16、语序应是“It brings whats important to you into focus”，由于宾语部分太长，介词短语太短，为了保持句子结构的平衡，宾语后置了。4With the majority of attempts to climb Qomolangma resulting either in total success or failure【9】，is there also a scientific reason behind this risktaking？Recent studies indicate that risktaking may be part of human

18、with宾语现在分词”结构，the majority of attempts是宾语，to climb Qomolangma是不定式短语作后置定语，修饰attempts；因attempts与result in之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故这里用现在分词形式。5Speaking to the LA Times about the “Type T”personalities, Farley said，“Theyll say，Im not taking risks，Im an expert.They dont want to die and they dont expect to die.”6Resear

20、，到旅行结束时，许多人已经在计划着重返这里。对这些人来说，攀登珠穆朗玛峰是无可比拟的体验，让有些人感到脆弱，有些人则感到充满力量。2英国登山者乔治马洛里这样记叙攀登珠穆朗玛峰的经历：“我们从这次冒险中获得的只是纯粹的快乐我们活着不是为了吃饭和赚钱，我们吃饭和赚钱是为了能享受生活。那就是生活的意义和目标。”可惜的是，马洛里于1924年死在山上，而他的遗体直到多年以后才被找到。目前尚不清楚他是否在遇难前成功登顶珠穆朗玛峰。32011年，美国登山者艾伦阿内特说出了与马洛里所言类似的话。艾伦当年攀登了珠穆朗玛峰，并打算登上世界各地其他的高山。“登山会让你把注意力集中在对你来说重要的事情上，”他补充说，
21、“停下脚步，原路返回的理由成千上万，继续前行的理由只有一个。你必须专注于对你而言最重要、最独特的那个理由。它会迫使你深入观察自己的内心，弄清楚自己的身体和心理是否真的坚韧不拔，在你想要停下的时候推动你继续向前。”4大部分攀登珠穆朗玛峰的尝试都以大获全胜或彻底失败结束，那么，在这样的冒险背后是否也存在什么科学的原因呢？最近的研究表明，冒险可能是人性的一部分，我们中的一些人要比其他人更可能冒险。心理学家弗兰克法利曾花费数年时间研究那些跳伞、飙车，还有攀登珠穆朗玛峰的人。他称这些人的人格为“T型”，“T”代表“thrill(刺激)”。5法利接受洛杉矶时报采访时是这样说“T型”人格的：“他们会说，我不是在冒险，我是专家他们不想死，也不认为自己会死。”6研究还表明，我们寻求冒险的欲望可能与我们期望从结果中获益的程度有关。7了解这些以后，攀登珠穆朗玛峰的益处是否值得(人们)冒险呢？这完全由你自己决定。
