吉林省长春市吉林大学附属中学2020年九年级中考英语一模试卷
Two years ago, I watched the film Everest, in which adventurers get stuck on the mountain during a snow storm. I immediately knew I had to start climbing. It's not the reaction most people have to that film; maybe I just needed more adventure in my life. But six months later, I climbed my first mountain, Mount Whitney, in California-North America's highest peak (顶峰).
In the summer of 2017, I decided to climb the highest peak in every European country. Growing up in Sweden, I was encouraged by my father to be outdoors all the time, but I wasn't a serious adventurer. I wanted to see if someone ordinary like me could climb mountains.
I didn't do any preparation for the first mountain in Europe, which was Mount Elbrus in Russia. It was exhausting, but I thought I would get fit climbing the rest, and I did.
Climbing mountains is an experience that is hard to put into words. You are in a beautiful environment and, when your each the top, you feel incredible (不可思议的). But you also have to climb down, which is when most accidents happen. I don't climb mountains that I am not ready for, but each one I climb takes me to the next step
I wanted to end the project at home, on Sweden's highest peak (2,097m) .It has two peaks: the north is rocky, and the south is icy. So alongside my camera assistant, I climbed both while wearing a superhero suit. It didn't feel as special as I'd hoped when I reached the top, but when I posted on Inst gram, people started congratulating me, I felt proud.
In total, I spent about €50,000 (378,240yuan), which is double what I had planned, but I eventually climbed 61 mountains in Europe.
You have to work on your weak sides while climbing. I don't like not being in control, but you can not control anything on a mountain. It's made me a better person. When you're on a mountain for hours alone with your thoughts, it's like meditation (冥想). It makes you so much stronger, physically, and mentally.
My goal now is always to have a mountain in my calendar. One day I will climb Mount Qomolangma (known as Everest by the West) when I'm ready for it.

How to color Easter Eggs (复活蛋)? Easter egg hunting is the most popular activity during the Easter holiday. It is enjoyed by both children and adults as they search for hidden eggs in gardens and parks. A fun and creative preparation activity for the whole family is coloring Easter eggs at home. Here is how: |
Step 1: Boil the eggs.
Put the eggs in a pot of water. Make sure the water covers the eggs. Heat the water until it boils. Cover the pot and take it off the heat. Keep the eggs in the hot water for about 10 minutes and then take them out. Cool the eggs in an ice bath. |
Step 2:Prepare the dyes (染料) Find a bowl that is large enough to hold the eggs. In this bowl, put in 0.5 cups of boiling water, 10 drops of food coloring for each egg and a little white vinegar (醋). Adding more drops of food coloring will result in a stronger color and the vinegar helps make the colors brighter! |
Step 3: Color the eggs. Put the eggs in the bowl and keep them fully in the water at least minutes. Turn them from time to time to make sure all sides get dyed. The longer you leave them in the dyes, the darker the color will be. |
Step 4: Dry the eggs. Place the eggs on paper to allow them to fully dry. If you plan to cat the eggs, keep them in the fridge. Don't leave them out of the fridge for more than 2 hours. |
