     Lots of people like diving into water because they can explore (探索) the underwater world. 
 But there is another kind of diving.  Some people dive into the sky! This is really a very exciting sport.  
A skydiver goes high up in the air on a plane, jumps off the plane and floats in the air with the help of a
 parachute.  A parachute is like a huge umbrella.  It is put on the back of the skydiver.  When the
 skydiver reaches a certain height, he will pull a string and the parachute will open up in seconds and
 carry him gently down to the ground.  Skydivers like doing a lot of dramatic tricks in the air.  After
 jumping off the plane one after another, they will try to stay in the air and hold each other's hands.  
They can form different shapes.       
     Is it safe to do skydiving? Yes,  as long as we receive right training. But sometimes, accidents do 
happen. In Canada, two skydivers were killed in 1991 when they jumped off the plane.  Because their 
parachutes got tied up with each other.  The parachutes could not open up and both crashed down and 
died.

     If we still do like this,there will be a vicious (惡性的) circle: If people eat more snakes, the snakes will
disappear, but the mice will be more, there will be fewer crops. This will make more people hungry (挨餓).
Who wants to see such a bad thing happen? So let's not eat snakes any more.To protect snakes is to protect
ourselves.
