Among all the things around the world , I like adventures (冒险) most. I,ve been skiing since I was eight or nine years old. I,ve been on adventures in many places like China , pakistan and so on. But it was in my home country , the USA, that I came closest to death.
It was April 1 , 2011 . I was skiing in the Tetons with my friends Jeremy and xavier , both experienced snowboarders. That day , I was the last person to ski. They were watching me from a safe area. Suddenly , I heard someone cry loudly. I turned around and saw the whole mountain start to move behind me. It was a huge avalanche (大雪崩) , the kind of avalanche that destroys trees , cars , buses , even houses! Tens of thousands of tons of snow were coming straight down the mountain behind me. I felt the snow push me forward , hundreds of meters , and then cover me. It was so heavy that I couldn,t breathe. And then it pushed me forward again and up , out of the snowpack. I looked around , and for a few seconds I actually stopped being terrified. I had a moment to pause and to look at the power of the avalanche.
I looked down into the bottom of the valley ( 峡谷) . I could see trees that were 30 meters tall , because I was so far away , they looked tiny to me. “ Ok, I,m going all the way to the bottom! ”I thought. Then the snow pushed me again down the mountain another 450 meters. I thought the force of the snow would kill me , because it was powerful. But in the end , I felt the avalanche slow down and I can just jump right out of the snow at the bottom of the valley.
It took Jeremy and xavier about 20 minutes to reach me. There was a pile of broken pieces across the bottom of the mountain 300 meters wide. They couldn,t believe it when they saw me. I was so lucky.

Different weather makes people feel different. It influences health , intelligence (智力) and feelings.
In August , it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the united states. people there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle west , it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. people in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
The weather can also influence intelligence. For example , in a scientific report , IQ ( 智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came , but after the strong wind , their IQwas reduced by 10% . The wind can help people have more intelligence. very hot weather , on the other hand , can make it lower. students in many schools of the united states often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August) .
weather also has a strong influence on people,s feelings. winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18 ℃ , people become stronger.
Low air pressure may make people forgetful. people leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. There is a“ good weather ”for health. people feel best at a temperature of about 18 ℃ .
