The highest mountain in the world is Mount Everest. It is about 8.844 kilometers above sea level (水
平面). Many men have tried to climb this mountainbut without success. High winds, cold and little
oxygen (氧气) have made this almost an impossible (不可能的) thing. It was not until 1953 that two
menstood on the top. One of the men,was Edmund Hillary from New Zealand. The other was Tenzing
Norgay of Nepal(尼泊尔). They were members of a British Expedition (探险队). There were nearly
twenty people in the whole team. They spent about sixty days finishing the whole climbing. The last day,
May 29th, was fine, Hillary and Tenzing started climbing as the sun rose. At half past eleven theywere
on top of Mount Everest. They were very glad.They wanted to stay there for some time, but they couldn't. It was too cold and dangerous. They hadclimbed as high as anyone can climb.It were on the top of the
world.
