Question

【题目】阅读下面短文根据内容选择最佳答案。

As a child, Alain Robert was afraid of high places. One day, when he was 12, he went back home from school. At the front door of his building, he looked for his keys. He didn’t have them. It was 3:30 and his parents worked until 6:00 pm. Alain looked at his apartment on the eighth floor. He saw an open window. He closed his eyes and imagined himself climbing the building. When he opened his eyes, he told himself, “I can do it.” Fifteen minutes later, he was in his house and his fear of high places was gone.

Today, Alain still climbs building. In 2003, he climbs a building in London dressed as Spiderman to advertise(为…做广告) the movie. In 2004, he climbed a building Taipei 101 (one of the tallest buildings in the world). To reach the top of a building, Alain uses only his hands and special shoes. He has no rope or other safety tools.

Alain climbs as a hobby. He also does it to make money for charity (for poor children and the homeless). When he climbs, he wants to send a message to people. If you have a dream or something you really want to do, it can become real. But you must be brave and keep trying. If something bad happens, don’t give up. Close your eyes and tell yourself, “I can do it.”
