1. Situated in the east of Shaanxi Province, 120 kilometers away from Xi’an, Mount Hua is the highest of China’s five great mountains. And it’s well-known as the most dangerous mountain in China. Having made reservations at a simple hotel on the West Peak ahead of time, my brother and I determined to spend a night in the mountain last week.
We went through the east entrance. Our plan was to climb, on foot and with hands, up to the West Peak, then take the cable car (缆车) down the next day.
We started the climb in the early afternoon. The path consists of many stone steps with rough chain link handrails (扶手) in the narrowest and steepest areas. Physically, it is more like climbing the narrow steps of a skyscraper than trails. The most dangerous 100-metre-long path is called “Plank Road in the Sky”. We had never seen that steep cliff. Most climbers were frightened to tremble. Holding the chains tightly, we didn’t dare to look downward, and had a very difficult time
Tired but excited, we reached the West Peak before 6 p.m. and rested at the hotel. After dinner, we spent some time talking with our guides, and picked up some interesting local stories. That night we watched the sky become spectacular with thousands of stars. This was the clearest sky that we had seen in our lives. The fresh air at Mount Hua was a treat!
Next my brother and I made sleep a priority. We did happen to wake up a bit before sunrise. At about 5, an incredibly splendid rising sun unfolded before our eyes. That scene, as well as the terrifying climbing, did leave an everlasting impression on us.

1. I was born without hands and feet. It is a rare condition. Living with that misfortune has made me who I am today.
My parents helped me develop tools to overcome my challenges. When I was two, my dad decided that my family would stop helping me eat. He knew that one day I’d live on my own, so I’d have to look after myself. I learned t o eat with a spoon, and then with a knife and fork. It gave me a huge sense of achievement.
My darkest moment came when I was 10. My family had moved from Indiana to Georgia. In Indiana, friends treated me as normal. But in Georgia, it was
different. I fel t very aware of my disability. I worried I’d have to live at home forever. I felt hopeless about the future.
My world changed when I got into sports. I started playing football. Everything came together when I made my first tackle (抢断球) at age 11. It was my first real achievement.
Everyone I played against was able-bodied. At first, I struggled. But I threw everything I had into learning to be the best player. I turned my lack of height into a weapon.
Then I decided to start wrestling (摔跤). I lost 35 games, but then I had a breakthrough. I had an amazing coach who helped me invent moves that took advantage of my strength. My different body type was a psychological advantage-opponents (对手) didn’t know how to handle it. I eventually finished 12th in the103-pound weight class in the championships.
I keep going in the face of difficulties. Instead of thinking about the final goal, I focus on the near future. When I’m climbing a mountain, I’m down on all fours looking at the ground. It’s not going to do me any goo d to look up at the top.
I just figure out how to do the best I can with the next few feet in front of me.【小题13】(2分)

1. When Tonee Carter sits in front of a piano, his fingers take on a life of their own, dancing across the keys as he smiles, closes his eyes, and sinks into a melody.
Carter, 66, isn’t famous, but he does perform for an international audience nearly every day at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Travelers lucky enough to hear him often find themselves attracted by his music. That’s what happened to Carlos Whittaker, a motivational speaker who was traveling home to Tennessee. “As I was walking through the hall, I heard someone playing the piano,” Whittaker, 46, told CNN.
While listening to the music that seemed to effortlessly flow from Carter’s fingertips, Whittaker, the influencer on social media also took videos of the musician and shared them with his more than 200,000 followers. And an idea hit Whittaker. “Suddenly I was like, what would happen if I asked my followers if we could give him the biggest tip he’s ever gotten,” he said. “As of this conversation, we had raised $61,000.”
Carter was just 6 years old when his father, also a pianist, took him to a Ray Charles concert. But Carter hasn’t had the easiest life. In fact, C arter has had serious kidney disease since 2008. “I thought he was kidding. I just couldn’t believe it,” Cater told CNN. “This is the kind of thing I do. I love giving and donating and helping people, but I never expected someone to do it for me.”
Whittaker has used his social media platform to raise funds for others in the past. Earlier this month, he and his followers raised $230,000 for Brooklyn To Alaska, a non-profit organization that sends urban teenagers on an adventure to Alaska.
Carter plans to use the money to help people the way Whittaker has helped him. “That $61,000 is not mine. It’s the money that’s going to go to others,” Carter
said. “There is only one way to say thank you, because words aren’t enough. And that is to pay this forward.

Whittaker灵机一动。

“突然间，我想，如果我问我的粉丝，假如我们给他一笔他得到过的最多的小费，会发生什么呢？”他说。

1. In the summer of 1965, Tété-Michel Kpomassie became the first African to explore Greenland. He was 24 on the day that he stepped onto the port at Qagortoq, on Greenland’s southern coast. But his arctic journey had actually begun some seven years earlier.
Kpomassie’s amazing life story starts with a bit of chance and a book. He was
a teenager when he bought a book about Greenland in Togo. Immediately, the
topic attracted him, and he knew that he must go there.
He traveled along the west coast of Africa, eventually crossing into Europe.
There, he stayed for some time before leaving for Greenland. “I took my time to step out,” he recalled. “When I arrived, everyone stopped talking; all were staring.
They didn’t know if I was a real person or wea ring a mask. Children hid behind their mothers. Some cried, believing I was a spirit from the mountains.”
Kpomassie found his true home in Greenland’s northern reaches, where the Inuit culture that he’d read in a book as a boy was very much alive. Over the next 18 months, Greenland’s first African learned to ski, ice fish and hunt, and adapted himself quickly to the new environment.
He returned to Togo in late 1966 and adapted the journal he’d kept into a book. Kpomassie then went on to give lectures about his experience in halls and classrooms throughout Africa and Europe. And he settled down in Paris and raised a family, returning to Greenland on three occasions in that time. His book An Africa in Greenland was first published in France and has since been translated into eight languages.
“All the while I knew where I ultimately needed to end up,” he said. Now approaching 81 years old, Kpomassie is packing up his apartment and heading back to northern Greenland, where he intends to live out his final years.
【小题21】(2分)

B. In the 1950s.
C. In the 1960s.

1. Music is a great connector; it brings people happiness. That’s why during
the 2020 lockdowns (封闭) in the UK, when work for musicians dried up, singer Chloe Edwards-Wood came up with the idea of singing for people who were
isolated (隔离) and struggling. That’s where Give a Song comes in.
Today, after 480 musical visits to over 8,000 people who need to isolate or live in care homes, the organisation is still spreading wellbeing and happiness.
At first, Edwards-Wood posted on Facebook about her idea and 15 people reached out to her including a leader from the Goldsmith Community Centre in Lewisham. She teamed up with the Goldsmith and Give a Song became a reality.
The first time Edwards-Wood performed on a stranger’s doorstep, she did so
soon as we started that first song, the barriers (障碍) came down. I remember thinking: ‘This is it! It works!’. The person loved it and people stopped to watch and listen. ”
Visits are organised through an online form. Usually 2-4 musicians go to the person’s home to perform a few songs with instruments. The visits usually last 15 minutes.
Edwards-Wood said, “I feel like music brings people together in some way, and it’s a way of communicating,” she said. “If you don’t have a common ground to have a conversation with someone, there’s always a song that can do it for
you. ”
