Why are men and women  28  to suffer cold and hardship, and to   29  on high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activities  30   which men give their leisure. 　　There are no man-made rules, as there are for  31   as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which it would be dangerous to  32   , but it is this freedom from man-made rules   33   makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to their own   34   . 　　If we   35   mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is   36   mountaineering is not a “team work”. However, it is only our misunderstanding. There are, in fact, no :matches”   37   “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may   38   , obviously, there is teamwork. 　　A mountain climber knows that he may have to fight with natural  39   that ate stronger and more powerful than man. His sport requires high mental and   40    qualities. 　　A mountain climber   41   to improve on skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions   42  in their early twenties. But it is not  43   for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more   44   than younger men, but they probably climb more skill and less   45   of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment. 　　26.

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets. 　　Text I 　　Fifteen years ago, I entered the Boston Globe, which was a temple to me then. It wasn’t easy getting hired. But once you were there, I found, you were in. 　　Globe jobs were for life-guaranteed until retirement. For 15 years I had prospered there — moving from an ordinary reporter to foreign correspondent and finally to senior editor. I would have a lifetime of security is I struck with it. Instead, I had made a decision to leave. I entered my boss’s office. Would he rage? I wondered. He had a famous temper. “Matt, we have to have a talk,” I began awkwardly. “I came to the Globe when I was twenty-four. Now I’m forty. There’s a lot I want to do in life. I’m resigning.” “To another paper?” he asked. I reached into my coat pocket, but didn’t say anything. I handed him a letter that explained everything. It said that I was leaving to start a new media company. We were at a rare turning point in history. I wanted to be directly engaged in the change. “I’m glad for you,” he said, quite out of my expectation. “I just came from a board of directors meeting and it was seventy-five percent discouraging news. Some of that we can deal with. But much of it we can’t, ” he went on. “I wish you all the luck in the world,” he concluded. “And if it doesn’t work out, remember, your star is always high here.” 　　Then I went out of his office, walking through the newsroom for more good-byes. Everybody was saying congratulations. Everybody — even though I’d be risking all on an unfamiliar venture: all the financial security I had carefully built up. 　　Later, I had a final talk with Bill Taylor, chairman and publisher of the Boston Globe. He had turned the Globe into a billion-dollar property. “I’m resigning, Bill, ”I said. He listened while I gave him the story. He wasn’t looking angry or dismayed either. After a pause, he said, “Golly, I wish I were in your shoes.” 46. From the passage we know that the Globe is a famous _______.
