Sir Edmund Hillary is famous for being the first person to climb Mt. Everest(珠穆朗玛峰). What many people do not know is that Sir Hillary did not make it to the top of Everest the first time he tried. The first attempt was a complete failure. His climbing party met with one problem after another and more than half his climbing party died.
However, the British Parliament(议会)decided to honor him with some type of award. When he entered the reception room to receive his award, Sir Hillary saw that a large picture of Everest had been set up. He walked over to the picture, shook his fist at it and said, “You won, this time. But you are as big as you are ever going to get. And I’m still growing.”

第七部分：书面表达（共1小题，满分20分） One possible version:
The story mainly narrates that the first person succeeding in climbing Mt. Everest failed at first. However, faced with unchanged obstacles, Edmund gathered courage to keep growing and finally succeeded in conquering both the mountain and himself.
Success is composed of unexpected twists and turns and the journey is painstaking, but many strong-willed people can keep overcoming obstacles until they succeed. For example, Abraham Lincoln once underwent failure for many times during elections, but he kept pursuing his goal of becoming a president instead of doubting himself.
Just as Henry Ford once put it, “Failure is only the opportunity to begin again, only more wisely this time”. In my opinion, the key to success lies in the lessons we draw from failure. Firstly, it’s of great necessity to seek hope and gather courage. Secondly, we’d better adjust previous goals into more reasonable ones for each period and try to achieve them down to earth. In a word, we should stay growing by being more courageous and perseverant, and only in this way can we make failure a stepping, some to success.
