【題目】
Extreme ironing (極限熨燙) is one extreme sport that you’ve probably never heard of. Now let me tell you something about it.
An Englishman named Phil Shaw invented extreme ironing in1997 because he was bored dong iron at home. Extreme ironing is a special kind of outdoor sport. It combines (使結(jié)合) danger and excitement with practical ironing.
Who does extreme ironing? People all over the world who like danger do it. There are about 1,000 people around the world who do extreme ironing. There are extreme ironing clubs and groups in Britain, Germany, South Africa, New Zealand and the United States. In fact, anyone can do it. However, it is better to start ironing in our backyard before you start to iron on top of a mountain.
There are, of course, some rules in extreme ironing. The ironing must be outdoors. You must take an iron, an ironing board, and something that you actually iron to get the wrinkles (皺褶) out. Outdoors includes faraway and unusual places, such as on top of a mountain, while skiing, snowboarding, skydiving, or under water. The more unusual, the better. However, you should plan carefully because the weather conditions can suddenly change on mountains, for example. You should not do extreme ironing on your own.
What kind of things should you have? You must have a real travel iron. You must not use plastic or toy irons. The clothes you iron must be at least the size of a hand towel. It shouldn’t be just a handkerchief (手帕). The board doesn’t have to be a full-size board, but that is preferred. It must be one meter long and thirty centimeters wide and have legs.
People have already ironed near the top of Qomolangma, the highest mountain in the world, and in the Blue Hole in Egypt, one of the most dangerous places to dive. However, there are still many records to break. Iron on!
