5. How do you understand the sentence “Like winning in the Olympic Games, climbing a mountain such as Mount Qomolangma is a great personal achievement”?
Mountain climbing itself means exploring human possibilities and every success proves the conqueror’s courage, endeavor and ability.
6. After the first successful climbing, why did so many people still want to climb Mount Qomolangma? Different people represent different countries and different “number ones”. Read from paragraph 6 to paragraph 7 and finish the following cloze.
The Chinese made their first successful attempt(首次成功攀登) in 1960. The team members _ included (包括) Gongbu, Wang Fuzhou and Qu Yinhua. It was dark when they reached the summit (到达顶峰). Thus they were unable to take photos (没能够拍到照片) to produce evidence. On their return, they were praised (被颂扬为) as national heroes. On May 27, 1975, another team arrived at the peak (到达顶峰) of Mount Qomolangma from its northern side. Over the past 40 years, 29 other Chinese people have climbed (已经攀登) Mount Qomolangma.
