Imagine climbing the three highest mountains ...

Imagine climbing the three highest mountains in Britain. Now, imagine climbing all three in 24 hours. That’s what Rebecca Shedden, a British schoolgirl did and she’s only eight years old. She is one of the youngest people who have arrived on top of Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis, the three highest mountains in Britain.

Rebecca and her dad finished the climb, a total of about 11,000 feet (3,353 metres), in 23 hours and 15 minutes. That includes the time spent driving to each mountain: a distance of 500 miles!

Climbing isn’t new to this schoolgirl. She took her first trip up a mountain in her dad’s backpack when she was just six months old!

“One of the best parts about this climb was Scafell Pike,” said Rebecca. “I’ve never walked in the dark before, and it was fun seeing all the sheep eyes as they ran around in the dark.”

Rebecca brought along food, water, a medical kit (药箱), a hat, a map, a lamp, a camera to take photos and even a mobile phone in case (万一) something went wrong. Along the way, she and her dad had fun by making up mountain songs.

“All my friends like to stay inside playing computer games, but I like being outdoors best,” says Rebecca. Rebecca also enjoys swimming and skiing.

The young climber doesn’t plan to stay on flat land for long. She wants to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain in Africa. “And I would like to climb Mount Qomolangma one day, too,” she said.

1.What is the distance up and down all these three highest mountains in Britain?

A. 500 miles　　　　　　　　　 B. 24 hours’ walk

C. 11,000 feet　　　　　　　　 D. 23 hours and 15 minutes’ drive

2.Why did Rebecca like climbing Scafell Pike best of the three trips?

A. Because the Scafell Pike was the darkest part.

B. Because it is the highest mountain in Britain.

C. Because she likes being outdoors best.

D. Because she saw all the sheep eyes in the dark.

3.Rebecca likes climbing probably because ______.

A. she doesn’t get along well with her friends

B. her dad has a great influence on her

C. she likes making up mountain songs

D. she wants to climb Mount Kilimanjaro

Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and one of the largest free-standing mountains in the world, and some say, the most beautiful place on the earth!

The mountain towers 15,000 feet above the plains. Mount Kilimanjaro is in Tanzania and it covers an area of 60 miles long and 40 miles wide. Kilimanjaro is an extinct volcano(死火山), with 3 peaks. Kibo is the highest one in the center.

Because of Kilimanjaro’s great height, the mountain influences its own weather. Winds incoming from the Indian Ocean are stopped upward by the mountain and drop their moisture(湿气) as rain and snow. People have planted coffee, corn, and other crops on the lower slopes(斜坡).

Mount Kilimanjaro now attracts many thousands of walkers each year. Because of a temperature rise in recent years, the beautiful snow cap of Kilimanjaro is retreating(消退)fast. A research said that the white snow on the mountain might be gone in 15 years. What a pity!

1.The writer is worried about Mount Kilimanjaro’s ________.

2.Mount Kilimanjaro is __________

3.The snow on the mountain comes from ________.

4._________ influences the mountain’s own weather.

5. People should _______ to stop the mountain’s snow cap from melting.
