I’m actually the first and only cancer survivor to the summit(顶峰)of the world’s highest mountain——Mt. Everest.

The condition was much   2   as the doctors gave me only two weeks to live.    3   , I survived.

Being the   4   person in the world to have ever had these two cancers, I really felt I should   5   my story to help encourage others and  6   their lives. On May 16th, 2002 at 9:32 A.m., I became the first cancer   7   to the summit of Mt. Everest.

Since then, I have been   8   enough to reach the summits of three more of the world’s seven highest peaks and have spoken   9   about my life and   10    to countless people and organizations. On the summit of Everest I   11   a flag adorned(点缀)with names of people who have been affected by   12    and left it on the top of the world forever in honor of the   13   of cancer patients worldwide.

I did the same at the   14  point in Africa, Europe and just recently returned from 23 000—foot Aconcagua in South America! My   15   is to climb the highest mountain on each continent and walk to the North and South poles.

I am   16   the globe with inspiration. There are plans for   17  chat programs during the adventures   18   live TV programs from a number of the mountains! The reason for these adventures is to   19   those affected by cancer as well as anyone with a pulse(脉搏)to   20  big and never give up.

Sam and Joe were astronauts. There was once a very dangerous trip and the more experienced astronauts knew there was only a small chance of coming back alive. Sam and Joe, however, thought it would be exciting though a little dangerous. “We’re the best men for the job,” they said to the boss. “There may be problems, but we can find the answers.” “They’re the last people I’d trust,” thought the boss. “But all the other astronauts have refused to go.”

    Once they were in space, Joe had to go outside to make some repairs. When the repairs were done, he tried to get back inside the spaceship. But the door was locked. He knocked but there was no answer. He knocked again, louder this time, and again no answer came. Then he hit the door as hard as he could and finally a voice said, “Who’s there?” “It’s me!
