Paragraph 1 Last year, hundreds of people spent good money on an experience that they knew would include crowds, discomfort and danger. Many would become sick, due to the extreme cold and low air pressure, and a few would even lose their lives. Yet, despite all this, by the end of the trip many were already planning to return. 1._________the heavy snow, the school bus arrived on time. 2.______ ___he was ill, he attended the meeting. Despite Although Paragraph 2 British mountain climber George Mallory wrote of climbing Qomolangma, “What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy...We do not live to eat and make money. We eat and make money to be able to enjoy life. That is what life means and what life is for.” Sadly, Mallory would die on the mountain in 1924, although his body would not be found until many years later.It is still not known if he succeeded in reaching the top of Qomolangma before it took his life. 1.__________ (exhaust), he finished the marathon. 2.__________ (fortunate), the accident happened but no one was hurt. Exhausted Fortunately Paragraph 3 In 2011, words similar to those of Mallory were spoken by American mountain climber Alan Arnette, who climbed Qomolangma in that year and was going to climb other high mountains around the world. “It brings into focus what’s important to you.”He added, “There are a thousand reasons to turn around and only one to keep going.”You really have to focus on the one reason that’s most important and unique to you. It forces you to look deep inside yourself and figure out if you really have the physical, as well as mental, toughness to push when you want to stop. The steak was so tough that I couldn’t cut it. She’s mentally tough and never gives up. She’s having a tough time right now. Paragraph 4 With the majority of attempts to climb Qomolangma resulting either in total success or failure, is there also a scientific reason behind this risk-taking? Recent studies indicate that risk-taking may be part of human nature, with some of us more likely to take risks than others. Psychologist Frank Farley has spent years studying people who jump out of planes and drive fast cars, as well as those who climb Qomolangma. He refers to the personalities of these people as “Type T”, with the “T” standing for “thrill”. ______ (refer) to the newly discovered fossil as “the missing link”, the scientist published a groundbreaking paper. The ancient temple, often ______ (refer) to as the “City of God” by locals, was destroyed in the earthquake. Referring referred Paragraph 6 Research also suggests that our desire to seek risks can be connected to how much we expect to benefit from the result.
