The following is something about extreme sports: Dangerous as they are, extreme sports remain appealing among many Australian young people! Camp extreme sports 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 ¡ª 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(¸¡Á¦) aid will keep you floating when you are in the water.

Sky Diving

Traditional parachuting(ÌøÉ¡) 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 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.

With around 100 students scheduled to be in that 9 am Monday morning lecture, it is no surprise that almost 20 people actually make it to the class and only 10 of them are still awake after the first 15 minutes; it is not even a surprise that most of them are still in their pyjamas(˯ÒÂ). Obviously, students are terrible at adjusting their sleep cycles to their daily schedule.

All human beings possess a body clock. Along with other alerting(¾¯±¨)systems, this governs the sleep/wake cycle and is therefore one of the main processes which govern sleep behaviour. Typically, the preferred sleep/wake cycle is delayed in adolescents, which leads to many students not feeling sleepy until much later in the evenings. This typical sleep pattern is usually referred to as the¡°night owl¡±schedule of sleep.

This is opposed to the¡°early bird¡±schedule, and is a kind of disorder where the individual tends to stay up much past midnight. Such a person has great difficulty in waking up in the mornings. Research suggests that night owls feel most alert and function best in the evenings and at night. Research findings have shown that about 20 percent of people can be classified as¡°night owls¡±and only 10 percent can be classified as¡°early birds¡±¡ªthe other 70 percent are in the middle. Although this is clearly not true for all students, for the ones who are true night owls this gives them an excellent excuse for missing their lectures which unfortunately fall before midday.

1. What does the author stress in Paragraph 1?

A. Many students are absent from class.

B. Students are very tired on Monday mornings.

C. Students do not adjust their sleep patterns well.

D. Students are not well prepared for class on Mondays.

2.Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?

A. Most students prefer to get up late in the morning.

B. Students don¡¯t sleep well because of alerting systems.

C. One¡¯s body clock governs the sleep/wake cycle independently.

D. Adolescents¡¯delayed sleep/wake cycle isn¡¯t the preferred pattern.

3.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word ¡°classified¡±?

A. Criticised. B. Grouped. C. Organised. D. Named.

4.What does the text mainly talk about?

A. Functions of the body clock.

B. The ¡°night owl¡± phenomenon.

C. Human beings¡¯ sleep behaviour.

D. The school schedule of ¡°early birds¡±.

In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music, dance and theatre in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.

It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness, Richard Button, Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras(½»ÏìÀÖÍÅ). It became fixed event every August and now attracts 400,000 people yearly.

At the Same time, the ¡°Fringe¡± appeared as a challenge to the official festival. Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in1947, in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform, and they did so in a public house disused for years.

Soon, groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.

Today the ¡°Fringe¡±, once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theatre, music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959, with only 19 theatre groups performing, some said it was getting too big.

A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.

3.Who joined the ¡°Fringe¡± after it appeared?

A. Popular writers.

B. University students.

C. Artists from around the world.

Science can't explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the company of pets 1. help lower blood pressure and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.

Any owner will tell you 2.a comfortable life they live with a pet. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress levels and blood pressure in people - half of them pet owners ¨Cwhile they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (ËãÊõ) or held a hand in ice water. Subjects completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it 3.(well).Those tested with their animal friends had the smallest change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates.4.pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. It seems that people feel more5.(relax) around pets, says Allen,6.thinks it may be because pets don't judge.

A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only 7. (raise) your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year 8. (study) 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program. On average, people lost about 11 pounds, or 5% of their body weight. Their dogs did even better, losing an average of 12 pounds, more than 15% of their body weight. Researchers say dog owners didn't lose any more weight than those without dogs, 9. they got more exercise overall-mostly with their dogs - and found it worth doing.
