In 1990, Ed Viesturs started for the top of Mount Everest (29,029 feet) from a high camp at 27,000 feet. He planned to climb it without oygen tan, something only a few climbers had managed t o do. He’d failed twice, once getting with 300 feet of the top before turning bac.
He left his high camp at 1 a.m., using a headlamp to find his way in the dar. He’d already been on the mountain for two months, receiving endurance and strength training in preparation for the Everest climb. He’d also lived through terrible cold, strong winds, and separation from friends and family.
“The common practice was to use oygen when climbing, as it, in fact, lowers the altitude (海拔) of the mountain by several thousan d feet,” says Viesturs. “If I couldn’t climb Everest without oygen tan, I wouldn’t climb it.”
“You have to be physically fit,” he says. “But the mental (精神的) part is big. It’s so hard to eep going above 20,000 feet.”
While maing that final climb on Everest, he breathed 15 times for every step. He would tell himself to first reach the roc 100 yards ahead. Then he’d find another roc, then another. Finally he stood on the top, with the whole world at his feet. “It was one of those dream-come-true moments,” Vie sturs says.
Today, Viesturs maes his living in part as a speaer, taling about his climb of Everest and of the world’s 13 other highest mountain, all without oygen. He helps people find the strength to overcome their difficulties.
Finally, in his words, “Th e art of mountaineering is nowing when to go, when to stay, and when to turn bac. We should go step when woring toward our dreams. There are no shortcuts to the top.”
38. What does the article mainly tal about?
A. Viesturs’ first successful climb of Mount Everest.
B. Viesturs’ physical preparation for climbing Everest.
C. The difficulties that Viesturs has met in his life.
D. The lessons that Viesturs can share with others.
39. What do we now about Ed Viesturs?
A. As soon as he reached Mount Everest, he set out for Everest climb.
B. He’s been to the top of the world’s 14 highest mountain without oygen.
C. Well prepared, he had no difficulty climbing the top of Mount Everest .
D. So far, he is the only one to have reached the top of Mount Everest without oygen.
40. The first “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to (指的是) __________.
A. being physical fit
B. climbing Everest
C. using oygen when climbing
D. climbing without oygen
41. Which sentence should go in the empty bo in the last paragraph?
A. I lie being near the top of a mountain.
B. Life is lie climbing a mountain.
C. You never climb the mountain twice.
D. Over every mountain there is a path.

Parents of very young children now this You catch your child in the act of stealing the cooie —the evidence of candy written on his or her face. However, you get a wide-eyed denial “I didn’t do it!”
Learning to tell the truth, even at the ris of punishment, is an important part of moral (道德) development, and new research suggests it can tae seven or more years for ids to get there.
Early 2017 Professor Craig E. Smith published a study. He and his wormates chose 48 children between four and nine years of
age. They told the ids a story about a boy or girl doing something wrong, such as taing a classmate’s toy or candy, and the n either lying about the wrongdoing to a parent or confessing (承认) it. In each case, they ased the children, How would the child feel? How would the mother feel?
The children’s answers were generally divided according to age, which is in agreement with the stolen candy, lying and getting unpunished. They imagined the parent in the study would be angry with the child who confessed. However, the seven-to-nine-year-olds were more liely (可能的) to thin the child would feel better confessing the crime and that the parent would have positive (积极的) feelings towards a confessor.
Smith says, “ids of all ages who epect that a parent would feel happy about a child’s confession are more liely to tell the truth rather than lie. Reward the honesty even if you feel you must punish the wrong action.” He adds, what parents can learn from these studies is to listen calmly without getting angry right away when their child confesses.
42. What does the underlined word “denial” in Paragraph
1 mean?
A. 委屈
B. 责备
C. 否认
D. 拒绝
43. Paragraph 2 mainly tell us _________.
A. ids can’t tell “right” from “wrong”
B.it taes time for ids to learn to tell the truth
C. it’s wrong to punish ids for telling the truth
D. all the ids are willing to confess to a bad act
44. What did Smith and his wormates find in their study?
A. Older ids are more liely than younger children to confess to a bad act.
B. Younger children are more liely than older ids to confess to a bad act.
C. The four-to-five-year-olds would feel better confessing the crime
D. The seven-to-nine-year-olds thought parents would be angry with their confessions.
45. According to Professor Smith, what can parents learn from these studies?
A. Parents should at once punish the children who lied.
B. Parents should tell children the wrongness of lying.
C. Parents should never get angry after their children’s confessions.
D. Parents should show positive feeling about their children’s confessions.

Many people do not now what to do in face of a decision, bi g or small. Most decisions aren’t life-changers. But often, the decision isn’t between this or that; it’s between acting or not. If this challenges you, here are some tips.
Jog or ride a bie to nowhere. Just start moving in hopes of leaving the familiar. Wal down every street or path you can find until you lose your way. Then, see where you end up. Remember what it felt lie to wonder where you were going? Try to lose yourself more often. It’ll mae you better at maing a decision.
Sit outside without any technology for an hour. Let yourself get bored. Can you hear the
birds singing? The wind blowing? Yourself breathing? Try to do this once a wee, then every other day, then every day. One of the reasons we find it hard to mae better decisions is that we eep getting attracted to new things. A brea from the noise will lead you to the decision you need to mae.
Do something that scares you. People who have trouble maing decisions fear mistaes. Tell someone you love them. Laugh out loud in a public place. Give a speech to a stranger. And when you do this, remember how you feel When you’re sacred by a risy situation the net time, tell yourself that you didn’t lie. And try to trust the process in the future.
Some of these things may seem silly, but the more you do
them, the more you’ll control yourself. It doesn’t matter where you’re going. Just go. Once you start moving, you can always change direction.
