What were they doing?

    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.

    The purpose of students who come to school is to study.  But studying needs right ways. The following opinions are ways of studying.

    The best time to read is morning. Because in the morning, the air is fresh and our minds are clear.

    When we study, we must be patient(有耐心的). If we don't understand a text well, we must read it again. We should not read the next until we have learned the first one well.

    When we are studying, we must put our hearts into the book. We cannot read absentmindedly(心不在焉),or we couldn't get anything form the book while we are reading.

    We must always ask "why". If we can't understand well, write it down and ask our teachers or parents, brothers or friends, in any possible ways.

    Though there are many ways for studying, however, the above mentioned will be helpful if we can keep them in heart.

Every morning, Toad gets up and knows he has a lot to do. He writes down all the 1 and makes a list（清单）:

●get up;     ●eat breakfast;     ●go to Frog's house;

●walk with Frog;     ●eat lunch;     ●play a game 2 Frog;

●go home;     ●eat dinner;     ●go to sleep

Toad 3 think he can do everything well without the list.

He starts his day with breakfast 4 happily gets it off the list. Then he puts the list in 5 bag and goes to Frog's house. When he 6 there, he shows Frog his list. A strong wind（风） comes. It takes 7 list away from Toad. Frog runs fast to help but it is 8 to catch the list. Toad feels sad, because he knows there 9 still many things to do.

Frog says to Toad, "10 to sleep". Toad writes Frog's words on the ground. They lie down and quickly fall asleep, feeling happy.

Barry lives in the west African nation of Guinea (几内亚). He wanted to study at one of the best schools in Cairo, Egypt, but he didn't have money to pay for the bus or train. Then, Barry drew a map of Africa and started his trip on a second- hand mountain bike.

With only a few clothes, a flashlight(手电筒), and a small tool, the 25- year- old young man rode more than 4,000 kilometers across Africa, in the hope of getting into the school and finding a way to pay for it.

Four months later, he arrived in Cairo and got a full scholar(全额奖学金) to the school." If you have a dream, keep with it and be strong," Barry said.

Barry rode about 100 kilometers each day. He rode through(经过) Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo, Benin, Niger and Chad. After the long ride through those countries, his luck came in Chad. There, a kind man read about his trip online and helped him fly straight to Egypt. With his help, Barry arrived in Cairo successfully(成功地) and days later got a full scholarship to the school.

Barry wants to go back to Guinea when he finishes his studies." When I go back to my country, I would like to be a teacher. I want to tell people how to do good things," he says.

Do you have any dreams? What would you like to be in the future? Some of you might dream of taking positions as a singer or a writer. Some might try to be a doctor or a scientist. However, Zara Rutherford, a student in Brussels, has a great ambition (抱负 ). She wants to become the world's youngest woman to fly around the world alone.

Rutherford's parents are both pilots. Under their influence, the girl fell in love with flying at a young age. She has been learning to fly since she was 14 years old. She got her first flying license in 2020, when she was 17 years.

Rutherford set off from her home city on Aug.18,2021 and finished her flight on Jan.20,2022. She covered 41 different countries on five continents, flying through wildfires, typhoons and dangerous low temperatures to reach her destination(目的地). She not only realized her dream but also made history. During her flight, the young woman met with some of the local girls. She says few pilots in the world are women. She feels sad about this. She wants to encourage more girls to learn flying and love it.

By flying alone around the world, Rutherford wants to set a good example for other girls. Once, she told them, "If you have a dream or a plan, you should go for it. If you don't try, you' ll never know how high you can fly."
