Sixty years ago， human beings first reached the top of Mount Qomolangma， known as Mount Everest in the West. But the increase in climbers is turning the world’s highest mountain into the “world’s highest junkyard(垃圾场)”.
Every year， more than 700 climbers spend nearly two months on Mount Qomolangma. They have left human waste and all kinds of rubbish， including oxygen bottles， broken tents， and plastic bags， according to Ang Tshering Sherpa， chief of the Nepal Mountaineering Association.
“The waste has become a health danger to people in the area since they depend on water from rivers fed by the melting glaciers(融化的冰川)，” Sherpa said.
More and more people have realized the danger that Mount Qomolangma is facing and they are now taking active actions. To deal with the problem， Nepal has supported a special team of explorers and volunteers to clean the mountain since 2008. So far they have brought down 15，000kg of rubbish. Nepal also started to ask each climber to bring down 8 kg of rubbish in 2014.
On the Chinese side of the mountain， Tibet(西藏) will collect a cleaning fee of $100-200 (620-1240 yuan) per climber starting from this year. A program named “Mount Qomolangma Action at the Third Pole of the Earth” also started in 2004 to clear up the mountain.
Hopefully， human beings will finally solve the problem， just as they found the way up the mountain successfully.

Jordan Romero, a 13-year-old American boy became the youngest climber to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma on Saturday.
The eighth grader with long curly hair from California said that he first came up with the idea to climb the highest peaks on all seven continents(大洲) four years ago.
The former record for climbers to climb Mount Qomolangma had been held by Temba Tsheri ofNapal(尼泊尔) who reached the peak at the age of 16.
Jordan’s climbing team reached the top hours earlier than expected. After they reached, they all hugged each other, saying, “I love you. I can’t believe we’re finally here.” and started crying.
Jordan, from Big Bear, California, was climbing Qomolangma with his father, his father’s friend and three guides. He left for the peak from the base camp on the Chinese side.
Unlike neighboring Nepal, the other way to Qomolangma, China has no age limit for climbers.
On the top, Jordan left behind his lucky rabbit’s foot and planted some seeds for good luck on his journey. Then he took the satellite phone and called his mom on the top of the world’s highest mountain, 29,035 feet（8,850 meters）above sea level.
Jordan said he hoped to climb the final top of the mountain in Antarctic(南极洲）by December orJanuary. With this dream nearly finished, he already has his eyes on the next goal, that is, he plans to climb the highest peaks in all 50 US states.
1.When Jordan Remero was nine years old, he wanted to .
A.climb the highest peaks on all seven continents B.become the youngest climber in the world
C.climb Mount Qomolangma in four years D.climb Mount Qomolangma by himself

A.mountain B.top C.country D.place
3.There were people in Jordan’s climbing team.
A.two B.four C.six D.seven
4.What is the correct order in which these happened?
a. Jordan climbed the top of the mountain in Antarctic.
b. Jordan called his mom on the top of the world’s highest mountain.
c. Temba Tsheri of Napal reached the top at the age of 16.

Fire was discovered many thousands of years ago. The first time humans saw fire was probably when a tree was destroyed by lightning(闪电). Humans soon learned how to make fire. They probably made the first fire by rubbing (摩擦)two sticks together.
Fire was very important to humans. They needed to keep warm at night. They used fire to cook food. They used fire to keep enemies and wild animals away. In some parts of the world fire was used to send messages. The Indians in America, for example, used fire to make smoke as a message. In some other countries people lit fires to warn their friends of danger.
Fire was also used to give light. Before the invention of the oil lamp(灯), humans burned sticks to get light.
One man even used fire to tell the time. He invented a candle clock. He made a candle that took exactly twelve hours to burn. Then he marked this candle in twelve equal(相等的) parts. He lit the candle and could tell the time by counting the number of parts left of the burning candle. But the candle clock did not always work well. If there was a wind blowing on the candle, it burned too quickly.

The youngest climber to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma, hugged (拥抱) his team members and told them he loved them. Then 13-year-old Jordan Romero took the satellite (卫星) phone and called his mom.
“He says, ‘Mom, I’m calling you from the top of the world. I love you!’ I just told him to get home safely,” his mother told the reporters from California. She had been watching her son’s progress minute by minute online.
Returning from Saturday’s success on the world’s highest mountain, at 8,850 meters above sea level, Jordan said when he was interviewed, “Every step I took was finally toward the biggest goal of my life, to stand on the top of the world.” “I was encouraged by a painting in my school of the highest mountains on all seven continents (洲). I want to climb up all of them.” He climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa when he was 9 years old.
Before him, the youngest climber to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma had been Temba Tsheri of Nepal at the age of 16 in 2001.
