10、e knows when and where they are going to occur. Even with modern technology it is still impossible to know exactly when or where one is going to occur. Mountain climbers are wise to be careful, as avalanches kill many of them each year. The physics of how and why an avalanche occurs is complex. Ther

11、e are times of higher probability. During the year, the transition（转变）from winter to spring will cause some snow and ice to melt, which may trigger(引起) avalanches. Also at daybreak there is a higher probability due to the temperature change. While climbers hike up slopes, some distance between the c

12、limbers should be kept. If an avalanche occurs, then there will be fewer lives lost and a higher probability that someone will be able to seek help. Since an accident is more likely to happen when a top layer of snow is loose, avoid areas where heavy snow or rain has recently occurred. Try to choose

13、 areas that you are familiar with and stay in areas with rocks, bushes and trees. Trees and bushes allow snow to pile up and keep the layers stable. If an avalanche occurs, trees will take the impact of the snow, so there is a better chance of being safe. Climbers must pay attention to the degree of

14、 the slope. Avalanches wont occur on level ground and there is little snowfall on very steep areas. The greatest danger is in areas where the slope is between 25 and 40 degrees.

18、tween 25 and 40 degreesC This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers (young people aged from1319) from all over the world will spend about ten months in U.S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundre

19、d American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world. Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with Georges family. In turn, Georges son Mike spent a year in Freds home in America.

20、 Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months study the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected-much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the

21、 six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities. Family life, too, was different. The fathers word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car. Back home, you pi

22、ck up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it. At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. I suppose I should criticize (批评) American schools, he said. It is far too easy by our level. But I

23、have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.8. This year _ teenagers will take part in the exchange pr

27、he easy life in the American school was more helpful to students.DIn modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against anot

28、her; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of succ

29、ess, the development, of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten. However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the

30、most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost

31、, but it doesnt matter because I really didnt try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove

32、 themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that ones self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition. 12. What does
