    This is a story about a mountaineer named Phillip. Phillip was a member of a mountaineering team that planned to climb a mountain. In order to enjoy the glory of being the first to reach the mountaintop, Phillip went to climb the mountain alone one night while the other mountaineers were sleeping.

    Obviously, climbing at night wasn't a smart decision. But he still wanted to give it a try. He was nearly to the top when he suddenly slipped and started to fall. At that moment, his entire life flashed (闪现) before him .

    His body was hanging in mid-air. While thinking about how close he was to death, he felt the rope around his waist (腰) suddenly tighten around him. He helplessly shouted, "Somebody helps me!" Suddenly, a low voice came from the valley, "Cut the rope!" "What?" He couldn't believe what he heard. "Cut the rope around your waist!" It was dark all around, so he couldn't see his surroundings. He refused to cut the rope, choosing to hold onto it as tightly as he could.

    The next day, when his fellow mountaineers found him, they discovered that he had died of exposure (暴露) to the cold, holding tight to the rope in his hands. But he was only ten feet above a big rock! If he had cut the rope and allowed himself to fall, he might have been able to land in a safe place, build a fire and wait for someone to save him.
