Today I want to introduce a writer Greg Mortenson to you, especially one of his works called Three Cups of Tea. It has been one of the best sellers. Why can it be so popular?
Greg Mortenson was born in the state of Minnesota and grew up near Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Mortenson later became a nurse. He loved to climb K2 in Pakistan, the second highest mountain in the world. One day, he failed to reach the top of K2, and he became separated from his climbing group on the way down. He was very tired, sick and lost. He had no food, water or shelter(住所).
Mortenson reached a poor village called Korphe in the Karakoram mountains of Pakistan. The villagers had never seen a foreigner before. They provided food and a place for him. Mortenson became friends with the villagers and he wanted to see their school. But they had no school.
He promised(承诺) to return and build a school for the children of the village. This was not easy. He had to return to the United States, ask people for money, buy materials in Pakistan, send them to the village and build the school. But he finally carried out his promise after more than three years. That first school in Korphe was so successful that he decided to continue building schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan. It turned out to be a great act.
Three cups of Tea is about many interesting people Mortenson met and the problems he faced.
I think he is really wonderful. He should be the pride(骄傲) of his country.

  Lots of people make it as their aim to get to the top of Mount Everest.Mark is one of them.The difference between Mark and other climbers is that he lost both his legs when climbing.New Zealand's highest mountain, Mount Cook.He was caught in a big ice hole and he had to have his legs cut below the knees after he was saved.But that couldn't make Mark lose heart, who has become the first person with man-made legs to reach the top of Mount Everest.

  From the top of the world's highest mountain, Mark called his wife to say he made it.His wife, Anne got the phone when she was sleeping.She couldn't hear him clearly on the phone.She was unable to say when he reached the top but thought it was around mid-day.She also said his “legs” didn't work well sometimes, so her husband was carrying a spare leg and repair tools.
