2、relay their experiences to readers in the form of written language.Thus,when I was challenged to take part in a mountain climb in aid of raising money for charity-and to write about it afterwards-I was unwilling,to say the least.I was lucky enough to have a brilliant climbing coach called Keith,who
3、put me through my paces after my daily work.He gave me knowledge about everything from the importance of building muscle groups to how to avoid tiredness through nutrition.It quickly became apparent that the mechanics of climbing were more complex than I had imagined.There was the equipment and tech
4、niques Id never even heard of,all of which would come in handy on the snow-capped peak Id be climbing.Aware of the challenge,Keith made a detailed action plan and I forced myself to stick to it,doing a daily workout at the gym and going on hikes with a heavy pack.I perfected my technique on the clim
5、bing wall and even went to climb the mountains to get vital experience.My self-belief increased alongside my muscle power and I became confident about finishing the climb.All too soon I was on a plane to my destination.On that day,when I looked up at the mountain,I thought of abandoning it.But then
6、I remembered all the hard work Id done and how disappointed Keith would be if I gave up at the last minute-not to mention letting down the charity and the sense of failure Id experience myself.With a deep breath I gathered my equipment and headed out into the sunshine to meet the rest of the group.A
7、nd as I sit here now,tapping away on my laptop,Im amazed at the details in which I can recall every second of the climb:the burning muscles,the tiredness,the minor problems along the way.Could I have been better prepared?Possibly.Would I be back for another go?Thankfully not.The feeling of being exc

11、gretful that it wasnt as smooth as imagined.B Humans are the only creature that gets around by standing up and putting one foot in front of the other.Our ability to walk upright has allowed humankind to travel great distances and survive changing climates,environments and landscapes.Countless scient
12、ific studies have found that walking is really good for us and this simple act can provide a number of healthimplications,which help people live longer.In fact,a walking routine,if done properly,might be the only exercise people need.How much walking should one aim for?Youve likely heard we need 10,
13、000 steps a day.Thats about 5 miles.But contrary to popular belief,this recommendation doesnt come from science.Instead,itis from a 1960s advertising campaign to promote a pedometer(计步器)in Japan.Perhaps because its a round number and easy to remember,it stuck.Since the 1960s,researchers have studied
14、 the 10,000-steps-a-day standard and have turned up mixed results.Although 10,000 steps is certainly a healthy and worthwhile goal,its not fit for all.For instance,a recent Harvard University study involving more than 16,000 senior women found that those who got at least 4,400 steps a day greatly re
15、duced their risk of dying early when compared with less active women.The study also noted that these benefits continued up to 7,500 steps.This 7,500 mark isnt surprising:Its similar to common public health recommendations,such as the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions recommendation of 150

18、dults is advised.7.What does the author mainly want to tell readers?A.The more you walk a day,the healthier you will be.B.We can benefit from continuous and proper walking.C.Walking upright helps humankind to explore the world.D.Advertisements can always tell us some scientific suggestions.C If you
19、travel inAthens,against popular belief,I would highly recommend saving the Acropolis for your secondday.As attractive as it is to head straight to the most famous building in the city,there are several reasons why you should hold off until later.Sunriseis the best time to see the ruins,and who wants
20、 to spend their first day in anew citywaking up at6 a.m.?On top of that,the Acropolis is going to make every other site inAthensless important in comparison,so I recommend not hitting it on your first day.We got to the southeast gate at 7:30,half an hour before it opened at 8.When the gate opened,we
21、 rushed to the hill.Our plan paid off because we had the whole complex to ourselves for five minutes.In this age of overtourism,getting to the greatness of the Acropolis with nobody else around felt special and excited.The Acropolis is the name given to the complex on top of the hill,and its made up
22、 of several buildings.Theres theTempleofAthena Nike,the Parthenon,the Old Temple of Athena,the Legendary Olive Tree of the Pandroseion,the Porch of the Caryatids at the Erechtheion.and on your way down,the Odeon of Herodes Atticus.Something that sounds boring but isnt is theAcropolisMuseum,and I rec
23、ommend spending a couple of hours there.As someone who is a museum-avoider,I listened to the recommendations of everyone who had been,and made myself go inside.And I loved it.The museum houses tons of sculptures unearthed from the Acropolis,and it was interesting to check them out.Head toSyntagma Sq

29、rs than those who didnt.Games also benefit a variety of brain functions,including decision-making.People who play action-based games make decisions 25 percent faster than others,according to one study.It was also found that the best gamers can make choices and act on them up to six times a second,fo
30、ur times faster than most people.In another study by researchers from the University of Rochester in New York,experienced gamers were shown to be able to pay attention to more than six things at once without getting confused,compared with the four that most people can normally keep in mind.There is
