　　Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or, skating or skiing in winter. It may be a game of some kind—football, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering(登山).
　　Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often loopon 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(闲暇).
　　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 mantaineering 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 obviously 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 skill 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(阿尔卑斯山). They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.

　　Speakers of different languages not only describe the world differently but thint it differently too, according to a new study.
　　Researchers used a cartoon cat Sylvester to study how language was reflected(反映) in the gestures people made .Dr Sotaro Kita of the University of Bristol’s Department of Experimental Psychology(心理学）,showed the cartoon to a group of native English, Japanese and Turkish speakers and then watched their gestures as they described the action they had seen. He found speakers of the three different languages used different gestures to describe the same event, which appeared to reflect the way the structure of their languages expressed that event. For example, when describing a scene where the cat swings on a rope, the English speased gestures showing an arc trajectory(弧形轨迹） and the Japanese and Turkish speakers tended to use straight gestures showing the motion but not the arc.
　　Dr ggests this is because Japanese and Turkish have no proper verb to express the English meaning “to swing”. While English spease the arc gesture as their language can readily express the change of location and the arc－shaped readily, Japanese and Turkish speakers cannot as easily express the idea of movement with an arc trajectory so they use the straight gesture.
　　Dr Kita said, “My research suggests that speakers of different languages cause different spatial(空间的）images of the same event in a way that matches the expressive possibilities of their own language. In other words, language influences spatial thinking at the moment of speaking.”
