Hiking (徒步) in the countryside is one of life's simple and cheap pleasures. But is it safe? Sport writer Mark Waters considers the dangers.

Imagine the following...

One day, Tom decided to take up hiking. Before going, he quickly looked at a map and decided that he could easily walk from the bus stop at Pak Tam Chung to the beach at Dai Long Wan.

After walking for hours and hours under the hot sun, Tom started to feel sick. He reached for his water but found that the bottle was empty. Then he smelt smoke and saw a fire. He called 999. However, he could not tell them where he was because he did not have a map.

Think about it...

Put yourself in Tom's shoes. How could you stay away from the risks? One way is to learn the following common types of danger well.

1. Getting lost

Bad weather is one of the reasons that some walkers get lost. However, the most common one is not having enough knowledge of the hiking route (路線). Always remember to bring a map and don't be too confident. Always choose a route that is right for you.

2. Heat stroke (中暑)

The summer in Hong Kong is very hot and wet. Many hikers forget this and walk for too long in the midday heat. They become hot and feel weak. Don't forget it is necessary to drink 100 to 200 ml of water every 15 to 20 minutes.

3. Accident

Some of Hong Kong's paths are very dangerous and it is not unknown for hikers to fall. Never walk alone and always bring a map and a mobile phone with you.

4. Hill fire

Every year, over 10,000 hill fires take place in Hong Kong, hurting more than 600 people. Never light fires unless you are allowed to and, if you see a hill fire, stay cool, walk away and report it quickly.

1.In Mark's opinion, is hiking in the countryside safe or dangerous?

___________________________________________________________

2.Why couldn't Tom tell the police where he was?

___________________________________________________________

3.What is the most common reason for people getting lost?

___________________________________________________________

4.What will you do if you see a hill fire according to the passage?

___________________________________________________________

5.What does the writer mainly talk about in the passage?

___________________________________________________________

A man died and was on his way to another world, either heaven (天堂) or hell (地獄). When he was halfway there, he saw a beautiful and huge palace. The owner came out and asked the man to stay and live in the palace.

The man said: “I always worked hard all my life. 1..

The owner of the palace said: “If so, there is nowhere else better than here for you. There is a lot of seafood and many other delicious foods in my palace. You can eat anything you want without anyone stopping you. And it’s sure that you need to do nothing.”

“That is great! This must be heaven!” said the man. And he lived comfortably in the palace without thinking too much.2. But day by day, he felt a bit lonely (孤獨(dú)的) and bored.

So he went to the owner and said: “Just eating and sleeping every day is very boring. 3. Could you help me find a job?”

The owner replied: “Sorry, there are no jobs here at all.”

4.“I really can’t stand this kind of life any more,” he said. “If you do not give me a job, I will choose to go to hell, because even going there is better than staying here!

The owner of the palace smiled. “Where do you think we are now?” he said. “Heaven? We are actually in hell!”

A. After another few months, the man could not stand it any more and went to the owner again.

B. At first, the man felt very happy with a life of eating and sleeping.

C. A few months later, the man felt bored and found himself a job.

D. And now I just want to eat and sleep without doing any work.

E. Now I’m losing interest in this kind of life.
