珠穆朗玛峰——世界上最危险的山？登山是世界上最危险的运动之一，而喜马拉雅是登山最流行的地方之一。
喜马拉雅山脉绵延中国西南部。
喜马拉雅的群山中，珠穆朗玛峰最高也最有名。
它高达8844.43米，所以攀登珠峰非常危险。
山顶上浓云覆盖，而且雪可能下得非常大。
更严重的困难是冰冻天气以及强烈的暴风雪。
当你接近山顶时，你还会感动呼吸非常困难。
第一个登顶的人是丹增.诺尔盖和埃德蒙.希拉里，在1953年5月29日。
1960年，中国登山队第一次登顶成功，而来自日本的田部井淳子在1975年成为第一个成功的女登山者。
为什么那么多的登山者愿意冒生命危险（来登山）？一个主要原因是人们想在困难面前挑战自我。
这些登山者的精神告诉我们：永远不要放弃尝试实现我们的梦想。
它也显示了人类有时能比自然的力量更强大。
早上8：30在成都研究基地，大熊猫饲养员正在准备熊猫宝宝的早餐牛奶。
到了早上9:00，他们发现大多数熊猫宝宝已经醒来并且饿了。
当宝宝们见到饲养员，它们兴奋地跑向饲养员，其中一些年幼的熊猫甚至撞到同伴还摔倒了。
林薇，一位熊猫饲养员说：“它们那么可爱。
我照顾它们就像照顾自己的孩子一样。
我每天给他们清洗、喂食、陪他们玩。
他们对我有特殊的意义。
”实际上，全世界很多人都喜欢这种黑白相间的动物。
熊猫已变得如此受欢迎以至于其现在成了中国的一个象征。
科学家们说现在只有不到2000只大熊猫生活在森林里。
另外还有300只左右生活在中国和其他国家的动物园或研究中心里。
熊猫出生率不高，也许每隔两年才生一只。
熊猫宝宝经常死于疾病，也活不了多久。
成年的熊猫每天用超过12小时吃大约10公斤的竹子。
很多年前，中国的竹林和大熊猫比现在要多得多，但是后来人类开始砍伐竹林。
随着森林面积缩小以及人类的其他活动造成了更多的问题，熊猫找不到足够的食物，熊猫宝宝的出生就更少了。
在成都有个教育项目，教育城里的孩子有关大熊猫和其他濒危动物的相关知识。
他们派人到学校，告诉孩子们拯救这些动物的重要性。
