He took up parachuting, wrestling and scuba diving. He competed in long-distance biking, marathons and skiing. His favorite sport, thought, is mountaineering. As a young man, Erik started to climb mountains. He reached the summit of Mount McKinley in 1995 and then climbed the dangerous 1000-metre rock wall of EI Capitan.

The title suits him. And he loves it.Arthur Bonnet works with the Palos Verdes blue butterfly (蝴蝶), once thought to have died out. Today the butterfly is coming back thanks to him. But years ago if youd told him this was what hed be doing someday, he would have laughed, “Youre crazy.” As a boy, he used to be a little tough guy on the streets. At age thirteen, he was caught by police for stealing. At eighteen, he landed in prison for shooting a man.I knew it had hurt my mom, Bonnet said after he got out of prison. So I told myself I would not put my mom through that pain again.One day he met Professor Mattoni, who was working to rebuild the habitat (栖息地) for an endangered butterfly called El Segundo blue.I saw the sign Butterfly Habitat and asked, How can you have a habitat when the butterflies can just fly away？” Bonner recalls. Dr. Mattoni laughed and handed me a magnifying glass (放大镜), Look at the leaves. I could see all these caterpillars (蝴蝶的幼虫) on the plant. Dr. Mattoni explained, Without the plant, there are no butterflies.”Weeks later, Bonner received a call from Dr. Mattoni, who told him there was a butterfly that needed help. That was how he met the Palos Verdes blue. Since then hes been working for four years to help bring the butterfly back. He grows astragalus（紫云英）, the only plant the butterfly eats. He collects butterflies and brings them into a lab to lay eggs. Then he puts new butterflies into the habitat.The butterflys population, once almost zero, is now up to 900. For their work, Bonner and Dr. Mattoni received lots of awards. But for Bonner, he earned something more: he turned his life around.For six years now Bonner has kept his promise to stay out of prison. While hes bringing back the Palos Verdes blue, the butterfly has helped bring him back, too.60.

But go in winter or all youll find is a pool of water, because the hotel melts every spring!The man who runs the ARTic Hall Hotel is Nils Yngve Bergqvist. He built his first ice building for an art exhibition in 1991 and he designed the present hotel over 200 square meters - himself. It took workmen about two moths to pile 1,000 tons of snow onto a wooden base. As the weather got colder, the snow froze and then they removed the base. The whole building and everything in it are made of snow -except for the wooden front door. Theres a theatre which Nils uses for a jazz club, a radio station an a large ice bar. As you can imagine, hot drinks are popular with guests! The rooms have no doors; theres no furniture, no heating and everyone sleeps on ice beds. But the 800 people who stayed at the hotel this winter seemed to like it. If you want to stay in one of the ten ice rooms, it will cost you about30 a night. You will receive a survival certificate from the manager.When the winters over, Nils holds his annual contest to predict the day that the hotel will fall. The person that guessed the day correctly last year received a large painting from an ARTic Hall exhibition. Nils ice hotel is becoming world-famous and he loves his work. Hes already excited about his next project - an ice hotel that will have more complicated architectural features and，he says, will be bigger an better.64.

Winter exhibitionD. Cold comfortDSelf-esteem(自尊心)is all about how much we feel valued, loved, accepted, and thought well of by others and how much we value, love, and accept ourselves. People with healthy self-esteem are able to do better in school and find it easier to make friends. They tend to have better relationships with others, feel happier, find it easier to deal with mistakes and failures, and are more likely to stick to something until they succeed. People with low self-esteem may feel as if no one will like them or accept them or that they cant do well in anything.The following ways may help you improve your self-esteem.Try to stop thinking negative thoughts about yourself. If youre used to focusing on your shortcomings, start thinking about positive aspects of yourself that outweigh them . It is good to aim high, but your goals for yourself should be within reach. Thats why you should set practical goals and never expect the impossible. Mistakes are part of learning, so view mistakes as learning opportunities. Accept that you make mistakes because everyone does. Also, you should recognize what you cant. If you realize that youre unhappy with something about yourself that you can change, start today. If its something you cant change (like your height), start to work toward loving yourself the way you are. Feeling like youre making a difference and that your help is valued can do wonders to improve your self-esteem. So dont hesitate to make a contribution. You can lend a hand to a classmate whos having trouble, help clean up our neighborhood, or volunteer to do some other things.Self-esteem plays a role in almost everything you do.
