A

I stood at the edge of the cliff. The wind stung my eyes, cutting into my skin. Dark-feathered birds circled the air, swooping low over the ocean every now and then to catch their dinner. Below me, hundreds of feet below, the deep ocean beat against the rough sandy shore. I took a deep breath, filling my lungs with anticipation and excitement —and at the same time, fear.

Behind me, I heard the rest of the crew start to whisper. I was here for the shooting of a movie as I was one of the leading actors in the film Dangerous Things, and this scene was right in the middle of the climax.(高潮) It was vital that this went right.

The director had talked to me about getting a stunt double（替身），but I’d persuaded him that I could handle the dive. I’d taken a diving course a few years before, and I’d been taking swimming lessons since I was five years old, I had been pretty confident that I could do this — up till now.

Someone called out, “Keira, you don’t have to do this! Are you sure you want to dive?” It was one of the producers, Callie Evans. I knew she meant well, but deep in my heart I knew I couldn’t turn back now. I couldn’t bear to see the disappointed look on the director’s face when he was told that I couldn’t do it.

At that moment, all my fears and worries broke free. The anticipation of adventure and triumph seemed to move all the hesitation. I swooped downwards. The air on either side of me cut into my extended arms. I knew that this wonderful feeling of flight would only last a few seconds, yet time seemed to slow down. I could hear the thrilled yell of my crew and a burst of applause that seemed to echo in my ears.

21. By saying “It was vital that this went right”, the writer meant “________”.

A. everything went well as planned

B. it was important to satisfy the crew

C. acting in the film was extremely pleasing

D. what he was going to do really mattered

22. The writer was confident in diving probably because he ________.

A. used to learn how to dive

B. was stronger than other people

C. took swimming lessons when he was young

D. didn’t want to be a stunt double at all

23. What happened while the writer was diving down?

A. His arms were badly injured.

B. Many birds circling the air happily.

C. The crew cheered loudly for him.

D. He lost consciousness all of a sudden.

B

Trip to Alaska National Parks

This four-day train trip, which traverses both Denali and Kenai Fjords National Parks, allows for true appreciation of Alaska’s natural beauty. The route takes in peaks and forests, including a stop at the foot of 20,320-foot-high Mount McKinley, North Ameri ca’s tallest mountain. Though the train has comfortable seating and a luxurious dining car, nights are spent at off-train lodging like the Grande Denali Lodge and Ho tel Alyeska in Girdwood.

India Tour, Maharajas’ Express

Maharajas’ Express is the most lux urious train in the world. Started in 2010, and limited to 88 passengers on each trip, the train features luxurious private suites with marble baths and panoramic（全景）windows. On the five-day, four-night trip, which starts and ends in Delhi, passengers make stops to visit the splendid Taj Mahal at Agra, take a tiger safari at Ranthambore National Park, and shop and watch an elephant-polo match in Jaipur.

Tales of Laos Tour, Eastern & Oriental Express

The sister train to Europe’s Venice Simplon Orient-Express, the Eastern & Oriental Express offers the same level of service and comfort. What’s completely different about the Eastern, of course, is the scenery that passengers can see through the train’s large windows. Among the attractive sights on the four-day, three-night Tales of Laos Tour are green rice paddies（水稻梯田）and locals riding elephants.

Cuzco to Machu Picchu Route, Hiram Bingham

The Hiram Bingham, a train operating in Peru, leads guests on a magical day trip from Cuzco to the ruins of Machu Picchu.
