But a year later, she 24 that mountain climber. Soon the young woman who hadn’t even 25 was standing on the 10,151-foot Mount Bertha. “Once we gave up our planned 26 due to storms and took a steep path instead,” she recalled.

Bradford was a trained cartographer(地图绘制员), and the couple took on the 38 charting project, which took seven years and nearly 700 helicopter trips. They reached Nepal to 39 Mount Qomolangma in 1984. Four years later, the work was 40 and published in National Geographic.

23-year-old Taleigh Loven walked downstairs to her graduation party last October. She was 21 balloons, treats and congratulations from her family.

Mike has 33 himself in work since graduating high school. He always felt like college was only 34 if one was studying to become a doctor or a lawyer. If it was 35 going to be a four-year party, he said, it would be better to
36 it and not get into debt.
The 37 part about the whole thing, Mike said, was during 38 midterm seasons when his family would constantly ask him for help with tricky school-related issues. He had his own 39 as well, but he couldn’t tell them. That, he said, 40 many late nights at the computer.

卷10:
Barbara Washburn’s life atop(在……顶上) the world’s highest mountains began with a job tip from her mailman in 1939. The position he 21 — as a secretary for Bradford Washburn, director of a museum — didn’t 22 her. She didn’t want to work in that museum or work for a 23 mountain climber.
But a year later, she 24 that mountain climber. Soon the young woman who hadn’t even 25 was standing on the 10,151-foot Mount Bertha. “Once we gave up our planned 26 due to storms and took a steep path instead,” she recalled.
Barbara became the first woman to 27 the Mount Hayes in 1941 with Bradford and their team. She took the
28 along a particularly dangerous path, because the team felt she’d be 29 enough to pull up if the ground broke beneath her. She tried to stay 30 and confident, but she was trembling 31 as climbing ahead. Fortunately, she didn’t slip and everyone 32 safely behind her.
In 1947, Barbara made the hardest 33 during her life — leaving her children at home and climbing Mount McKinley. After 34 nearly two months, she made it, and no woman followed in her 35 for another 20 years. “Climbing Mount McKinley was not the last 36 of my life”, she wrote in her memoir(回忆录). “ 37 , my life has been filled with many dangerous journeys.”
Bradford was a trained cartographer(地图绘制员), and the couple took on the 38 charting project, which took seven years and nearly 700 helicopter trips. They reached Nepal to 39 Mount Qomolangma in 1984. Four years later, the work was 40 and published in National Geographic.
