It may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardsh

19、ip, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their relaxation.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no manmade rules, as there are for such games as golf and football

20、. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore (忽略), but it is this freedom from manmade rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering with other more famili

21、ar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamw

26、ll third of our lives waiting.But where are we doing all of this waiting,and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours?To understand the issue, lets take a look at three types ofwaits.The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait.It is without doubt the most annoying of all.Take

27、filling up the kitchen sink as an example.There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until its full.During these waits,the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks.Th

28、is kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless.A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait.This one requires a bit of discipline. Properly preparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait.Directions are very specific. Bring three cups of water to boil,add mix,simmer(炖）three minu

29、tes,remove from heat,let stand five minutes.I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly. After all,Forced Waiting requires patience.Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait.This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary.

30、Unlike the Forced Wait,which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen.Turning ones life into a waiting game requires faith and hope,and is strictly for the optimists among us.On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on sou

31、p mixes,but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it.As long as one doesnt come to rely on it,wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody.We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting.The next time youre standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while

33、he Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait?A.The Forced Wait requires some self-control.B.The Forced Wait makes people passive.C.The Watched-Pot Wait needs directions.D.The Watched-Pot Wait engages body and brain.30.What can we learn about the Lucky-Break Wait?A.It is less voluntary than the Forced Wai

34、t.B.It doesnt always bring the desired result.C.It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait.D. It doesnt give people faith and hope.31.The author supports his view by.A.exploring various causes ofwaitsB.describing detailed processes ofwaitsC.analyzing different categories ofwaitsD.revealing frustrating

35、 consequences ofwaitsDFor the 17 years my life was very happy. Then the first sad thing happened. My mother became very ill, and soon she knew that she was dying. Just before she died, she asked Elizabeth and me to go to her room. She held our hands and said, “Victor and Elizabeth, my children, Im v
