Every year hundreds of people try to climb the world's highest mountain or walk through rainforests(雨林). Let's take a look at two of the 21st century's(世纪的) greatest adventurers(冒险家).

    A mountain climber

    Do you know that more than 4，000 people have climbed Mount Everest? Gerlinde is one of them. She is one of the world's greatest climbers and has climbed all the mountains over 8，000 meters in the world. It's difficult to climb mountains in cold weather, but Gerlinde loves it. She started climbing the mountains near her home as a teenager. When she left school, she became a nurse but always went climbing in her free time.

    An Amazon adventurer

    Ed Stafford is the first person to walk along the Amazon River from the mountains of Peru to the mouth of the river in Brazil. His journey took two years and four months. There are many dangerous animals in the rainforest. But Ed was lucky and he was only bitten(咬) by small insects(昆虫). On his trip, Ed had to look for fruit or catch fish each morning. Sometimes food was hard to find and Ed was often tired and hungry. So he used a radio to ask the people of the rainforest for food and help.

    Some boys like wearing the same kinds of clothes as girls, and some of them have long hair. So sometimes it's difficult to tell whether（是否）they are boys or girls. Today is Sunday. I have a walk with my grandmother in the park. My grandmother is 80 years old and she can't see well. After some time, my grandmother is tired（疲倦的）, so she sits down on a chair. There is another person sitting on the chair, too.

    "Hello," my grandmother says to the person with long hair next to her. "Can you see the person with long hair under the big tree? Is it a boy or a girl? "

    "Which（哪一个） one?" asks the person.

    "The one eating under the big tree," says my grandmother.

    "The boy?" says the person. "He's my brother Mark."

    "Oh," says my grandmother, "I don't know you are his sister."

    "No, I'm not his sister. I'm his brother."

In recent years，Chinese traditional clothes have become more and more popular among young people.

It's a fine Saturday. Emily and her mother want to go to the Great Wall. They are taking the 1 to get there now. An old man is on the bus. He has no seat (座位) to sit in. Emily asks him to sit in her seat. The old man 2 Emily very much. There are two foreigners (外国人) on the bus. They want to go to the Great Wall, too. But they can't 3 Chinese. So Emily talks with them in English. She says that Beijing is a big city 4 a long history. Emily also tells some stories about the Great Wall to them. They think these stories are so 5 that they want to visit other places of interest in China. 

We were silently waiting on the platform（站台） in the late afternoon.There he was，my1 grandfather with his grey hair and there I was，a teenage girl in my jeans and T﹣shirt.I was wondering how I was going to get through the next two days.Why did I agree to be with my strange grandpa on the two days' train ride from our city to2 ？

No one else wanted to be his partner along3 way since my grandfather refused to take a plane.Unlike him，I loved to fly because I wanted to get to the destinations（目的地） as4 as possible.No matter how much he 5 about the quickness of flying，my grandfather refused to book a flight，saying， "It is not just about time.It's the experience of getting there. "

With my first step onto the train，the journey was already different from 6 .The train was modern and filled with friendly travelers.We seated 7 in the dining car，where we could enjoy food and drinks while we were watching the beauty of nature passing by.Instead of listening to my own music，I listened to my grandfather talking 8 my family history that I had never had the time or patience to learn about before.For the first time I felt I 9 him.I was thankful for our time together on the train.

In this rapidly changing world，we often miss important moments.It is necessary to slow down10 listen to elders who offer a piece of their history or experience and share their feelings.Life isn't just about the destination.It's about the journey.

When I was a little girl, I was very shy. I used to be afraid of {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (speak) in public, so I always kept quiet. I never answered teachers' questions. I just listened to them {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(quiet). 

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}, one day, things changed a lot. I listened to my Chinese teacher Ms. Song very carefully {#blank#}4{#/blank#} usual. Suddenly, she asked the whole class {#blank#}5{#/blank#} question which was quite easy. Ms. Song looked around, and then her eyes were on me. She asked me {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(answer) it. I stood up slowly and was {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(able) to say a word. "Come on! Believe in {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(you). You are the best!" said Ms. Song. I looked at Ms. Song in the eyes, and I could feel her encouragements. I {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(take) courage(勇气) from it and answered the question correctly. Ms. Song gave me a big smile and so did my {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(classmate). From then on, I started to answer the teachers' questions in class. 

Since then, whenever I meet challenges, I always say to myself, "You're the best. "
