A common concern we often hear with regard to single children is whether one child necessarily means a lonely child. Many single-child parents feel a dilemma associated with their decision lo have only one child. There are no other children in the family for the child to associate with, and this may lead to the child feeling lonely at times, especially during vacations.

    Another common argument against having just one child is that an only child may be more spoiled than one with brothers or sisters. Many people believe that a single child will not have learned to negotiate with others, and respect the give-and-take involved in many relationships. Some think this may leave the child less able to interact well with people his or her own age than one who has been raised with brothers or sisters.

   However, for some single-child parents, particularly those with busy careers, the pressures of giving time and energy to a second child can seem too great, resulting in them electing to have no more children. For other parents, the financial burden of having a second child may be the prime consideration. Still others believe that, _______________, the parents can give, and the child can receive, more quality time and attention. This often leads to increased self-respect which, combined with increased independence, can lead to the child being more confident.

　   Mt. Qomolangma was first conquered (征服)in 1953, when Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing, his guide, became the climbers to reach the top. More than 750 times have people tried to conquer the mountain, but not all successful, yet every climber knows the dangers. This doesn’t stop teams of climbers arriving at the base camp every year with the courage of reaching the top.
  　Two such climbers, and two unlucky ones are Scott Fischer and Rob Hall. Fischer, an American guide with much experience, was lost in a terrible storm which swept across the mountain. A rescue team found him and his friend, but didn't manage to bring Fischer to safety in the terrible conditions because he was dying. New Zealander RobHall, another experienced climber and guide, was lost near the top. These two men had something in common: they were both guides and always took a "tour" of less experienced climbers up the mountain.

  　There is a lot that can go wrong in an action to reach the top of Mt. Qiomolangma; a sudden change in weather conditions or a wrong turning. Planes will only be sent to rescue if they have been paid for in advance. In spite of all these there is a business in leading guided tours to the top . Wealthy mountain climbers can now pay 64, 000 or more to achieve their aim.

Many people wonder how guides can hope to look after their inexperienced climbers when they fail to keep themselves alive. Steve Bell, also a guide who has recently led a team to Mt Qiomolangma, believed that they are safer than others, because the guide can ask a weak　climber to turn back at any point if he feels that climber is a danger to the team.

Whether these expeditions(远征)are safe or not, many climbers feel they have turned Mt. Qiomolangma into a business, like a park for the very rich people. One truth, however, will always remain: it doesn't matter how much money you have, if you make a mistake on Mt. 　Qiomolangma, the possible result will be death.

61.From the passage we can know_______.

A.before 1953 people had tried to reach the mountain top over 750 times

64.According to Bell, a good guide had to make a choice at times to _______remain on the way to the top.

A.the teammates in danger       B.the teammates in safety

C.the strong teammates           D.those who are not dangerous

65.Although those who can afford to climb Mt. Qiomolangma are very rich, yet the mountain ________, according to the writer at the end of the passage.

A.treats them as common life            B.is not like a park for them

C.has been turned into a business      D.doesn't bring lots of money to them

A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office a street urchin(顽童) was walking around a shining car.“Is this your car, Paul?”he asked.

Paul answered,“Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.”The boy was surprised.“You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you anything. Boy. I wish…”He hesitated(犹豫).

Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.

“I wish,”the boy went on,“that I could be a brother like that.”Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again,“Would you like to take a ride in my car?”

“Oh, yes, I'd love that.”

After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said:“Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?”

Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again,“Will you stop where those two steps are?”the boy asked.

He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled(残疾) brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.

“There she is. Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it...then you can see for yourself all nice things in the Christmas window that I've been trying to tell you about.”
