Surfing: It's Not Just for Boys Anymore

    If you asked high school girls to name their favorite sports, most would probably say basketball or volleyball. I happen to be one of the few girls who would    1   : surfing (冲浪运动). But isn't that a boy thing? Some people    2   . Most certainly not.

    I started surfing about five years ago and    3   in love with the sport on the very first day. Riding that first    4    was the best feeling I had ever experienced. When I try to   5  surfing with other things, I find it very difficult because, in my    6   , there's nothing like it. It involves (牵涉到) body,    7   , and soul. There's sand between my toes and cool, salt water all 8    us. The feeling I get when I'm surfing across that    9   , becoming one with the 10   , is like I'm weightless.

    The one thing I can    11    from surfing and not any other sport is endless challenge (挑战). You can never be the “best surfer” because the ocean    12    an uncountable variety of waves that nobody can ever master. The variations of surfing styles are wonderful. Some surfers are free and flowing; others are very aggressive (活跃有力的) and    13   . All of these things attract me to surfing and make it    14    from any other sport.

    I've    15    to tell every girl I know to do something that people don't think girls can do. It's part of being human to advance to new    16   , so shouldn't it be expected that girls should step up and start    17    the limits of things boys and men used to dominate (主宰)?

    There're women    18    side by side with the President of our country, so why not side by side with the boys    19    the football team or out in the water surfing? Give girls a chance to    20   , and they will.

SYDNEY 2005-01-01 08:33—Mother of two, Jillian Searle, had to choose between her children when she made a life-or-death decision.

Swept up by mountainous tsunami (海啸) waves at a Thai resort ( 旅游胜地), she could not hold on to both her young sons and survive . Fighting to stay above the waters , she had to choose which one would have to take his chances in the swirling torrent (漩流).

“I knew I had to let go of one of them and I just thought I’d better let go of the one that’s the older,” she told Sky News television in a report broadcast on Thursday. She said she was accompanied by the two boys, Lachie, 5, and two-year-old Blake, and their father, Brad, who had watched the drama helplessly from their first-floor hotel room, when the waves struck. “And I was screaming, trying to find him, and we thought he was dead,” she told reporters on arrival back in Australia. Lachie was found alive about 2 hours later clinging to a door and, looked uninjured as his mother spoke to reporters.

British surfer (冲浪运动员) Martin Markwell is also a lucky man. He had always dreamed of catching that perfect wave –but when it finally came along, it was a nightmare. He was on his surfboard when he was swept up by a tsunami wave.

“It was really terrible because I was surfing, I was really surfing on a wave I wasn’t supposed to be on,” he said. “As an experienced surfer, when I saw the wave come I realized something was wrong, but I couldn’t escape because my surfboard was tied to my ankle.”

His wife Vicki and son Jake looked on in horror from a hotel balcony as he crashed towards the shore. Luckily , he stayed on top of his board until he reached the hotel , jumped off and got to safety as the ocean rolled back to feed a much larger tsunami wave on its way . The family regrouped and ran to safety just minutes before a giant tsunami wave 10 meters high.

1.When the waves struck, the father Brad        .

A. reported the disaster to Sky News television

B. was watching a drama play on TV in the hotel

C. tried to find his son lost in the waters

D. watched things going on , unable to do anything
