Question

19．A．Preparations for surfing
B．Potential dangers
C．Current surfers'attitude towards surfing
D．Finding the right wave
E．Where surfers come from
F．The most dangerous sport

    Surfing is one of the fastest developing sports in the world today．It used to be practiced by the ancient Polynesians，but since the 1960s anyone and everyone can go surfing．
76．C
    Surfing is more of a way of life for some people than simply a sport，and many spend their time travelling around the planet in search of the perfect wave．Typically，the average surfer is a relaxed type of person：they say it's something about the art of catching waves and being out in the elements that makes you feel very relaxed．Surfers greet each other by saying"Howzit？"（a bit like"How's it going？"） and sometimes call each other"bru"or"brah"from the Hawaiian word for brother，"braddah"．British surfers travel in WV camper vans and look a bit like hippiest．
77．E
    Anywhere that has a coastline with big waves is home to surfers．Half of Australia's coastline is surfable so there are lots of Australian surfers．Hawaii is where the sport was invented and the current champion is Hawaiian Sunny Garcia．A lot of surfers also come from California and New Zealand．There are even surfers in the UK who hang out on the southwest coast where the Atlantic waves hit the shore．
78A．
    Get a board．Most surfers start on short boards．Long boards and guns are only for experienced surfers catching huge waves．You also have to be a very strong swimmer：being able to swim at least 100 meters，and 25 meters underwater is required．
79．D
    Beach breaks are waves which fall onto sand．They can be big，but are best if you are a beginner．Waves vary in size during different seasons and even at different times of the day，so watch out!Surfing can be dangerous and you need advice from someone experienced．More experienced surfers catch waves at point and reef breaks．They are away from the coast，and the swell comes deep from the ocean．Point breaks are waves bent because of the shape of the land beneath the ocean，and reef breaks are shaped by coral and rocks．
80．B
    Surfing is a dangerous sport if you aren't a strong swimmer or if you try to do too much．The main thing most surfers have to worry about is their own board or other surfers'boards．Great white sharks，stingrays and deadly jellyfish are also not friendly to surfers，but actually running into one of these is quite rare．
