What he wanted most in the world was to climb   31   highest peak (山峰) in the Alps.   32   mother and his uncle, Franz, a mountain guide, wanted him to stop   33   and start working in a hotel. Rudi would not  34   his dream and secretly got in touch with an English mountain climber   35  was planning to climb the highest peak.

Franz was very angry when he found out   36   Rudi had done, but he finally agreed to let Rudi go if he went climbing, too. Franz also didn’t want to see Emil Saxo, a guide from another village, got to the top   37    him.

Rudi turned out to be a very good climber,  38   as they got close to the top, the Englishman got sick and couldn’t go on farther. Franz   39   behind to take care of him, but Saxo continued, wishing to be the   40   to the top. Rudi went after Saxo, hoping to   41   him to the top. When they met, Saxo fought with Rudi and fell down by accident. Saxo was   42   and hurt. Rudi must decide whether to carry Saxo back down to safety or to continue alone to the top.

He thought Saxo’s life was more   43   than his dream and helped him down. During that time, the Englishman and Franz continued the climb, and finally   44  reached the top. Later, the villagers   45   knew Rudi was the real conqueror (征服者) of the mountain.

“I’m really thankful to our government, for it provides us with such a good training program. The training greatly helps us live well. I will certainly study hard and learn the skills.

Therefore, a technical training is very important to people in need, and they will learn the ability to 55] money. People can learn a lot of useful things in the training program and what learn can help them on the way to find jobs.
