"It is something for myself to say "this is a rock from the top", "Jordan Romero from California,
told reporters in Kathmandu.He left for the mountain on Sunday.
If he succeeds, Romero will become the youngest climber to climb the 8,850 meters Everest
Summit.Currently a 16yearold Nepali boy, Temba Tsheri Sherpa, holds the record of being the
world"s youngest climber of Mount Everest.
But Romero, sitting over lunch with his climbing father and stepmother in Kathmandu"s tourist
district of Thamel, said he was not after setting climbing records.
Romero said Mount Qomolangma, that runs across NepalChina border, was part of his goal
to climb the highest mountains on all seven continents.
"It is just a goal, " he said confidently."If I don"t succeed I am okay.I will try again."
Romero has already climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa and Mount McKinley in Alaska among
others.

climbing the giant mountain.

" Romero said of his climb using the northeast ridge (山脊) route on the Chinese side of the mountain.
Over 4,000 climbers have reached the top of Mount Qomolangma since it was first climbed by
New Zealander Sir Edmund Hillary and Nepal"s Tenzing Norgay Sherpa in 1953.Romero said he

parents taught me.For example, when I kept playing jazz records on the player, my father would
think of such music as making noise and replace them with disks of classical music that I always
considered extremely dull.
My mom and dad were also very particular about the friends I went out with, always saying that
"One rotten (腐烂) apple could ruin a whole barrel of apples". When I insisted on sleeping with my
pet dog, they immediately said NO because they thought that I would be bitten by fleas (跳蚤).
These are just a few examples of many of the things that I thought my parents were unreasonable
about.Today, however, I am a father of a boy of sixteen, and I find that I, too, am pressuring my son
with a lot of rules that he seems to find hard to accept.The other day, I noticed that my son"s hair was
too long, so I told him to go to the barber"s and get it cut short.Usually, he is fairly obedient, but this
time he put_his_foot_down."What"s wrong with my long hair?I don"t think you have the right to order
me to cut it short, even if you"re my father!"
When I was a boy, if I had spoken in such a way to my father, he would have taught me a good
lesson.But now we are living in a world with more freedom.My son"s insistence on wearing his long
hair was only an example of the generation gap that existed between us.So I tried to be more
understanding and now he still wears his long hair.
B. listen to jazz
C. be careful about making friends
D. wear long hair
B. The writer"s son often went against him.
C. The writer always obeyed his parents as a child.
D. The writer liked wearing long hair.
B. insisted
C. accepted
D. left
B. no generation gap exists between parents and children
C. parents have the right to order their children
D. parents should show more respect to their children

During his talk, Jack 1 his wallet, pulled out a hundreddollar bill, and said, "Who wants this?"
2 shot up in the audience; people leaned forward to see whom Jack would 3 . But I jumped up,
ran up the 4 to the stage, and grabbed the bill.As I was launching myself in the air, thoughts 5
through my mind-was I about to be humiliated (羞辱) in front of 800 people?Would they 6 security
guards and take me from the stage? 7 my desire for bold action was louder than any 8 voice.
As I got the bill from his hand, he said, "That"s it!We can"t wait for the 9 to come to us.We must
take action to 10 what we want!"
After his talk, I managed to formally meet Jack and boldly asked for his 11 email address.Over
the next months, I sent him emails 12 my vision and dreams with him.He kindly emailed back lots of
encouragement.But my life got 13 with other things.I stopped emailing Jack.
A year later, my dreams had worn away.I thought Jack would inspire me into action, like a giant
14 that would show me the way.
I emailed him, and then again-but got no 15 . As I sat down at my computer to check my emails,
I 16 woke up.What was I doing?I was waiting!Now I remembered the crowd, most likely 17 that
hundreddollar bill, while they sat 18 to their chairs.
Usually we all have a "Jack" for whom we wait-whether it"s a person, a place or a thing.We 19
believe the gifts of life are just around the corner, and that everything will come in a(n) 20 way.So we
don"t try.We give up. But as Wayne Gretzky said: "You"ll always miss 100% of the opportunities you
don"t take!" So I stopped waiting and started my writing career.

For years Tom Anderson"s life was withered up (枯萎) by the memory of his part in a fraternity (友爱, 互助会) adventure that resulted in the death of one of his classmates.He and his wife separated after six years of marriage.Then the news about Tom changed.His wife Betty came back; he earned a fine position.One day he told me what had changed his life."I used to think, "Nothing can undo what I have done." The thought of my guilt would stop me in the middle of a smile or a handshake.It put a wall between my wife and me." "Then I had an unexpected visit from the person I was most afraid to see-the mother of the college classmate who died."Years ago", she said, "I found it in my heart, through prayer, to forgive you. Betty forgave you.So did your friends and employers."She paused, and then said seriously, "You are the one person who hasn"t forgiven Tom Anderson.Who do you think you are to stand out against the people of this town and the Lord Almighty?"I looked into her eyes and found there a_kind_of_permission_to _be_the_person_I_might_have_been_if_her_boy_had_lived.For the first time in my adult life I felt worthy to love and be loved." It is only through forgiveness of our mistakes that we gain the freedom to learn from experience.But forgiving our shortcomings doesn"t mean denying that they exist.On the contrary, it means facing them honestly, realistically. Can a person be allforgiving and still be human?A scientist I know spent four years as a slave laborer in Germany.His parents were killed by Nazi street bullies; his younger sister and older brother were sent to the gas chambers.This is a man who has every reason to hate.Yet he is filled with a love of life that he conveys to everyone who knows him.He explained it to me the other day: "In the beginning I was filled with hatred.Then I realized that in hating I had become my own enemy.Unless you forgive, you cannot love.And without love, life has no meaning."Forgiveness is truly the saving grace. | |||
