Qomolangma — the Most
Dangerous Mountain in the World?
One of the world’s most dangerous sports is mountain climbing, and one of the most popular places for this is the Himalayas. The Himalayas run along the southwestern part of China.
Of all the mountains, Qomolangma rises the highest and is the most famous. It is 8,844.43 meters high and so is very dangerous
to climb. Thick clouds cover the top and snow can fall very hard. Even more serious difficulties include freezing weather conditions and heavy storms. It is also very hard to take in air as you get near the top.
The first people to reach the top were Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary on May 29,1953. The first Chinese team did so in 1960, while the first woman to succeed was Junko Tabei from Japan in 1975.
Why do so many climbers risk their lives? One of the main reasons is because people want to challenge themselves in the face of difficulties.
The spirit of these climbers shows us that we should never give up trying to achieve our dreams. It also shows that humans can sometimes be stronger than the forces of nature.

三、阅读理解
As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize. They can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class.
Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Have you ever tried to realize your dream?
Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that realizing your dreams is life's biggest challenge.You may think you're not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from achieving your dreams.
In fact, everyone can achieve his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don't let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.
You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice?cream means you can buy a new book.
As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.
