1 : Read the passage carefully and answer the following question:
THE HIMALAYAS
The Himalayas are the highest range of mountains in the world. The name-‘Himalayas’ means
‘land of snow’ and this is a suitable description as these high mountains are always covered in
snow. These mountains run from Pakistan in the west to Tibet in the east, a distance of 2,500
kilometers (1,500 miles).The highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest, is in the Himalaya
range. It is 8,863 meters(29,079 feet) high.

Before the invention of the airplane few visitors had ever been to the Himalayas. There are no
roads or railways. For this reason, the summit of Mount Everest was not conquered until 1953.In
that year the British Everest Expedition set off to climb to the summit. The final assault was
undertaken by Edmund Hillary from New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay, a Sherpa tribesman.
They reached the summit and were the first people to stand on the ‘roof of the world’. News of
their success reached Britain on the day of queen Elizabeth’s coronation on June 2, 1953.
