On May 15, 2018, a team of mountain climbers from Peking University(北大) reached the top of the world’s highest mountain to celebrate the university’s 120th birthday .They practised for two years for their climb to the summit.
The team has fourteen climbers: seven students from the Mountaineering Association of Peking University (MAPKU北大山鹰社) , two teachers and five alumni. The youngest of them is only twenty-one and the oldest one is in his fifties. Twelve of them made it to the summit of Mountain Qomolangma , as one of the team members felt sick and another stayed in the camp to help the team when they came back from the top.
To our surprise, the first member to reach the summit was a girl named WeiWei. It was the third time for her to reach the top of this mountain. Peking University alumnus Huang Nubo, who led the team, said ,“Reaching the top of the mountain was not the only goal.” “It’s more important to know how the team work closely and fight with difficulties when climbing high. It is also the spirit of the University,” he said. Started in 1989, the MAPKU now is the most famous amateur mountaineering club in China. In 1998, three members reached the 8,201-metre Mount Cho Oyu, the world’s sixth-highest mountain, to celebrate their university’s 100th birthday. Besides, they also held activities to save animals and plants as well as protect mountains.

My favorite sport is baseball. It is fun to play, and it is fun to watch.
I went to my first baseball game with my grandparents when I was 6. It was really wonderful. We had a good time. I was happy to be with my grandparents. My grandfather made me love the game.
My dad knew I loved baseball, so he gave me a baseball on my eighth birthday. When I was 12, my friend came to me and asked me to join his team and play baseball. I agreed. From then on, I got to learn more about baseball. I practised a lot and learned how to play better.
My favorite baseball player is Derrek Lee. Derrek Lee joined the Chicago Cubs in 2004. That year was a good year for him, but 2005 was his best year.

The 31st Summer Olympics will be held in Brazil in 2016. Before this global sporting event, we started thinking about sports that didn’t exist any more and sports that were maybe a little strange. Read the following ones that have ever been included in the past Olympic Games.
Live Pigeon Shooting(1900)
This bloody event was only held once, at the 1900 Paris Games. Nearly 300 birds were killed during the competition, leaving a crime scene of feathers and blood. This is the only event in Olympic history that involved killing live animals.
Kabaddi(1936)
This sport if popular in South Asia. The object is for one member of a team to enter the other side’s half of the field, and score points. The attacker then returns to his half of the field.
12 Hour Bicycle Race(1896)
Seven riders got on their bikes at 5 am and rode until 5 pm. Four riders dropped out before noon, but the winner, Adolf Schmal of Austria, managed about 180 miles. Only Schmal and one other finished.
Tug of War(1900-1920)
This may seem like a basic PE class sport more than an Olympic event, but Tug of War was actually one of the first sports played at the Olympic games in 500 BC. There are two teams of eight; the winning team must pull the other team six feet forward.
Swimming Obstacle Race(1900)
The athletes had to climb over a pole(杆子) and a row of boats, and then swim under another row of boats. All of this was done in the Seine River, so they also had to fight against the water. This event was only ever held in 1900, in Paris.
