We human like to conquer.For the same reason that soccer players want to hold the World Cup trophy(奖杯) and tennis players crave a Grand Slam win,mountaineers dream of reaching the highest peak on the planet - Mount.
"Everybody wants to stand on top of the world," Mirza Ali from Pakistan who had just "conquered" Mount Qomolangma,told the Los Angeles times.
However,this desire to conquer has become so strong that we have begun to travel in the wrong direction.
During the climbing season in 2019- from March to May at least 11 climbers died in the Himalayas,making it one of the worst seasons on record And the fact that/many of the climbers were inexperienced is one of the major factors (因素) contributing to the tragedy/according to USA Today.
"They don't train very hard.They underestimate(低估) [Qomolangma]," Jangbu Sherpa,who has been working as a guide on Mount Qomolangma since 2006,told NBC News. "There are lots of climbers who just want to check the box so that they can say they've been to the top of the world."
This ignorant attitude of climbers- also leads to other problems - apart from putting their own lives at risk,of course.According to HuffPost,the mountain's cleaning group collected 12 tons of trash - including food wrappers(包装袋),and oxygen tanks - left behind this climbing season.
Perhaps what we should do now is restore meaning to the activity itself - real meaning.
"When I did make it to the summit,what I realized is that standing on top of a mountain doesn't change you and doesn't change the world," Alison Levine,who reached the peak of Mount Qomolangma in 2010,told the NPR. "It's really about the journey.The journey is the most important thing on any mountain."

3.Dear Laura,
Thanks for letting us to stay at your seaside house. Now, you might have heard from your neighbors about which happened on Saturday evening. When I was out a walk, my younger son, Tom, played football before your house. He made so many noise that the neighbors got quite angrily. Even worse, Tom broke one of the window of Mr. Wilson's house. Tom and I apologized to all the neighbors for the unhappy happenings, but promised to have the broken window repair soon. Tom said that we would not do such silly things any more. I am glad that your neighbors had forgiven us. They are really nice people.
Yours,
Betty发布:2025/1/30 8:0:1组卷:12引用:2难度:0.5
