7 . My aunt got sick after her only son died. She was beginning to forget things. Simple tasks became a challenge for her.

    1     Then she went through chemotherapy (化疗) and radiation. Although she could still walk and talk, she forgot a lot of things that happened in the past and even conversations that had taken place a few days before.

My grandmother became my aunt’s caretaker. After school, I would go to my grandmother’s home until my mom got off work.     2     I started preparing meals and talking to my aunt to keep her company.

As my aunt’s symptoms developed, she could not stand for a long period, so we began assisting her as she walked.     3     This was the hardest part for me. But I did it to help my grandmother. After a while I began administering medicine and massaging (按摩) my aunt’s legs to help with the circulation.

    4     I didn’t think I had the courage to help someone who was sick or who could not look after himself. But after assisting my aunt I began to care more about the needs of others. Seeing someone so strong and passionate (热爱的) for life fall sick to the point where she needed assistance with things most people take for granted was a new understanding.     5     This experience not only changed my view on life, but also inspired me to consider becoming a physician’s assistant, or another career where I can help others.

A．Next I was asked to help bathe her.

B．My heart became soft for the needs of others.

C．She had been cancer-free for about four years.

D．After some tests, we were told that she had brain cancer.

E．I realized that we all need help in life, whether physical or mental.

F．This experience changed how I viewed old people and the sick.

G．During this time my grandmother started asking me to help her care for my aunt.

Great Adventurers to Mt Qomolangma

Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay made the impossible possible.They have been on top of the world.They climbed Mount Qomolangma!Tenzing Norgay is among the world’s famous mountain climbers;he was one of the first two individuals who reached the summit of Mount Qomolangma with Sir Edmund Hillary on May 29,1953.

In 1935, he got an opportunity to join in the Mount Qomolangma expedition. He was employed by Eric Shipton. In 1953 he took part in the seventh expedition to Mt Qomolangma.A member of the team, Edmund Hillary was also there. This expedition took 400 people, of which 362 were porters. The expedition set up base camp in March,1953.Working slowly it set up its final camp at the South Col at 7,890m.On May 26 Bourdillon and Evans attempted the climb but turned back when Evans’ oxygen system failed.The pair had reached the South Summit,coming within 91m of the summit.Hunt then directed Norgay and Hillary to go for the summit.Snow and wind held the pair up at the South Col for two days.They set out on May 28 with a support trio of Alfred Gregory,Ang Nyima and a member called Lowe.The two pitched a tent at 8,500m on May 28 while their support group returned down the mountain.

On the following morning Hillary discovered that his boots had frozen solid outside the tent.He spent two hours warming them before he and Norgay attempted the final ascent wearing 14kg packs.They finally reached the summit but only spent fifteen minutes there.Hillary took the famous photo of Norgay posing with his ice-axe, but since Norgay had never used a camera,Hillary’s ascent went unrecorded.Additional photos were taken looking down the mountain in order to reassure that they had made it to the top and that the ascent was not faked.

The two had to take care on the descent after discovering that drifting snow had covered their tracks,complicating the task of retracing their steps.The first person they met was Lowe,who had climbed up to meet them with hot soup.Then they climbed on down the mountain.

After a lot of struggles they stood on the top of Mount Qomolangma.They have been on top of the world!
