Besides, how can they teach rock-climbing when its completely flat around here? thats not important. You cant just start cl

7、imbing without any training. You have to get in shape, learn how to use the ropes, the belts, the buckles-theres a lot of preparation first. You dont think its just a little bit dangerous? Not if you know how to use the safety equipment, which is, by the way, pretty hi-tech. The ropes are made of el

Well spend the whole semester studying something we dont actually get to do? We will take a climbing trip during spring break. But thats

9、 not the point. Climbing is not the only goal. In preparing to climb you learn patience, mental discipline and you gain fantastic physical strength, especially in your hands.

12、dicine three time a day after eating, but it doesnt seem to help. He also told me to stay off my feet for a day or so, but Im so busy these days. Listen! Forget about that medicine! I have just the thing to get rid of bad colds. You see, my mom is really into herbal medicine.Oh, no, thanks. Ah, come

13、 on! Give it a try. You just take some of my moms herbal tea and drink it four times a day. Believe me. Youll be up and dancing around in no time.Dancing around in no time, right? Well, I guess. Nothing else seems to be doing the job. Great. Ill come by your place at 7:30. See you then.Passage One S

14、teve Nichols has a way with birds. The founder of the UKs National Parrot Sanctuary connects with them in a way few people can understand. Strolling through the centre at Friskney, in Lincolnshire, he can individually name most of the 414 parrots under his care. The majority of birds at the centre a

15、re “problem pets” which their owners gave away. Mr Nichols said increasing numbers of owners were finding their parrots too much to handle and were giving them away to the sanctuary. At the current rate, he expects the sanctuarys stock to go up to more than 1000 birds within two years. It is noise a

16、nd aggression that usually drives most people to give up their birds. When BBC News Online visited the sanctuary, one woman phoned Mr. Nichols about giving away her bird after owning it for just nine days-despite paying 900 for it.

In recent weeks, Mr. Nochols has opened his sanctuary to paying customers, mainly in the hope of raising money for his expanding operation, which also includes a 24-hour helpline for worried owners. “ As more birds come into the sanctuary the more it is going to cost. So we cam

19、e up with the idea that if we show people what we do, and they contribute by paying to come in, hopefully we can secure the longevity of the parrots.”Passage Two A SUNFLOWER is a sunflower.

20、arly as next year it may well be possible. When you have finished with your mobile phone you will be able to bury it in the garden or a plant pot and wait for it to flower. A biodegradable mobile phone was, this month, introduced by scientists. It is hoped that the new type of phone will encourage c

21、onsumers to recycle. Scientists have come up with a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other plastic and can be hard or soft, and able to change shape. Overtime it can also break down into the soil without giving out any poisonous chemicals. British researchers used the new mat

22、erial to develop a phone cover that contains a sunflower seed. Engineers have designed a small transparent window to hold the seed. They have make sure it only grows when the phone is thrown away. As phone technology is developing so quickly people are constantly throwing their mobiles away. This me

23、ans manufacturers are under pressure to find ways of recycling them. Some 650 million mobile phones have been sold this year.
