题目内容

　　In the past few years ballooning has become a popular sport in the UK. Although it is still quite expensive compared with other sports, many people now think of a balloon flight as the perfect answer for a birthday present or a particular occasion. Some businesses also entertain their staff or visitors with a balloon ride and may even buy their own balloon to advertise their business products.

　　One of the best known balloon companies in the UK is based in Bristol in the west of England. Flights are available throughout the year and last for at least one hour. They usually take off soon after sunrise or a couple of hours before sunset, but they do not fly if it is raining or very windy. No special clothing is necessary other than outdoor clothing and either walking shoes or boots.

　　It seems that once people have experienced a balloon flight they can become so keen on the sport that they want to have their own balloon.

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so I find the article on the 1 side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to 2 in good health, or 3 about how to behave and conduct oneself in society.
