Most young people enjoy physical activities, walking, cycling, football, or
mountaineering.
These who have a passion 61 climbing high and difficult mountains are often 62
with astonishment. Why are men and women 63 to suffer cold and hardship, and to
on high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between
mountaineering and other forms of activities 65 which men give their leisure.
There are no man-made rules, as there are for 66 games as golf and football. There
are, of course, rules of different kinds which it would be dangerous to 67 , but it is
this freedom from man-made rules 68 makes mountaineering attractive to many people.
Those who climb mountains are free to use their own 69 .
If we 70 mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one
big difference is 71 mountaineering is not a "team work". However, it is only our
misunderstanding. There are, in fact, no" matches" 72 "teams" of climbers, but when
climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may 73 , obviously,
there is teamwork.
A mountain climber knows that he may have to fight with natural 74 that are
stronger and more powerful than man. His sport requires high mental and 75 . qualities.

his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions 77 in their
early twenties. But it is not 78 for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest
mountains in the Alps. They may take more 79 than younger men, but they probably climb
with more skill and less 80 of effort, and they certainly experience equal

When two hands meet, we pass on something of ourselves. After 61 to Mark Twain, Helen—who

In some indefinable way, Twain had 63 his charm to Keller.
And that’s probably been true of the handshake all the back to its earliest days, 65

i.e., their blood. 74 , the handshake suggested trust.
That 75 of trust has survived to this day. People in business often 76 agreements simply

For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must
read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention
newspapers and magazines. a never-ending flood of words. In 61 a job or advancing in
one, the ability to read and comprehend 62 can mean the difference between success and
failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 63 readers. Most of us develop
poor reading at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency 65 in
the actual stuff of language itself ---- words. Taken individually, words have 66
meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs 67 ,
however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word
at a time, often regressing to 68 words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look
back over 69 you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which
70 down the speed of reading is vocalization--sounding each word either orally or mentally
as 71 reads.
To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an 72 ,
which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a
slightly faster rate 73 the reader finds comfortable, in order to "stretch" him. The
accelerator forces the reader to read fast. 74 word-by-word reading, regression and sub
vocalization practically impossible. At first 75 is sacrificed for speed. But when you
learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, 76 your comprehension
will improve. Many people have found 77 reading skill drastically improved after some
training. 78 Charlie Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a

Business and government leaders consider the inflation (通货膨胀) rate to be an
important general indicator. Inflation is a period of increased 61 that cause rapid
rises in prices. 62 your money buys fewer goods so that you get 63 for the same
amount of money as before, inflation is the problem. There is a general rise the
price of goods and services. Your money buys less. Sometimes people describe inflation as a
(n) 65 when “a dollar is not worth a dollar anymore”.
Inflation is a problem for all consumers. People who live on a fixed income are hurt
the 66 . Retired people, for instance, cannot 67 on an increase in income as
prices rise. Elderly people who do not work face serious problems in stretching their
incomes to 68 their needs in time of inflation. Retirement income 69 any fixed
income usually does not rise as fast as prices. Many retired people must cut their spending
to 70 rising prices. In many cases they must stop 71 some necessary items, such as
food and clothing. Even 72 working people whose incomes are going up, inflation can be
a problem. The 73 of living goes up, too. People who work must have even more money to
keep up their standard of living. Just buying the things they need costs more. When incomes
do not keep 74 with rising prices, the standard of living goes down. People may be
earning the same amount of money, but they are not living 75 because they are not able
to buy as many goods and services.
Government units gather information about prices in our economy and publish it as price
indexes 76 the rate of change can be determined. A price index measures changes in
prices using the price for a 77 year as the base. The base price is set 78 100,
and the other prices are reported as a 79 of the base price. A price index makes 80
possible to compare current prices of typical consumer goods, for example, with prices of
the same goods in previous years.
