In 1960, three Chinese climbers reached the top of Qomolangma from the north side, which1as the most challenging side of the mountain. They were the first Chinese team to2climb Mount Qomolangma's north side. Fifteen years later, another Chinese expedition team climbed the3side again.

We can learn5more behind the amazing moments in the movie.

A crow, having stolen a piece of cheese, held it firmly in her mouth and stood in a tree. A fox, who was very hungry, took the following ways to get the cheese for himself.
"How handsome is the crow!" he said. "How beautiful is her shape and how fair her feather! Oh, if her voice were only equal to her beauty, she might rightly be called the queen of birds!"
This he said in a soft voice. The crow, anxious to show that her voice was equal to her other attractions, made a loud caw, and dropped the cheese.
The fox caught it as it fell. "My good crow," said he," your voice is all right, but your brain is not good."
The Japanese celebrate the New Year on January 1 and it lasts for two weeks. The Japanese New Year, Oshogatsu, is an important time for Japanese people. On New Year's Day, all the shops, factories and offices are closed.
To keep out evil spirits (恶灵), they hang a rope of straw across the front of their houses. That stands for happiness and good luck. In many Japanese families, people use paper lobsters (龙虾) to decorate their houses on New Year's Day.
When the New Year begins, the Japanese people begin to laugh. This will bring them good luck in the new year.
On the 2nd of January, each member of the family writes their favorite poem or proverb (谚语) onto a long piece of paper.
There are two festivals to mark the New Year in Japan. They are the Greater and the Lesser. The Greater Festival prayers (祈祷) are given to the dead and friends exchange gifts and visits. The Lesser Festival prayers for good crops are given to the god of the rice.

What things are acceptable(可接受的) when you are at the dinner table and what things are serious breaches(违犯) of manners?
I will tell you some of the most important American rules of table manners. When you sit down to eat, you should place the napkin across your lap. You should never talk with your mouth full and should chew with your mouth closed. If someone asks you a question while you are chewing, you should finish chewing and then swallow(吞咽) the food before answering. You should never drop scraps on the table; instead place them on a spare plate. Salt and pepper(胡椒粉) will be at the table, but you should taste your food before adding any. Only put food on someone else's plate if they ask for it and if they say they do not want anything else to eat or drink then you will not give them anything else. Do not use your knife or fork to point at others because it is considered rude.
In China I know it is rude to point with your chopsticks. It is common practice to place food into a friends bowl and to put drink in their glass even after they have said they do not want any more. It is fine to drop the scraps onto the table. Though salt and pepper are not always on the table, vinegar(醋) and soy sauce(酱油) usually are. Talking while you're eating is not considered impolite.
Manners are different all over the world and can even change in different parts of a country. Have you ever seen a foreigner do something you thought was impolite? Is there something you have done that they might view as impolite?
Suzie goes to her art class on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. She always looks forward to those days when she can do creative things all afternoon. She loves making bowls and cups out of clay(粘土).
Last month she learned to put pottery(陶器) into a hot oven（炉子）, called a kiln, to make it hard and strong. What Suzie likes best about art is the good feeling she gets when she has finished working on a piece of art. And then when she takes it home to show her parents she feels so proud of what she has made.
On Wednesday Suzie wrote an article about why she thought the school should have two short breaks a day rather than one long break. Lots of her friends thought that this would be a good idea too. Many teachers also agreed with Suzie's suggestion.
The head teacher of the school asked everyone in the school to vote(表决)on Suzie's suggestion. During the vote, each person in the school had one vote. Together, the school decided that two short breaks would be better than one long break. All of this happened because Suzie wrote about her idea in the school newspaper.
On the day the newspaper comes out, the first thing Suzie does is to check where her article is in the newspaper. And each month, at the beginning of her article, are the words: By Suzanne Jefferson.
On the way home from school yesterday, Suzie got to think about how much art and writing are the same. In art class she thinks of creative things to make, and then spends a lot of time making it look just right.
And when she writes articles for the school newspaper, she thinks of creative things to say, and then spends a lot of time making it sound just right. And when she has finished writing a really good sentence, she feels almost as if she has made a beautiful piece of art.
Suzie rushed home so she could write something shortly before dinner. She already had lots of ideas for next month's newspaper. And she wanted to make sure that none of her creative ideas floated away before she wrote them down on paper

Country music is very popular in America. It is a traditional kind of music from the southern states of America. At first, people played country music only at family parties. When people in the countryside moved to towns and cities to look for jobs, they took their music with them. With country music continuing to change, it became popular throughout America. John Denver was one of the most famous country singers in America 50 years ago. His song Take Me Home, Country Roads is well-known and people still play in today.
Pop music is another kind of musical style. Pop music can make people feel happy and comfortable. Pop music has been popular since the 1950s. In China, Jay Chou is liked by a large number of fans of all ages. He sang many songs about the world we live in. One of them is Dao Xiang, which encourages people not to give up even when life is difficult.
Dear Aunt Mei,
I am very happy to know you will pay a to London. So busy am I that I didn't write to you more often.
The life in London is from that on our hometown. You may meet with some culture differences here so I need to tell you some.
First of all, the food. Actually you don't have to worry about the food there are many international restaurants here including Chinese ones. The big difference is that British like to have slices of toasts bacon and eggs.
A word of advice. Don't tipping system in London. People often leave 10% of the bill for the waiter or waitress. And you can exchange traveller's cheques at bank or hotel.
Thirdly, the in London is changeable. Don't forget to take an umbrella when you are out.
One last thing is British humor. Don't be surprised if you hear laughter when you don't think funny.
I am looking forward to you.
Aunt Mei.
