丹尼爾好像更喜歡滑雪，于是就慫恿好朋友湯姆一起來到了滑雪場。運氣還真不錯，碰到了滑雪俱樂部的表演，看兩個小家伙都在討論些什么呢！

Tom: Wow, this is amazing. I'm glad we've come here. So cool.

Daniel: I always love skiing. You know, it's a cool game for cool people. Stay with me and you will be cool, too.

Tom: Hey, look over there. It seems that there is something interesting going on. Let's go and have a look.

Daniel: Sure. It's probably the skiing show. Adam told me there were many skiing clubs whose members put on shows to attract more visitors.

(They come to see the skiing show.)

Tom: See that. It's so dangerous. My mom would never allow me to do that.

Daniel: Hey, don't be so pathetic. It's a maximal sports show. What else can they do to attract more visitors? Stop all this fuss and enjoy the show.

Tom: You are right. But what if the avalanche happened?

Daniel: They are all very experienced and great skiers. So I suppose the chance for them to be buried by an avalanche is slim.

Tom: Anyway, the show is breathtaking. By the way, where did they get so much snow in here?

Daniel: Don't you know that? Are you kidding me?

Tom: Hey, not everyone is as lucky as you to have a father who is a scientist.

Daniel: Sorry. Well, they have the most advanced snowmaking machine.

Tom: Do you think the snowmaking may cause pollution?

Daniel: It's possible. But the boss here said they were doing whatever they can.

Tom: It's a good thing. OK, let's go skiing.

Daniel: Here we go.

聽看學(xué)
湯姆：哇，這真是太棒了。真高興我們到這里來。太酷了。

丹尼爾：我總是很喜歡滑雪。你知道，這是給酷人玩的酷游戲。跟我一起你也會變酷。

湯姆：嗨，看那邊。那邊好像有挺有趣的事。我們過去看看吧。

丹尼爾：行，那很可能是滑雪表演。亞當(dāng)告訴我這里有很多滑雪俱樂部，它們的成員會進行表演來吸引更多的游客。

（他們來看滑雪表演。）

湯姆：看那個。那太危險了。我媽媽永遠都不會讓我做那個的。

丹尼爾：嗨，別那么可憐兮兮的了。這可是極限表演。否則他們還能做什么吸引游客??？別大驚小怪了，我們好好看表演吧。

湯姆：好吧。不過，要是發(fā)生雪崩怎么辦呢？

丹尼爾：他們個個都是經(jīng)驗豐富的出色滑雪者，所以我猜他們被雪崩埋葬的可能性極小。

湯姆：不管怎樣，這表演真是激動人心。對了，他們從哪兒弄這么多雪到這里的？

丹尼爾：你難道不知道嗎？你是在跟我開玩笑的吧？

湯姆：嗨，不是每個人都像你那么幸運有一個當(dāng)科學(xué)家的老爸的。

丹尼爾：對不起。這個，他們有最先進的造雪設(shè)備。

湯姆：你覺得造雪會引起污染嗎？

丹尼爾：那是有可能的。不過，這里的老板說過他們會盡可能避免污染。

湯姆：那還不錯。好了，我們?nèi)セ┌伞?/p>

丹尼爾：走嘍！

Mount Qomolangma

Mount Jolmo Lungma is the highest mountain in the world and it is situated in the middle of the Himalayas on the border between China and Nepal. It stands 8848 meters above sea level, and is covered by snow all year round. As the world's highest mountain, it was thought to be too dangerous to climb for a long time. But in 1953, a New Zealander reached the top of it successfully.
