13、imbing Qomolangma is an experience like no other，making some feel weak and others，powerful.2British mountain climber George Mallory wrote of climbing Qomolangma，“What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy.We do not live to eat and make money.We eat and make money to be able to enjoy life.That

19、our desire to seek risks can be connected to how much we expect to benefit from the result.7With this in mind，are the benefits of climbing Qomolangma worth the risks? Its totally up to you.译文参考攀登珠穆朗玛峰：值得冒险吗？1去年，许多人把大笔的钱花在一次经历上，他们知道该经历中有拥挤、不舒适和危险。许多人会生病，由于极端寒冷和低气压，一些人甚至会失去他们的生命。然而，尽管如此，到旅行结束时，许多人已经计划
20、返回。对于这些人来说，攀登珠穆朗玛峰是一种与众不同的体验，能让一些人感到软弱，让另一些人感到强大。2英国登山家乔治马洛里在谈到攀登珠穆朗玛峰时写道：“我们从这次冒险中得到的只是纯粹的快乐我们活着不是为了吃饭和赚钱。我们吃饭赚钱是为了享受生活。这就是生命的意义和目的所在。遗憾的是，马洛里于1924年死在了山上，虽然他的尸体直到许多年后才被找到。目前还不清楚他是否在丢掉性命之前成功登上珠峰峰顶。32011年，美国登山运动员艾伦阿内特(Alan Arnette)说了类似于马洛里的一些话。当年，阿内特登上了珠穆朗玛峰，并打算登上世界各地的其他高山。“它会让你关注对你来说重要的事情。”他补充道。“停下脚
21、步，原路返回的理由成千上万；继续前行的理由只有一个。”你必须专注于一个对你来说最重要、最独特的原因。它迫使你审视自己的内心深处，弄清楚自己是否真的有足够的体力和脑力，当你想停下来的时候去推动它。”4大多数攀登珠穆朗玛峰的尝试要么完全成功，要么彻底失败，那么在这种冒险行为背后是否也有科学依据呢？最近的研究表明冒险是人类天性的一部分，我们中的一些人比其他人更有可能去冒险。心理学家弗兰克法利(Frank Farley)多年来一直在研究那些跳出飞机、开快车和爬珠穆朗玛峰的人。他把这些人的性格称为“T型”，“T”代表“激动”。5法利在接受洛杉矶时报采访时谈到了“T型”人格，他说：“他们会说，我不是在冒险，我是专家他们不想死，也不期待死。”6研究还表明，我们寻求风险的欲望与我们期望从结果中获益的程度有关。7考虑到这一点，攀登珠穆朗玛峰的好处值得冒险吗？这完全取决于你。
