It took them several years to accomplish it; it was hard to achieve. Many of the 46 mountains have 3 and well-used walkways to their tops. However, others are not marked at all. These mountains are really hard to climb 4 travelers have to bushwhack (在丛林中开道) them using a compass and a map. My 5 had climbed 45 of the mountains. They had one left that was the highest, requiring bushwhacking. They left their camp site early one 6 and walked to the foot of the mountains. When they reached the foot they found that they had 7 their compass and the map in the camp. Rather than returning to the camp, they decided to bushwhack without the compass and map. For nearly ten hours they walked uphill 8 heat, thick bushes and black flies. Finally, late in the afternoon they found themselves at the top of a mountain. They were exhausted but excited. But the excitement 9 disappeared. They saw another higher mountain when they looked across the valley. They had climbed the 10 hill! It was too late that weekend to correct their mistake. They had to 11 4 months to climb the right mountain because it was also the remotest one. Often in life we use great effort toward some 12 . But without the right map and personal compass, it is easy to get lost. Knowing your life purpose gives you a powerful personal map and compass that makes sure you are always climbing the right mountain. |

I turned onto one of the lonely, rural country roads. Maybe it was because I was listening to the radio, maybe it was because I was already thinking about some projects at work, but I didn"t spot the dark object on the road until it was too late. I ran over it and felt the back left tyre pull, and then sink. I stopped and got out of the car. No mystery here-my back left tyre was cut like a loaf of bread. Back 50 yards was a piece of sharp iron I"d run over. I"ve never changed a tyre. I looked up the road. Not a car in either direction. The nearest service station was miles away. I threw up my hands. Then I remembered-my cell phone! I powered it up before realizing, I didn"t know who to call. Wouldn"t you know it, I spotted a car coming from the opposite direction. The driver slowed as he approached. I guess he could see I was in trouble. He stopped his car, got out and immediately saw the trouble. "Madam, would you like me to change that tyre for you?" he asked. The man couldn"t have been more friendly. I was so frightened out there and he put me completely at ease. "There," he said, after putting on the spare, "you"re all set to go." "Good thing for me that you were driving this way," I told him, as I climbed back into my car. "Funny you should say that," he said. "Just like you, I was heading to work, but my job"s in the opposite direction. I made a wrong turn at some point. I don"t know what I was thinking." | 1.

But for one British man once a year is not enough. Andy Park, who is better known by his nickname Mr. Christmas, has celebrated Christmas every single day for the last 14 years. The 44-year-old electrician claims to have eaten a full roast dinner every day for the last decade and a half, munching over 5 000 turkeys, 117 000 Brussels sprouts, and around 30 000 roast potatoes in the process. He also sends himself a Christmas card every day and looks forward to unwrapping a present he has bought himself each evening, while watching the Queen"s Speech. Mr. Park estimates his festive love costs him £150 (1570 yuan) a week. This year, however, he says he is short of money for his celebrations due to the global financial crisis. His Christmas habit is affecting more than just his wallet. Mr. Park was previously warned by his doctor that his Christmas addiction could kill him. His habit has caused his weight to 121kg. So how did Andy Park"s strong desire for Christmas begin? "I"ll never forget the day it started," said Mr. Park.
