Worksheet 1. Reading: Climbing Mount Everest
Edmund Hillary was the first person to climb Mount Everest, in 1953. These
questions and answers are similar to those from actual interviews with Edmund
Hillary. Read the interview and answer the questions on the next page.
Climbing Mount Everest
INTERVIEWER: How did you feel when you got to the top of Mount Everest?
HILLARY: Well, somewhat surprised, but deeply satisfied, of course. We
were literally on top of the world!
INTERVIEWER: What did the world look like from up there at the summit?
HILLARY: We could see a vast distance -- 100 miles -- in every direction.
We saw mountains, glaciers, and high plateaus.
INTERVIEWER: How long did it take you to climb Mt. Everest?
HILLARY: It took seven weeks to go from base camp to the top, but only
three days coming down.
INTERVIEWER: Why did you want to climb Mount Everest?
HILLARY: Because it was there!
INTERVIEWER: Had you always wanted to climb Mount Everest?
HILLARY: I had always dreamed about adventure. As a boy. I read tons of
adventure stories. But I didn’t see a mountain until I was 16 years old!
INTERVIEWER: Sixteen! So … when did you start climbing?
HILLARY: When I was 20. The first mountain I climbed was Mount Cook, in
New Zeeland. And after that, I wanted to climb the highest mountain in the
world … you know, I tried once before, three years ago …, but that
expedition did not succeed.
INTERVIEWER: Not like this expedition! A spectacular success. Now, how
difficult was your climb physically? For example, what about food? Did you
eat plants from the mountain? How did you eat? How did you sleep?
HILLARY: We carried all our own food. But when you are high on the
mountain, you are not hungry at all, and you have to force yourself to eat.
Most of our energy came from very sweet drinks — mostly hot weak tea
with lots of sugar. And we didn’t sleep much. It’s very difficult to sleep at
high altitudes.
INTERVIEWER: How did you prepare for this expedition?
HILLARY: Well, first, by keeping fit. I’m a beekeeper -- I raise bees, so I
have had to make the time to keep fit. I hike and climb and work out.
