Morton Hunt writes about the background information when taking one step and taking another step

It was when Morton Hunt was six or seven years old, recalling an experience when he was eight years old.

At that time, Morton Hunt was almost over his life, reminiscing about that experience as a child.

Ren Ran remembers it very clearly, and it has an endless aftertaste when I think about it.

Morton Hunt, American writer. In his early years, he served in the Air Force and served as an Air Force pilot. During World War II, he flew planes on reconnaissance missions to Germany.

American writer Morton Hunter was frail and cowardly since childhood, and never dared to take risks. At one point, he followed his partner up a 20-meter cliff. When he climbed to the stone shelf two-thirds of the way to the top of the cliff, he trembled with fear, and could not go up or down.

Instead of helping, the other friends laughed at him and went home. Fear and fatigue made him numb and unable to move, crying on the stone shelf. In the twilight, his father's flashlight shone on Hunter.

In the dark, Hunter is in a state of panic and may fall at any moment. In the face of danger, the father, who knew his son's temperament, did not go up to the stone frame to carry him down, nor did he carry a ladder to let him down, or hang him down with a rope, but asked him to climb down from the stone frame himself. Others may think that my father is too adventurous and hard-hearted.

So how did his father help him get rid of his face? The father did not scold him, but first comforted him and stabilized his emotions, "Come down, child, dinner is ready." Hunt cried and said

If I don't go down, I'll fall, I'll fall to my death! The father said, "Don't think about how far it is, just think that you are taking a small step, you can do it, and look at the place where the light of my flashlight shines, can you see the rock under the stone shelf?"

See. Hunter said. Then his father instructed him to climb the first step.

Very good. "Now move your right foot and move it a little lower to the right, where there's another foothold. Hunter did so, and his confidence grew, "I can do it."

Hunter moved only one small step at a time, slowly climbing down the cliff and finally plunging into his father's strong arms. Although he cried for a while, he felt a great sense of accomplishment with it. This experience enlightened Hunter to a philosophy of life:

Whenever you feel discouraged about the future, don't think about the rocks far below, but focus on the first step, take this step and take the next step until you reach where you want to go.

Hunt's father's godson art is superb. He knew that Hunter needed to exercise his courage and increase his methods and experience in overcoming difficulties. He can go up the cliff and carry Hunter down to get out of danger, but what if Hunter encounters danger in his life in the future?

You can't rely on your father forever, you can only rely on Hunter himself.

Reminiscing about an escape experience in my childhood, it contains the philosophy of life, and I often encounter unexpected difficulties on the road of life.

He went on a mission to be a detective in Germany, and the plane didn't, and it was a difficult task, and he divided the mission into 25,000 takeoffs, flying to the islands, and returning for 20 minutes, and he succeeded, and when people asked him why he succeeded, he told him about his childhood.

This article is about Morton Hunt at the age of 65 and reminiscing about his experience of climbing a cliff at the age of 8.

The specific operation is: first find a foothold that Hunter can reach, then guide him to move a small step, and then find a foothold that can be reached, and move another small step. The foothold should be steady, the steps should be small, one step should be taken, and one more step should be taken to reach the destination.

Take a step, take another step", is the experience of the people who have come over, on the road of life, difficulties and obstacles are not terrible, big difficulties can be turned into zero, turn difficulties into easy, take a step, take another step, you will be able to overcome all difficulties.

"One Step at a Time, One Step at a Time" is his memory.

He went on a mission to be a detective in Germany, and the plane didn't, and it was a difficult task, and he divided the mission into 25,000 takeoffs, flying to the islands, and returning for 20 minutes, and he succeeded, and when people asked him why he succeeded, he told him about his childhood.

That is, "One Step at a Time, One Step at a Time".

1.Why is "sultry" highlighted at the beginning?

The first paragraph is about how the children would have thought of climbing the cliff, writing about the hot and humid weather, and writing about the motivation, they want to climb the cliff to cool down.

2.In the last paragraph, he says, "I am discouraged when I see the future", and he says, "until I reach the place I want to go", and if the place I want to go is "clear", why do we say "the future is uncertain"?

"Promising horizons" here means not knowing how to get to where I want to be, and there are many difficulties and difficulties.

3 "I cautiously stretched out my left foot to probe the rock, and stepped on it. Can the word "probe" in this sentence be changed to the word "station"? Why?

No, the word probe reflects that I am very careful, and deeply portrays the characteristics of my frail and timid, and only by using the word that I am very careful in this action can I lead to the following process of my confidence and finally successfully escaped.
