Many people are _41_ when talking to new people. _42_ all, meeting strangers means seeing the unknown. And its human nature to feel a bit _43_ about the unknown.

He and his friends go snowboarding every weekend. “Its great,” he says. “The winds are so strong; the boards do 50 miles an hour.” His friend Laura Fields agrees. No one goes skiing any more,” she says. “Thats for the old folks. Rick and Laura are part of a new trend in sports. Its purpose is to get as close to the edge as possible. And more and more young athletes are taking part in these risky activities called “extreme sports” or “X-sports.” In the past, young athletes would play baseball. Today, they want risk and excitement-the closer to the edge, the better. They snowboard over cliffs and mountainbike down steep mountains. They windsurf near hurricanes and bungeejump from towers.What makes extreme sports so popular? “People love the risk,” says Murry Nussbaum, who sells sports equipment. “City people want to be outdoors on the weekend and do something challenging. The new equipment is so much better than that people can take more risks without getting hurt,” an athlete adds. “Sure theres a risk. Once you go mountain biking or snowboarding, its impossible to go back to bike riding or skiing. Its just too boring.Now even the older crowd is starting to join in. Every weekend groups of friends in their early thirties get together. During the week they work as computer programmers in the same office. On Sundays they rent mountain bikes that cost 2,000 each and ride down steep mountains together.Extreme sports are certainly not for everyone. Most people still prefer to play basketball or watch sports on TV. But extreme sports are definitely gaining in popularity. “ These sports are fresh and exciting. Its the wave of the future,” says Nussbaum.56. All of the following games are extreme sports EXCEPT_. A. snowboarding B. mountain bike C. bungeejumping D. skiing57.

The Wave of the Future C. Xsports. D. Peoples Love for Risk.B China declares day of mourning August 14 ,2010, 6:26 pm ZHOUQU, China ( AP ) -China declared a national day of mourning for victims of a massive landslide in the remote northwest, as authorities on Saturday stressed the importance of hygiene (卫生) and safety for the thousands now living in temporary shelters. Chinese flags across the country and at embassies and consulates ( 领事馆) overseas will be lowered to halfstaff on Sunday to commemorate the 1,156 killed in the landslide last weekend, the central government said on its website Saturday. Public entertainment activities should also be suspended (暂时取消) for the day. The mourning periods in the past have banned things such as online video games and lighthearted television programs and forced cinemas, theatres and nightclubs to suspend business. Rainstorms forecast for the coming days remained a threat to Zhouqu, where soldiers worked around the clock to remove debris from the swollen Bailong River that runs through the centre of town. More rain could cause the river to overflow and further inundate (浸水；泛滥) the town that is already one-third underwater after being swallowed in waves of mud and rubble-strewn water a week ago.Authorities said 588 people remained missing. Clean drinking water was a primary concern, with most local sources knocked out or too polluted to use. State media reported cases of dysentery(痢疾), but there were no reports of an epidemic(流行性) outbreak.Authorities were working to provide drinking water and have brought in mobile water purification units that can provide clean water for up to 30,000 people, China News Service reported.60.

At Massachusetts, Erving broke freshmen records for scoring and rebuilding, leading his team through an undefeated season.In 1971, Julius Erving began his professional career with the Virginia Squires of the American Basketball Association (ABA).

Youre going with me to cut grass.” The idea that my father actually thought I was big enough to help him in his business made me feel proud and excited. From sunup to sundown my father, my younger brother and I worked in the large yards in a rich part of Atlanta, Georgia. By the end of the day I was tired out, but I felt good. I had put in a hard days labor and had earned 6.One day my father found some leaves Id missed and pulled me aside. “Clear away these leaves.” He said firmly. “ and dont make me have to do it again.” The message was clear.
