Adventure Travel
Why do people travel? Well, many people travel because they want to see other countries
and visit places that are famous, interesting or beautiful. People also travel to meet new
friends, to try new kinds of food, to experience life in other parts of the world or simply
to get away from cold weather. Yet there are other reasons why people travel. Many of
today"s travelers are looking for an unusual experience and adventure travel is becoming
more and more popular. Here is a quick look at two popular activities: hiking and rafting.
HIKING
Instead of spending your vacation on a bus, in a hotel or sitting on the beach, you may
want to try hiking. Hiking is a great way to travel. You will get close to nature and take
exercise at the same time. Hiking is easy to do and doesn"t have to be very expensive. You
can hike close to home or travel to other places. The basic equipment you need for hiking
is simple: good shoes, clothes and backpack. You can hike in the mountains, in a forest or
along a river. You can also go for a hike in the city.
Hiking is fun and exciting, but you shouldn"t forget safety. Here are some basic tips
for successful hiking:
★ Hike with your friends.
★ Tell someone where you are going.
★ Bring water and good map.
★ Watch out for dangers, such as spiders, snakes or poisonous plants.
★ Wear a hat to protect yourself from the sun.
★ Bring a cell phone if you have one.
Rafting
Another exciting adventure is rafting. A raft is a small boat that you can use to
paddle (划桨) down rivers and streams. Rafting is a good way to experience nature. If you
want a normal rafting trip, choose a quiet stream or river that is wide and has few fallen
trees or rocks. If you are looking for more excitement, you may want to try white-water
rafting. White-water rafting is more adventurous and difficult than normal rafting. It is
done on rivers and streams where the water moves quickly. You have to be careful not to
hit rocks, trees and other dangers. The name "white-water" comes from the fact the water
in these rivers and streams looks white when it moves quickly.
As with hiking, you should always think about your safety and wear good clothes. You
also need to learn the basic skills of rafting, such as how to get in and out of the raft.
You should not go rafting unless you know how to swim, and you should always wear a life
jacket. |

drive for a certain amount of time. What are the purposes of this system?
This is a system designed to make roads safer. It can improve standards (水平) of
driving and reduce the accident rates.

direct effects (影响) on road safety are included. There are altogether fourteen items.
