She is one of the youngest people who have arrived on top of Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis, the three highest mountains in Britain.

Climbing isn't new to this schoolgirl. She took her first trip up a mountain in her dad's backpack when she was just six months old! "One of the best parts about this climb was Scafell Pike," said Rebecca. "I've never walked in the dark before, and it was fun seeing all the sheep eyes as they ran around in the dark." Rebecca brought along food, water, a medical kit , a hat, a map, a lamp, a camera to take photos and even a mobile phone in case something went wrong. Along the way, she and her dad had fun by making up mountain songs. "All my friends like to stay inside playing computer games, but I like being outdoors best," says Rebecca. Rebecca also enjoys swimming and skiing. The young climber doesn't plan to stay on flat land for long. She wants to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain in Africa. "And I would like to climb Mount Qomolangma one day, too," she said. Question: What is the distance up and down all these three highest mountains in Britain? - 500 miles - 24 hours' walk - 11,000 feet - 23 hours and 15 minutes' drive

Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Do you know that in some parts of the world, people build temporary hotels made of snow and blocks of ice? These are known as ice hotels. Unlike usual hotels, all the rooms in the ice hotels are made of ice. In some ice hotels, even the glasses for drinks are made of ice blocks. So they only serve cold drinks. Also, hot food is not served in the ice hotels, but guests can eat hot food at places nearby. To keep warm, guests sleep in comfortable sleeping bags on ice blocks that are covered by mattresses and reindeer skins . There are some places in the ice hotels that are heated, such as the bathrooms. This is because, even though it is not as cold in the ice hotels as it is outdoors , indoor temperatures are still very low. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the ice hotels is that they are rebuilt every year. They can be used only during the winter months. The ice hotels melt away when spring arrives. The ice blocks used to build these hotels are from nearby rivers. So, when the ice hotels melt away, they melt back into the rivers. Question: Why are bathrooms heated in the ice hotels? - Guests want to eat in them. - Indoor temperature are very low. - Guests ask the hotels to do that. - It is as cold indoors as it is outdoors.
**Answer**
Indoor temperature are very low.
