Ed Viestur
s grew up in Rockford, Illinois, where the tallest thing on the horizon was the water tower. But on Thursday, Viesturs became the only American to climb to the top of the world's 14 highest mountains.

His last hike was up Mount Annapurna, in Asia's snowcapped Himalayas. At 26,545 feet, its peak is the 10th highest in the world. It is the mountain that inspired him to start climbing.

"It tends to be
the trickiest, the most dangerous," said Viesturs. "There's no simple way to climb it. There are threatening avalanches (Ñ©±À) and ice falls that protect the mountain."

In high school, Viesturs read French climber Maurice Herzog's tale of climbing the icy Annapurna. Herzog's story was of frostbite (¶³ÉË) and difficulty and near-death experiences. Viesturs was hooked right away.

Viesturs got his start on Washington's Mount Rainier in 1977, guiding hikes in the summer. Fifteen years ago, he set out to walk up to the world's highest peaks. Finally, he's done.

The pioneering climber talks about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with respect. "You have to use all of your senses, all of your abilities to see if the mountain will let you climb it," said Viesturs. "If we have the patience and the respect, and if we're here at the right time, under the right circumstances, they allow us to go up, and allow us to come down."

What's next for a man who can't stop climbing? "I'm going to hug my wife and kids and kind of kick back and enjoy the summer," says Viesturs. But for a man who's climbed the world's 14 tallest mountains, he will probably soon set off on yet another adventure.

31. What record has Ed Viesturs set?

A. He has succeeded in climbing to the world¡¯s 14th highest mountain.

B. He has been to the top of the world¡¯s 14 highest mountains.

C. He has become the first to climb to the height of 26,545feet.

D. He has become the first man to climb to the top of 14 highest mountains in the world.

32. The underlined word ¡°hooked¡± in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by ¡°______¡±.

A. frightened B. discouraged C. interested D. upset

33. The author used Viestures¡¯ words in Paragraph 6 to support a view that ______.

A. mountain climbing is a dangerous sport

B. mountains should be regarded as living creatures

C. mountain climbing needs more skills than physical energy

D. those who like mountain climb
ing won¡¯t stop climbing

There are some new drivers going back to school. Teens who have recently gotten their driver¡¯s licenses may be taking the wheel to school this fall. However, parents fear when their teen starts driving. And it turns out that such parental fears are justified, so it¡¯s worth reviewing how to keep your teen safe while he or she is behind the wheel.

Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among US teens. Drivers 16 to 19 years old are at the greatest risk of crashes. In fact, their risk is 4 times greater than that of older drivers. The teens at the greatest risk are those who are male, those carrying other teenage passengers in the car, and those still in their first year of driving. Nearly 50 percent of teen deaths related to automobile crashes happen on Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays between the hours of 3 pm and midnight.

Why are teens at higher risk of motor vehicle crashes?

Development. Teens haven¡¯t completely matured mentally and have greater risk-taking behaviors, possibly because they tend to underestimate the risk associated with a particular behavior. Teens also have a greater tendency to speed and to drive too close to the cars in front of them.

No seatbelts. Teens have the lowest rate of seatbelt use among all driving groups.

Alcohol. At least 25 percent of motor vehicle deaths in teens are related to drinking alcohol.

Technological distractions£¨·ÖÉ¢×¢ÒâÁ¦µÄÊ£©. Cellphones, texting, MP3 players, and the like can all distract drivers greatly¡ªand who more than teenagers?

Be aware of your teen¡¯s driving practices and discuss safe driving habits when opportunities present themselves. Check out the applications and devices now available for restricting your teen¡¯s use of technology while driving. Some applications alert you to the danger when your tee
n is texting while the vehicle is moving. Another device blocks incoming and outgoing texts when the car is running¡ªincoming messages get an automatic reply£¨eg. ¡°I¡¯m driving right now¡±£©, and phone calls go directly to voicemail. You can also get notifications if your teen tries to shut off the program. There are also GPS programs that let you know your new driver¡¯s whereabouts at all times. All in all, you can¡¯t be too cautious when teaching your teen how to be safe on the road.

34. What factor is least related to the teen drivers¡¯ high risks of crashes?

A. Drivers¡¯ age. B. Passengers¡¯ sex. C. Driving experience. D. Driving time.

35. Teens probably turn away their attention from driving when they are .

A. using no seatbelts B. drinking water

C. carrying passengers D. answering cellphones

36. According to the passage, which should be prevented during teens¡¯ driving?

A. Texting. B. GPS programs. C. Automated replies. D. Voicemail.

37. The author writes the
last paragraph in order to .

A. offer parents practical suggestions B. summarize teens¡¯ driving practices
