Question

Rudi Matt lived in a small village in the Swiss Apls in 1865. What he wanted most in the world was to climb the ______ peak（山峰）in the Alps. Rudi's mother and his uncle, Franz, a mountain guide, wanted him to stop climbing and start working in a hotel. Rudi would not ______ his dream and secretly got in touch with an English mountain climber who was planning to climb the highest peak.

Franz was very ______ when he found out what Rudi had done, but he finally agreed to let Rudi go if he went climbing, too. Franz also didn't want Emil Saxo, a guide from another village, to go to the top ______ him.

Rudi turned out to be a very good climber, but as they got close to the top, the Englishman got sick and could not go farther. Franz stayed behind to take care of him, but Saxo continued, wishing to be the ______ to the top. Rude went after Saxo, hoping to beat him to the top. When they met, Saxo fought with Rudi and fell down by accident. Saxo was helpless and hurt. Rudi must ______ whether to carry Saxo back down to safety or to continue alone to the top.

He decided Saxo's life was more important than his dream and helped him down. During that time, the Englishman and Franz continued the climb, and finally they reached the top. Later, when they returned to the village, they told people that Rudi was the real conqueror（征服者）of the mountain.
