阅读下列四篇短文，
从每小题所给的A.B.C.D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
They are the sort of friends who are so close they trust each
other with their lives. If one falls, the other is there to catch
them.
They are Wellman, w hose legs were permanently injured nine
years ago in a rock-climbing accident, and Corbett ,an experienced
rock climber. Together, they climbed up Half Dome, the famous 2,
000-foot rock in the Yosemite National Park, through one of the
most difficult routes(路线).
During the climb, Corbett took t
he lead, hit in the metal spikes(
尖状物) that
guided the ropes and climbed up. Then, after Wellman pulled himself
up the rope, Corbett went down to remove the spikes and climbed up
again. This process was repeated time and again inch by inch, for
13 days.
Wellman’s job was not easy either. He got himself up the rope
through upper body strength alone. In all, Wellman figured that he
had done 5,000 pull-ups up the rope on the climb.
However, when the two men first met, they never talked about
climbing, “He knew that was how I got injured”, Wellman said. Until
one day Wellman decided that he wanted to climb again and they
started training.
Their climb of Half Dome was not all smooth. At one point,
pieces of rock gave away, and Corbett dropped down quickly. Wellman
locked their rope in place, stopping the fall at 20 feet. His quick
action probably saved his friend’s life.
“Your partner can save your life---you can save your
partner’s life.” Wellman said as the pair received congratulations
from friends. “There are real close ties.”
