A
Are you looking for something to do? You might like to try one of these four experiences. Crocodile watching
Do you fancy getting up close to some of the most terrifying animals on earth? Crocosaurus Cove, in Darwin (Australia) has the “Cage of Death”. It’s an enclosure that’s lowered into a pool. This gives you a 360 degree view of a crocodile as it’s being fed. The cable broke once and the cage sank to the bottom, but they’ve fixed it since then. Edge walk
How about walking along the edge of a building several hundred meters up in the air? If that sounds like fun, head off to the CN Tower in Toronto (Ontario, Canada). Built in 1976, the tower is 553.33 meters tall.
The Edge walk consists of a 20-30 minute stroll along a 1.5 meter wide platform that runs around the tower’s restaurant roof. During the walk, you’re encouraged to lean forwards as you look over Toronto’s skyline. Plastic ball rolling
Do you fancy rolling down a hill in a plastic ball?
Plastic ball rolling is popular all over the world, but the place to give it a go is in Rotorua (New Zealand). Brother David and Andrew Akers came up with the idea in 1994. A typical orb (球) is about 3 meters in diameter, with an inner orb size of about 2 meters. There’s no brake or steering mechanism, but the inner layer of the plastic ball helps absorb the shock. Volcano bungee jumping
If you’re looking for the adventure of a lifetime, how about going bungee jumping off a helicopter into the crater of a live volcano? As part of the jumping, a helicopter ride takes you to the Villarreal volcano, one of the most active in Chile. Once you’re at the drop zone, you leap off the helicopter and fall into the volcano. Finally, you enjoy the ride back to the airport flying at 130kph.

It can be inferred that all the four experiences are ______. A. interesting sports B. exciting and extreme C. held on high places D. fit for middle to old people
B
There are volcanoes(火山) all over the world. Volcanoes can destroy houses, farmlands,
and forests. Volcanoes can kill a large number of people. In 1792, a Japanese volcano killed 15,000 people. In 1985, a volcano in Colombia buried a town. And in 1991, a volcano in the Philippines could have been one of the worst events in history, but the Philippine government acted quickly. They moved over 80,000 people away from the volcano. In the end, only 700 people died. So clearly, volcanoes are dangerous. But there are also around 360 million people who live near volcanoes. This raises one question: why would they do this?
There are several different reasons. The first is that a volcano can create very good
soil. The lava (火山岩), minerals, and hot ash are good for farming. They help the soil stay wet. They contain minerals that help plants grow. For example, the Indonesian island of Java has three live volcanoes. This makes people harvest several rice crops every season.
Another reason people live near volcanoes is geo-thermal energy (地热能源). People
use the heat from the volcano to create electricity. This is very common. Over twenty countries around the world use some geo-thermal energy. The country of Iceland gets around 17% of their electricity in this way. Iceland also uses the heat from volcanoes to warm greenhouses.
Volcanoes can also be beautiful. The islands of Hawaii are a series of volcanoes. Over
seven million people visit Hawaii every year. These people spend money on hotels, boat rides, and food. People even pay to see the volcanoes. It can be exciting to be close to something so powerful. Many people who live near volcanoes make money from these visitors.
Another reason people live around dangerous volcanoes is that they feel safe. Most
volcanoes do not explode (爆炸) that often. People can live their whole life by a volcano and never see it explode. So when scientists warn people that a volcano is going to explode, they may refuse to think about the warning.
