Steven Ho and Frank Wang wanted to be heroes.
"I want people to read about us in the history books, "Steven said." I want to do something that (remember) forever by people. "
"Me, too, "Frank said, "But what can we do?"
The two men thought about this for many weeks, then Steven said, "Let's climb the mountain which is famous for its (high)and steepness (陡峭).
"That's a good idea," Frank said, "but how can we prove that we (climb)it already?"
"We'll put a flag on the top." Steven said. "Anyone (fly) over the mountain in an airplane will see it."
Frank agreed that this was a good idea and the two men (set) off. They walked for three weeks to reach the bottom of the mountain, and then they began to climb. The mountain was very steep and they could climb only a few hundred feet a day. At night they slept in a small tent. It was much (cold) on the mountain. While they (climb)across snow and ice, they suffered from the extreme cold. But at last, after many days of hardship, they reached the top. "We've made it, Steven," Frank said (happy). "We've finally climbed to the top of the highest mountain in the world. We'll be (know) and people will remember us. All we have to do now is to plant our flag in the ice."
"That's right." Steven said," and then we can go home." He waited for Frank (plant) the fag. When Frank did nothing, Seven said, "Why aren't you planting the fag?"
"I haven't got it." Frank said. "I thought you had it."
