The idea f climbing Everest disgusted me. The muntain came t represent the ppsite f everything that I lved and respected abut climbing. What had nce been the final muntain climbing gal became the fcus f a cmmercial guiding industry. Over the years, the crwds at Base Camp grew, leaving behind tns f trash. Whenever I was asked whether I’d climb Everest, my answer was always the same: nt interested.
That’s prbably where my persnal Everest stry wuld have ended, were it nt fr an ld friend and his bsessin (执念) with ne f the greatest mysteries. In 1999, Thm Pllard began t explre and fund the remains f Gerge Mallry, the celebrated British climber wh disappeared while attempting t be the first t climb Everest. But Mallry’s partner, Sandy Irvine, and the camera he had likely carried, were nt fund. The muntain climbing wrld has been wndering whether they might have reached the tp in 1924.
Pllard’s stry mved me. I began t pack fr the climb and expected that ur advanced equipment wuld make it manageable, perhaps easy. I was wrng. On the highest pint n the planet, I was mre tired than I’d ever been in any climbing. Alng the way, I cntinuusly tipped my hat, nt just t Mallry and Irvine but t anyne wh has the drive t push himself r herself up this rute. My search was in vain, but I began t recnsider Everest,
I witnessed many climbers, wh were much mre than just self-centered turists. We shared rute infrmatin, weather frecasts, and family phts — all united arund cmmn gals.
I went t Everest t seek Irvine. But in the end, I fund smething mre difficult t get: the spirit that Irvine and Mallry shared. It was hiding in plain sight, right where it has always been: inside the brave suls wh risk s much t fllw in stried adventurers’ ftsteps up Everest.

Want t help butterflies? A new study suggests turning ff the lights.
Light pllutin at night can disturb its abilities t recgnize directins, researchers have fund. Artificial light can disrupt their circadian (昼夜) rhythms and affect their sense f directins. That can make the butterflies disriented when they try t fly the next day.
“Darkness is imprtant t butterflies since the internal circadian clck f butterflies functins nrmally when they are expsed t natural day-night lighting cycles,” study authr Patrick Guerra, an assistant prfessr at the University f Cincinnati, tells Treehugger.
Mnarch butterflies migrate (迁徙) by the millins each year, making the trip frm nrthern areas f the cntinent t Califrnia and Mexic and back. Because mst butterflies nly live fr a few weeks t a few mnths, it takes several generatins f butterflies t cmplete the migratin. But t much light at the wrng time can urge the butterflies t take ff when they shuld be resting instead fr their vyage.
“As mnarch butterflies are a threatened species with their ppulatin numbers in decline, we wanted t see what types f envirnmental stress might be linked t their decline,” Guerra says.
Fr their study, researchers cnducted lab studies where they reprduced the effects f artificial light pllutin with butterflies using a flight simulatr (模拟器).
They first tested if mnarchs treated a single, artificial light surce as if it were the actual sun during the day. Once they established what they did, they then tested hw the mnarchs wuld behave when expsed t this same artificial light surce during their night.
Butterflies stayed quiet and unmving when they were first placed in the flight simulatr in the dark. But as sn as scientists turned n the light, they started flying. The light made them believe that night was day and this can cause them t fly lnger at night r start flying t early.
“These findings demnstrate hw urbanizatin can negatively affect imprtant bilgical phenmena, and therefre allw us t understand hw human activity impacts the rest f nature,” Guerra says.
12. What des the underlined wrd “disriented” in paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. Slw dwn.B. Die ff.C. Feel sleepy.D. Get lst.
13. What did the researchers want t find ut in the study?
A. Why the mnarch butterflies migrate.
B. What reduced the number f mnarch butterflies.
C. Why darkness is imprtant t mnarch butterflies.
D. Hw mnarch butterflies adapt t the envirnment.
14. What might be used in the experiment?
A. A flashlight.B. The sun.C. The mn.D. A clck.
15. What can be the best title fr the text?
A. Natural Light Is Imprtant t Insects
B. Mnarch Butterflies Are in Great Danger
C. Butterflies React Actively t Air Pllutin
D. Light Pllutin Can Affect Butterfly Migratin

Want t help butterflies? A new study suggests turning ff the lights.
Light pllutin at night can disturb its abilities t recgnize directins, researchers have fund. Artificial light can disrupt their circadian (昼夜) rhythms and affect their sense f directins. That can make the butterflies disriented when they try t fly the next day.
“Darkness is imprtant t butterflies since the internal circadian clck f butterflies functins nrmally when they are expsed t natural day-night lighting cycles,” study authr Patrick Guerra, an assistant prfessr at the University f Cincinnati, tells Treehugger.
Mnarch butterflies migrate (迁徙) by the millins each year, making the trip frm nrthern areas f the cntinent t Califrnia and Mexic and back. Because mst butterflies nly live fr a few weeks t a few mnths, it takes several generatins f butterflies t cmplete the migratin. But t much light at the wrng time can urge the butterflies t take ff when they shuld be resting instead fr their vyage.
“As mnarch butterflies are a threatened species with their ppulatin numbers in decline, we wanted t see what types f envirnmental stress might be linked t their decline,” Guerra says.
Fr their study, researchers cnducted lab studies where they reprduced the effects f artificial light pllutin with butterflies using a flight simulatr (模拟器).
They first tested if mnarchs treated a single, artificial light surce as if it were the actual sun during the day. Once they established what they did, they then tested hw the mnarchs wuld behave when expsed t this same artificial light surce during their night.
Butterflies stayed quiet and unmving when they were first placed in the flight simulatr in the dark. But as sn as scientists turned n the light, they started flying. The light made them believe that night was day and this can cause them t fly lnger at night r start flying t early.
“These findings demnstrate hw urbanizatin can negatively affect imprtant bilgical phenmena, and therefre allw us t understand hw human activity impacts the rest f nature,” Guerra says.
12. What des the underlined wrd “disriented” in paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. Slw dwn.B. Die ff.C. Feel sleepy.D. Get lst.
13. What did the researchers want t find ut in the study?
A. Why the mnarch butterflies migrate.
B. What reduced the number f mnarch butterflies.
C. Why darkness is imprtant t mnarch butterflies.
D. Hw mnarch butterflies adapt t the envirnment.
14. What might be used in the experiment?
A. A flashlight.B. The sun.C. The mn.D. A clck.
15. What can be the best title fr the text?
A. Natural Light Is Imprtant t Insects
B. Mnarch Butterflies Are in Great Danger
C. Butterflies React Actively t Air Pllutin
D. Light Pllutin Can Affect Butterfly Migratin
