Read the article and match each paragraph with the main ideas. 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 ofChina. 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 I960, 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.

Feel free to ask me anything on today’s Great Wall tour. 在今天的长城游中,大家尽管问我任何问题, 不要拘束。 feel free是英语口语中一个常用表达。若有人 让你feel free to do something,就是让你无需拘 束,只管按照自己的意愿去做某事。 e.g. A: Can I use your bathroom? 我可以用一下你的卫生间吗? B: Yes, feel free.可以,请随意。 Language points2. As far as I know, there are no man-made objects as big as this. 据我所知,再没有像它这样大的人造物体了。 as far as I know 是一个固定的表达方式,还可以 说so far as I know,意思是“据我所知”。 例如: As far as I know, Jack’s got twin sisters. 就我所知,杰克有一对孪生姐妹。 They’re not coming today, so far as I know. 他们今天不来了— 就我所知是这样的。3. the Ming Great Wall 明长城 “明长城”是指明朝时期为了防御北方游 牧民族的骚扰,历时一百多年在北部地区 修筑的军事防御工程。这段长城东起辽宁 虎山,西至甘肃嘉峪关,从东向西横贯多 个省、 直辖市、自治区,全长约8850千 米,是现存历代长城遗迹中最完整、最坚 固的。4.
