Marco met Kubla Khan (忽必烈). Kubla Khan asked Marco to work for him. Marco then became his helper and traveled all over China.
　　After many years, Marco Polo came back to Italy. He wrote a book about China. It told all of the strange and wonderful things. But very few people believed him. No one else had been to China. They had no idea where China was. Almost everyone thought he'd made it all up.
　　Many years later, other Europeans came to China. Then they found that Marco was right. Christopher Columbus read Marco Polo's book, and he believed it. He tried to sail to that part of the world. You know what happened. He found America after his long trip by ship.

14．　　Rock climbing (攀岩) did not become a sport until the 1900s. Now it has become a popular activity.
　　If you have ever done rock climbing, you will know that it is not a very easy sport. It depends on both your body and mind. Both indoor rock climbing and outdoor rock climbing need a lot of practice.
　　To climb successfully, you must know about some rules. One important rule is to always have three parts of your body on the rock face. Another important rule is that your arms only hold you close to the rock face while your legs are pushing you up. The third rule is that the closer you are to the rock face, the easier it is to climb.
　　Rock climbing is a wonderful sport. Once you start to learn how to climb, you'll find more fun. If you like games such as playing chess, you may also love rock climbing.Because they are nearly the same in the way of thinking. For anyone who wants to be in good shape, rock climbing is a fun and good way. Anyone who enjoys difficult games and loves sports could think of rock climbing as a new hobby.
