You may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it．You do not need to be strong．But you need to be quick．And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.
First, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?” You must think about this all the time on the boat．The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.
Let's start with the wind blowing from behind．This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction．Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat．It should be at a 90° angle (角度) to the boat．Then it will catch the wind best.
If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat．In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat．It should be at a 45° angle to the boat．It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldn't flap (摆动)．It shouldn't look like a flag on a flagpole．If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.
Sailing against the wind is not possible．If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop．You may want to go in that direction．It is possible, but you can't go in a straight line．You must go first in one direction and then in another．This is called tacking．When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.
1.What should you consider first while sailing?
A．Sailors' strength. B．Wave levels.
C．Size of sails. D．Wind directions.
2.What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．The boat. B．The sail.
C．The wind. D．The angle.
3.What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?
A．Move in a straight line. B．Allow the sail to flap.
C．Lower the sail. D．Tack the boat.
4.Where can you probably find the text?
A．In a popular magazine. B．In a tourist guidebook.
C．In a physics textbook. D．In an official report.

You are seeing a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead!
Of course he isn’t really dead. With any luck he isn’t even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars or even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks.
They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall onto hard ground but onto empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress. Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar!
But although their work depends on tricks of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman’s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is “ blown up” in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.
Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They sometimes get seriously injured, and even killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞 ) failed to open and he was killed.
In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women to perform some dangerous actions. For nowadays there are stunt girls , too.
1.What can be inferred from the author’s example of the Norwegian stuntman?
A. Sometimes an accident can happen to a stuntman.
B. The percentage of serious accidents is high.
C. Parachutes must be of good quality.
D. The cliff was too high.
2.Stuntmen are those who __________________.
A. often dress up as actors.
B. like to lead dangerous lives.
C. often perform seemingly dangerous actions.
D. often fight each other for their lives.
3.When a stuntman falls from a high building, ______________
A. he needs little protection. B. he will be covered with a mattress.
C. his life is in danger.D. his safety is generally all right.
4.Which of the following is the main factor of a successful performance?
A. Strength B. Speed C. Exactness D. Carefulness
