I wanted to quit climbing, In fact, Ihated it at that moment, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there at the top can you see all of the nice things, which is just like your life.”At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got new hope and confidence.

Chatting online is now a national pastime(消遣）in China, especially among the post-90s and post-00s. To some people, however, online chats can seem like a kind of polite conversation. But there are some hidden rules and standards, like the following.Get to the PointWhen sending a friend request(好友请求), include your real name and identifying(可识别的) information. Remember, everybody’s time is valuable. If there’s something you want, say it straight. Never send an “Are you there?” without any follow up messages. The quicker that you get to the point, them more likely the other person is to reply.Send the Right ThingsPlease send texts, not voice messages. It might be easier for you to speak than type, but what about the person on the other end? They may be unable to listen to a 59-second message right now. Also, never send personal information by voice message it is hard to write down. Emojis, GIFs and memes can save the day when you find yourself in an embarrassing(尴尬的）conversation, or words fail you.Try to UnderstandYou can always tell a person’s feeling by their text messages. If the person you’re talking to says “Good night” or “I’m going to take a shower.” that’s probably not what they’re actually going to do, it is just an excuse to stop talking to you. If someone waits for longer than three seconds before saying “Yes”, they probably really mean “No”. If you receive these emojis from friends who are older, read them literally(照字面地）(as a smile, a wave or a laugh). For the post-90s and post-00s generation, however, they could be speechlessness.31.According to the passage, what can you do if there’s something you want when you’re chatting online?A.
