He lost his arm in 2003,
[00:05.87]but he has learned¹ to do without it.
[00:08.74]Section 1 Before You Read
[00:12.46]PAIRWORK
[00:14.62]1 Accidents can sometimes happen more
[00:17.57]when we do sports.
[00:19.18]Write the letter of each sport next to each
[00:21.99]accident that can happen.
[00:24.46]Section 2 While You Read
[00:27.62]Learning strategy²:
[00:29.45]BE PREPARED TO LEARN
[00:31.71]Always begin any reading with the attitude
[00:34.70]that you are going to learn something.
[00:37.54]You may learn some interesting
[00:39.54]or useful information.
[00:41.84]And you will definitely³ learn more vocabulary
[00:44.79]that you can use in future.
[00:48.84]He lost his arm in 2003,
[00:51.69]but he has learned to do without it.
[00:55.00]Aron Ralston found himself
[00:56.24]in a very dangerous situation
[00:58.84]while climbing in Utah in April 2003.
[01:03.18]But Aron--a  27-year-old American with a deep
[01:06.39]interest in mountain climbing
[01:08.35]was not ready to die that day.
[01:10.73]And in order to save his own life,
[01:12.61]he cut off his arm.
[01:15.15]On that April day,
[01:16.89]Aron's arm became trapped⁴ under a 2,000-kilo
[01:20.54]rock that fell on him while he was climbing
[01:22.59]alone in the mountains.
[01:25.05]Since he couldn't free his arm,
[01:27.05]he lay for five days and hoped to be found.
[01:31.14]But when his water ran out,
[01:33.32]he knew that he would have to do
[01:34.97]something to save his own life.
[01:37.40]With his pocketknife,
[01:38.91]he cut off his right arm below the elbow.
[01:42.07]Then, with his left arm,
[01:44.34]he bandaged⁵ himself to stop the bleeding⁶,
[01:47.18]and after that he climbed down
[01:48.78]the mountainside to find help.
[01:51.65]As an adventurer, Aron has learned to take risks
[01:55.06]This is part of the excitement of doing
[01:56.98]dangerous sports.
[01:58.54]He has had many accidents in his life:
[02:01.17]once, he had to dig⁷ himself out of an avalanche⁸
[02:04.54]He nearly lost his life that time,
[02:07.07]but his will to survive saved him again.
[02:10.08]Have his accidents taught Aron anything?
[02:13.12]After losing his arm,
[02:14.72]he wrote a book called Between a Rock
[02:17.21]and a Hard Place.
[02:19.17]This means⁹ to be in a situation with no escape.
[02:22.40]In his book, Aron tells of the importance of
[02:25.66]making good decisions,
[02:27.43]and of being in control of one's life.
[02:30.55]And what can we learn from his experience?
[02:33.32]Do we have the same spirit as Aron?
[02:36.08]Let's think about it before we find ourselves
[02:39.01]"between a rock and a hard place",
[02:41.29]and before we have to make a decision
[02:43.41]that could mean life or death.
[02:46.91]Section 3 After You Read
[02:50.43]3a Write any new words you found in the reading.
[02:55.22]Look up their meanings in your dictionaries.
[02:58.88]Also write down the information
[03:00.52]that you didn't know before.
[03:02.94]New words and their meanings
[03:05.47]Information I didn't know before
[03:08.63]3b Read the statements¹⁰ and circle "TURE",
[03:12.73]"FALSE" or "DON'T KNOW".
[03:15.67]Section 4 Go For It!
[03:18.50]Discuss these questions in groups.
[03:21.43]If you have time!
[03:23.40]Do you know other people who once were
[03:26.23]"between a rock and a hard place"?
[03:29.27]How did they solve their problems?
[03:31.86]Share your story with your group.
[03:33.18]
