Paragraph 3 Facts and dangers
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
condition
s 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.
1. succeed in doing sth
成功做某事
2. succeed with sth
在某方面获得成功
1. risk one’s life
冒生命危险
2. take the risk of doing sth
冒险做某事
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
force
s of
nature
.

It is 8:30 a.m. at the Chengdu
Research
Base
. Lin Wei and the other panda
keeper
s are
preparing
the milk
for
the
baby pandas’ breakfast. At 9:00 a.m., they
find that most of the babies are already
awake
and hungry. When the babies see
the keepers, they
run over
with
excitement
and some
of them even
walk into
their friends and
fall over
!
“They’re so cute and lovely. I
take care of
them like they’re my own babies. I wash,
feed and
play with
them every day.
They’re very
special
to
me.”
Lin Wei loves
her job, but it
is a difficult one.
Pandas do not have many babies, maybe only one
every two years
. The babies often
die from
illness
es and do not live very long. Adult pandas
spend
more than 12 hours a day
eating
about 10 kilos of bamboo. Many years ago, there were
a lot more
bamboo forests and pandas in China, but then humans started to
cut down
the forests. Scientists say there are now fewer than 2,000 pandas living in the
remaining
forests. Another 200
or so
live in zoos or research centers in China and other countries.
An education program in Chengdu teaches children in cities about pandas and other
endangered
animals. They
send
people
to
schools to tell children about the importance of saving these animals. The children sing songs or make
artwork
about pandas and other
wild
animals. Teaching children is one way to help save pandas.
The Chinese
government
is also planting more bamboo trees so there will be more forests for pandas to live in.
We all hope that in the future there will be a lot more pandas than now.
