Unit 8　Adventure 【美文阅读】　 你体验过瞬间刺激的冒险运动吗？蹦极就是一个不错的选择，尝试之前先来品味一番下文作者蹦极时心惊肉跳的感受吧！ I never thought that it absolutely needed lots of courage to decide，“Should I jump，or should I wait until someone pushes me or even to tell me NO REFUND AT ALL！” At the same time，a couple of Americans shouted at me“Hurry up！”Perhaps they didnt want to wait and take turns.All I could hear was the voice from the safety crew standing next to me saying，“Relax.Breathe deeply.Look at those beautiful mountains in the distance...Five.Four.Three.Two.One.Jump！” Ironically(讽刺地)，his final countdown didnt work because we were all still standing right there，right on the small platform located on the top of the hill above Queenstown，South Island of New Zealand. People know Queenstown is famous for this thrilling activity，even though there are other things worth seeing and fun to do there.But only bungee jumping appeals to me.Once I arrived there，I dragged my best friend to join the list of crazy guys who love bungee jumping.Well，as soon as I stepped on the tiny walkway leading to the platform，all my heroic bravery was gone and seemed to be left at the registry(登记) counter of the shop on the ground when I paid the money. Looking downwards along my heavy path，I realized，“Gee，its amazingly high from the ground，maybe I should simply waste the money in order to save my life！”But，at last，I closed my eyes and then jumped. I started to scream louder and louder in my heart but concealed this feeling by making no sounds at all outside.I had already been very embarrassed to linger(逗留)there at the edge the moment before，and thus I had to be a bit cool through the whole process of jumping to save face. Being up side down，hanging in the sky was not fun at all.The most memorable second was the time before and right after I jumped.Thats my best conclusion from the bittersweet experience of bungee jumping. 【诱思导学】　 1．Why did the Americans shout at the author?
