2 Liu Lianman led the way. He tried four times. Each time, he fell back into the snow. The thin air took his strength away. “I'm not strong enough to try again,” he thought. So he chose to be a “human ladder” for his teammates! He lowered his body and let Qu Yinhua stand on his shoulders. Slowly, bit by bit, Liu stood up and helped Qu climb to the top. Every second was painful, but Liu stood still. And he did the same for Gong Bu. Then he and Wang Fuzhou climbed up with a rope.
3But Liu was too tired to keep going. The team were worried, but they had to carry on. They gave Liu all their oxygen. It was dangerous to climb without oxygen, but they knew Liu needed it. They made every effort through the cold and dark. Hours later, they reached the top of the towering mountain at 4:20 am on 25 May. They were the first Chinese to do so! They were also the first people to climb the difficult North Ridge. What's more, no one had done so without using oxygen!
What difficulties did they experience during the climbing?
The __________ air took their strength away. Liu Lianman tried __________ times but fell back into the snow each time. Later, Liu was too __________ to keep going.

What’s the meaning of the title?
How does the story show “ No ‘I’ in team?
It means everyone in a team should work together;
no one is more important than the team.
Liu Lianman put the team’s success above his own comfort-he became a “human ladder” even when he was in great pain. His teammates gave him all their oxygen,choosing to risk their own safety for him. Together, their actions prove that in a team, on one truly works alone.

What can we learn about teamwork from the story?
We learn that teamwork means everyone contributes in different ways, and that success comes form trust, support and shared goals-not from one person alone.
A true team isn’t measured by who stands on the summit, but by who shoulders others to reach it.
