9．People believe that climbing can do good to health．Where can you learn the skills of climbing then？If you think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how to climb，you're wrong．Many Americans are learning to climb in city gyms．Here，people are learning on special climbing walls．The climbing wall goes straight up and has small holding places for hands and feet．
How do people climb the wall？To climb，you need special shoes and a harness （保护带） around your chest to hold you．There are ropes tied to your harness．The ropes hold you in place so that you don't fall．A beginner's wall is usually about 15feet high，and you climb straight up．There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to．Sometimes it's easy to see the next piece of metal．Sometimes，it's not．The most difficult part is to control your fear．It's normal for humans to be afraid of falling，so it's difficult not to feel fear．But when you move away from the wall，the harness and the ropes hold you，and you begin to feel safe．You move slowly until you reach the top．
Climbing attracts people because it's good exercise for almost everyone．You use your whole body，especially your arms and legs．This sport gives your body a complete workout．When you climb，both your mind and your body can become stronger．

8．In China，if you are not married by the time you are 30，you are in for trouble：social blame and pressure from family and friends can get you down．And if you are a woman，it's even worse．Many young people get married simply to get other people off their backs （免受别人的指责）．This is a serious compromise （妥协）．One ends up not marrying the ideal partner．
There are，however，a few young people who refuse to compromise：if they can't find a good marriage partner，they say，they would rather not marry at all．
34-year-old Kate is a university lecturer in English．She said she would not describe herself as celibatarian （独身主义者） but simply a woman who hasn't come across the right man yet．She has sharp comments for the way in which the old generation looks at marriage．
"Many people think marriage is a duty---to your parents，family and society．Nobody cares if your marriage is happy or not，she said，I think this is very wrong and I intend to live and act according to my own will．"
Happily for her，her parents are open-minded and not put pressure on her．But the same does not apply to her friends．They are constantly trying to get her together with some young man or another．She always refuses politely．

7．As we know，many teen celebrities（名人） feel and think that having a slimmer figure can do great good to them．But，does size really matter？Are teenage fans trying hard to become like their celebrity idols（偶像）？Do celebrities really have the power to influence people，especially teenagers？
For the longest time，many parents blame teen idols for influencing the way their kids act．Have you noticed how teens idolize the celebrities these days？Even，their personal affairs are being followed by kids these days．Take for example the case of Lindsay Lohan of Mary Kate Ashley．They are definitely famous teen stars．But，since they are trying to project an image to satisfy a lot of people in show business，their health and body suffer．Many kids are aware of this problem．But they are easily influenced by these celebrities to exercise and eat less．
It is a fact that the media，and especially famous teen celebrities，can influence people powerfully．But teenagers are easily influenced because teenage years are the period when our personality and identity developments take place．Teens watching TV shows and reading magazines are easily pulled into the dieting and harmful eating habits because the media have some ways to pull these acts．They use thin models and celebrities to endorse（做广告宣传） products or to star in an up-and-coming shows or movies．With fierce competition，celebrities are forced to eat less and do extreme exercise routines to get the roles or offers that come their way．
Living in today's time and generation is a bit disturbing to a lot of parents．Media，especially as well as the celebrities，have a very powerful influence to drive teenagers to good or bad．It's good that we can control ourselves to avoid bad things from happening．If not，parents should really be aware and guide their teens to determine what's in and what's out．

5．There are many festivals in the United States and Canada，among which Thanksgiving Day is a quite special one．Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks for their blessing．
Thanksgiving Day is really a harvest festival．This is why it is celebrated in late fall，after the crops are in．But one of the first thanksgivings in America had nothing to do with a good harvest．On December 4，1619，the Pilgrims from England landed near what is now Charles City，Virginia．They knelt down and thanked God for their safe journey across the Atlantic．
The first New England Thanksgiving did celebrate a rich harvest．The Pilgrims landed at what is now Plymouth，Massachusetts，in 1620．They had a difficult time and the first winter was cruel．Many of the Pilgrims died．But the next year，they had a good harvest．So Governor Bradford declared a three-day feast（盛宴）．The Pilgrims invited Indian friends to join them for their special feast．Everyone brought food．
In time，other colonies（殖民地）began to celebrate a day of thanksgiving．But it took years before there was a national Thanksgiving Day．During the Civil War，Sarah Josepha Hale persuaded Abraham Lincoln to do something about it．He declared the last Thursday of November 1863as a day of thanksgiving．Today，Americans celebrate this happy harvest festival on the fourth Thursday in November．Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving Day in much the same way as their American neighbors．But the Canadian thanks-giving Day falls on the second Monday in October．
