Steven Ho and Frank Wang wanted to be heroes.
"I want people to read about us in the history books, "Steven said. "I want to do something that 【小题1】 (remember) forever by people. "
"Me, too, "Frank said, "But what can we do?"
The two men thought about this for many weeks, then Steven said, "Let's climb the mountain which is famous for its 【小题2】(high)and steepness (陡峭).
"That's a good idea, " Frank said, "but how can we prove that we【小题3】(climb)it already? "
"We'll put a flag on the top. "Steven said. "Anyone 【小题4】 (fly) over the mountain in an airplane will see it. "
Frank agreed that this was a good idea and the two men 【小题5】(set) off. They walked for three weeks to reach the bottom of the mountain, and then they began to climb. The mountain was very steep and they could climb only a few hundred feet a day. At night they slept in a small tent. It was much 【小题6】(cold) on the mountain. While they 【小题7】(climb)across snow and ice, they suffered from the extreme cold. But at last, after many days of hardship, they reached the top. "We've made it, Steven," Frank said 【小题8】(happy). "We've finally climbed to the top of the highest mountain in the world. We'll be 【小题9】(know) and people will remember us. All we have to do now is to plant our flag in the ice, "
"That's right. "Steven said, "and then we can go home. "He waited for Frank 【小题10】 (plant)the flag. When Frank did nothing, Seven said, "Why aren't you planting the flag?"
"I haven't got it. "Frank said. "I thought you had it. "
