The world’s greatest climbers have always been drawn to Mount Qomolangma,but in trying to climb it,many have been lured(吸引) to their deaths.There are some other mountains that are more difficult to climb and can offer a greater challenge,but because it is the world’s highest mountain,Qomolangma has a special place in our imagination.
Often climbers hire guides,who are skilled and experienced mountaineers.They work out together the route to take and the places to set up camps.As the air is so thin near the top,climbers need to bring oxygen with them,which adds greatly to the weight that must be carried.In recent years,small groups of climbers have made attempts to conquer Mount Qomolangma without oxygen and guides.Their daring method is travelling fast and staying in temporary shelters as they make their way up and down.
As the mountain is extremely steep,climbers drive spikes(长钉) into cracks in the rock and pull each other up with ropes.They must be very careful because a loose stone or even a loud noise can start an avalanche(雪崩), burying those who are caught in the path or sweeping them to death.In addition,climbers must be alert to the weather because it can change suddenly for the worse.Blizzards(暴风雪) often strike with little warning,forcing climbers to hide in the shelter until the danger has passed.
Climbers are often optimists.They believe they will be able to reach the top.However,when their physical condition or the weather becomes worse,they have to ask themselves if it would be worthwhile to continue.Their state of mind plays a big part in this decision,which sometimes must be made when they are only a few hundred feet from the summit(顶峰).Many chose to continue,which cost them their lives.

Many students who want to study in the U.S.say they have little chance of admission to an American college or university because of poor English skills.But what if that barrier is removed from the application process?It is called conditional admission,and it can pave the way for foreign students who are seeking American higher education.
Over the past decade,more colleges or universities have started using conditional admission to help these students.If these schools think an applicant has other attributes(特质) that make up for a lack of language skills,they will accept him into the conditional-admission program,which means that the applicant will be admitted to a college or university if he can successfully complete further English-language training.Conditional admission is generally offered to academically qualified international applicants whose English abilities are lower than what’s required by the colleges or universities for regular,or unconditional admission.
Many international students prefer to study English in their native countries to be close to home and save money until they can take part in a traditional degree program.But universities which offer conditional admission and let students start their degree program once they complete the highest level of the language program can help students get used to American colleges.Cultural differences in teaching styles between schools back home and schools in the U.S.can be addressed.Also,while living on an American college campus surrounded by English speakers,students often improve their language skills faster.
On the other hand,conditional admission can be frustrating(令人沮丧的) for some students because the students’ English ability is the only factor preventing them from being normally admitted to a university.Furthermore,conditional admission can be burdensome(负担沉重的),as the students will likely need to complete an intensive English-language program before they enroll in(注册) classes that count towards the degree.
