    Elizabeth got out of bed and dressed. She ate here favorite breakfast of scrambled eggs, toast, and juice. Her mother gave her a kiss before opening the front door and wishing her daughter a good day.

Elizabeth, carefully tapping along, made her way down the sidewalk to her best friend Kate's front door. Elizabeth used to attend a school for the blind. Today she was joining Kate at Washington Carver Elementary. "Here comes my brother," Elizabeth said. Kate looked around but saw no one. Then, suddenly, John came around the next corner on his skateboard. "How did you know John was coming?" Kate asked.

"From the sound of the wheels on his board," replied Elizabeth. "I'd know it anywhere. Kate listened again until she heard the joyful sound hidden among all the much louder noises on the street.

John rode along the sidewalk, moving from one side to the other and back again, until he came to a stop in front of Elizabeth and Kate. "Hey Sis," he said. "Good luck today!" "Thanks, John," said Elizabeth. "Any words of wisdom for me?" "Yeah," her brother replied, smiling. "Stay away from the sloppy joes in the cafeteria." After these words, John went away on his board.

Kate wondered if Elizabeth still remembered eating the sloppy joes before she lost her sight at the age of six, because of a high fever. Kate wondered if she felt sad. She decided to ask. "I used to think I couldn't do anything," explained Elizabeth. "But now I know that I can do most things. I just need a little more learning time." Kate could see the sunny smile on her friend's face.

Giving her friend a big hug, Kate said to herself, "      ⑹        ".

Answer the questions.

    I've always wanted to try rock climbing, but never had the time or money for it. But I've discovered a way to experience the thrill(兴奋,紧张)of climbing rock, without climbing real rock. Indoor climbing is an easy and exciting way to get a taste of rock climbing. And it is also much cheaper and safer!Indoor climbers don't climb on real rock, but on a plastic wall. You can probably find a climbing wall near you. Many gyms, schools and camps have one.

    You can climb indoors at any time of the year, no matter how the weather is. It is usually not expensive. Most gyms provide the equipment you need. The convenience of indoor climbing is one reason why it has become so popular. But the main reason people climb is for the rush(刺激感)they get. When I stand at the foot of the wall and look up. I'm always scared, But once I start climbing, fear changes to determination. With my heart pounding(怦怦地跳), I reach the top and look down. I can't stop grinning(咧嘴笑). I did it!

    Indoor climbing is a great workout. Climbing uses muscles that are hard to exercise, especially those in the shoulders, arms, chest and back. Many people say climbing makes exercise fun. Most gyms have several climbing walls with various degrees of difficulty. The easier ones are like climbing a ladder. The difficult ones bulge out(凸出)in places so that climbers must sometimes climb parallel(平行的)with the floor.

    Although gym climbing is easier and safer than real rock climbing, you should still be careful. Always climb with a partner. As you climb, your partner pulls your climbing rope through something called a belay device(绳索控制器). The belay catches you if you slip. But make sure your partner know how to use this equipment. And if you are a first-time climber, get some instruction before you begin.
