Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience.
Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing. But as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there can you see all of the nice things, which is just like your life.”
At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got to know the meaning of hope in life. I found myself standing at the top of the mountain, and the sky was as clear as crystal.

One of my favorite things to do is hiking in mountains．Because
nobody likes the idea of getting lost，I always prepare before every
trip．But what’s the best navigation tool，a Global Positioning Sys-
tem(GPS)or a good old map and compass?
Five of my friends and I hiked through the mountains on a trail
(路线)I marked．One team of three carried a GPS，and the other
team used a map and compass．
It took the GPS team 3 hours and 1 1 minutes to get through the
whole hike，however，it took the map and compass team only 2
hours and 49 minutes．The biggest problem the GPS team met was
that they lost the satellite signal(卫星信号)in some places．With
no map or compass，they had to walk around until they were in a
place where the signal was good．The map and compass team was
able to spot different landmarks，compare them to their maps and then use the compass to point them in the right direction．
When I head out on my future hikes，I’m bringing a map，a compass and a GPS to show me the way．
(   )小题1:The two teams____．
A．had the same navigation tool  B．went along the same trail  C．had the same problem
(    )小题2:The GPS team spent ____ time than the map and compass team in the whole hike．

(    )小题3:In the end，the writer found out____．

B．it wasn’t necessary to bring a map and a compass together with a GPS
C．the GPS had some disadvantages in hiking in mountains
