Question

  Do you know what the world5s highest waterfall is? You may say that it is Niagara Falls. Niagara Falls are really very beautiful,but in terms of height,the most fantastic falls in the world are Angel Falls. They are deep in the jungles (丛林) of Venezuela.

   Few people have ever seen Angel Falls. ItJs very hard to get there. If you go there on foot,you have to travel for weeks through thick jungles. If you go by plane from Caracas,a city on the southern coast,it will take about four hours.

   The fascinating falls are God's gifts of nature. One of the most interesting facts about Angel Falls is how they were found. They were named after an American pilot. His name was Jimmy Angel. In 1937,he crashed (使……坠毁) his plane near the top of the falls. That's how he found them.

   Angel Falls drop nearly a kilometer (about 979m) from a table-top mountain. The water seems to be dropping straight out of the clouds. The height of the falls is so great that by the time the water reaches the ground it has already turned into fog (雾) .

   If you have a chance to visit them,you’ll never miss them!
