　　　 People believe that climbing can do good to health.Where can you learn the skill of climbing then? If you think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how to climb, you're wrong.Many Americans are learning to climb in city gyms.Here, people are learning on special climbing walls.The climbing wall goes straight up and has small holding places for hands and feet.

　　　 How do people climb the wall? To climb, you need special shoes and a harness (保護(hù)帶) around your chest to hold you.There are ropes tied to your harness.The ropes hold you in place so that you don't fall.A beginner's wall is usually about 15 feet high, and you climb straight up.There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to.Sometimes it's easy to see the next piece of metal.Sometimes, it's not.The most difficult point is to control your fear.It's normal for humans to be afraid of falling, so it's difficult not to feel fear.But when you move away from the wall, the harness and the ropes hold you, and you begin to feel safe.You move slowly until you reach the top.

　　　 Climbing attracts people because it's good exercise for almost everyone.You use your whole body, especially your arms and legs.This sport gives your body a complete workout.When you climb, both your mind and your body can become stronger.

Each nation has many good people who help to take care of others．For example，some high school and college students in the U.S.A. often spend many hours as volunteers in the hospitals，orphanages（孤兒院）or rest homes．They read books to the people in these places，or they just visit them and play games with them or listen to their problems．

Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick or old．They paint，clean up or repair their houses，do their shopping or mow（割；修剪）their lawns．For boys who no longer have fathers，there is an organization called Big Brothers．College students and other men take these boys to baseball games or fishing trip and help them get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers．

Each city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go to play games．Some of these clubs show films or organize short trips to the mountains or some places of interest．Most of these clubs use a lot of high school and college students as volunteers because they are young enough to know the problems and needs of young boys and girls．

Volunteers believe that some of the happiest people in the world are those who help to bring happiness to others．
