As darkness fell, hundreds of people in the Swiss village left their houses. They were staring（注视）forward at the mountain top in the distance. It was covered with ice and snow－beautiful and dangerous.

    The huge mountain is called Matterhorn. Mountain climbers had  40  the top through the southem route（路线）. But no one had ever dared to try a winter climbing up the northern side. But now one man was daring to try the  41  route. He was Walter Bonatti, a great mountain climber  42  Italy.

    For two days he had climbed. The village people had watched him anxiously（焦虑）. Now they were waiting to see his signal. If he planned to  43  the next day, he would light（点燃）a green signal（信号）. A red light would mean that he was turning back.

    A tiny green light  44  high on the mountain side. Bonatti was not giving up! The people  45  . The next day he continued his way upward. He was so lonely and so  46  ! But he would not give up. Again that night he lit the green light. In the morning, Bonatti  47  . He could not see the top；he knew he was  48  there. Though the climb was painful, he moved up.

    Bonatti had spent months  49  for the climb. Was the training enough? Did he have the strength and skill to climb to the top?

    He was finally at the top! News about his.   50  was radioed to the world.

    The trip down the southern route was easy. He was warmly welcomed in the village. He had done the “  51  ” and would be well remembered as a climber of all time.
