you may get lost. If you do get lost, this is what you should do.Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends—let them find you. There is another way to help your friends or other nearby people to find you. Give them a signal by shouting or whistling three times. Stop shouting and whistling. Any signal given three times is a call for help. Keep on shouting or whistling, always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noisesfor fun. They will let you know that they have heard your signal. They will give two shouts, two whistles or two gun shots. When a signal is given twice, it is an answer to a call for help.If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house—cover up the holes with branches with lots of leaves, and a soft bed with leaves and grass.What should you do if you need drinking water? You would have to leave your little house to look for a river. Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop as you walk so that you can find your way back.The most important thing to do when you are lost is to stay at one place.6.

What to do when lost in woodsCHiking is not only one of the best forms of physical exercise, but it is also one of the best forms of relaxation. It is good for ages and especially good as a family and group activity.Since there are so many different kinds of hiking, it is not possible to give any general rules to follow. Short and frequent hikes, needing no planning or special equipment, are enjoyed by most people.·Keep in shape by walking at a fast pace for at least 15 minutes every day. Climbing stairs instead of using a lift and running not too far are also good ways to keep in shape.·On any hike nothing is more important than good, comfortable shoes.·The things you take might include matches in a waterproof box, a knife, a compass,a map, first aid items and flashlight.·Cameras may be taken, but don’t load with too much.·On longer hikes keep a comfortable, steady pace and take rest stops often.·Drink only safe water. If in doubt, boil the water.·Don’t go along the busy roads. When you have to use a road, keep as far over the left as possible.·Leave word at home or some other place as to where you are going and when you plan to return.·On almost any hike, a map is a good idea. If going into a strange place, a detailed map is most helpful.·Take along a field guide on flowers, birds, rocks or other subjects depending upon your interests. This can add greatly to the enjoyment and educational value of your hike.10.
