Question

【題目】 When he was 23 years old, he climbed Mount Everest. In 2007, he set another world record by flying over Mount Everest in a powered paraglider (滑翔傘). His first book, Facing the Frozen Ocean, got shortlisted for the UK’s “Sports Book of the Year”. Since then he has written more than 15 books, including the No. 1 Bestseller: Mud, Sweat and Tears.

Bear Grylls

His name is Bear Grylls, and he was the host of Discovery Channel’s famous TV show, Man vs Wild. In the show, he was left in faraway areas in order to show survival (生存的) skills. Millions of viewers watched, breathless, as he climbed terribly dangerous mountains, performed amazing ice climbing, and ran through a forest fire.

Grylls continues to shine with both his amazing shows and charity (慈善) work. And he has set up his own company, Bear Grylls’ Survival Academy, where everyone can learn survival skills from him and his highly trained team.

Recently, Grylls founded Young Survivors – training courses for teenagers, including survival skills and adventure tasks designed to teach the basic rules of outdoor survival self-rescue. Those who complete the course are given a Young Survivors Award. Skills taught include how to build and light a fire, how to tell directions in both day and night, putting up a protection building, bad weather survival and so on. The key focus of the course is getting young survivors back in touch with nature and away from technology.

In Grylls’ own words: “The thing I love about Young Survivor Course is that it is designed to put young adults in just the kind of challenging, character-building and practical situations that help consider them as adults. So often, young adults can feel almost over-protected and are stopped from experiencing some of the best things in life – but the Young Survivor Award will challenge and empower them in an unbelievable fun environment.”
