Sherpas are believed to have come from Tibet into the valleys near Mount Everest about 500 years ago. Today, they are considered the world's best mountain guides.
Five Sherpas tell the stories behind why they climb for a living, despite the job's many difficulties.
Dorje: Being a mountain guide is the only profession for Sherpas as we don't have enough education for other jobs. This is the reason why we climb. We know it's a dangerous job, but we need the money to raise our families and improve our lives.
Yangzi: My father was also a guide for foreigners, but he never succeeded in getting to the top. So the reason I am climbing is to fulfill the dreams of my father, who inspired me. In the past, women were only involved in household activities. Even though I am female, I have the courage to work just like a man.
Panura: I have to perform this dangerous job because of a lack of education. I will educate my child the best way possible, and hope he can find another job. I don't want him to be a guide. I lost my brother to the mountains. Many have lost their lives to accidents. It is just not a safe job.
Dawa: Things are different now. We used to organize night parties. We would make a campfire at Base Camp. We enjoyed our nights with traditional dance and cheap rice wine. But
our traditions are slowly dying. There is a chance that Sherpa culture might disappear. We have to think about saving one another, our culture, our traditions.
Phutashi: If everyone is aware, we can save our culture. Nothing is impossible. Without Sherpas, it is impossible for Western climbers. In every expedition, the path is opened by Sherpas, the ropes are fixed by Sherpas, and the westerners are taken care of by Sherpas. But they forget about what we do to help them. Our hard work and dedication is kept in the shadows. 57. According to the Sherpas, what is the main reason that they climb for a living? A. They are born mountain climbers.
B. They are not educated enough to do other jobs. C. They think it a perfect way to earn big money. D. They want to protect their own culture. 58. Whose father was also a mountain guide? A. Dawa's. B. Dorje's. C. Yangzi's. D. Panura's.
59. Which Sherpas show concern about maintaining their culture? A. Yangzi and Phutashi. B. Dorje and Panura.
C. Dawa and Phutashi. D. Panura and Dawa.
60. Which of the following statements about Western climbers would Phutashi agree with? A. They always pay their guides a fair price.
B. They do not appreciate the work of the Sherpa guides. C. They are more skilful than the Sherpa climbers. D. They are important for the local economy.
