The most famous climb in mountaineering history took place in 1953. In that year Sir Edmund Hillary of New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay of Nepal reached the top of
9、 Mount Everest, the worlds highest mountain.There are three basic forms of mountain climbing: ( 1 ) rock climbing, (2) snow and ice climbing, and ( 3 ) mixed climbing. Each has its own special equipment and techniques.Rock climbingmeans climbing up the rock cliffs and mountains. Rock climbing is pop

15、 Chinese Students Nutrition and Health Festival in Kunming last week singled out (挑选) several bad eating habits.Watching television while having meals or snacks (零食).Doing this means you dont pay attention to your food, forget how full you are, and so overeat. It can also cause digestion (消化) diseas
16、es. One way to avoid this is only to eat in certain areas of your home. Replacing meals with snacks.Many students think that eating small snacks can help them diet. But it often results in overeating and health problems related to a lack of vegetables, carbohydrates (碳水化合物), proteins and vitamins. S
17、nacking only works if it is well planned and includes healthy foods such as nuts, vegetables, fruit and yogurt (酸奶).Having drinks rather than water.Fizzy (有气泡的) drinks and fruit juice are usually high in calories and sugar, which can cause weight problems.

Over the years, American songwriters have described these feelings in music. More songs have been written about Americas biggest city, New York, than about an
28、y other city. Many others dream about leaving their small towns to go there. They want to become rich and famous. Frank Sinatra sings about this dream in the most popular song written about New York. Almost three-million people live in the middle western city of Chicago, Illinois. It is now Americas
29、 third largest city. It used to be the second largest city. So, of course, it needed its own song. Judy Garland sings the song, Chicago, Chicago. One of Americas most exciting cities is Las Vegas, Nevada. In nineteen-sixty-four, Elvis Presley starred in a movie called Viva Las Vegas. Here is the son

The name of the festival, Mardi Gras, is French and means Fat Tuesday. Mardi Gras is celebrated on a Tuesday between February 3 and
36、March 9, always 47 days before Easter Sunday. During Mardi Gras, people like to dress up in colorful and unusual costumes, and of course, watch parades in the streets.

Rich Romans visited friends and family who were working in another part of the Roman empire. But when the empire broke
40、down, this kind of tourism stopped. In the early 17th century, the idea of the “Grand Tour” was born. Rich young English people sailed across the English Channel. They visited the most beautiful and important European cities of the time, including Paris in France, and Rome and Venice in Italy. Their
41、 tours lasted for two or four years and the tourist stayed a few weeks or months in each city. The “Grand Tour” was an important part of young peoples educationbut only for the rich.In the 18th century tourism began to change. For example, people in the UK started to visit some towns, such as Bath t
42、o “take the wasters”. They believed that the water there was good for their health. So large and expensive hotels were built in these towns. In the 19th century, travel became much more popular and faster. When the first railways were built in the 1820s, it was easier for people to travel between to
43、wns, so they started to go for holidays by sea. And some started to have holidays in the countryside as cities became larger, noisier and dirtier. Traveling by sea also became faster and safer when the first steamships were built. People began to travel more to faraway countries. The 20th century sa
44、w cars become more and more popular among ordinary people. Planes were made larger, so ticket process dropped and more people used them. 1._Main Tourists Places 8._2._4._in Roman empireto visit friends and family 17th century rich young people6._9._3._people in the UKsome towns10. _19th century5._7.

46、ear there is a Spring Festival in China. Usually it is held in January or February. Of all our festivals, the Spring Festival is the most important to us Chinese. So before it comes, everyone has to prepare things. Several days before the lunar new year, we spring-clean our houses and decorate (装饰)
47、them. The old folk say that everything must be new and clean for the Spring Festival celebrations (庆祝) so that the new year will bring happiness and good luck. We also buy pork, beef, chicken, fruit and many other things. Parents buy new clothes for their children and children may also buy presents
48、for their parents. The celebration begins on the eve of the lunar new year, we put up some New Year pictures. On the Festival eve, all the family members come back to their hometown. No matter how far away from home a person is, he will always try to get home in time for this big dinner. We often ma
49、ke a special kind of food called “dumplings”. It means “come together”. When were enjoying the meal, we give each other the best wishes for the coming year. We sing, dance and play card. On the first day of the holiday, we usually stay at home. We get up fairly early and, first thing, exchange (交换)
50、New Year greetings. This is a happy moment for the children; they can get some pocket money. And then we let off firecracker (放爆竹) and fireworks (烟花). We enjoy ourselves very much. On the second and the third days, we go visiting relatives and friends. We sit around chatting (聊天) and eating sweets a
51、nd New Year Cakes and all kinds of delicacies (珍馐美味). Each family prepares something special. Sometimes we would see some lion and dragon dancings. The celebration lasts about 15days. The 15th night of the first moon is called the Lantern Festival. This is the day when we young people go out to enjo
52、y ourselves, and sometimes we dance folk dances far into the night.

55、d to know what these needs are. They are very simple. Dr. Maslow has suggested that people have only five needs. Every one has them, and everyone spends his or her life trying to satisfy them. Although we may try to satisfy our needs in different ways, we all are trying to satisfy the same needs. In
56、 a way, it is these needs, which are common to all people, that make us human. They seem to be a basic part of human nature.The needs, which occur in the order shown below, can briefly be described as follows:1The Physiological Needs - Our needs for the things that keep our bodies alive- food, water
57、, rest, air, elimination, etc. These needs come first. We must meet them or we will die.2The Safety Needs First we need to stay alive, and then we need to be safe. There are two kinds of safety needs: the need to be physically safe and the need to be psychologically safe or secure.3The Belongingness
58、 Needs Once we are alive and safe, we then try to satisfy our social need, a need to be with and accepted by other people. We discover our need for love. 4The Esteem Needs After our first three needs are fairly well met, we try to satisfy a fourth need. This is a need for recognition, respect, reput
59、ation. The need has two parts: self esteem (thinking well of ourselves ) and the esteem of others.5The self actualization Needs The highest need of man is to actualize himself, to achieve his full potential, to become all that he might be. This need is one that no one ever satisfies completely, part
60、ly because we are too busy trying to satisfy our lower needs.If Dr. Maslow is correct, those are the things we are after. Our work, rest, play whatever we do is done in an effort to meet one or more of those needs. Title: 1_Names of the Needs4. _8._2. _Food, water, air, etc.To be aliveSafetya. physi

But some of them dont really know how to eat well when eating out.Here is some important advice.
63、The first is to eat less fast food. The most obvious harm of eating too much fast food is weight gaining because of too much fat. Young people and adults are at risk of disease related to weight.Too much fast food can drag your body down. French fries, for example, were recently found to contain muc
64、h more acrylamide(丙烯酰胺) than other food. This may cause cancer. Actually, deep fried food all contains acrylamide. So dont eat it too often.Soda is another thing you should watch out for. Cokes and other sodas contain a lot of sugar and can slow down a persons calcium absorption, so its best to drin
65、k as little soda as possible.Food in the dinning-room may not be as tasty as fast food, but its actually easier to make healthy choices. Human bodies need variety. You can have a dinner that balances lean proteins, vitamins and complex carbohydrates(碳水化合物). In other words, a meal with fish or meat,
66、vegetables and some bread or rice will provide you with most nutrients that the body needs.Some snacks, on the other hand, will help keep you going until your next big meal. It is natural for teenagers, especially boys, to feel hungry during school time. Dont forget to take some foods, like whole-gr
67、ain biscuits or low-fat milk in your school bag.

Body systems are kept in balance. Some of the most important helpers in the job of good health are the substan
70、ces we call vitamins. Vitamin A is needed to produce a light - sensitive substance in the eyes. People who do not get enough vitamin A cannot see well in the dark. The best source of vitamin A is fish liver oil. It is also found in the yellow part of eggs. In addition, squash, sweet potatoes, carrot
71、s and other darkly colored fruits and vegetables contain substances that the body can change into vitamin A. Vitamin B - one is also needed. It changes starchy (淀粉) foods into energy. It also helps the heart and nervous system work smoothly. Without it, we would be weak and would not grow. Vitamin B
72、 - one is found not just in whole grains like brown rice, but also in other foods. These include beans and peas, nuts, and meat and fish. Vitamin B - twelve is needed so folic acid can do its work. Together, they help produce red blood cells. Without them, a person suffers from anemia (贫血). Vitamin
73、B - twelve is found naturally in foods such as eggs, meat, fish and milk products. Vitamin C is necessary for strong bones and teeth, and for healthy blood vessels. It also helps wounds heal quickly. The body stores very little vitamin C. So we must get it every day in foods such as citrus fruits, t

They found that one million lives could be saved

They said that programs to increase handwashing with soap could be among the most effective ways to reduce infectious disease Doctors say，many diseases can be prevented from spreading by handwashing. These include pinworms(寄生虫)，influenza(流行性感冒)
