Passage 1: Rock Climbing: A Vertical Challenge

Standing at the base of the karst mountain, I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. This would be my first attempt at rock climbing, and my hands were already 1 with sweat. The instructor had told us that climbing is not just about strength, but about strategy and focus—qualities I wasn't sure I 2 .
As I started my climb, I quickly realized how 3 the sport really is. Each hold requires careful consideration, and one wrong move could mean a long fall. Halfway up, I felt my arms 4 and my breathing become rapid. "Don't 5 heart!" shouted the instructor from below. "You're doing great—just focus on the next hold."
His words gave me the 6 to continue. I reminded myself of something I'd read about great athletes: they don't let temporary 7 stop them. Suddenly, I found myself 8 to a small ledge where I could rest. Looking down, I was surprised by how far I'd come. The fear that had gripped me earlier began to 9 .
With renewed confidence, I 10 climbing. The final section was the most challenging, but I kept my eyes on the top. When I finally pulled myself up onto the 11 , I felt a sense of achievement unlike anything I'd experienced before. The instructor and other climbers cheered, and I knew I'd accomplished something special.
Later, as we sat resting, the instructor explained that climbing teaches important life lessons. "It's not about how fast you reach the top," he said, "but about perseverance and 12 your limits. Every climber falls sometimes, but what matters is that you 13 trying."
I thought about how climbing 14 other areas of life. Whether it's sports, studies, or personal goals, success comes from the same qualities: determination, focus, and the courage to keep going when things get 15 .

E-sports (short for electronic sports) means professional players or teams competing in video games. These competitions are often streamed online or on TV, attracting millions of 2 worldwide. Popular games include League of Legends and Dota 2.
A key reason to call e-sports a sport is the high level of skill and 3 needed. Pro players practice for hours daily, developing quick reflexes and teamwork. Studies show top e-sports players have faster reactions than athletes in 5 sports.

However, critics say e-sports lacks the 6 part that defines 5 sports. They believe real sports need physical 7 and athletic ability, which e-sports doesn’t have. Some also worry about e-sports’ 8 nature (sitting for long) and its health risks.
Despite this, e-sports grows more popular. Big sports groups like the International Olympic Committee are considering adding it to future Olympics.
One of e-sports’ most 9 points is its 10 . Unlike 5 sports that need special facilities or 11 , anyone with a computer can play. This 10 makes e-sports global, with fans everywhere.
E-sports also creates new chances (coaching, commentating, event organizing). More young people now pursue 12 in the e-sports 13 .
Like 5 sports, e-sports teaches life skills: teamwork, strategic thinking, and handling pressure in high-stakes 14 . It also teaches discipline and the value of practice.
The debate about e-sports will continue. But no one can deny the skill and dedication it needs. Most importantly, it brings 15 and joy to players and fans.

Playing sports regularly has a big 1 on reducing anxiety and depression. Physical activity makes endorphins (brain chemicals that lift mood and reduce pain). This is why people feel better after exercising.

Sports also offer important social 3 . Team sports, in particular, are good for mental health. Being on a team gives a sense of 4 and connection—which are 5 for emotional well-being. Teammates support each other, creating a social network that fights loneliness.

The mental health benefits of sports are 14 to everyone, regardless of skill. You don’t need to be a pro—even light activity helps. Finding a sport you enjoy makes it easy to 15 this healthy habit.
During COVID-19, sports became more important. Lockdowns limited social time, so many turned to hiking or running to cope with stress.

Passage 1: Rock Climbing: A Vertical Challenge
