B Islamabad, Pakistan, June 22nd—Two mountain climbers surprisingly survived a fall of over 500 feet on the 25530foot mountain in Pakistan Saturday. The two climbers were climbing an icecovered wall of the mountain when they suddenly lost their footing and fell about 560 feet to a narrow snowcovered ledge(悬崖突出部分 ) below. ―We were lucky that ledge was there,‖ said the climbers. ―Otherwise, we would have fallen over 2020 feet.‖ If the ledge had not been there, the two climbers would almost certainly have met their death. ―It’s a wonder,‖ the climbers said, ―that we landed on the ledge, and the snow was loose enough to cushion(缓冲 ) our fall. We are thankful that we survived.‖ When a reporter asked them if they planned to give up mountain climbing after their narrow escape, the two climbers replied, ―Not at all. We’ll be going back up there just as soon as we get out of the hospital.‖ mountain climbers survived because ____. A. they had fallen only 5000 feet down B. of the ledge and the loose snow on it C. of their strong bodies D. they were very good climbers。
