  An Australian adventurer has taken on a dangerous bid to become the first kayaker(皮艇手)to paddle 1,600 kilometers(1,000 miles)from his country to New Zealand.

  Having spent five years planning his trip across the Tasman Sea, Andrew McAuley, 39, ignored strong request by marine police to stop an attempt they described as“dangerous and high-risk”.McAuley left early from Fortescue in south-eastern Tasmania on a risky journey that was expected to take a month.

  McAuley, who was last year’s Australian Geographic Adventurer of the Year, has equipped his kayak with navigation and safety equipment to protect him from the bad weather at night.Although well prepared for his 1,600-kilometre adventurous journey, he admitted on his website earlier that he was both excited and scared.“The balance of each emotion changes from time to time, but overall I can’t wait to get out there and get it done,”wrote McAuley.“I’m hungry for some paddling!”

  McAuley aims to reach New Zealand’s Milford Sound in 30 days, where he will present his passport to New Zealand customs authorities.“You know it’s a long kayak trip when you need your passport,”he said.

  McAuley admitted the Tasman crossing, which had been attempted just twice by others-unsuccessfully-would be“very hard going”.However, a wealth of experience at sea gave him some idea of what to expect, he said.

  Between 2000 and 2003, McAuley crossed the Bass Strait between Tasmania and mainland Australia three times, and last year led an 850- kilometer Antarctic kayaking expedition.In 2004, he completed the 530-kilometer Gulf of Carpentaria crossing, northern Australia, sleeping in his kayak in rough oceans for six nights and“battling salt sores, fever and encounters with sharks and sea snakes along the way”.

The people below traveled abroad. Read the following stories and decide what problem each traveler experienced while traveling.

61. _______ David got lost in an isolated place. To make matters worse, he had an accident and couldn’t walk freely. So he was in great need of timely help.

62. _______ Paul had to buy a hamburger and ate it in the park instead of eating his mother’s delicious chicken, with which he couldn’t go through the customs(海关).

63. _______ Ann was stopped at the customs because she was carrying drugs without a doctor’s prescription. How regretted she was not to have done that!

64. _______ Sally offended some of the people in the town she was visiting by wearing inappropriate clothes. She should have found out about local customs and followed them.

65. _______ Jack didn’t obtain a transit card when he changed planes at an airport, which made him very worried. There was no doubt that he was not allowed to get on board.

A  My mother was worried about me. She cooked me all my favourite dishes and put them into a box to take with me on my journey. But the customs officer inspected all the plant and animal products at the airport. Unfortunately it was illegal for me to bring into the country the kind of food my mother had given me and so it all had to be thrown away.

B  It was very hot so I put on some shorts and a T-shirt to go sightseeing. I hadn’t gone very far when I found everyone was looking at me, and they didn’t seem friendly to me. One woman even spat on me as I walked past. I decided to get off the crowded streets and so I turned down a small, quiet street.

C  During the four-day walking tour, I was amazed by mountain scenery and the ancient ruins we passed on our hike. On the last day, we arrived at the ruins of Machu Picchu in time to see the sunrise over the Andes. I spent the day visiting the ruins of that ancient Inca city before catching the train back to the capital city of the country.

D  When I got off the plane at the first airport, I saw someone handing out cards to some of the passengers, but I didn’t know what they were for, so I didn’t take one. When I tried to board the second plane they asked for my transit card, which I didn’t have. I was worried they were going to send me back to London.

E  I had been walking for about an hour when suddenly I slipped and fell down a riverbank. I hurt my ankle and couldn’t stand up. I didn’t know how I could get back to the village. I hadn’t told anyone where I was going, so no one would know where to look for me when they realized I was missing.

F  When I arrived at my destination, a customs officer at the airport looked in my bag and found the pills in a small box. He wanted to know what the pills were for and why they weren’t in their proper bottle with my name and the doctor’s name on it. I explained that the bottle had been too big and heavy. Then he wanted to know if I had a letter from my doctor explaining about the pills.
