You can go swimming all year round in the<br /> warm water. You can go sport fishing from the shore or from a boat. If you like boats, you can go<br /> sailing, canoeing, or windsurfing. Or, you can also try some other water sports that are especially<br /> popular in Hawaii: surfing, snorkeling and scuba diving.<br /> Surfing is a sport which started in Hawaii many years ago. The Hawaiians called it “he’e nalu”,<br /> which means “to slide on a wave”. If you want to try surfing, you need, first of all, to be a good<br /> swimmer. You also have to have an excellent sense of balance. You must swim out from the beach<br /> with your surfboard under your arm. When you get to where the waves begin to break, you wait for a<br /> calm moment. Then you try to stand up on the board. The wave will begin to rise under you. You<br /> must try to steer the board with your feet so you stay on top of the wave. The important thing is to<br /> keep your balance and not fall down. If you can managethis, you will have an exciting ride all the<br /> way in to the shore.<br /> Scuba diving and snorkeling are two ways to get a close look at the beauty lying below the surface<br /> of the ocean. The waters off the Hawaiian Islands are clean, clear and warm. They contain hundreds<br /> of kinds of colorful fish. The undersea world is made even more colorful by the coral reefs of red,<br /> gold, white and light purple. Among these reefs there may be larger fish or sea turtles.<br /> Scuba diving allows you to see the most interesting undersea sights. “Scuba” means “Self-contained<br /> Underwater Breathing Apparatus”, that is, equipment for breathing and swimming around far under<br /> water. In Hawaii, you can take special courses to learn how to scuba dive. After the courses, you can<br /> get a certificate that will allow you to dive alone. Since it can be dangerous, proper instruction and<br /> great care are always necessary when you are scuba diving.<br /> If you are adventurous, you might try snorkeling instead of scuba diving. Less equipment is needed,<br /> just a face mask, a breathing tube (snorkel) and flippers for your feet. It only takes a few minutes to<br /> learn how to snorkel. Although you cannot dive deep into the water, you can swim with your face<br /> below the surface. Breathing through the tube, you float on the surface, and keep yourself moving<br /> with your flippers. Even from the surface like this, there will be plenty of color and beauty to see.<br /> Question 34: The passage is about______________.<br /> A. water sports around the world<br /> B. surfing<br /> C. tourist activities in Hawaii<br /> D. water sports in Hawaii<br /> Question 35: You can infer from the passage that______________.<br /> A. water sports are all expensive<br /> B. you need to take a course for all water sports<br /> C. everyone can find a way to enjoy sports in the water<br /> <br /> D. swimming in Hawaii can be dangerous<br /> Question 36: The word “this” in the second paragraph refers to______________.<br /> A. standing on the board<br /> B. keeping balanced and not falling down<br /> C. an exciting ride<br /> D. staying on top of the wave<br /> Question 37: The word “proper” in paragraph 4 refers to______________.<br /> A. enthusiastic B. informative C. appropriate<br /> D. short and clear<br /> Question 38: Which statement is supported by the information in the passage?<br /> A.
