17．Jumping off random cliffs（懸崖） into the sea is not clever．However，as a sport，coasteering uses local experts to help groups travel around the coast so they can then jump safely and have a lot of fun in the process．But coasteering is also so much more than cliff jumping．
A usual day's coasteering will involve swimming，climbing，scrambling（攀巖） and cliff jumping．All trips begin with a safety brief and equipment check．You will be equipped with a helmet，wetsuit and life vest．You will need to wear some old sneakers you don't mind getting wet．
From here it could be a short swim to the first jump site．Following an instructor，you swim through rock pools，around rough rocks and right up to the next jump spot．A brief climb and you'll be standing on the edge wondering，"Why the hell did I agree to this？"Then，and to the yell of your friends，you're leaping in，with a smile that's guaranteed to last the rest of the day．
Coasteering is certainly more than cliff jumping．If ever a sport could claim to be confidence building，this is it．And it's also a perfect activity for groups of friends or for adventurous families who want to explore the coast．Many companies offer daily trips，so even if you are on your own or a couple you can join in with a large group．Companies use trained guides with much knowledge of local tides and weather conditions．These people lead the show and are qualified lifesavers as well．
Coasteering is already popular around the UK．At least now you won't have to ask"What is coasteering？"if someone you know gives it a go．

24．What is coasteering？C
A．A daily sightseeing trip
B．A non-expert guided diving

D．You gained complete relief

7．If you're a male and you're reading this，congratulations!You're a survivor．According to statistics，you're more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer than a woman，and nine times more likely to die of AIDS．Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term，about 78years for men in Australia，you'll die on average five years before a woman．
There're many reasons for this-typically，men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke but perhaps more importantly，men don't go to the doctor．
"Men aren't seeing doctors as often as they should，"says Dr．Gullotta．"This is particularly so for the over-40s，when diseases tend to strike．According to a recent survey，95% of women aged between 15and early 40s see a doctor once a year，compared to 70% of men in the same age group．
"A lot of men think they're unbeatable，"Gullotta says．"They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think，"Geez，if it could happen to him…"
Then there's the ostrich（鴕鳥(niǎo)） approach．"Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know，"says Dr．Ross Cartmill．
"Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies，"Cartmill says．He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups．"Prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases．Besides，the final cost is far greater，it's called premature death（過(guò)早死亡）．"
13．Why does the author congratulate male readers at the beginning of the passage？C
A．They can live longer than they expected．
B．They are sure to enjoy a longer and happier life．
C．They have lived long enough to read this article．
D．They are more likely to survive serious diseases now．
14．Which of the author's statements is the most important reason that men die five years earlier on average than women according to the passage？B
A．Men drink and smoke much more than women．
B．Men don't seek medical care as often as women．
C．Men are more likely to suffer from deadly diseases．
D．Men aren't as cautious as women in face of danger．
15．What does Dr．Ross Cartmill mean by"the ostrich approach"（in Para 5）？D
A．A casual attitude towards one's health conditions．
B．A new treatment for certain psychological problems．
C．Refusal to get medical treatment for fear of the pain involved．
D．Unwillingness to find out about one's disease because of fear．

The caveman says he likes his home，but also admits that he looks forward to getting his pension in three years．He says he's in good health and can definitely survive another three years，when he will actually be getting two pensions，one from Bosnia and another from Germany．He hopes to be able to finally afford a proper home．

9．I stopped at my bank last week to deposit a check．I could have used the ATM，but I am so glad that I didn't because if I had，I probably would not have met Harold．
There were 3 or 4 people ahead of me in the line-up，so I amused myself by watching TV，just waiting my turn．Moments passed．Then，directly in front of me，a tiny elder woman，who was now first in line，started toward one of the counters．But the customer before her didn't finish，so she had to step back．Her backward movement caused my attention to be drawn to the customer directly ahead of us．As he was facing the counter，I could see only his white hair and the bright red team jacket．I heard him say to the teller in a deep，strong voice…"Have a Great Day!"and the teller replied，"You too，Harold-see you next week!"
The impatient woman again made her move，heading for the counter．As she passed him，Harold looked up，directly at me，saying，"You are a handsome man，sir．"I was so surprised by his statement and struck by the genuine warmth and generosity that filled it that I blurted out"Thank you，sir．"instantly reaching out to shake his hand，out even realizing that he was walking with a walking stick．He switched it to his left hand and took my hand in his warm and firm grip．"I really care about you!"He spoke again．Then he reached out to the next person in line and said，"I really care about you，too!"
I was so overcome by his innocent and sincere gift!He was like a 4-year-old，who walked up to everyone，inviting them to play with him．I wondered to myself afterwards．How was he attained this state of grace？Imagine the warm feeling he leaves behind his as he sails through this world，touching people for just a moment．He dropped a stone into the peaceful ocean of my reality that is still rippling outward as you hear and hopefully，some of what Harold so unselfishly pass on to me，that In attempt to pass on to you-I really care about you!
