阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在文章后1-10小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。

Some people dislike hiking because they think it is too difficult. However, sometimes it can really be as easy as going out to the park and walking by the river. The places for hiking should be far away from the cars and the noise. Here’s some useful advice for people to go hiking.

First of all, when you choose your first hike, you should be careful. If you choose a too easy one, you’ll still have a nice day outside to enjoy. However, if you choose a too hard one, you may be very tired and can’t have a good time.

Secondly, it’s good for a beginner to join a group. The people in a group can help each other. If you decide to take a hike by yourself, you should prepare as much as possible. You should wear right shoes to make your feet comfortable. Also, take a map with you. If not , you’ll fail to find your way home.

At last, don’t forget to take a mobile phone or a whistle(口哨). When you are in trouble, you can use it to get help. A pleasant hike will give you a sense of freedom(自由) and you will also have a clear mind(头脑) and then return to your studies after it.

Something about hiking
