Sir Edmund Hillary was the first man to climb Mount Everest.    66   May 29, 1953，he climbed and measured the highest mountain——29,000 feet straight up. People were proud of his efforts when he came back. However, until we read his book, High Adventure, we don't understand that Hillary had to grow into this success.
In 1952, he tried to climb Mount Everest, but    67  . A few weeks later, a group in England asked him to give a    68   to its members. Hillary was given a    69   welcome when walking on stage. People there thought him as a    71  , but Edmund Hillary saw himself as a failure (失败). He moved    72   from the microphone (麦克风) and walked to the side of the stage.
He lifted one    72   and pointed at a picture of the mountain. He said in a    73   voice, “Mount Everest, you    74   me the first time, but I’ll beat you the next time    75   you’ve grown all you are going to grow, but I'm still growing!”
