5.They are the sort of friends who are so close that they trust each other with their lives.If one fails the other is there to catch him.They are Wellman,whose legs were permanently injured nine years ago in a rock-climbing accident,and Corbett,an experienced rock climber.Together,they climbed up Half Dome,the famous 2,000-foot rock in the Yosemite National Park,through one of the most different routes.
During the climb,Crorbett took the lead,hit in the metal spikes(尖状物) that guided the ropes and climbed up.Then,after Wellmanm pulled himself up the rope,Corbett went down to remove the spikes and climbed up again.This process was repeated time and again,inch by inch,for 13days.Wellman's job was not easy either.He got himself up the rope through upper body strength alone.In all,Wellman figured that he had done 5,000pull-ups up the rope on the climb.
However,when the two men first met,they never talked about climbing."He knew that was how I got injured."Wellman said.Until one day Wellman decided that he wanted to climb again and they started training.
Their climb of Half Dome was not all smooth.At one point,pieces of rock gave way,and Corbett dropped down quickly.Wellman locked their rope in place,stopping the fall at 20feet.His quick action probably saved his friend's life.
"Your partner can save your life---you can save your partner's life,"Wellman said as the pair received congratulations from friends."There are real close ties."

I know a woman who tries hard to be a good custodian.
I pass her every day after school as she pushes her cart down my
hallway.Of course,she is my building's cleaner,
One Tuesday morning I came into school and saw a (36)C on my
desk from my custodian,
It seemed that some unbearable first year students had damaged the bathroom in a particularly disgusting way and she had been (37)D to clean it.This took(38)B than she had expected. She had left the typewritten note on my desk to (39)A for not being able to clean my room as she was (40)D to do.
At the beginning of the period,I shared her note with my first period(41)A When I mentioned that our custodian had apologized to us,their first (42)B was to volunteer to seek out and beat up those first year students for making our custodian have to clean up their (43)C.It turned out that just about all of my students also knew our custodian by name-all of them responded with smiles and (44)A for a long time about this time or that time when she'd(45)D each of them in the hallway.That she felt she needed to apologize (46)C a strong reaction from many of the kids.
As the class period was about to end,I asked them to(47)C the floor like I do every period and thanked them for picking up any garbage (48)A it wasn't theirs.My entire class disappeared; they each disappeared instantly(49)B their desks to pick up those annoying tiny pieces of paper that (50)B so easily from notebooks.One girl made a (an)(51)D that I later used with my other classes:"Her job might be to clean the room,but she shouldn't have to clean up(52)A us.There's a difference."
I believe that people know the difference between right and wrong.I believe that people appreciate it when others(53)D take care of them.And I believe that people,even adolescents who are not quite yet mature,appreciate it when they see someone who takes (54)Bin her work. Sometimes we need a (55)C of the things we take for granted…things like a good custodian to take care of us.
