For this reason, climbing has been a very 21 thing for me since I was a kid.Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations and 22 them I learned a lot. In fact, without mountaineering, Dad couldnt have had enough time to 23 with me because he was very 24 himself.

It influences health, intelligence (智力) andfeelings. In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart troubleand other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot atsome times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March. The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ of agroup of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10%lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (Julyand August).Weather also has a strong influence on peoples feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people.They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people mayhave a hard time in hot summer. At about 18, people become stronger. Low air pressure may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops onlow-pressure days. People feel best at a temperature of about 18.

Weather Influences Health, Intelligence and FeelingsB I was in a strange city and I didnt know the city at all. And whats more, I could not speak a word of the language. After having spent my first day in the town-center, I decided to lose my way on my second day, since I was sure that this was a better way of getting to know the strange city. I got on the first bus in the morning, rode on it for several stops, then got off and walked on. The first two hours passed happily enough. Then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived and even that was pronounced badly. I stopped to ask a friendly-looking newspaper-seller. He smiled and handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. Then I met a policeman. I asked him atonce. The policeman listened to me carefully, smiled and took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I thanked him politely and began walking on. About an hour passed and I found that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields could be seen on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside. The only thing left for me to do was to find the nearest bus station.（ ）41.

My family did not know how long he would stay in the world. I knew I had to get to the hospital to tell him how much I loved him. As I drove to the hospital, I pictured him before I got to tell him how much he meant to me. Trying to fight back the tears, I wanted to stay calm when I saw him.When I got to the hospital, I hurriedly looked for his hospital room. I found him in a semi-conscious state(半清醒状态). On my knees, I said softly, “Hello, Grandpa.”Still feeling shy, I decided not to leave his bedside without letting him know. While I asked about how he was, he told me, “Ill be fine, Henry.” although we both knewthat wasnt true. Then he asked me with a smile how I was doing.Hearing what mygrandpa said, I was much moved. I made the decision that I had to show my gratitude for him. As I found all the courage(勇气) I had, I held his hand tightly. Icried out, “Grandpa, I just want to let you know how much I love you. I hope you already know that yet I just want to make sure.” By this time, the tears were rolling down my face. All those years of love that I had shut and not let him know, became free. Smiling, he said, “I know. Thank you for telling me that.” “All I have on this planet is my family and my love for them. If there is anything I could ask of you, I want you to be good to your family: your mother, your father, and your brother. Thats all I want of you.”From then on, I began telling people how much I loved them, cared for them, and respected them. I get in touch with, for example, my babysitter, my barber, to show my appreciation. I go down into the city once a week and serve pizza to the homeless. I wake up every morning and list everything Im thankful to in my life.（ ）46. The author got the news of Grandpas illness _.A. in the morningB. at noonC. in the eveningD. at midnight（ ）47.

My parents worked, and I spent a lot of time at my grandparents home. While my grandmother cleaned the house and cooked, my grandfather played with me. I was six when my grandfather died. A few months before he died, he gave me a beautiful blue and white blanket (毯子). I loved the blanket very much because it made me think of my grandfather. But after a few years, the blanket didnt look very good. It had holes and was dirty. I didnt want to throw the blanket away, so my mother made the blanket into a book bag. I was proud of the book bag, and I used it to carry my books to school every day for a few years. Then the book bag was broken. I begged my mother to make something out of it. She made it into a pencil-box. After a few months, the pencil-box was broken, too. By then I could sew (缝), and I made the pencil-box into a small wallet. I used it for three years, but one day I lost it. I felt sad. My friends and family said, “Forget about it, Paul. You cant make something out of nothing.”I thought about it for a while.
