George Mallory was an English teacher who loved climbing. In 1924, Mallory and a team of British climbers tried to get to the top of Qomolangma, the tallest mountain in the world. No one had ever done it before.
Mallory had already tried to reach the top of Qomolangma in 1921 and 1922 but had failed. In 1924, he tried again. On June 8, 1924, he and another climber, Andrew Irvine, were only a few hundred meters from the top of the mountain. The other members of their team watched as Mallory and Irvine climbed slowly up towards the top. However, the weather was very misty, and soon the two men disappeared into the mist. They would never return.
In 1953, Edmund Hillary from New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay from Nepal finally reached the top of Qomolangma. Most people thought that they were the first men to do this, but some people wondered Mallory and Irvine had got there first.
In 1999, Mallory’s body was found on Qomolangma, about six hundred meters from the top. However, it is still not known whether he and Irvine ever reached the top of the mountain.

A. Mallory reached the top of Qomolangma.
B. Mallory failed to reach the top.
C. Mallory and Irvine disappeared.
D. Mallory returned.
( ) 3．Why was the year 1953 important?
A. Because two men reached the top of Qomolangma in that year.
B. Because Mallory was found in that year.
C. Because Mallory reached the top of Qomolangma in that year.
