As a mountain climber, Aron is used to taking risks. This is one of the exciting things about doing dangerous sports. There were many times when Aron almost lost his life because of accidents. On April 26, 2003, he found himself in a very dangerous situation when climbing in Utah. On that day, Arons arm was caught under a 360-Kilo rock that fell on him when he was climbing by himself in the mountains. Because he could not free his arm, he stayed there for five days and hoped that someone would find him. But when his water ran out, he knew that he would have to do something to save his own life. He wasnt ready to die that day. So he used his knife to cut off half his right arm. Then, with his left arm, he bandaged himself so that he wouldnt lose too much blood. After that, he climbed down the mountain to find help After losing his arm, he wrote a book called Between a Rock and Hard Place. This means being in a difficult situation that you cant seem to get out of. In this book, Aron tells of the importance of making good decisions, and of being in control of ones life. His love for mountain climbing is so great that he kept on climbing mountains even after this experience. Do we have the same spirit as Aron? Lets think about it before we find ourselves “between a rock and a hard place”, and before we have to make a decision that could mean life or death。26.( ) Aron Ralston lost his life three times because of climbing accidents.27( ) Aron had a serious accidents in April, 200328( ) Aron ran out of water after three days.29( ) Aron wrote his book before his serious accident.30( ) Aron still goes mountain climbing. 第二节，选出正确的一项。（一）Mario Green and Mary Brown from Riverside High School give up several hours each week to help others.Mario loves animals and wants to be an animal doctor.
