8 . High­altitude rescue team has set new standards in the Himalayas this season, performing the highest altitude rescue ever completed. On May 19th, a rescue team successfully got a mountaineer from near Camp 3 at 23,000 feet on Everest (珠穆朗玛峰). The climber named Gautam nearly reached the top but became extremely exhausted and seriously dehydrated(脱水的).

After a difficult and dangerous rescue, the team was able to successfully save Gautam’s life.

In an interview with Moro, the pilot of the rescue team, he said, “You have to be prepared, technically, physically, and also mentally.” He added, “The aim wasn’t to set a record but to save someone’s life.”

The team has flown rescue tasks using Nepalese helicopters (直升机) for two years but had the idea to create a team with its own helicopter, which has been able to complete this season. The entire operation is privately financed, and according to Moro, “doesn’t cost the Italian or Nepalese tax­payer a single cent.” Moro also flies tasks for the local population for “free or at extremely reduced prices”.

Moro sees potential for the increasing number of high­altitude Himalayan rescue operations. In the future, he hopes to see more than one team, as well as a specialised team of climbers that would be able to perform rescues at altitudes and in weather conditions that are impossible for helicopters.

Cruz Genet, 11, and Anthony Skopick, 10, couldn’t agree. Were the birds out on the ice ducks or geese? There was only one way to find out. So    1    a chilly January evening last year, the two friends ventured onto the frozen pond near their homes in Frankfort, Illinois,     2    (get) a better look. First they cast a rock onto the ice to test it, Cruz told NBC5 Chicago, “Then we stepped on it.”     3    (convince) the ice would hold their weight, Anthony took a few steps, then...FOOMP. He crashed through the seemingly frozen surface. “There was no sound, no crack,” he told ABC 7 Chicago. “I just fell through instantly. ”

Cruz rushed to help his    4    (panic) friend. FOOMP — the pond swallowed him too. Cruz managed to lift himself out of the frigid water and onto a more solid section. He then carefully worked his way toward Anthony. But the ice didn’t hold, and in he    5    (fall) again. This time, he couldn’t get out.

The boys were up to their necks in icy water and quickly losing feeling in their limbs. Any chance of their    6    (free) themselves was slipping away. Cruz was sure he was going to die. Anthony’s older sister had seen the boys fall through the ice and started screaming for help. John Lavin, a neighbour driving nearby on his way to the grocery store,     7    (hear) her. He quickly pulled over. Seeing the boys, he grabbed a nearby buoy,     8    (kick) off his shoes, and ran into the slushy water,     9    (chop) his way through the ice with his free fist.

Lavin made his way to Cruz and Anthony and dragged them back to land. They were taken to the hospital, where doctors discovered that their five-minute stay in the water    10    (lower) their body temperature nearly ten degrees.

Fortunately, the boys have fully recovered, though they are still kind of awestruck by their fearless neighbour. “Just to think,” says Cruz, “if he wasn’t there, I could have died.”
