5 . In November 2020, US climber Emily Harrington, 34, took on El Capitan--a 3000 foot(914 meters) rock formation(岩层) in Yosemite National Park, US. She accomplished her feat within a day and became the first woman to free-climb the Golden Gate route.

It used to take weeks for rock climbers to reach the top of El Capitan, even with the help of a partner and climbing aids. In recent years, only three people--all men-- had free-climbed the Golden Gate route on El Capitan in 24 hours, according to CNN.

Although rock climbing has long been dominated by men, the number of female climbers has been rising in recent years. Even in the pandemic, many of them have made great achievements and pushed human limits.

“I spent a lot of years feeling like I didn't belong, like maybe I hadn't earned my place to be a Yosemite climber,” she told the San Francisco Chronicle. “But throughout this experience I learned that there is no belonging or not belonging, no formula to achievement up there.”

The rising number of female climbing enthusiasts should come as no surprise. According to the website Climbing.com. “Climbing is one of the few sports where it's possible to level the playing field. Women's flexibility helps offset anything we may lack in strength, bridging the gap between the sexes.”

Legendary Austrian climber Angela Eiter is another strong female figure in the climbing world. In 2020 Eiter made news as she climbed the unknown face she calls Madame Ching in her home country.

According to the New York Post, the route was free of traces. That means Eiter has to search for the holds and predict how the moves were going to play out by herself. Worse still, the rock there is really fragile and some holds had to be fixed with glue. But after intensive indoor training to visualize(构思) the route and build up her strength, Eiter, who stands 154 cm high and weighs 46 kg, made it.

“I am not the strongest woman and I am very small, and I am happy that I can show other women that they can also do it,” she told the New York Post.

As Climbing.com noted, this battle with oneself embodies(体现) the spirit behind the sport. “Maybe that's why more women feel more empowered to find their own way, break free of the mold(模式) and climb what we want to climb. Women have decided to follow their hearts.”

6 . The East African nation of Kenya has a rich tradition in distance running. Unfortunately, a lack of success in field events meant that no one had the qualification to coach Yego, who studied the javelin(标枪) on the Internet.

Yego was born in Cheptonon, a village in the Great Rift Valley, in January 1989 and grew up loving football and running, but when he was lapped(领先一圈) by two competitors in a 10,000m school running race, he turned his attention elsewhere afterward. He started to cut and shape a javelin from tree branches and although his parents thought he should concentrate on his studies, Yego persisted and he became national junior champion.

Combining his job as a policeman with training, Yego turned to the Internet, studying the technique and strength exercises the top javelin throwers employed.

Neither being just 5 feet and 7 inches tall nor weighing 13 stone held Yego back. In 2011, he became the first Kenyan to win a field event medal at a continental meet with gold at the All-Africa Games.

A year later in London he became the first African javelin thrower to reach an Olympic final, finishing 12th a historical moment.

"To be an Olympian is something you will never forget," he said. "So when I was named in the Olympics, I was just so happy. Luckily enough I was in the finals and that just changed all my life."

He was fourth at the 2013 World Championships and won the 2014 Commonwealth tide before being crowned world champion in Beijing, China, a year later with what is the fifth-longest throw in history of 92.72m.

Rio 2016 arrived and Yego was leading after three throws only to suffer an ankle injury on his fourth attempt which forced him to retire, and he looked on as Thomas Rohler of Germany overtook him to seize gold. However, he is not defeated and he will have a chance to improve on that at the next Olympic Games.

2. What made Yego start to learn the javelin?

A．His failure in study at school.

B．His parents' encouragement.

C．His growing love of the javelin.

D．His discouragement in running.

3. When was Yego crowned world champion in Beijing?

A．In 2013.	B．In 2014.
C．In 2015.	D．In 2016.
