Climb of a lifetime British historian Jacob Bronowski once wrote， "Man masters nature not by force，but by understanding."
This is especially true for extreme climber Alex Honnold，who climbed the California's EI Capitan by himself，without any safety ropes.The New York Times called it "one of the greatest athletic feats of any kind，ever".
Now you can watch him do it.The documentary Free Solo，which hit Chinese mainland cinemas on Sept.6，shows Honnold's brave journey up the 914-meter vertical（垂直的）mountain.The film won the 2019 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in February.In it，Honnold gives us some useful advice："You'll always feel fear，but over time you'll realize the only way to truly manage your fear is to broaden your comfort zone."
In fact，free climbing is a testament to perseverance（毅力），control，and concentration. "I'm not thinking about anything when I'm climbing，" Honnold said. "I'm focused on executing（執(zhí)行）what's in front of me." This strong focus on the present is sort of meditation（冥想） that we can use in our daily routines.
While the documentary seemingly praises extreme athletes for pushing the limits of human potential，some are concerned about Honnold recklessly（不顧一切地）risking his own life. "His continued pursuit of ropeless ascents（攀登） puts significant stress on his loved ones，even when he succeeds，" Climbing Magazine noted.
Free Solo seems to say that with enough courage and dedication（全心投入），one can accomplish any goal.However，the movie may also be viewed as the disturbing story of a climber who went against all better judgment and got away with it（未遭遇不測(cè)）.

3．Dear Laura，
Thanks for letting us to stay at your seaside house． Now， you might have heard from your neighbors about which happened on Saturday evening． When I was out a walk， my younger son， Tom， played football before your house． He made so many noise that the neighbors got quite angrily． Even worse， Tom broke one of the window of Mr． Wilson's house． Tom and I apologized to all the neighbors for the unhappy happenings， but promised to have the broken window repair soon． Tom said that we would not do such silly things any more． I am glad that your neighbors had forgiven us． They are really nice people．
Yours，
