10．They say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon； on foot，on mules （骡子） or by air．We chose the first．Up early，my husband and I and our three children couldn't wait to get started．We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail．
As we set out，I was shocked at how narrow the path was．And I couldn't help noticing that the other tourists weren't like us．They had heavy backpacks，water bottles，and hats．But as usual we were dressed．As the sun rose higher，Arizona's famous heat seemed to roast us．There was no shade and our legs were aching．We decided to go back，with the girl on my back and the boys far behind．By the time we finally got back，our legs were like jelly．
The next day，after we'd had a long rest and a good breakfast，we were ready for another view of the Canyon-by air．After our last walk，this would be the easiest thing in the world．
We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon．But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed （翻转） the plane around，pretending he was going to hit the ground．I shouted，"STOP，TAKE US BACK!"When we finally arrived back on land，once again our legs were like jelly．We hardly spoke as we drove back．
As I said，there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon．We never tried the mules，but personally I'd suggest a fourth：buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic．That way，you can see the Canyon，without fear or tiredness．

6．I had looked forward to this day for a long time．Finally I，Kirsty Sturart，would stand on the top of Mont Blanc，the highest mountain in Europe．Although I climbed often in my native Scotland，this was my first trip to the Alps．My companions-Jean Pierre Barton，Maurice Gautier，and Mary Sargent-and I left our camp early and planned to reach the top by late morning．
As we neared the top，large clouds gathered and it began to snow．We found shelter and decided to wait for the snow to stop．After three hours，however，we decided to go back and try again the next day．We started down the mountain in the thick snow．Jean-Pierre forgot his sunglasses and went back to look for them．As he was returning to us，he started to fall．
His fall started an avalanche（雪崩） and it was falling towards us!I was swept away by the heavy snow．Jean-Pierre hurried down to me．"Are you OK？"he asked．
"I think I broke my leg，"I answered．
"I'd better radio for help!"he said．"Where are the others？"We couldn't see Maurice or Mary anywhere．
Jean-Pierre called the emergency radio number，and the police said they would send help right away．It seemed like hours，but only minutes later we heard the welcome sound of a helicopter． The helicopter couldn't land on the mountainside，so they lowered two men，two dogs，and a stretcher（担架）．One man ran to me，but I told him to search for the others．The dogs were trained for avalanche rescue and soon began to dig crazily in the snow．
Bernardo，the lead dog，found Mary's scarf and led the rescuers to her．Maurice was nearby．The men gave us hot drinks and warm blankets and then prepared to lift us into the helicopter．Two men inside the helicopter pulled us up with the ropes．I went first on the stretcher．
Once we were safely inside，the helicopter flew to the hospital in Chamonix．Our poor rescuers and their dogs had to climb all the way back down the mountain．Later we would find these brave men and thank them for saving our lives．

4．The CEO of Apple，Steve Jobs'story about death
When I was 17，I read a quote that went something like："If you live each day as if it were your last，someday you'll most certainly be right．"It made an impression on me，and since then，for the past 33years，I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself，"If today were the last day of my life，would I want to do what I am about to do today？"
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered（遇到）to help me make the big choice in life．
About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer．The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that was incurable，and that I would live no longer than three to six months．My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order，which is my doctors'code for preparing yourself to die．
I lived with that diagnosis all day．I was completely in despair．Later that evening，I had another biopsy（活组织检查）and my wife told me that tumor turned to be curable with surgery．I had the surgery and I'm fine now．
This was the closest I've been to facing death．To tell the truth，no one wants to die．And yet death is the destination we all share．No one has ever escaped it．It clears out the old to make room for the new．Right now the new is you，but someday not too long from now，you will gradually become the old and be cleared away．
Your time is so limited that you shouldn't waste it repeating someone else's life．Don't be trapped by dogma（教条）----which is living with the results of other people's thinking．Don't let the noise of others'opinions drown out your own inner voice．And most importantly，have the courage to follow your heart．It somehow already knows what you truly want to become．Everything else is secondary．
