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. 英国登山者乔治·马洛里曾这样记述攀登珠峰的体验：“我们从这次冒险活动中得到的是纯粹的快乐……我们活着不是为了吃饭和赚钱。我们吃饭和赚钱是为了能够享受生活。这才是生活的意义和目标。”不幸的是，1924年马洛里在登山过程中身亡，他的遗体在多年后才被发现。至今人们也不知道他生前是否成功登顶了珠峰。 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.” 在2011年，美国登山者艾伦·阿内特曾说过与马洛里类似的话，那年他攀登了珠穆朗玛峰，之后又准备去攀登世界各地其他的高山。“登山让你聚焦于对你而言重要的事，”他补充道，“纵使有一千个理由让你回头，但总有一个让你继续前行。你必须专注于一个对你而言最重要也最独特的理由。当你想放弃的时候，它会迫使你深入审视自己的内心，并思考自己的身体和心灵是否足够坚强继续向前。” Read Para 4-6 and finish the tasks.

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”. 攀登珠穆朗玛峰的大多数尝试要么大获全胜，要么彻底失败，这一冒险行为的背后是否有科学解释？最近的研究表明，冒险可能是人类天性中的一部分，而一些人比其他人更愿意去冒险。心理学家弗兰克·法利曾花费数年时间研究那些高空跳伞、飚车以及攀登珠峰的人。他把这些人的人格特征称为“T型人格”，“T”代表“刺激”。 Speaking to theLA Times about the “Type T” personalities, Farley said, “They’ll say, ‘I’m not taking risks, I’m an expert...’ They don’t want to die and they don’t expect to die.” 法利在《洛杉矶时报》上谈到“T型人格”时说：“他们会说，‘我并不是在冒险，我是这方面的专家……’。他们并不想死，也不认为自己会死。” Research also suggests that our desire to seek risks can be connected to how much we expect to benefit from the result. 研究还表明，我们对于冒险的渴望与我们期待从中获得多少收益有关。 Read the para.7 and answer risks benefits climbing Qomolagma What are the benefits and risks of climbing Qomolagma?
