Mt.Qomolangma was first conquered (征服)in 1953, when Sir Edmund Hillary and She pa Tenzing, his guide(向导),became the first climbers to reach the top.More than 750 times have people tried to conquer the mountain, but not 1 successful, yet every climber knows the 2 reaching the top.
Two such climbers, and two 3 ones, are Scott Fischer and Rob Hall. Fischer, an American guide with much experience, was lost in a terrible storm which swept across the 4 .A rescue team (营救队)found him and his friend, but didn't 5 to bring Fischer to safety in the terrible conditions because he was dying. New Zealander Rob Hall, 6 experienced climber and guide, was lost near the top. These two men had something in common: they were both guides who took ‘tours’ of less experienced climbers up the mountain.
There is a lot that can go wrong in an action to reach the top of Mt. Qomolangma: a 7 change in weather conditions or a wrong turning.Planes will only be sent to rescue if they 8 in advance. In spite of all these, there is a business in leading guided tours to the top. 9 mountain climbers can now pay $ 64,000 or more to achieve their aim.
Many people wonder how guides can hope to 10 their inexperienced climbers when they fail to keep themselves alive. Steve Bell, also a guide who has recently led a team to Mt. Qomolangma, believes that they are safer than others, because the guide can ask a 11 climber to turn back at any 12 if he feels that 13 is a danger to the team.
Whether these expeditions (远征)are safe or not, many climbers feel that they have turned Mt.Qomolangma into a business, like a park for the very rich. One 14 ,however, will always remain : it doesn't matter how much money you have, if you make a mistake on Mt. Qomolangma, the possible result will be 15 .
