of skiing as a sport?Skiing can be divided into cross-country skiing and alpine skiing.Cross-country skiing is a low-impact,aerobic activity.It is becoming increasingly popular.It can be enjoyed even if you have a relatively low skill level.It does not require exorbitant lift fees,and it has a relatively low injury rate(cross-country skiing has an injury rate about 10 times less than alpine skiing).Skiing uses more muscles than running and is less stressful on the legs.Alpine or downhill skiing is a popular family sport shared by people of all ages and athletic abilities.It has fewer benefits for aerobic fitness than cross-country skiing because activity is usually in short bursts,but it is good for strengthening muscles particularly those in the upper leg.Alpine skiing is also a tough sport,particularly demanding on the legs.Passage Passage The Truth about the French!The Truth about the French!B:Choose the best answer.1._ 2._ 3._ 4._5._ 6._ 7._ 8._C:Answer the questions.1.Why is it heaven on Earth for a dedicated skier in France?Because there are resorts where you can access skiing terrain that is larger than all the ski resorts in Utah and Colorado combined.2.Why is it a good place for an intermediate skier?Because an intermediate skier who can read a lift map will easily be able to ski all day avoiding lift lines and crowds,even during the busiest season.CAAABCDDPassage Passage The Truth about the French!The Truth about the French!3.What does this staggered two-week winter vacation period cover?This staggered two-week winter vacation period usually covers the last two weeks of February and the first week of March.4.What is the character of the French?The French are not generally arrogant and rude.They are as kind as you wish.5.Which precautions will a visitor take against theft in large cities in France?In large cities in France,always secure your vehicles,leave nothing of value visible and dont carry your wallet in your back pocket.Beware of begging children!Part 3 newsPart 3 newsFocus 1.Accidents2.News summary3.Specific informationNews Item 1News Item 1NotesNotesMasonry:砖石砖石Terminal:building at an airport or in a town
