       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 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．

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 of 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.

Without the distraction of TV, they might   38  together after dinner and actually talk to one another. It is well known that many of our  39  —everything in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of  40  illness —are caused at least in part by  41  to communicate. By using the quiet family hour to  42  our problems, we might get to know each other better, and to like each other better.

There is more entertainment in  47  than in a TV program.  48  report that the generation growing up with television can hardly write an English sentence,  49  at the college level.  50  is often learned from reading. A more literate new generation could be a product of the quiet hour.

At first glance, this idea seems radical（激进的. How will we spend the time then? The fact is: it has been only twenty-five years  54  television came to control American free time. Those of us thirty-five and older can  55  childhoods without television. It wasn’t that difficult.
