Question

请根据短文内容, 回答下面问题.

Ed Dohring, a doctor from Arizona, had dreamed his whole life of reaching the top of Mount Qomolangma(珠穆朗玛峰). But when he succeeded a few days ago, he was surprised by what he saw.

Climbers were pushing and moving to take selfies(自拍). The summit(顶峰),  which is about the size of two ping-pong tables, was filled with 15 or 20 people. To get up there, he had to wait hours in a line, chest to chest, on an icy mountain.

He even had to walk across the body of a woman who had just died.

“It was very terrible, "he said by telephone from Nepal, where he was resting in a hotel room. " It was like a zoo.”

This has been one of the most dangerous climbing seasons on Mount Qomolangma, with at least 10 deaths. And some seem to be avoidable. Climbers themselves are often so driven to finish their goal that they may keep going even if they see the dangers.

Sometimes these trips go very wrong.

From interviews with several climbers, it seems that as the groups get closer to the summit, the pressure increases.

“A lot of people could only worry about themselves and nobody thinks about those who are in danger, "Ms Deryan said.“It is a question of ethics(道德)," she added.“You find out that if you help, you are going to die.”
