    Recently, a very simple question became widely spread online: What China should be proud of? {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    Lanlan, whose real name is Negar Kordi, is from Canada. She came to China five years ago and is a student at Ningbo University. Now she has 120,000 fans on the Internet and the number is still growing.

    Lanlan loves China and Chinese. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}And that's why she is so well received among Chinese net friends. The following is China in her eyes.

    "It is the easiest country in which to find a job. If you are not too lazy, it is really very simple to find a job in China. I believe there're more job chances here than in any other country in the world. "

    "{#blank#}3{#/blank#}About 400 million Chinese are studying English. If they can speak good English in the future, China will have the greatest number of English speakers of any non-English speaking country. "

    "The speed of Chinese trains is fast. From Ningbo to Beijing, the train runs 1,365 kilometers for seven hours and the ticket fare is only 595 yuan. "

    "Its public security is great. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}I have travelled in many countries, and I think China really is very safe. "

    "There are much more things China should be proud of. Many Chinese people often criticize(批评)China. At first, I believed that they didn't like China or that they loved western countries. But later, I realized that they just set a very high standard for China. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} China must be much better than other countries. "

    David wants to buy a Christmas present for his mother. David's father gives him $ 5 a week and David puts $2 into his bank account(账户) every week. After three months David takes $ 20 out of his bank account and goes to the shop. He looks for a great present. He sees a beautiful brooch(胸针) in the shape of his favourite pet. He says to himself, "My mother loves jewellery(珠宝), and the brooch costs only $ 17. " He buys the brooch and takes it home. He wraps(裹) the present in Christmas paper and then puts it under the tree. He is very happy and he wants to see the joy(喜悦) on his mother's face that day. When his mother opens the present, she screams(尖叫). She sees a spider(蜘蛛).

    Chogori(乔戈里峰)stands on the Chinese-Pakistan border. Chogori is from the Tajik language, it means" high, great and magnificent". Internationally, it is better known as K2. Chogori is about 8, 611 meters high, and it is the second highest mountain in the world.

    And Chogori is not Qomolangma. On the one hand, Chogori is a steeper(更陡峭的)and more dangerous peak. In fact, it is the most difficult peak to reach in the world. The first two people to reach the top of Chogori—Lino Lacedelli and Achille Compagnoni from Italy—did it in 1954. In 1986, the first woman did it too. Since 1954, only 281 people have reached the top, and 49 others have been killed (However, Qomolangma has been reached 3, 000 times and only 15 climbers lost their lives). Of all the over 8, 000-meter-high peaks, it has the highest death rate.

    On the other hand, this great peak is for professional climbers only. Here, no commercial(商业的)climbing organization will provide you any services, and even top-class climbers will choose their climbing partners with a particularly eagle(鹰)eye. The leader of a Japanese K2 team said when organizing his team in 1982, "We are professional climbers, and all know that if we run into trouble at a height of 8, 000 meters on K2, it is impossible to get help. If you do not have the confidence and determination(决心)to face possible trouble, you should not go!"

    This is Chogori! In the eyes of the top-class climbers, it is the most beautiful peak, and it is the danger that attracts them.
