Are you nervous about climbing because you think it's too dangerous?Do you feel you're not fit enough to climb?Do you know how to start climbing?

    Let's consider the idea that climbing is dangerous.Being afraid is natural,but if you use suitable ropes and other climbing equipments you will feel completely safe.Climbers are usually very careful because they know what they are doing is dangerous.Accidents may happen,but when they do,they tend to attract a lot of publicity.As a result, people think there are many more accidents than there are in reality.

    You cannot expect to start climbing straight away.Climbing is a challenge and challenges take time.It is necessary first of all that you achieve a good level of fitness.Begin as soon as you become interested in climbing—go to the gym,go swimming,take up jogging and continue to do so throughout your training period.

    Discover as much as you can about climbing.Visit the library and find books especially for beginners or buy climbing magazines and look for articles which describe your situation.Look up information on the Internet.Find out about equipment,methods and places to go.

    Next,take a course on a climbing wall.There are plenty of climbing walls all over the country which have trained and qualified people as instructors.Call your local leisure centre to find out if there is one in your area.These training sessions are a quick way to get experience and you are likely to meet other beginners.After this,you can do an outside course or join a club where you can meet climbers of all abilities and eventually join in group-climbing events.

    At first you may not understand the importance of a good training period,but after you have completed your first climb and you are standing safely at the top of a rock feeling thrilled,then you will know it was the right thing to do.

         ①日常生活中不难看到这样的情景：有的人因为一些鸡毛蒜皮的小事便恶语相向，甚至动起手来；有的人缺乏同情心，在别人遇到困难时无动于衷；还有的人能关爱家人和朋友，但对其他人却漠不关心……这些现象都是缺乏友善之心的表现，即有悖于中华民族的传统美德，也不符合现代文明的发展方向。人是社会关系的总和，在生活和工作中对人友善，是公民应具备的基本道德素养。《公民道德建设实施纲要》也把“友善”作为２０字基本道德规范之一。因此，我们有必要在全社会倡导友善。
         ②友善，意味着宽以待人，不苛求于人，不强加于人。友善待人，表明人胸怀宽广，精神境界纯洁高尚。友善待人，是中华民族的传统美德之一，古代贤哲对这个问题有许多精辟的论述。孔子明确提倡“躬自厚而薄责于人”，荀子则更强调了友善的重要，他说：“与人善言暖若绵帛，与人恶言深于矛戟。”一个人友善待人，人必友善待他，这样，才有助于成就大事业，整个社会氛围才会和谐，社会总体效率才会提高。可以说，一个充满友善的世界才是美好的世界。
        ③友善，还意味着乐于助人，互爱互助。对处于困境中的人伸出援助之手，发扬友爱互助精神，人间就会充满美好的真情。近年来，我国广大人民群众开展了各种互帮互助活动，如“希望工程”、“送温暖”活动等，使传统美德在新的历史条件下得到发扬光大，充分体现了社会主义大家庭的和谐人际关系，促进了社会主义精神文明的建设。
         ④对亲人、好友、同事友善，也许不难，但能以友善之心对待陌生人，却并非易事。我们倡导的友善，其理想境界是广具爱心。“老吾老以及人之老，幼吾幼以及人之幼，”“四海之内皆兄弟”、只有推己及人，普施善心，广推善举，我们的社会才会充满温馨。
         ⑤友善是和平的使者。在经济全球化、人际交往日趋频繁的今天，让我们共同努力，以取得协调的发展。
