6．During the Middle Ages，kings and noblemen built castles for defense．The king and his family and their servants lived in the castle．The king owned the land around the castle，and it was farmed by peasants．In return，the peasants had small plots of land．The peasants didn't get paid，but they raised their own food on their plots of land．The king also protected the peasants from danger．
Workers made the first castles out of wood，but that didn't work very well．Stone made better，stronger castles，but it was much more expensive．Brave workers had to use high scaffolding （脚手架） to build those walls．Sometimes，the walls were 115feet tall!
Castles changed over many years．Later castles had double walls that were called curtain walls．If the castle was attacked，the attackers had to break through two walls．Usually，the inner wall was higher than the outer one．During an attack，the drawbridge （吊桥） into the castle was raised．The walls had long narrow openings in them so that soldiers could fire arrows through the holes safely．
A large castle took many years to build．A whole army of builders carried out the project under the direction of a master worker．Workers cut and shaped the huge stones．They used mallets （木槌） and chisels （凿子） so the stones fit together well，and they used mortar （灰泥） to stick the stones together．The walls were built with a double row of stone bricks．

5．Are you nervous about climbing because you think it's too dangerous？Do you feel you're not fit enough to climb？Do you know how to start climbing？
Let's consider the idea that climbing is dangerous．Being afraid is natural，but if you use suitable ropes and other climbing equipment you will feel completely safe．Climbers are usually very careful because they know what they are doing is dangerous．Accidents happen，but when they do，they tend to attract a lot of publicity．As a result，people think there are many more accidents than there are in reality．
You cannot expect to start climbing straight away．Climbing is a challenge and challenges take time．It is necessary first of all that you achieve a good level of fitness．Begin as soon as you become interested in climbing-go to the gym，go swimming，take up jogging and continue to do so throughout your training period．
Discover as much as you can about climbing．Visit the library and find books especially for beginners or buy climbing magazines and look for articles which describe your situation．Look up information on the Internet．Find out about equipment，methods and places to go．
Next，take a course on a climbing wall．There are plenty of climbing walls all over the country which have trained and qualified people as instructors．Call your local leisure centre to find out if there is one in your area．These training sessions are a quick way to get experience and you are likely to meet other beginners．After this，you can do an outside course or join a club where you can meet climbers of all abilities and eventually join in group-climbing events．
At first you may not understand the importance of a good training period，but after you have completed your first climb and you are standing safely at the top of a rock feeling thrilled，then you will know it was the right thing to do．
