My mother was a true believer in the power of education to change lives.
She was a teacher who worked for more than 30 years educating students in the Washington, D. C. public school system. At home, she taught me one thing above all: education matters. It's the one thing that no one can ever take away from you.
Those words have made all the difference in my life. I took them to heart, pushing myself to be the best student I could be. I started my schooling at a local elementary school, and entered a good school for junior high. I worked hard there too. And won a scholarship to attend high school at one of Washington's best private schools. From there, I got into Harvard, and with my moth-er's words ringing in my ears every step of the way, ended up earning three degrees.
My mother was right, of course. My education has given me a varied and highly rewarding career path in the public and private sectors. It's shaped how I spend my free time and how I help others. Perhaps most importantly, it's been extremely rewarding on a personal level. I count myself a“ lifelong learner” who will never close the book on my own education.
I am so grateful for my mother's kindness and how she shaped my life.

China will cut the number of climbers trying to climb Mount Qomolangma from the north this year as part of plans for the clean-up on the world's highest mountain. The clean-up activity will include moving away the bodies of climbers who died at more than 8, 000 meters up the mountain.
The total number of climbers trying to reach the top of the world's highest mountain from the north will be controlled to less than 300. The climbing season will be controlled to spring.
Parts of Qomolangma are in China and Nepal. Each year, around 60, 000 climbers and guides visit the Chinese north side of the mountain, but few actually try to climb it. China has set up stations to sort, recycle and break down rubbish from the mountain, which includes cans, plastic bags, tents and oxygen tanks(氧气瓶).
On the Nepalese side, mountaineering trip organizers have begun sending huge rubbish bags to climbers during the spring climbing season. They should collect rubbish that then can be carried by helicopters(直升机) back to the base camp.
Every year there are many victims on Qomolangma often in the“ death area” above 8, 000 meters, where the air is the thinnest. In 2017, 648 people reached the top of Qomolangma. Six people died on the mountain that year, one of whom on the north side.
Qomolangma has become the world's highest rubbish dump(垃圾场). Meanwhile, melting ice caused by global warming is exposing(裸漏) rubbish that has been left on the mountain since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay made the first successful climbing 69 years ago.
31. What can we infer(推断) from the first paragraph
A. Mountain Qomolangma is cleaned up every year.

34. What does the underlined word“ victims” mean
