When I found out I was moving to India, it was beyond a nightmare. It was something I couldn’t even imagine. The impression I had of India were only based upon a few summer visits to my grandparents, filled with heat, pollution and dirt. Even though I was only six years old, I know this would be a complete change from my comfortable life in Maryland.

During my first six months in India, my expectations were met almost exactly. I hated my new apartment; I missed my school and friends back in Maryland, and I was sick of all the dirty marketplaces that filled the streets of New Delhi.

After those six months were over I finally realized that I was going to be in India for a while. I knew that I had to start making the most of my new life. It was then that I became completely involved in my school. My school, the American Embassy School, was filled with international students: Europeans, Australians, Chinese, and Americans just like me. But they all welcomed me with open arms. It was amazing to be among such diverse students, who had such incredible experiences to share.

Now, when I look back at my time in India, all I can think about is how fortunate I am to have had such a wonderful experience. My move to India not only allowed me to see a completely different side of the

world, but I was also able to establish unbreakable bonds with so many interesting and amazing people. Even now, after quite some years, I am still in contact with my closest friends from the American Embassy School. I cannot even imagine what I would be like without having lived in India. I would have missed out on meeting so many extraordinary people, and I would be a completely different person today.

Hiking, also walking for a long distance in the countryside is one of life’s simple and cheap pleasures. But is it safe? Sports writer Mark Waters considers the risks.

Imagine the following...

One day, Ronald decided to take up hiking. The next Sunday, he got up early, threw a sandwich and a bottle of water into a bag and headed for Sai Kung Country Park. Before going, he quickly looked at a map and decided that he could easily walk from the bus stop at Park Tam Chung to the beach at Dai Long Wan .

After walking for hours and hours under the hot sun, Ronald started to feel tired. He reached for his water but found that the bottle was empty. Then he smelt smoke and saw a fire. In a panic, he called 999. However, when he got through to the police, he couldn’t tell them where he was because he didn’t have a map...

Think about it...

Put yourself in Ronald’s shoes. How could you stop this of thing happening to you? One way is to know the following common types of danger.

Getting lost

Foggy weather is one reason why some walkers get lost. However, a more common one is not having enough knowledge of the hiking route. Always remember to bring a map and don’t be too confident . Always choose a route that is right for you.

Heat stroke(中暑)

The summer in Hong Kong is very hot and wet. Many hikers forget this and walk for too long in the midday heat. They become hot and feel weak. Don’t forget during exercise, it is necessary to drink 100 to 200 milliliters of water every 15 to 20 minutes.

Accident

Some of Hong Kong’s paths are very hazardous and it’s not unknown for hikers to fall. Never walk alone and always bring a map and a mobile phone with you.

Hill fire

On average, over 10,000 hill fires a year take place in Hong Kong, injuring more than 600 people. Never light fires in non-marked areas and, if you see a hill fire, report it. Always stay calm and walk away from the fire into the wind.

Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold and brave—and mighty(强大的) forces will come to your aid.

Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.

Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you are sure you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas—even physical strength greater than most of us realize.

Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet(子弹)—and stopped him cold.”

Boldness—a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks(挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.

So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.

1.Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?

A. He faced huge risks. B. He lacked mighty forces.

C. Fear prevented him from trying. D. Failure blocked his way to success.

2.What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?

A. Swallow more than you can digest. B. Act slightly above your abilities.

C. Develop more mysterious powers. D. Learn to make creative decisions.

3.What can be learned from Paragraph 5?

A. Confidence grows more rapidly in adults. B. Trying without success is meaningless.

C. Repeated failure creates a better life. D. Boldness can be gained little by little.

4.What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

A. To encourage people to be courageous. B. To advise people to build up physical power.

C. To tell people the ways to guarantee success. D. To recommend people to develop more abilities.
