四、阅读理解
Jerry is a world - famous mountain climber. He has climbed many high mountains in the world. Since 2015, he and his friends spent two years on an adventure（探险）in South America, covering 7 800 miles. He was even named Adventurer of the Year by a famous geography magazine.
Although Jerry had achieved great success, he didn't feel satisfied. He asked himself, “Is it enough to climb the high mountains? Am I doing anything helpful? How can I turn my adventures into something that can help the world?”
Jerry learned that scientists need plants, rocks and water samples（样本）from the places far away to do research. But scientists can't get there themselves as such places are hard to reach — only the bravest adventurers can make it. Jerry thought himself could do something to help. He then came up with an idea. He set up a team of top adventurers to collect samples for scientists. By studying the samples, scientists could know more about the Earth and find ways to protect it.
Recently Jerry and his friends have discovered a special plant in Mount Qomolangma. The samples they brought back have helped scientists know how plants live in extreme（极端的）condition.
For Jerry, this kind of adventure is the most satisfying. “Such adventures have made us see life in a different way. Now, being the best climber isn't important for me. What matters is doing something helpful while climbing the mountains. There is still much more we can do,” Jerry said to a newspaper.
