题型:不详难度:来源:
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.
小题1: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
小题2: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.
小题3:Orienteering activities can ________.
A.make people work fastB.help people stay healthy
C.help people organize other activitiesD.make people get prepared for sports

Welcome to Banff, Canada’s first, most famous and arguably most fascinating national park. If you’ve come to ski or snowboard, we’ll see you on the slopes. Skiing is a local favourite too.
While you’re here, try other recreational activities available in our mountains. Popular choices include a Banff Gondola ride up Sulphur Mountain, bathe in the natural mineral waters at the Upper Hot Spring, horse-drawn sleigh ride, drive-your-own-team dog sled excursion, and snowmobile tour to the highland(but not in the national park).
We also recommend you make time to enjoy simple pleasures. After looking around Banff Ave shops, walk a couple of blocks west or south to the scenic Bow River.
True ice skating on frozen Lake Louise where Ice Magic International Ice Sculpture Competition Works are displayed after Jan 25. You can rent skates in Banff or at the sport shop in the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise hotel.
Banff’s backcountry paths access a wilderness world of silence and matchless beauty—cross country skis and snowshoes provide the means. Banff sport shops rent equipment and clothes, or join an organized tour. Although we’ve been many times, we still find the cliffs and icefalls of our frozen canyons worth visiting.
Wildlife watching also creates satisfying memories. We have seen hundreds of the elk and bighorn sheep that attract visitors, yet they still arouse a sense of wonder. And the rare spotting of a cougar, wolf or woodland caribou takes our breath away.
See if simple pleasure work for your Fight in the snow with your kids, walk beside a stream or climb to a high place and admire the view.
