Most young people enjoy some forms of physical activity.It may be walking，cycling，or swimming，or in winter，skating or skiing.It may be a game of some forms—football，basketball，hockey，golf or tennis.It may be mountaineering.

Those who have a passion of climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment.Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship，and to take risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused，probably，by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.

Mountaineering is a sport and not a game.There are no man­made rules，as there are for such games as golf and football.There are，of course，rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore，but it is this freedom from man­made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people.Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.

If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”．We should be mistaken in this.There are，it is true，no “matches” between “teams” of climbers，but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend，there is obviously teamwork.

The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man.He has to fight the forces of nature.His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.

A mountain climber continues to improve his skills year by year.A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty.But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps.They may take more time than younger men，but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort，and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.

You see them everywhere: people walking with their attention (concentrate) on their smartphone screens on busy streets. But walking and texting can be dangerous and cities in the United States and Europe have stepped their efforts to deal with it.

In Honolulu, using the phones while crossing the street is forbidden. It has passed a law that says “No pedestrian(行人) shall cross a street or highway while viewing a mobile electronic device”. In other words, do not look at a screen when you cross the street you could be fined. Honolulu is the first major US city (forbid) what is called “distracted walking”.

People text while walking are nearly four times as likely to have at least one dangerous action.A lot of people do it they know it is dangerous. They tell themselves that it is important.

Using phones while walking may lead to injuries and deaths, but it seems to be a global problem. Pedestrian deaths (increase) as the use of cell phones rises in the past 5 years, and it is expected that the tendency will continue.

Other cities have come up with creative ways to help protect those using cell phones while walking. A small town near Amsterdam has set up special crosswalks with flashing lights on the ground. When the traffic lights turn red or green, do the lights on the ground, reminding pedestrians when it's safe to cross. In a town of Germany, similar lights were used after a teenager using her smartphone was hit and seriously (injure).

If you still want to text while walking you could avoid being fined in Honolulu using voice­controlled digital assistant(数字助手) like Siri or Google Assistant. Or you could just wait until you are again, safely, off the street.

In a meeting room, I faced the judges seated behind a table holding my fate in their hands. These same judges had rejected me twice before. This was my last chance. Would it finally be my turn?

“Tell us, Jason,” one judge said, “why do you want to be Pistol Pete？” That summer I watched a cowboy football game. I was attracted by Pistol Pete. He was larger than our body. He could get everyone in the entire stadium on their feet shouting “Come on!” and make sure they had fun. Being the mascot (吉祥物) fit my personality. I loved getting attention—and a laugh. I didn't have the leg or the speed to play football. But no one could top me when it came to school spirit.

I entered a national high school mascot competition and finished twelfth. When tryouts (选拔) for Pistol Pete were announced during my first year at university, my academic adviser encouraged me to work hard at the mascot training. Then came the interview with the judges. The main question was, “Why do you want to be Pistol Pete？”

“Because I've been training for this all my life，” I told the judges.

The judges gathered the candidates to announce their decision. They'd selected two students. I could only watch as those two students jumped into the air.

I talked about my dream to my co-workers at my part-time job, and they were behind me 100 percent. When tryouts came the following spring, I was more than ready. Then I stepped before the judges again.

“You know me from last year，” I said. “You know how badly I want this. And you know how good I'd be.” I thought it was a done deal that I'd spend my senior year being Pistol Pete, living my dream.
