聽(tīng)力每日練習(xí) listen 4553 Exciting Bungee Jumping

1--I saw on TV that there is an entertainment item，Bungee in Beijing Longtanhu Park. Except that the height is not exiting enough.
 
2--You say how high can be exciting?
 
1--The highest bungee spot in he world is located in Mount Kikicama，South Africa，which is 216 meters high. A cable car in a scenic spot in Switzerland is 160 meters high.
 
2--I know that Frenchmen installed the Bungee cord between two tall buildings.
 
1--It is said that Bungee was originally a grownup ceremony of the indigenous people of New Guinea. People stood on branches of the tree , which was over 30 meters high. Their feet were fastened with canes and they jumped off from where they stood. When they almost reached the ground，they suddenly stopped to prove their bravery and express that they were able to endure the hardships of life independently.
 
2--Luckily there is no such kind of "grown-up ceremony" any more.

1--我在電視上看到北京龍?zhí)豆珗@有蹦極娛樂(lè)項(xiàng)目，只可惜高度不夠刺激。
2--那你說(shuō)多高才刺激呀?
1--世界上最高的蹦極點(diǎn)位子南非的齊齊卡馬山，有216米高呢。瑞士的一個(gè)風(fēng)景點(diǎn)的纜車也有160米高。
2--我知道法國(guó)人還把蹦極的繩索安置在兩幢高樓之間。
1--聽(tīng)說(shuō)蹦極最初是新幾內(nèi)亞土著人的一種成人儀式。人站在30米高的樹(shù)枝上，用藤條捆住腳躁往下跳，快接近地面時(shí)驟然停止，以此證明自己的勇敢，表示可以獨(dú)自承受生活的磨難。
2--多虧現(xiàn)在沒(méi)有這種“成人儀式”了。
