6、agliding in South Africa is a delight and, at times, a frightening challenge.A paraglider is, firstly, someone who has been well taught in the skill of flying.

7、pes(山坡) wait for you. If you have never tried it before, you are sure to learn it in a few days, but safety comes first.Strangely, the relatively flat Karoo heartland is one of the best areas to paraglide in. The towns of De Aar and Kuruman in the Northern Cape Province are centres of Karoo Paraglid

8、ing. South African paragliders hold more than 50% of the world records in this sportmost of them set in the Karoo. But why are the paragliders so crazy about the Karoo? “The cloud base there is so high and the wind is proper and stable. You can glide for hours, going up as high as 4,000 metres in th

9、e sky,” they explain. Foreign pilots wanting a taste of South Africas paragliding opportunities can get a short-time license. They can hold it for three months at most. Medical examination and insurance are needed by the South African Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association.The Western Cape has mor

10、e than 60 official paragliding launch and flight sites. Up north along the Drakensberg slopes, you will see the brave “One-Wings” doing their thing daily, flying in the sky or taking the “ridge lift”, riding a wave of wind as it clears a mountain slope.41.

I couldnt help overhearing

15、parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, “So, how have you been?” And the boy who could not have been more than seven or eight years old replied. “Frankly, Ive been feeling a little depressed lately.”This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that childre

16、n are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didnt find out we were “depressed”, that is, in low spirits, until we were in high school.Undoubtedly a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children dont seem childlike any more. Children speak more like adults, dress

17、more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why?Human development depends not only on born biological states, but also on patterns of gaining social knowledge

18、. Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new social positions. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages; traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.In the last 30 years, however, a secre

19、t-revelation(揭示)machine has been equipped in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging,

20、 more attractive moving pictures.Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information which children will gain. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.46According to the author, feeling depressed is _ .Aa sur

Lifting two gr

25、ocery bags, he followed her across the yard and stood on the step of her house. Glancing up, he saw a large wasp(黄蜂)nest under the roof. Allen had heard that wasps can become more likely to sting (蜇) in summer. He mentioned this to Mrs. Carey, who had opened the door.“Oh, they dont bother me,” she s

26、aid lightly. “I go in and out all the time.”Anxiously, Allen looked at the nest again, only to see the wasps flying straight at him. “Hurry!” he shouted to Mrs. Carey. “Get in!”She stepped quickly inside. Allen ran for his mini-bus. Too late; they were upon him. Just as he jumped aboard, half a doze

27、n red spots showed on his arm, and he felt more on his back and shoulders.As he was driving down the road, Allen felt as if something was burning at the back of his neck, and the “fire” was spreading forward toward his face. And immediate anxiety took hold of him. Allen knew that stings could cause

28、some persons to die. But he had been stung the previous summer and the after-effects soon passed. However, what he didnt know was that the first sting had turned his body into a time bomb waiting for the next to set off an explosion.Miles from the nearest medical assistance, Allen began to feel his

29、tongue thick and heavy and his heartbeat louder. Most frightening, he felt his breathing more and more difficult. He reached for the radio mike(话筒), trying to call the mini-bus center, but his words were hardly understandable. Signals were also poor that far out. He knew a rescue team was on 24-hour

30、 duty at the Amherst Fire Departments north station. So his best chance was to make a run for it.Rushing down the mountain, Allen tried not to panic, focusing his mind on each sharp turn. He was almost through the last of them when he felt sure he was going into shock(休克). Just then he reached for t

31、he radio mike again.“Call fire station,” he shouted, concentrating to form the words. “Emergency. Bee sting. Emergency. There in ten minutes.”“Five-ten,” the center replied.Hold on, Allen thought. Keep your eyes open. Breathe. Keep awake.At last he reached the station. Two firemen ran out. Allen fel
