Lesson4 Journey to the Antarctic素材WHAT ARE YOU FEELINGWhen I visited New Zealand last year,I went bungee jumping for the first time.It was a fun but scary experience.When my mum saw the photo of me jumping off a bridge,she made me promise that I’d never do it again.【问题导入】How do you think of the extreme sports or games like bungee jumping?If one of your loved people wants to try such games,what will you suggest to him/her?Will you supportthem or stop them?Will you yourself try such sports and games?A teenager:That’s amazing!Just imagine that:Fall down from a height of 100 metres with your head pointing down!Oh,I can’t breath merely think of that.A mother:I am definitely against the game.Can’t you see how dangerous it is?My god,who mad enough to create such a crazy thing!A girl having experienced that:Ha,to tell the truth,I thought I would die at the moment I dropped rapidly down to the surface of the lake.But you see,everything went fine.I even want to try it another time.Maybe from a plane next time—who knows!A doctor:There is usually not real danger of death to people who play such extreme sports.But it is really dangerous to the people whose hearts are not strong enough.My view:_____________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________【话题链接】IS THERE REAL SNOWMAN IN HIMALAYAN?The snowman,a legend having been puzzling scientists all over the world for decades,is still a hot point of argument between them.Someone said there lives the snowman,which look like apes and have IQ maybe lower than man but higher than ape man.Others said there is no so calledsnowman,but a kind of brown bear living in the mountain.【话题导入】If there is no such man like creature,why so many people claimed that they had seen them,at least their footprints in the mountain?If there is,can they talk?What are they living on?How many are there?Is it possible for them to live with man?...Discuss with your classmates on the questions above and note down their ideas.Extreme SportsSummer’s just around the corner,encouraging some to dust off the tennis racket or rummage(搜出) round the cupboard for the cricket bat.But for some in Britain traditional outdoor pursuits are just not enough.So how do extreme sports devotees(献身者) get their kicks(get astrong feeling of excitement or pleasure)?Extreme sports are about exhilaration(extreme excitement),skill and danger.They do not normally involve teams and there are very few rules.People who take part use their skills and experience to control the risks.That control is what makes them sports and not just dangerous behaviour.Here are just some of the extreme sports which are popular in Britain:Kitesurfing:a growing band of enthusiasts(狂热者) have been discovering the thrilling combination of kite(a paper or cloth covered frame flown in the air at the end of a long string using the power of the wind),board and waves.These kites can be up to 17 metres long.Catch a gust and you’re motoring(moving)—up,down and across the surf.British Ladies kitesurfingchampion Jo Wilson says:“It’s always an adrenalin(肾上腺素) rush(a strong feeling of excitement mixed with fear).It s unpredictable.You could jump 5ft or 35ft.You never know if you’re going to go up in the air,and your heart is just going boom,boom,boom all the time.”Coasteering:this is exploring the coastline without worrying about a coastal path or finding a rocky cliffy cove(a small sheltered opening in the coastline,a bay)blocking your route.You climb,dive,swim and clamber(climb with difficulty,using both the feet and hands) from A toB.There are about 15 operators in the UK offering coasteering.Sky diving:traditional parachuting(跳伞) just doesn’t sound risky enough,does it?So now skydiving is the name for jumping from a plane and listening to your heart pounding(beating heavily)as you hurtle(move very fast)towards earth before you open your parachute at the last moment.Once you’ve got a few jumps under your parachute you can throw in(add)some extra risks,for example try a ‘hook turn’(a fast turn close to the ground used to land at high speed).Dean Dunbar is a participant(参与者) of and his first sky dive was in 1998.Since then he’s been hooked on the buzz(嗡嗡声) of the extreme(addicted to the excitement of doing extreme sports),saying:“Every so often I have to go out and do something scary.”Mountain biking:it’s been around so long that bikers are no longer satisfied with just going up and down a mountain.Nowadays thrill seeking(looking for excitement) mountain bikers want a big slope to go down very,very fast.“It’s pure mad,downhill,” according to Dean Dunbar.“People go to old ski resorts(手段),take the chair lift to the top then bomb down(go down with greatspeed)—amazingly not killing themselves.”【话题链接】美国人喜欢拍拯救地球的电影。
