13、 Alex Winter is a rock climber. He spoke to Craig Jackson from Out and About magazine.
Imagine hanging on a rock face, with nothing between you and the ground hundreds of metres below. For Alex Winter this is just another normal day. I called him at his home in Fresno, California.
Craig: When did you first become interested in rock climbing?
Alex: Well, Fresno’s not far from Yosemite National Park in California. That’s one of the best places for climbing in the world. Both my parents love rock climbing and I started learning the basics at a very early age.
Craig: What advice would you give people who want to start rock climbing?
Alex: The best way to learn how to climb is to do it. You can’t learn climbing just from books. Practice on easy low climbs first, until you know the right moves. You need a good teacher. For me, that was my parents. And always use good quality equipment（装备）. Your life depends on it. Probably the most important piece of equipment is the ropes. You really don’t want them to break!
Craig: Have you ever had any accident?
Alex: I’ve had a few falls, but the ropes have saved my life every time. If you lose your hold, the ropes are connected to the rock and they take your weight.
Craig: For you, what’s the best thing about rock climbing?
Alex: When I’m climbing I forget everything else in the world. The only thing that matters is my next move up the rock face.

14、The Internet influences the way we shop, how we communicate with each other, how we find answers to questions and much more. But for some time there have been concerns (担心) that the older people are being left behind because they are unable to use a computer.
However, this is changing and several charities and community groups now help older people to get online. Paul Robinson runs such charity, Seniors Online. Paul worked for an IT company before deciding to leave his wellpaid job and start the charity. As he explains, "I used to spend a few hours a week helping some older people use the Internet at the local library and I could see the difference it made to their lives. It can be quite lonely for the elderly when their children move away to find work and start a family of their own. Learning how to use email and receive photographs of their children and grandchildren was a wonderful experience for them. And when I saw what a big influence it had on their lives, I left my job and set up Seniors Online. We run training courses so that older people can enjoy the same chances as us."

One of Paul's students is 89-year-old Betty, who had never used a computer in her life before she joined one of the classes. That was six months ago and Betty has now completed the courseand received her "graduation" certificate (证书).

Using a computer is a bit scary (吓人的) tobegin with because you think you'll do something terrible if you press the wrong key.

16、 Toby was a 13-year-old boy. He studied in a middle school in Paris. He was quite a clever boy and was good at almost everything. However, he had a problem. He had a fear (恐惧) of heights. This problem made him unhappy for a long time. He talked to his father about it one day.

17、In a book called Magnificent Obsession, by Lloyd C．Douglas, a description is given of people helping others but doing it secretly. When difficult problems worried a person, friends nearby would meet to discuss possible solution without the person knowing their actions. When a solution was agreed upon, one or two of the friends would carry out the plan and solve the problem secretly, to the great delight of the worried person. The helpers would stand by privately, content with their success. No reward was given to the problem solvers, not even a sincere “thank you”, because they were never known.
This idea is popular today but in a different way. The phrase________is now used when one person helps another. However, the person helped may not be able to repay the person or group that helped them. So rather than return the favor to their helpers, they are supposed to help someone else in the future, which means they pay it forward. It is a sense of responsibility(责任) which makes us want to give back in equal measure to the one who has helpe
