My father and I used to climb the mountains near my house．Climbing has been a very  1   thing for me since I was a kid．

Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations and from them I learned a lot．In fact, without mountaineering（登山）, Dad couldn't have had enough time to spend with me because he was very   2  himself．

Once we climbed Palgoly Mountain．It was very   3   for me because I was only ten years old． At first, I felt very   4  ．But soon I had pain（疼） in   5  of my legs, so I wanted to give up  6  ．My father said, "  7   is a season when everything comes to life（复苏） again．The mountain and the field where we are standing are beautiful．You can   8  see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can't see it before you   9   the top．You can always enjoy a lot of beautiful scenery at the top, but you can't when you are halfway（中途） up．"

At that time, I was   10   young to understand his words, but now I get it．And I also have new hope and confidence．
