What if you don't have a partner?Well, I'm sure you have a friend who would love to train with you.Or, if you have young children, why not train in the backyard with another parent while they play You just need some music.The important thing is to have a plan and to make the time to do it.It will be much more fun than doing it on your own.

The hike to the lost Incan city of Choquequirao is one of the most difficult in Peru. From the town of Cachora, Choquequirao is 161km west of Cusco. It's an 18km walk to Capuliyoc Mountain, then down to Playa Rosalina where tourists camp for the night. Waking early, tourists then have to cross the Apurímac River and walk uphill to camp close to the ruins. The next morning, it's another 2km walk up to the ruins, 3,100m above sea level. To get back Well, it's the same way you come.
“I've had people in their 60s and 70s do it,” said Juan Barrios, a guide from the Adventure Life company. “But some people come out thinking that because it's only 28km from the destination, they can do it in a day. They are totally wrong! Six or seven days for the hike is best.” It makes sense then, that Choquequirao draws only about 30 people a day during the high season (June through pare that to the 2,500 people who arrive each day at the famous Incan city of Machu Picchu. But for those who make the journey, the rewards are great: beautiful mountain views at every turn, and the chance to explore the wonderful ruins nearly alone.
Believed to be created around the same time as Machu Picchu, in 1445, Choquequirao is actually larger than better-known Machu Picchu. But very little has been written about Peru's other lost city and researchers are still unearthing new parts of the ruins, leaving life on the mountain relatively untouched.
Choquequirao is beautiful now because of its unique scenery and civilization. Even though the lost city was discovered by Spanish explorer Juan Arias Díaz in 1710, the ruins still make you feel as though you're the first to find them. The question is what if more tourists flood in (大量涌入) in the future.

解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第二段第四句“Six or seven days for the hike is best.”可知,六七天的徒步旅行是最好的。故选D。

I love training with my husband Chris.We do our own exercises separately, but then we really enjoy spending 30-40 minutes doing something we both like together.I also train with my family — my brother, his wife and our cousins will come to our house every now and then to train together.It's like family fun time!A little bit of competition also makes us work out harder.
Laziness, as you know, is contagious (有传染性的).But so is enthusiasm.If you can get your partner on board, you will be able to encourage each other on those days when the other doesn't feel like moving.If you set yourself a challenge and add competition to the mix, I promise you that the training will be much more fun.Time will fly by and you'll want to do it again.
This is why I wanted to learn Chris' favourite sport — surfing.Not only would we have more things to do together, but it would be a great challenge for me.In turn, I have introduced Chris to two of my favourite activities: horse riding and motorbiking.Now he also loves them, which means we have even more chances to have fun together. Encouraged by our example, my brother and his wife now train together too.This is what it's all about at the end of the day: quality time with your partner.
What if you don't have a partner?Well, I'm sure you have a friend who would love to train with you.Or, if you have young children, why not train in the backyard with another parent while they play You just need some music.The important thing is to have a plan and to make the time to do it.It will be much more fun than doing it on your own.

The hike to the lost Incan city of Choquequirao is one of the most difficult in Peru. From the town of Cachora, Choquequirao is 161km west of Cusco. It's an 18km walk to Capuliyoc Mountain, then down to Playa Rosalina where tourists camp for the night. Waking early, tourists then have to cross the Apurímac River and walk uphill to camp close to the ruins. The next morning, it's another 2km walk up to the ruins, 3,100m above sea level. To get back Well, it's the same way you come.
“I've had people in their 60s and 70s do it,” said Juan Barrios, a guide from the Adventure Life company. “But some people come out thinking that because it's only 28km from the destination, they can do it in a day. They are totally wrong! Six or seven days for the hike is best.” It makes sense then, that Choquequirao draws only about 30 people a day during the high season (June through pare that to the 2,500 people who arrive each day at the famous Incan city of Machu Picchu. But for those who make the journey, the rewards are great: beautiful mountain views at every turn, and the chance to explore the wonderful ruins nearly alone.
Believed to be created around the same time as Machu Picchu, in 1445, Choquequirao is actually larger than better-known Machu Picchu. But very little has been written about Peru's other lost city and researchers are still unearthing new parts of the ruins, leaving life on the mountain relatively untouched.
Choquequirao is beautiful now because of its unique scenery and civilization. Even though the lost city was discovered by Spanish explorer Juan Arias Díaz in 1710, the ruins still make you feel as though you're the first to find them. The question is what if more tourists flood in (大量涌入) in the future.
12.What does the first paragraph center on
A.The height of Choquequirao.
B.The hard trip to Choquequirao.
C.The transport to Choquequirao.
D.The amazing views of Choquequirao.
13.According to the author, how many days for the hike is best
A.1 day. B.2-3 days.
C.4-5 days. D.6 or 7 days.
14.In what way is Choquequirao different from Machu Picchu
A.Choquequirao is older.
B.Choquequirao is smaller.
C.Choquequirao is quieter.
D.Choquequirao is better known.
15.What is the author's attitude towards Choquequirao's future
A.Positive. B.Hopeful.
C.Negative. D.Concerned.
