“We were amazed at what we were seeing on a hot summer’s day, when a group of people with Parkinson’s disease (帕金森病) began rock climbing on the Carderock Cliffs of Maryland. Yes, rock climbing! It’s all part of their therapy (疗法),” says Molly Cupka, the no-nonsense instructor and cheerleader for this community of courageous climbers. She started this program, called Up ENDing Parkinson’s, as a non-profit 12 years ago.

There’s no cure for Parkinson’s disease, which usually affects mobility, coordination, balance, and even speech. Jon Lessin was diagnosed (诊断) in 2003. He was once an all-around athlete. About 12 years ago, he retired because of Parkinson’s disease. It was Lessin who first had that big idea to use rock climbing as a therapy for Parkinson’s disease. “I wanted to do big-movement exercise,” he said. “And I found Molly Cupka at this gym.”

Lessin proposed the idea to Molly Cupka, who runs the Sportrock Climbing Centers in Alexandria, Virginia.

She thought it was worth a try, given the sport requires participants to plan ahead, and to know where to position their hands and feet. “I wish I could go into the brain and see what’s happening while people climb,” Molly Cupka said.

There’s no evidence that climbing slows the progress of Parkinson’s disease, but Molly Cupka joined forces with Marymount University last year to study patients climbing for the first time. “We have people literally walking and carrying weights, you know, walking and looking, multitasking,” she said, The study found that, in so many words, if you climb, you may walk better.

Marymount University’s Center for Optimal Aging studies on physical and psychosocial effects of rock climbing on individuals with Parkinson’s disease. Mark de Mulder, a musician and former director of the National Geospatial Program, doesn’t need a study to prove what climbing does for him. “It allows me to say, ‘All right, take that, Parkinson’s! I’m doing this!’ It just makes me feel stronger, and I’m fighting it. I’m doing something about it.”

Many of the climbers have become friends who climb together several times a week, and they’ve become a support group, Parkinson’s Pals, who encourage each other.

4. How may people feel when seeing those with Parkinson’s disease rock climbing?

A. Astonished. B. Confused. C. Annoyed. D. Embarrassed.

5. Why did Molly Cupka decide to try rock climbing therapy?

A. It’s a low-impact exercise. B. It requires no planning.

C. It involves multitasking. D. It’s an individual activity.

6 What did the study reveal about rock climbing to people with Parkinson’s disease?

A. It improves their social life. B. It boosts their walking ability.

C. It completely cures the disease. D. It slows the progress of the disease.

7. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Rock Climbing as a Sport

B. Living with Parkinson’s Disease

C. The Impact of Exercise on Parkinson’s Disease

D. Fighting Parkinson’s Disease with Rock Climbing

C
