Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind—football,hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a "team game". We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no "matches" between "teams" of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obvious teamwork.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skills year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment1.In the author's opinion, one of the most important reasons why so many people enjoy mountaineering is that______.A.there are no man-made rules for mountaineersB.mountaineering is a sport and not a gameC.it is one of the most dangerous sportsD.mountaineering brings them more enjoyment than other sports2.The mountaineering can also be called a team sport because______.A.mountain climbers usually compete in groupsB.mountaineers depend on each other while climbingC.mountaineering climbers are free to use their rules to climbD.mountaineering is a sport and not a game3.The biggest difference between golf and mountaineering lies in______.A.team gamesB.enjoymentC.ageD.rules4.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A.Differences between Golf and MountaineeringB.Sports and GamesC.MountaineeringD.Why Are so Many People Crazy about Mountaineering?
