22、

One of the world’s most dangerous sports is mountain climbing, and one of the most popular places for this is the Himalayas. The Himalayas run along the southwestern part of China. And at 8,844.43 meters high, Mount Qomolangma is the tallest mountain of the Himalayas as well as on the Earth. While it is famous for its beautiful views, parts of the mountain are facing a problem: rubbish. Every year, visitors and climbers throw away tons of rubbish, such as bottles and plastic bags.

According to the UN, over 140 tons of rubbish has been left on the mountain. To reduce rubbish, China is limiting (限制) the number of people who are allowed to climb up the north side of the mountain. Only 300 people will be allowed to climb it, and only during spring.

People cleaned the mountain last year, removing rubbish at a height of 5,200 meters. They collected about 8.4 metric tons (公吨) of rubbish.

This year, the local government plans to spend 4 million yuan on a new clean-up activity. The local government is also setting up stations to sort (分类), recycle and break down rubbish collected from the mountain. A group of artists will also try to turn the rubbish into art works. They will show these works of art to remind people not to leave rubbish when climbing the mountain.

23、Who is the oldest man in the world? Where is the world’s highest waterfall? To find the answers, you can check the Guinness World Records book.

The idea of the book came from a British man named Sir Hugh Beaver. He and his friends once argued about which European game bird was the fastest. They failed to find the answer in any book. Later, the twins Norris and Ross McWhirter were invited to write a book of facts and figures. Neither of them knew that the book would become an all-time bestseller.

Since it was first published in 1955, more than 100 million copies of the book have been sold in almost 40 languages, and a new edition(版本) comes out every year.

Many people have tried to get into the book. There are 50,000 applications(申请) from 174 countries every year, according to the Guinness organization.

Anyone who thinks he or she has a very special skill or talent can apply for a Guinness record. After that, Guinness judges will evaluate(评估) your application. After many rounds of research and verification(查证), they will finally send you an official Guinness World Records certificate(证书)!

The person who holds the most Guinness records is Ashrita Furman from the US. Furman now holds nearly 200 records, including the record for holding the most Guinness records.

24、Alice is a young woman. She likes to exercise for her health. She walks five kilometers before breakfast every morning, and goes swimming twice a week at the swimming pool. She doesn’t smoke and never drinks wine(酒). She doesn’t eat chocolate, and she doesn’t eat sweet and fatty foods.

One day Alice was on her daily walk when she saw a man sitting in a chair. He looked very old and his hair was white. He looked thin and weak, and his hands were shaking(发抖), but he looked very happy.

He smiled at her and said, “Good morning! Lovely day, isn’t it?”

He had a big smile on his face, and his eyes showed his happiness. But Alice saw that he had no teeth.

“Good morning!” said Alice. “Yes, it’s a lovely day.”

Alice thought he was old and clever. She thought he must be more than 90 years old. She wanted to ask him about the secret of a happy old age.

“Excuse me. But what is your secret for being so happy at your age? I hope I can look as happy as you do when I am your age.”

The man in the chair said, “My secret for happiness? I smoke every day, and drink three bottles of wine every day. I eat hamburgers, I eat chocolate and I never eat vegetables. I never walk anywhere and I never play sports. I sit and watch TV all day.”

Alice couldn’t understand. She wanted to know how the man got to be so old when he did everything wrong. She thought he should be sick and unhappy. Perhaps she was wrong. Maybe, she thought, people could live a long happy life without eating well and doing lots of sports.

“How old are you?” she asked.
