　　Exciting places to go and fun things to do

　　Want an exciting holiday but don’t know what you can do or where you can go? Don’t worry．Here are the top five adventure destinations selected by ?Vogue? magazine this year．

　　Diving

　　Wherever there’s a coral reef(珊瑚礁), the chances are there are divers nearby．Diving is one of the fastest-growing water sports in the world．Among the world’s favourite diving spots are the northern edge of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef(大堡礁)and the Maldive Islands(馬爾代夫群島)in the Indian Ocean．There is enough underwater activity to satisfy the most demanding diver．

　　Skiing

　　People have been skiing since 3000 BC, but the birth of modern skiing－for pleasure rather than necessity－only began in the late 19th century．Since then, winter’s top sport has become an industry．European countries, especially those along the Alps(阿爾卑斯山), are famous for their skiing spots．Norway, France and Switzerland are good choices．There you can enjoy plenty of exercise among the mountainous forests while breathing the fresh air．Within a couple of lessons, you will be gliding(滑行)through the trees in style．

　　Many beautiful mountain paths are now linked by steel cables(鋼索)and ladders．You can work your way up the kind of rocks that would otherwise be only fit for birds．Besides the proper equipment, you often need a strong will．Europe’s highest mountain, Mont Blanc(勃朗峰)at 4807 metres, is a common goal for climbers worldwide．

　　White water

　　At first it all seems rather easy as you drift(漂流)along with the gentle current(水流)－the water only occasionally reaching over the sides of your raft．And then suddenly, you realize why they call it white-water rafting．

　　First comes the dull, distant roar of rapids(水流的咆哮聲), then a wash of white water and finally the roller-coaster(過山車)ride that turns you at top speed down the river．The Bio-Bio River in Chile(智利)and the Colorado River in the US are among the finest white-water destinations．

　　Safari

　　In a zoo without bars, safaris(游獵)are adventure in the purest form．Out on safari, it is the animals who rule the land．From jeeps, you can see the struggles of life and death in a wide variety of wildlife, such as elephants, lions, birds and snakes．

　　The national parks in Africa are the perfect places for safaris．

The Maldives faces the threat of extinction from rising sea levels, but the government said on Thursday it was looking to the future with plans to build homes and a golf course that float.
An increase in sea levels of just 18 to 59 centimeters would make the Maldives -- a nation of tiny coral islands in the Indian Ocean -- virtually uninhabitable by 2100, the UN’s climate change panel has warned.
President Mohamed Nasheed has vowed a fight for survival, and last month he signed a deal with a Dutch company to study proposals for a floating structure that could support a convention centre, homes and an 18-hole golf course. “It is still early stages and we are awaiting a report on the possibility,” a government official said.
The company, Dutch Docklands, is currently building floating developments in the Netherlands and Dubai. There was no immediate comment from the firm but its website said it undertook projects that make “l(fā)and from water by providing large-scale floating constructions to create similar conditions as on land”.
The Maldives began work on an artificial island known as the Hulhumale near the crowded capital island of Male in 1997 and more than 30,000 people have been settled there to ease congestion. The city, which has a population of 100,000, is already protected from rising sea levels by a 30-million-dollar sea wall, and the government is considering increasingly imaginative ways to combat climate change.
Nasheed, who staged the world’s first underwater cabinet meeting in October to highlight his people’s dilemma , has even spoken of buying land elsewhere in the world to enable Maldivians to relocate if their homes are flooded. He has also pledged the Hulhumale to turn his nation into a model for the rest of the world by becoming “carbon neutral” by 2020. His plan involves ending fossil fuel use and powering all vehicles and buildings from “green” sources.
1. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The Maldives plans to build floating homes for the rising sea level.
B. The Maldives’s president signed a deal with a Dutch company.
C. The Maldives staged the first underwater cabinet meeting.
D. The Maldives is considering ways to fight against the global warming.
2. Which statement is true about the Hulhumale?
A. The Hulhumale is a natural island near the capital of Male.
B. The Hulhumale is an artificial island to be built near the capital.
C. The Hulhumale was built in 1997 and has settled over 30,000 people.
D. The Hulhumale is protected by a 30-million-dollar sea wall.
3. According to the passage, the underlined word congestion means _______.
A. being endangered                     B. being crowded   
C. being flooded                        D. being disappearing
4. Which of the following is NOT Nasheed’s idea?_______
A. To purchase land elsewhere in the world to help Maldivians to relocate if their homes are flooded.
B. To make his nation a model for the rest of the world by becoming “carbon neutral” by 2020
C. To stop using fossil fuel and power all vehicles and buildings from “green” sources.
