Norman Croucher，70，a disabled man who lost both his legs when he was a teenager，has climbed more than 100 mountains，including the Alps and the Himalayas．
    As a climber from a young age，doctors told Croucher he would have to give up his hobby when，at the age of 19，he had both his legs amputated（截肢）after falling onto railway tracks of an oncoming train．
    But despite warnings from friends and family，he always refused to give up-and has spent 53 years since taking on dangerous mountain climbs．
    The smallest mountain he has climbed is more than 8，200 feet tall--and he has even decided to reach a 26，000-foot summit （頂點） in the Himalayas．
    Despite recently being diagnosed （診斷） with cancer，he has decided to carry on．He is now preparing himself for an adventure to the Alps again． "Life is like a muscle and if you don't use it，it'll waste away and climbing for me is like using the muscle of life，" he said．
    Mr．Croucher said that not having any legs wasn't always a disadvantage and in some ways he felt it had helped him when climbing．He said， "Because there's less of me and I have a shorter blood circuit （血液環(huán)路），so I take in oxygen better．So I may be slower on the lower mountain but then different at the top．And because there's less body surface to lose heat from，I keep warmer as well so often I'm more comfortable than the others．And there are advantages on long distance flights，too．I can take my legs off and lay on two seats and have quite a good sleep．"
    Croucher was awarded an OBE （大帝國勛章） for his work encouraging disabled people to try adventurous sports．He fought against those who held the view that only common competitive sports were suitable for disabled people．

1．Most smart phones allow you to run location-sharing software that uses the phone's GPS capability to let friends and family know your exact location．There are lots of great uses for this technology．（1）

So make sure you're permitted to use an app or service，and pay attention to how you are using it．Here're some important points you may find helpful．
   Choose what's best for you．Some location-sharing services are games that let you give a shout-out when you've turned up at a particular spot．（2）

Still others continue to share your location until you change the setting．Be sure you know exactly how your service shares your location．
   Know who your friends are．（3）

This means people can search to see if you're online and add you as a friend．It's important to remember that sharing your location with people you've never met in real life is risky，so you should carefully manage friend requests and share your location only with people you know and trust．
   （4）

Some services automatically stop sending your location after a period of time，but others will send it forever-until you stop it．Review your contact list periodically and delete anyone to whom you no longer feel comfortable revealing your location．
   Update parents．Location-based services are a great way for teens to let parents know where they are without having to call or text．（5）

2．Walk Out of the Comfort Zone and Try New Things For most high school students，free periods （課、節(jié)） are useless.From what I have seen，few do homework. （1）

.This makes it impossible for those who actually want to do work to complete any.As a senior next year，I think extra periods should be used to take optional subjects.
   （2）

.Now is the time for us students to choose a suitable one.We will experiment in different fields of study.We will never know if we are interested or talented in a subject if we don't try it.
   In my 8th grade，I was told that I had to take an art class as a graduation requirement；so in the 9th grade I took Studio and Art.One of the projects was to build a clay pot，but I built mine incorrectly，so it broke in the kiln （窯）. （3）

.Now I know for sure that I do not want to be an artist.However，the class was one of my favorites that year.I was able to try new activities and test my ability.
   （4）

!College is when we should focus on a specific major，but high school is when we have to figure it out.
   Half of all college students change their major at some point.By doing that hundreds of dollars are wasted on classes that they would have never needed to take.So use our extra periods to find out what we want to do in college. （5）

.

A.Our school offers many classes
B.We should find out what we are good at
C.I've avoided anything related to art since then
D.Instead，many are on their phones and talking
E.I found out that I have no artistic ability at all
F.Walk out of our comfort zone and try new things
G.The classes we choose can influence us in the future
