氣質姐與可愛可

　Most people want to feel safe and secure inside an aircraft. For them, it seems a little crazy that there are some who like to jump out of planes. However, there is a good reason to try skydiving—it is one of the most exciting and extreme adventures out there. Skydiving, also known as parachuting, involves leaping from an airplane in flight and using a parachute to float down to the ground. The first skydiver was André-Jacques Garnerin, who bravely jumped from a hot air balloon in 1797. 　　
     Since then, skydiving has grown by leaps and bounds, and now, there are all sorts of skydiving activities. Most people think of skydiving as just jumping out of an airplane. The jump usually takes place when the plane is about 4,000 meters up in the clouds. Yikes3! When the skydivers jump, they don't open their parachutes for a minute or so. This part is called free-falling. Yikes again! 　　
     Skysurfing is like normal skydiving but with one big difference. For this kind of skydiving, the skydiver's feet are fastened onto a board. Skysurfers use the board to perform all kinds of acrobatic4 tricks in the air, twisting and turning as they fall to the ground. It really does look like they are surfing, just like the people on water. However, skysurfing is a bit more dangerous than normal skydiving because the skysurfers' feet are fastened in, which makes landing more challenging.    

　　多數人在飛機上都想要有既安全又安心的感覺。對他們來說，有些人喜歡從飛機上往外跳的行徑似乎有點瘋狂。然而高空跳傘卻有個相當值得一試的好理由，因為它是最刺激也最極端的冒險活動之一。高空跳傘又名跳傘運動，其活動內容包括從航行中的飛機往下跳，然後再用降落傘來飄落到地面。史上第一位高空跳傘者是安德列雅克•迦納林，他在1797年時便從熱氣球上勇敢地縱身一躍。
　　 高空跳傘自當時便開始蓬勃發展，而且現在已出現了各式各樣的高空跳傘活動。多數人認為高空跳傘就只是從飛機上往外跳。跳下去的時機通常是飛機飛到離地表約四千公尺的高空時。真是嚇人！跳傘者在跳下去大約一分鐘之內並不會打開他們的降落傘。這個過程稱為自由落下。可怕喔！
        空中衝浪則像是一般的高空跳傘，但兩者之間有著一項極大的差異。進行這類的高空跳傘時，跳傘者會把雙腳綁在一塊板子上。空中衝浪者會用這塊板子在高空中表演各種特技，在往地面墜落之際也同時不斷翻轉。他們看起來真的很像是一群在水上衝浪的人。然而，空中衝浪比一般的高空跳傘還要來得危險一點，因為空中衝浪者的雙腳是被綁在板子上的，這會使得降落更具挑戰性。
