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 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. Paragraph 1 Spirit of climbers Paragraph 2 Achievements of climbers Paragraph 3 Facts and dangers Paragraph 1 List four dangers for climbers: thick clouds Snow slide; Freezing weather conditions; Heavy storm; 3b. Read the article again and complete the chart. Paragraph 2 List three achievements: 1953 - Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary were the first to reach the top; 1960 - The first Chinese team did so; 1975 – the Japanese Junko Tabei succeeded doing so. Paragraphs 1 & 3 List four comparisons: most dangerous sport; most popular places; the highest mountain; the most famous mountain Where are the Himalayas? 2. How high is Qomolangma? 3c. Answer the questions using information from the article. The Himalayas run along the southwestern part of China. It is 8,844.43 meters high. 3. Why do so many people try to climb this mountain even though it is dangerous? 4. What does the spirit of the climbers tell us? 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. 1. 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 points 2. 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.

We found the house without difficulty. 我们轻而易举地找到广那座房子。 2 ） include 表示“包括；包含”，是一个及物动词。 例如： Does your price of the bike include this light? 你们的车价包含这 盏 车灯吗？ 5.

Lin Wei and the other panda keepers 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 illnesses 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.
