The most important thing about this sport is knowing when exactly to open the parachute.ROCK CLIMBING: This is the activity of climbing up and down very steep rock formations.

12、e climbers safe. A climber has to have great strength of body and mind. It is better to climb in small groups, so that there is someone to help in the case of an emergency.ICE CLIMBING: This is almost the same as rock climbing. The difference is that the climbers are climbing up and down steep walls
13、 of ice, such as frozen waterfalls. Special equipment is needed to keep climbers safe. Ice climbing is quite dangerous because ice changes as it melts or freezes.

18、very clean? Were you looked after by a nurse?Hospitals have not always been clean, quiet places. Long ago they were dirty and overcrowded. Nurses were never taught how to look after their patients and many people died. Thanks to Florence Nightingale, who changed all this.Florence was born in 1820. S
19、he spent a lot of time playing with her dolls. She would pretend that the dolls were sick and she was their nurse. People would bring sick or hurt animals to her to look after. She even mended a dogs broken leg when she was a young girl. She often went with her mother to visit the poor people. They
20、took food and medicine to the sick. It was these visits that first gave her the idea of becoming a nurse.Florence really wanted to be a doctor but she couldnt because in those days only men were allowed to become doctors. She decided that she wanted to become a nurse. Her parents were very angry; th
21、e daughters of rich people did not work at all and they certainly did not become nurses. But Florence had made up her mind.Her chance came in 1854 when Britain went to war with Russia in a place called the Crimea. Florence was asked to take a group of nurses to look after the sick and wounded soldie
22、rs. The hospitals were dirty, and there was not enough medicine. There were not enough beds, so some people were just lying on rags in the mud. There was so much sickness that the doctors could not treat all the soldiers.Florence and her team cleaned the hospital rooms and beds. They made sure that
23、the bandages were clean and that the soldiers get enough medicine. The army was unhappy because there were women so close to the fighting. They gave the nurses a lot of trouble. Florence and her team worked hard. Consequently, Florence became famous as “The Lady of the Lamp”.After the war, Florence
24、returned to London a national hero. A great welcome was prepared for her, but she slipped into the country unnoticed. She opened a school to teach nurses how to look after their patients properly.

28、ebsite called the “World Database of Happiness”. It combines and analyzes the results of hundreds of surveys from around the world that have been conducted on life satisfaction. Most of the findings are predictable, but a few are surprising.The database makes it clear that there is not a strong conn
29、ection between material wealth and general satisfaction. It is a cliche to say that money cant buy happiness, but the old saying seems to be supported by research. Many people still believe that gaining riches will be the answer to all their problems, yet they are probably mistaken.Studies have been
30、 carried out on people who got sudden wealth, such as lottery winners. In most cases, after the initial joy had worn off, people were not left with a sense of lasting happiness. In fact, they tended to go back to the way they felt before they became rich. If material wealth does not bring happiness,
31、 then what does? Perhaps happiness has something to do with where you live. The authorities at the World Database on Happiness have surveyed levels of happiness in different countries. Obviously, people in America, Canada, and Singapore are very happy; people living in India and Russia, not surprisi
32、ngly, are not happy.Other surveys consistently point to the importance of relationships. Family relationships in particular seem to be the key to long-term happiness. The website suggests that falling in love and having children are two of the situations that bring the greatest happiness.Nowadays pe
33、ople look to technology as another source of satisfaction. People increasingly spend more time alone watching TV or surfing the Internet rather than spending time with family. Can technology truly make people happy? It is too difficult to tell, but one thing is sure: If the websites research is righ
