The mountain was high and it was cold. Snow and ice covered everything and it was
dangerous. I hid in my tent as the storm came.
"You'll never make it to the top," everyone said, "No woman has ever climbed this mountain
and only a few men have done it."
I was sure that I would be the first woman to climb up to the top because I had prepared for
years. I had bought the best equipment (设备), studied the mountain and trained for years before
the climb.
When I woke up the next morning, the wind had stopped. I went out of my tent and looked up
at the mountain. Everything was white and quiet.
“I'll make it to the top today," I thought to myself. I started from the slope(斜坡). It was a
beautiful day. The sun looked huge, and I felt like I was on top of the world. I was climbing
quickly. Everything was going well. All of a sudden, I had a fall. I started to slide down the
mountain. I went down slowly at first, but later, I started to slide very fast.
After some time, I came to a stop. I thought I must be hurt. I tried moving, and found I was
fine. It was such a miracle(奇迹)! I got up and looked at the mountain. I had slid all the way to
where I started. I couldn't believe it, but thankfully, I was alive. I started back up the mountain.
Three days later, I made it to the top. It was a beautiful day and I had a wonderful view of
everything around me.
I climbed to the top of the mountain at last. My careful preparations and great courage helped
me to succeed in the end.

It is well-known that silk was discovered in China. It is wonderfully strong, light and soft. As
one of the best materials(材料) for clothes,silk has a perfect look and feel that no other materials
can match.
There is a story about how silk was discovered. Lei Zu, the wife of Huang Di, was having tea
under a mulberry tree when a silkworm cocoon(蚕茧)fell into her cup. As she tried to take the
cocoon out,it started to unwind(展开)and the "line” seemed endless. She realized that the
strong line could be used to make clothes. Then Lei Zu taught her people how to raise silkworms
and how to get silk. In this way, the silk industry was born.
For hundreds of years after that, silk was only used by rich people. It was a symbol of identity
and status(身份和地位).With the development of the silk industry, more silk was produced. It
was no longer just for rich people. In the Han Dynasty, silk was transported as
far away as Spain, Rome and many other countries. The trade road was famously known as the Silk
Road, which connected China with the rest of the world.
Today, silk can be used for many kinds of things, not just for clothes but also for paintings,
writing brushes, kites and even fishing nets. Wherever silk goes around the world, it is always
warmly received.
