B
       (体育1新高考4年6考)It was winter of 1973 and Singaporean L. Shanmugam waited at the guardhouse of a building in the small town of Hermannsburg, Germany. The Outward Bound Singapore instructor hoped for the once - in - a - lifetime chance to call on Kurt Hahn, the father of experiential education and founder of Outward Bound.
          When he was told that the elderly Hahn was a sick and weak man who did not receive guests, Shanmugam still waited. He said he had traveled from Wales to Germany, crossing the Alps just to meet him—if that was not the spirit of adventure, what was? The next moment, he was invited in. He recalled it was an exciting experience to finally meet Hahn.

         Over lunch, Shanmugam shared that he had come from a faraway country called Singapore. He talked about how the small flat island had little experience with mountaineering, polar exploration or extreme landscapes. Despite the limitations, this did not stop young Singaporeans from continuing to follow Hahn's rich legacy of outdoor learning.
Hahn was among the earliest pioneers who believed that the outdoors could shape the personal development of young people. In 1934, as the founder and headmaster of Gordonstoun School in Moray, Scotland, he asked his students to make regular sailing expeditions and hill - walking.
         During the Second World War, Hahn proposed to start a new kind of school in Aberdovey, Wales to train the youth: a one - month course including expeditions across three mountain ranges, rescue training and volunteer work in the local community. In 1941, Outward Bound, a non - profit educational organization that provides adventure programs, was born.
           Over eighty years on, Outward Bound has become a national policy in Singapore. The country has found that the act of communicating with the outdoors brings a certain kind of magic.
"We want all our young people to be strong, adaptable and creative. Outdoor adventure learning is especially useful in giving these lessons, which are very hard to teach in the classroom," said Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
