Day 1

I first heard of “Show Racism (种族歧视) the Red Card” when my friend Jill asked me to support their work. Basically, it’s an organization which uses professional (职业的) footballers to help fight racism in sport and society. A few weeks later, he asked me if I wanted to do a bit more for them. I thought he probably meant for me to give money or do some voluntary work. But then he told me that a group of about 20 people were getting sponsored (赞助) to play the highest ever game of rugby (橄榄球) at 5,140 meters on Mount Everest.

Day 4

We’re making our way up to the base camp — that’s where most climbers start their final climb to the top — and then, we’ll play our game. Today we started out at 8 am. We had to cross three suspension bridges (悬索桥). One of them was so high that you couldn’t see the bottom. Then we walked through some beautiful forest areas before we started a two-hour uphill hike to Namche Bazaar.

Day 10

Base camp is basically just a lot of stones and tents. The walk up was really exhausting. Maybe if I was fitter, I wouldn’t find this so hard, but then it was not just me — all of us got very short of breath.

Day 11

Today we played our game. It was supposed to be a “friendly” game, and last night, we had agreed we’d just walk and not run. However, it was a really heated game and two players were even sent off. We only played for 14 minutes. I think someone would have got hurt if we’d played any longer! My team won and I scored the last try! Of course, none of this matters. What’s really important is that we did it and we’ve raised a load of money.

1.The first time the author was asked to do something for Jill’s work, he _____.

A. got a big shock

B. accepted his request

C. looked down upon Jill

D. spread the news to 20 people

2.What can we learn about the game of rugby on Mount Everest?

A. It got little attention.

B. It was a bit competitive.

C. It ended because someone was injured.

D. It was held on the top of Mount Everest.

3.The author’s trip to Mount Everest can be described as _____.

A. frightening and fruitless

B. relaxing and interesting

C. hard but successful

D. short but fantastic
