It’s great fun to explore(探索) new places—it feels like an adventure,even when you know you’re not the first to have been there.But make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles.

●Do the map reading if you’re being driven somewhere.It’ll be easier if you keep turning the map so it follows the direction you’re traveling in.Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn,or you’ll have to move to the back seat.

●Get a group of friends together and go exploring.You’ll need a good map,a compass(指南针),a raincoat,a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost,and a bit of spare cash for emergencies(应急现金).Tell someone where you’re going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back.The test is in not getting lost,not in seeing how fast you can go,so always stick together,waiting for slower friends to catch up.

●See if your school or a club organizes orienteering activities,in which you need a map and a compass to find your way.This can be done as a sport,with teams trying to find the way from A to B(and B to C,etc.) in the fastest time,or simply as a spare-time activity.Either way,it’s not only good fun,but a great way to keep fit.

Sitting beside the driver,you should ______.

A.direct the driver when necessary

B.look ahead to see where there’s a turn

C.move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortable

D.keep looking at the map to find a place to go to

Why do you need to tell someone your exploration plan before setting out?

A.To get information when in danger.

B.To be saved in case of an accident.

C.To share the fun with him/her in exploration.

D.To tell him/her what’s going on with the group members.

Orienteering activities can ______.

A.make people work fast

B.help people stay healthy

C.help people organize other activities

D.make people get prepared for sports

D.how to prevent getting lost in exploration

  Let’s face it-English is a crazy language.There is no egg in eggplant(茄子)nor ham in hamburger; Neither apple nor pine in pineapple.English muffins(松饼)weren’t invented in England or French fries in France.Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.

  We take English for granted.But if we explore its paradox(似是而非的说法), we find that quicksand(流沙)can work slowly, boxing rings are square and guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is a pig.

  If teachers taught, why didn’t preachers praught?If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

  How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike?How can a person be“pretty ugly”?

  You have to marvel at the unique lunacy(荒谬)of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which an alarm clock goes off by going on.Why is a“crazy man”an insult(侮辱), while to insert a comma and say“crazy, man”is a compliment(as when clapping for a Jazz performance).

  English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race(which, of course, isn’t a race at all).That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this essay, I end it.
