Section Introduction & Reading and Vocabulary-Comprehending 阅读理解AMost young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. It may be walking，cycling，swimming，or in winter，skating or skiing. It may be a game of some formsfootball，basketball，hockey，golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked up to with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship，and to take risks in high mountains？This astonishment is caused，probably，by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no manmade rules，as other games such as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore，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 familiar 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 teamwork.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skills year by year. A skier has probably past his best by the age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort，and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.【解题导语】文章主要介绍了登山这一运动。1What sports are popular
