mum pointed at a big chair by the door and i knew she wanted me to sit down. while i watched mouth open in surprise, mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. she walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop. she pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, mum nodded and said, very dirty floors.yes, im glad theyve finally decided to clean them, the nurse answered. she looked at mum strangely and said, but arent you working late?mum just pushed harder, each swipe (拖一下) of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. i watched until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to writing in the big book.after a long time, mum came back. her eyes were shining. she quickly put the mop back and took my hand. as we turned to go out of the door, mum bowed politely to the nurse and said, thank you.outside, mum told me, dagmar is fine. no fever. you saw her, mum?of course, i told her about the hospital rules, and she will

some do it just for fun. others compete.climbing takes strength, control and good balance. climbers have to pull themselves straight up the face of very high rocks or walls. so they have to be strong enough to carry their own weight. and climbers sometimes have to hold onto rocks by only their fingers or toes.there are several kinds of rock climbing. traditional rock climbing isnt done indoors. climbers wear ropes and tie equipment to the rocks as they climb many hundreds of meters up. they also connect their ropes to the equipment. if a climber slips, a rope can stop him from falling. sport climbing is similar. however, in it the protective equipment is placed in the rock all the time. there is also indoor climbing. rock walls made of wood have places for the climbers hands and feet.ice climbing is exactly as it sounds. people climb glaciers or frozen waterfalls instead of rocks. they use special equipment for the ice.and then there is bouldering-climbing rocks (巨石攀岩) between three and seven meters high. it is quicker and stronger climbing. many climbers like bouldering because they can use less equipment. climbers often need only special shoes and chalk (防滑粉). all climbers use chalk to keep their hands dry.most rocks have cracks and holes and parts that stick out. climbers use these for foot-holds and handholds. climbers use their legs to climb. they try not to pull themselves up with their hands or arms. arms and hands are for position and balance.people almost always climb in groups of two or more. climbing alone is very dangerous. expert rock climbers say only

us young horses raised his head, pricked his ears, and said, “there are the hunting dogs!” and immediately cantered off, followed by the rest of us to the upper part of the field, where we could look over the bushes and see several fields beyond. my mother and anoldriding horse of our masters were also standing near, and seemed to know all about it.“they have foundahare(野兔),” said my mother, “and if they come this way we shall see the hunt.”and soon the dogs were all tearing down the field of young wheat next to ours.inever heard sucha noise as they made. they did not bark, nor howl, nor whine, but kept ona “yo! yo! yo! o!” at the top of their voices. after them camea number of men on horseback, some of them in green coats, all galloping as fast as they could. theoldhorse snorted and looked eagerly after them, and we young horses wanted to be galloping with them, but they were soon away into the fields lower down; here it seemed as if they had come toastand; the dogs stopped barking, and ran about every way with their noses to the ground.“they have lost the scent(臭迹),” said theoldhorse “perhaps the hare will get off.”“what hare?”isaid. “idont know what hare; likely enough it may be one of our own hares out of the woods; any hare they can find will do for the dogs and men to run after,” andbeforelong the dogs began their “yo! yo! yo! o!” again, and back they came altogether at full speed, making straight for our grassland at the part where the high bank and fence overhang the stream.“now we shall see the hare,” said my mother; and just thenahare wild with fright rushed by and made for the woods. on came the dogs; they burst over the bank, leaped(跳跃) the stream, and came dashing across the field followed by the huntsmen. six or eight men leaped their horses clean over, close upon the dogs. the hare tried to get through the fence; itwastoo thick, and she turned sharp round to make for the road, but itwastoo late; the dogs were upon her with their wild cries; we heard one shriek, and thatwasthe end of her. one of the huntsmen rode up and whipped off the dogs, who would soon have torn her to pieces. he held her up by the leg torn and bleeding
