The last days before Easter(复活节) were busy and exciting ones.    Father and Jancsi whitewashed the house inside and out.    They painted the window boxes and shutters a bright blue.    Jancsi and Kate selected the largest, most perfect eggs, and they were laid aside for decorating(装饰).    Mother made piles and piles of cakes.    Some of them looked like birds or fruits, some looked like stars and crosses.

Evening Mother got out her dye pots(染缸) and the interesting work of making dozens of fancy(花色的) Easter eggs kept the family busy. There were two days to decorate them.    The plainer ones were dyed first.    When they dried, Father and Jancsi scratched patterns on them with penknives.    The fancy ones were lots of work.    Mother had tiny funnel(漏斗), with hot wax(腊) in it.    With this she drew different patterns on the white eggs.    After the wax hardened, she dipped them in the dye.    Then she scratched off the wax and there was the beautiful design left on white on the coloured egg.    In this way she could make the most beautiful designs by covering up parts of the pattern again with the wax before each dipping.    The finished ones were placed in baskets and put on a shelf until Easter morning.

Mr. Yuichiro Miura, the Japanese skier, told reporters in Katmandu today how he narrowly escaped death in his attempt to ski down Mount Everest earlier this month.
His descent(下降) began at 25,918 ft above sea level and ended when he fell 100yardsshort of crevasse(冰隙), he said.    In the final seconds, as he rushed down the mountainside at about 50 miles an hour, avoided rocks in his path, he believed that he was about to be killed.    The fall saved his life.

Mr. Miura's 1.8-mile ski run on May 6 was carefully organized.    He first climbed 820 ft above the starting point for an easy 30-second run down to the South Col in normal skiing conditions on excellent snow.    Within a few hours, after spending more than 90 minutes checking his equipment, he began the fast descent.

He said that he began the downhill run as soon as winds decreased and within five seconds he was rushing at 100 miles an hour.    The 40-drgree slope soon narrowed suddenly, with exposed rocks on either side, and the winds blew him from both sides.
