Amanda  :  Welcome to Sky's the Limit. I'm your host, Amanda Skye. We have a great show in store ⓐ(of / for) you today. Erik Weihenmayer, a former middle school teacher ⓑ(from / into) Connecticut is here with us. He is also a skydiver, a long distance cyclist and a rock climber. ⓒ(If / whether) that's not impressive ⓓ( much / enough), he reached the peak of Mount Everest in 2001. ⓔ(As / In) you know, ninety percent of the people ⓕ(that / which) attempt ⓖ(climbing / to climb) Mount Everest never reach the top. Still not ⓗ(impressing / impressed)? Well, Erik is blind. He lost his eyesight at the age of 13. Let's ⓘ(meet / to meet)  him now. So, what's your reason ⓙ(for / to) learning English? Is it the same as one of these people's, or is it something different? No matter ⓚ(that / what) your motivation may be, English is a useful tool for ⓛ(achieving / achieve) your goals, and you may find it can serve ⓜ(as / so) "the wind beneath your wings."

Amanda : How could you make the climb Ⓐ(though / through) you can't see?

Erik :  I used special methods and tools to make the climb. My teammates wore bells on their clothing. I followed the sound of the bells up to the top.

You feel hungry and tired, and you feel like you need the warmth of friends and people around you. So it's a very Ⓓ(humbling / humbled) feeling, not a conquering feeling. I guess the top of the mountain is just the goal. Ⓔ(Once / One) you get to the top, it's pretty cool, but you're only there for 15 minutes, and you're like "Wow, I can't believe I did this." You feel great, but you feel Ⓕ(tiring / tired) and went to get down.
