A
Dangerous as
they are, extreme sports remain appealing among many Australian young people!
Camp Extreme is the perfect test of your heart.
Kite Surfing
It’s the exciting mixture of
kite, board and waves. The idea of using a kite to accelerate speed seems like
a new challenge, yet the art of kite flying dates back to the 13th-century
Chinese when
it was used as a simple means of transport.
Catch a wind and you’re moving — up,
down and across the surf. “It’s always exciting. You’d jump 5 feet or 35 feet.
You never know if you’re going to go up in the air, and your heart is just
going boom, boom, boom.”
Coasteering
It is by far the best activity
and the event that everyone is still talking about. This is exploring the
coastline without worrying about a coastal path or finding a rocky bay blocking
your route. You climb, dive and swim from one place to another. With Coasteering,
you don’t have to be able to swim as the wet suit and buoyancy(浮力) aid will keep you floating when you are in the water.
Sky Diving
Traditional parachuting(跳伞) doesn’t sound risky enough. So now sky diving is the name for
jumping from a plane and listening to your heart beating heavily as you move
fast towards the earth before you open your parachute at the last moment.
Mountain Biking It’s been around so long that bikers
are no longer satisfied with just going up and down a mountain. Mountain biking
is a sport which consists of riding bicycles off-road, often over rough land,
using specially adapted mountain bikes. Mountain bikes share similarities with
other bikes, but include features designed to improve strength and performance
in rough areas.

B
My wife Laura and I were on the beach, with
three of our children, taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska
when we spotted a bear. The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly.
Just a few minutes later, I heard my
daughter shouting, “Dad! The bear is right behind us!” An aggressive bear will
usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the
last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back—the sign of an animal that is going
in for the kill.And it was a cold April day.The bear behaved abnormally,
probably because of hunger.
I held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier
as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and
shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found
myself supporting its weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.
Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I
was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little
chance of running faster than a brown bear.
The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off
the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on
the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed
that my bones were going to break.
Drawing back my free hand, I struck the
bear as hard as I could for five to six times. The bear opened its mouth and I
grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling (扭打) with the bear at this point.
Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back toward
the forest, before returning for another attack.The first time I felf panic. Apparently
satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a
fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have
been better. I’m proud that my family remainded clear-headed when panic could
have led to a very different outcome.
25. The whole text is mainly arranged in_________.
A. result and inference B.
cause and effect
C. space order D. time order
26. The bear finally went away after it _________ .
A. felt safe B. got injured
C. found some food D.
took away the camera
27. The writer and his family survived mainly due to their
_________ .
A. calmness B. patience C. pride
D. cautiousness
28. When the bear moved back towards the forest, the family
felt ________ .
A. excited B. threatened C. relieved D.
puzzled
