What’s the main idea of the first paragraph
What’s the function of the first paragraph
1 Last year, hundreds of people spent good money on an experience that they knew would include crowds,
discomfort and danger. Many would
become sick, due to the extreme cold
and low air pressure, a few would
even lose their lives. Yet, despite all this, by the end of the trip many were already planning to return. For these
people, chmbing Qomolangma is an
experience like no other, making some feel weak and others, powerful.
What’s the main idea of the first paragraph
Although there are many risks in climbing Qomolangma, it is still a special experience.
What’s the function of the first paragraph
To introduce the topic.
2 British mountain climber George Mallory wrote of climbing Qomolangma, "What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy... We do not live to eat and make money. We eat and make money to be able to enjoy life. That is what life means and what life is for."Sady, Mallory would die on the mountain in 1924, although his body would not be found until many years later. It is still not known if he succeeded in reaching the top of Qomolangma before it took his life.
What’s the main idea of para. 2-3
3 In 2011, words similar to those of Mallory were spoken by American mountain climber Alan Arnette, who climbed Qomolangma in that year and was going to climb other high mountains around the world. “It brings into focus what’s important to you.” He added, “There are a thousand reasons to turn around and only one to keep going. You really have to focus on the one reason that’s most important and unique to you. It forces you to look deep inside yourself and figure out if you really have the physical, as well as mental, toughness to push when you want to stop.”
What’s the main idea of para. 2-3
Subjective reasons why people climb Qomolangma.
4 With the majority of attempts to climb Qomolangma resulting either in total success or failure, is there also a scientific reason behind this risk-taking Recent studies indicate that risk-taking may be part of human nature, with some of us more likely to take risks than others. Psychologist Frank Farley has spent years studying people who jump out of planes and drive fast cars, as well as those who climb Qomolangma. He refers to the
What’s the main idea of para. 4-6
personalities of these people as “Type T”, with the “T” standing for “thrill”.
5 Speaking to the LA Times about the “Type T” personalities, Farley said, “They’ll say, I’m not taking risks, I'm an expert...'They don't want to die and they don’t expect to die.”
6 Research also suggests that our desire to seek risks can be connected to how much we expect to benefit from the result.

What’s the function of para 2-para 6
