I had been unhappy since my new neighbor moved in. Every time I began writing, I could hear a girl singing next door, she didn’t sing well, and she even out of true (跑调), so it was really noise pollution for me.
One day, soon after I sat down behind the computer, I heard the girl singing once again. I felt it was too noisy, so I had my husband go to next door and complained about the noise.
Ten minutes later, my husband came back with a sad look, saying, “ That girl is only 17 but she had bone cancer (骨癌). Her mother said that the more painful it is, the louder her daughter sings.” I knew now the singing helped reduce her pains.
I said to my husband. “Please tell her mother that girl can sing as she likes. We don’t mind it at all.”
From that day on, I no longer thought the girl did anything wrong and even got used to her singing. I felt as if it were like the smell of sunbeams and watching the flowers and plants.

V. 任务型阅读（每题2分，共12 分）
It’s rather common to see people waiting in lines at theaters, supermarkets amusement parks and so on. Surprisingly, they even have to wait in line at the summit (山峰）of Qomolangma (珠穆朗玛峰).
During the climbing season of 2019, lots of climbers couldn’t move in a long line near the top and they are above the mountain's highest campsite about 8, 000 meters above sea level. However, most people can only spend few minutes at the top without extra oxygen supplies(氧气补给). Twenty-one mountaineers have died in the Himalayan mountains so far. Eleven of these climbers died on Qomolangma.
The development of technology has encouraged more people to climb the mountain. Here, you can see how many climbers have visited the Himalayas in recent years.
After these accidents, one question remains: “Why do so many people risk their lives climb the mountain ”
不同的人有不同的答案。Studies suggest that people who take risks consider themselves different from people who avoid risk activities. But for some adventures (探险者), reaching the top of Qomolangma is a lifelong dream and behind the dream lies the spirit of climbing.
“Qomolangma is like a light that interests people once they hear about it. For people, climbing Qomolangma is a way to realize their dreams”. A mountaineer Alan Amette said.
Wu Jing stars in a film called The Climbers（《攀登者》）,which is based on the real story of four Chinese mountaineers in 1960,who were the world's first to climb Qomolangma’s north side successfully. It show people the spirit of climbing-challenging oneself and never giving up. “We are all deeply shocked by the movie because each one of us is a climber in life. “Said Wu.
