Rebecca Stevens was the first British woman to climb Mount Qomolangma．Before she went up the highest mountain in the world， 1 ．

    In 1993．  2  She found that life on Qomolangma is hard．“You must carry everything on your back�！盨he said，“So you can only take things that you will need.  3  ．a(chǎn)nd in the end I didn’t even take a toothbrush．I am usually a clean person but there is no water, only snow．Water is very heavy so you only take enough to drink!”

     4  ．it was the best moment of her life．Suddenly she became famous．

    Now she has written a book about the trip and people often ask her to talk about it．  5   ．

    Revecca is well known today and she has more money，but she still lives in the little flat in South London among her picture and books about mountains!
