Outdoor Survival Provides Adventure Worldwide

  Although there are no state controlled survival courses in Britain or the United States,there are various independent organizations offering similar activities.

  Students can take part in outdoor training courses through university clubs and societies.Anyone can register with such groups,which then organize courses,training and trips for all members.

  One of the most popular outdoor training programmes in both the US and Britain,is Outward Bound(戶外訓(xùn)練).It was founded in 1941 in Wales and attracts hundreds of thousands of adventurous types every year.

  The courses are intended to broaden minds through experiences that build confidence,self-esteem(自尊)and character.As well as specialist courses such as canoeing, leadership skills and sailing,participants can take part in week long adventure training camps which include a host of sports and survival training education skills.

  Michael Williams,an American student,took part in an Outward Bound course last year.He said:“We learned lots of first aid skills,lots of natural history,lots of environmental facts,and took part in a wildlife preservation programme.Beyond that,my favourite skills learned were sailing and rock climbing.”

  Courses can last up to 40 days and are open to anyone over the age of 14.Students must be in general good health,but do not need to be experienced in outdoor-sports.There is no selection process;everyone is welcome,although new participants are advised to pick a course matching their physical capacity.

  Most of the British courses take place in the Brecon Beacons in Wales.Another similar organization is the UK Survival School,which includes courses on learning to live with the environment,sailing and winter survival.On a basic survival weekend students will learn how to get water and food,how to make fire and cook with it,to find and build a shelter,control survival life support,how to cross rivers,send off a distress signal,and to use compasses by day and night.

  According to the leaders,such adventures are “an awakening,an exploration into the unknown”.Outward Bound believes that participants will “use mind and body traveling some of the Earth’s roughest wilderness areas”.

April 27 is Take Our Daughters to Work Day in Britain. Started at first in the United States and brought to Britain in 1994, Take Our Daughters to Work Day has become a special day for girls between 11 and 15. On that day thousands of girls take a day off school and go together with one of their parents to their work places. The purpose of this day is to broaden girls' horizons(視野)and raise their self-confidence.
For many years people have thought that boys can do better than girls in society. But actually, “girls can be whatever they want to be just like boys, whether it is a pilot, a nurse or a chief executive(主管).”says the chairman of the Our Sons and Daughters Charitable Trust, an organization which supported the activity of the Day. “Now the girls have a close look at what their parents are doing and this may help them to be more self-confident when they are faced with a choice of work."
Schools and many companies support the activity too. Palmers Green High School for girls in north of London, has made the day a necessary part of careers education.
Zarina Bart, 15, from Palmers Green, went with her mother Gwen to her Lawyer's office this year's Take Our Daughters to Work Day. "I learned how to fill in a legal aid form and I read details of a case. Then I went to see the actual trial." she said.
Zarina found it interesting to see her mother at work. “It's really strange seeing Mum at work--running around, getting serious and telling people what to do.” She has always liked this idea of going into law and thinks it likely that she will follow in her mother’s footsteps. Having a chance to see how her mother works has given her more self-confidence.
Experts believe that girls with higher self-confidence aim higher and are more likely to be successful in life. Parents have important effect on the confidence of teenage girls. If parents believe in their daughters and show examples both at work as well as at home for them, this will give a lot of help to girls. Take Our Daughters to Work Day is surely a step in the right direction.
【小題1】The writer’s purpose in writing this text is to ______.

A.tell how the special day for girls came into be.
B.show us the girls can do as well as boys.
C.introduce a special day for girls to us.
D.broaden girls’ view and raise their confidence.
【小題2】According to the chairman of the Our Sons and Daughters Charitable Trust, ______.
A.girls can do as well as boys in any field.
B.girls need more opportunities in society compared to boys.
C.girls will follow their parents’ jobs after watching them work.
D.girls will be more confident than boys due to the special day.
【小題3】A particular mention of Zarina’s story ______.
A.tells what a woman lawyer’s daily work is like
B.serves as an example of how the Day works.
C.shows a successful mother’s effect on the daughter.
D.explains why a girl should go to see mum's office rather than dad.
【小題4】In the text the writer especially suggests the importance of ______.
A.parents’ job.
B.support from society.
C.understanding of the parents.
D.girls’ self-confidence.
