　　Want to travel to some wonderful places? Here are just a few recommendations to eco destinations：

　　Africa Madagascar

　　Home to a huge group of animals found nowhere else on the planet, Madagascar is a must-go destination for anyone impressed with, or even slightly interested in, the natural world．Some of the unique flora(植物群)and fauna(动物群)can be found on this wonderful island．

　　America St John(US Virgin Islands)

　　Though it's the smallest of the US Virgin Islands, St John has a surprisingly varied scenery．Virgin Islands National Park makes up two-thirds of its land, where visitors can hike in deep valleys, over mountains and across dry coastal areas．

　　Europe Iceland

　　As one might expect from a country whose name is “ice”, Iceland's scenery is rough．Take a hike past lava fields, glaciers and waterfalls and feel amazed at the wildlife and natural wonders．Visit between fall and spring to catch a sight of the Northern Lights．

　　Asia Laos

　　Visit Laos for a look at southeast Asia before the tourism industry exploded．Laos is slow paced so visitors can view the varieties of historic sights and explore the jungle and mountain scenery away from the madding crowds．Bird-watching is excellent here．

　　Oceania Australia

　　Visit here and you'll find the Great Barrier Reef, which is one of the seven wonders of the natural world．It is larger than the Great Wall of China and the only living thing on earth visible from space．Discover more about Australia's greatest natural wonder．Here you can also see great coral．

Just as mankind has always had a desire to fly, the human race has wanted to swim under the water since prehistoric times. Pictures of primitive devices to enable people to breathe underwater have been found dating from 3000 years ago, but our dream of moving freely beneath the ocean waves for long periods of time was only realized about 60 years ago, when French diving legend Jacques Cousteau developed the first practical Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus(SCUBA). Since then the sport of SCUBA diving has gone from strength to strength.
Lovers of SCUBA diving like the feeling of weightlessness, the peace and quiet under the water, the ability to move in three dimensions and the sense of adventure they get while on a dive. SCUBA divers often travel to some of the most beautiful and remote places in the world in the search for rare underwater flora and fauna(动、植物). Palau, The Red Sea, The Maldives and Hawaii have many of the most popular diving sites, but recreational divers often have to make do with less exotic local destinations, like the North Sea in Britain.
SCUBA diving is not without its dangers, however. The mixture of nitrogen and oxygen divers breathe underwater, combined with the pressure under the water can be deadly if a diver rises too quickly to the surface, causing a condition called ‘the bends’. Divers can also get lost or trapped when diving on wrecks, and fatalities(死亡)are particularly common in cave diving, where divers add to the dangers of diving by swimming through underground caves filled with water. Diving can also be harmful to the underwater environment. However with proper precautions diving can open up a whole new world, far from the stresses of daily life.
63. What is the writer trying to do in the text?
A. Advertise some popular diving sites.

D. Divers always face the pressures in their life.
65. How might the writer describe SCUBA diving?
A. Interesting. B. Relaxing. C. Frightening D. Unpleasant.
66. What do you think the author is most likely to suggest if he continues to write?
A. Getting out to dive underwater. B. Stopping damaging environment.
C. Making better use of SCUBA. D. Getting over the troubles of daily life.
