任务二 阅读理解
Rock climbing became a sport in the 1900s. But now it becomes a popular sport.
While rock climbing may still be necessary(必要的) for mountain climbing, most
people just climb low mountains for fun. If you try rock climbing, you will know that it is
not a very easy sport. Indoor and outdoor rock climbing both need practice. Besides,
your body and your will(意志) are very important for rock climbing.
To climb successfully(成功地), one must use wonderful skills. One of the
important rules is to always have three parts of your body on the rock face. And then,
your arms should hold you close to the rock face while your legs are pushing you up. The
closer you are to the rock face, the easier it is to climb.
Rock climbing is a wonderful sport. Once you start to learn how to climb, you will
find more fun. If you like games like playing chess, you may love rock climbing. They
are nearly the same in the way of thinking. Rock climbing is also a good way to get
yourself into shape. If you enjoy a difficult game and love outdoor activities, you should
take up rock climbing as a new hobby.
