Son of Snow Mountains
Mount Qomolangma (珠穆朗玛峰) is the world’s highest peak (山峰). It is 8,848.86 metres tall. For the world’s climbers, Mount Qomolangma is a difficult test. But Sherpas (夏尔巴人) are good at climbing mountains.
They are famous for helping climbers up the mountains. They help climbers set up tents (帐篷), carry bags, and find the way to the top of Mount Qomolangma.
If you go up to 3,500 metres, you might get a headache. But Sherpas don’t get ill. They have lived in the world’s highest places for years, so their hearts and lungs (肺) are stronger than ours.
They protect the mountains. Some people throw trash on the mountains. Twenty Sherpas made a team to pick up the trash. They keep the mountains clean and tidy.

Most English people have three names: the first name, the middle name and the family name. Their family name comes last. For example, my full name is Jim Allan Green. Green is my family name.
People don’t use their middle names very much. So “John Henry Brown” is usually called(被称作) “John Brown”. People never use Mr, Mrs or Miss before their first names. So you can say John Brown, or Mr Brown; but you should never say Mr John.
Sometimes people ask me about my name. “Why do your parents call you Jim?” they ask. The answer is that they don’t call me Jim. They call me James. James is the name of my grandfather. In England, people usually call me Jim for short. That’s because it is shorter and easier than James.
