There are threatening avalanches(雪崩)and ice falls that protect the mountain．”‎ ‎ In high school, Viesturs read French climber Maurice Herzog's tale of climbing the icy Annapurna．Herzog's story was of frostbite(冻伤) and difficulty and near-death experiences．Viesturs was hooked right away．‎ ‎ Viesturs got his start on Washington's Mount Rainier in 1977，guiding hikes in the summer．Fifteen years ago, he set out to walk up to the world's highest peaks．FinaUy，he's done.‎ ‎ The pioneering climber talks about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with respect．“You have to use all of your senses，all of your abilities to see if the mountain will let you climb it,” said Viesturs．“If we have the patience and the respect，and if we're here at the right time，under the right circumstances，they allow ‎ us to go up，and allow us to come down．”‎ ‎ What's next for a man who can't stop climbing? “I'm going to hug my wife and kids and kind of kick back and enjoy the summer．” says Viesturs．But for a man who's climbed the world's 14 tallest mountains, he will probably soon set off on yet another adventure．‎ ‎21．What record has Ed Viesturs set?‎ ‎ A．He has succeeded in climbing to the world's 14th highest mountain．‎ ‎ B．He has been to the top of the world's 14 highest mountains．‎ ‎ C．He has become the first to climb to the height of 26，545feet．‎ ‎ D．He has become the first man to climb to the top of 14 highest mountains in the world ‎22．The underlined word“hooked”in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by“ ”‎ ‎ A．frightened B．discouraged C．interested D．upset ‎23.

It is two different places in winter and summer. Summers there are fairly dry and hot, although by August things can already begin to get cold and unpleasant. Of course, winters are cold, but the cold is dry. In most parts snow comes in October and clears by the end of March, but in the northern parts snow can fall as early as September and stay until late May.‎ ‎ The tourist season in southern Finland is from early June to late August. This is ‎ when all the tourist attractions and summer programs are open, with steamboats and ferries (渡船) traveling on the lakes and rivers, and festivals become very lively.

This is the time period of nights with sunlight, when Finland doesn’t seem to sleep.‎ ‎ The tourist season in northern Finland is different. Mosquitoes can be annoying in July, but September is lovely with its autumn colors. October, February and March are good times to visit the north of Finland to view the aurora borealis (北极光), and enjoy winter activities such as skiing and dog sledding.
