British historian Jacob Bronowski once wrote, “Man masters nature not by force, but by understanding.” This is especially for extreme climber Alex Honnold, who climbed California's El Capitan by himself, without any safety ropes(绳子), in 2017. The New York Times called it“one of the greatest athletic feats(功绩)of any kind, ever.”
Now you can watch him do it. The documentary Free Solo, which hit Chinese mainland cinemas on Sept 6, shows Honnold’s brave journey up the 914-meter high mountain. The film won the 2019 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in February. In it, Honnold gives us some useful advice:“You’ll always feel fear, but over time you’ll realize the only way to truly manage your fear is to broaden your comfort zone. It means that challenging yourself is important.”
In fact, free climbing requires perseverance, control, and concentration. “I’m not thinking about anything when I’m climbing,” Honnold said, “I’m focused on doing what’s in front of me.” This strong focus on the present is a sort of meditation (冥想) that we can use in our daily routines.
While the documentary seemingly praises extreme athletes for pushing the limits of human potential, some are concerned about Honnold risking his own life. “His deed puts great stress on his loved ones, even when he succeeds,” Climbing Magazine noted.
Free Solo seems to say that with enough courage and dedication, one can achieve any goal. However, the movie may also be viewed as the disturbing story of a climber who went against all better judgment and got away with it.

A.It won an Academy Award in 2017.
B.It was adapted from a book about mountain climbing.
C.It introduces famous extreme climbers around the world.
D.It shows how Honnold climbed El Capitan without any protection.
2.How does Honnold deal with his fear?
A.He practices meditation regularly.
B.He does different exercises to help him relax.
C.He keeps taking on new challenges.
D.He asks experienced climbers for advice.
3.What do Honnold’s loved ones think of him, according to Climbing Magazine?
A.They believe he should value his own life.
B.They think he will reach even greater achievements.
C.They think he should have done more training.
D.They see him as an idol.
