Welcome to Ontario Parks, a new body set up to manage Ontario's most treasured special places, the parks in our area.
We are entering a very exciting year for Ontario Parks. Last season we asked some 15 000 visitors in 45 parks how we could im-prove our programs and services. We also looked at the thousands of comment cards we received. As a result, new comfort stations have been added, the number of campsites has been increased, and we've made other fa-cility (设施) improvements. In addition, we'll be providing more educational programs. This year, for example, more than 40 parks will offer special day and evening activities to excite your curiosity about nature and history.
Through the Internet, you'll be happy to know that you can now explore all 270 parks on line. Let your family plan your park vaca-tion, study a map or canoe routes, listen to the call of a loon or find up-to-date informa-tion about programs, services and facilities.
So come and discover what Ontario Parks has to offer. Our parks are places to go with families and friends, for relaxation and fun, or simply to get away from it all. They are places where we can enrich our souls and “recharge our internal (内部的) batteries”. They provide chances to explore nature, see wildlife, swim,canoe, camp, hike, picnic, ride a bike . . .

Tracy Caulkins was born in Minnesota and lived in Iowa until she was six. She began swimming when she was eight, after the family had moved to Nashville, Tennessee.

Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-AC for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
Polynesians, but since the 1960s anyone and everyone can go surfing. 1. 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. 2. 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. 3. 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. 4. 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. 5. 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. |
