As darkness fell, hundreds of people in the Swiss village left their houses. They were looking
16 at the mountain top in the distance. It was covered with ice and snow beautiful but
17 .
The huge mountain is called Matterhorn. The mountain climbers had
18 the top,using the southern route（路线）. But no one had ever
19 to try a winter climbing up the northern route. But now one man was daring（敢） to try the
20 route. He was Walter Bonatti, a great mountain climber from Italy.
For two days he had climbed. The village people had
21 him anxiously(担心地). Now they were waiting to see his
22 . If he planned to
23 the next day，he would light a green signal. A red light would mean that he gave up.
A tiny green light
24 high on the mountain side. Bonatti was not giving up！The people
25 .
The next day he
26 his way upward(向上). He was so lonely and so
27 ！But he would not give up. Again that night he lit the
28 light.
In the morning, Bonatti
29 up. He could not see the top，but he knew he was
30 there. Though the climb was painful，he moved up.
Bonatti had spent months
31 for the climb. Was the training enough? Did he have the strength and
32 to climb to the top?
He was
33 at the top！News about his victory（胜利） was radioed to the world.
The trip
34 the northern route was hard. However, He was warmly welcomed in the village. He had done the “
35 ,” and would be well remembered as a climber forever.
