Qomolangma is very famous and it is higher than any other mountain in the
world.Its newest height is 8，848.86 meters，which was announced on December
8th，2020.At the height of 8，000 meters，there is only 30％ O2 and the human
body can only stand this height for a few days，so it is dangerous for humans to climb
higher.But many climbers want to challenge themselves in the face of difficulties.As
Alan Arnette，a mountain climber from America，said，“Climbing mountains
drives you to look deep inside yourself，and lets you find out whether you are healthy
enough and strong enough in mind when you want to stop.”

It's a good thing that Qomolangma gives people a chance to become strong-
willed（意志坚强的） when trying to achieve their dreams. ▲ because many
people leave their waste behind，such as water bottles and plastic bags.They cause the
environmental pollution for Qomolangma.Many local farmers said their sheep and
cows would die after eating the plastic bags and it was too difficult to clean them
up.Luckily，many volunteers from all over the world came to Qomolangma to join in
the clean-up activity.A volunteer advised，“When climbing Qomolangma，
mountain climbing lovers should always take good care of themselves，and at the
same time，take good care of Qomolangma.”
