【答案解析】[解析] 18-21 W: John, you've got to take rock-climbing. We just had the first class and it looks like it is going to be great. M: You think I should take rock-climbing? You've got to be kidding. Besides, bow can they teach rockclimbing when it's completely flat around here? Don't you think it's just a little bit dangerous? W: That's not important. You can't just start climbing without any training. You have to get in shape, learn how to use the ropes, the baits, the buckles. There's a lot of preparation first. It's not dangerous if you know how to use the safety equipment, which is, by the way, pretty high-tech. The ropes are flexible that stretch a little, the shoes have special grips on the bottom and the helmets are made of some kind of special plastic. You have to learn how to use all these before you do any real climbing. M: Well, what's the appeal'? We'll spend the whole semester studying something we don't actually get to do. W: We will take a climbing trip during spring holiday. But that's not the point. Climbing is not the only goal. In preparing to climb you learn patience, mental discipline and you gain excellent physical strength, especially in your hands. For the first few weeks we're going to concentrate entirely on hand and upper body exercises. M: All that in one sport'? Maybe you are right. Since it's not too late to join the class, maybe I will.
