2. Swimming with Wild Dolphins in Kaikoura, New Zealand
Many of my most adventurous travel stories come from my time living in New Zealand.
In November 2018, I decided to live life to the fullest and say yes to all of the adventures that came my way in the country. This travel story is one of my favorite adventures: swimming with wild dolphins in Kaikoura.
I woke at 4 a.m. to a pitch-black hostel room, my eight roommates all still sound asleep at the early hour. I snuck out on tiptoes to change, crammed a cheese roll in
my mouth, and dragged the suitcase holding a year of my life to the Kaikoura dolphin-watching tour office. With just a few hours of sleep in my system and more adrenaline(腺上肾素) than I had jumping out of a plane, I tugged on my insulated wetsuit in a blur.
The moment we dove off the water, I was shocked awake. No amount of coffee, tea, or sugar has ever given me such an intense wake-up. It turns out, the ocean is freezing at 5 a.m., before the sun has risen and in early-spring.
Don’t be scared off by the temperature, though, because 5 a.m. is when t he dolphins are most playful!
For five seconds, I struggled to breathe through the cold. Then, the wetsuit flooded with water and I was warm.
A moment later, I was face to face with a wild dusky dolphin, one of the smallest species of dolphin in the world! Swimming with it, the dolphin twirled at the surface of the water while it spun in spirals beneath me.
I hummed strange Dory-esque whale noises to draw the attention of more members of the pod, including a tiny baby dolphin no bigger than my calf. He seemed most interested in the strange bug-eyed thing that kept getting tangled in her own flippers.
The sun rose, warming my back as I continued to flounder amongst the most elegant animals in the ocean. It was the most beautiful sight, watching as the dark blue of the ocean turned a sunny turquoise, brightening our swimming companions for the first few hours of dawn.
The practice of swimming with wild dolphins is banned in the North Island, where the species of Hector’s dolphins are in decline. But in Kaikoura, the practice is thriving and actually helping to restore the dolphin populations.

C．Because she determined to live the fullest life.
D．Because her passion for animals aroused her interest in adventures.
2. What did the author mean by saying “No amount of coffee, tea, or sugar has ever given me such an intense wake-up”?
A．Nothing but coffee, tea or sugar often kept her awake the whole night.
B．It never occurred to her that the temperature of the ocean could be so low. C．She often woke up at night because of drinking too much coffee, tea or sugar. D．The temperature of the ocean was not worth mentioning to the author.
3. Which of the following words can best describe the author’s experience with dolphins?
A．Worthwhile. B．Regretful.
C．Exhausted. D．Romantic.
4. The author wrote her adventurous experience to call on us to _______.
A．try more adventurous activities in daily life
B．play with favourite animals as often as possible
C．prepare in advance for possible danger during adventures
D．spare no effort to preserve the dolphin populations
