Australia is a big country, but nearly all Australians live near the sea. On hot summer

high. These large waves are known as surf and the people who ride them are called surfers.
Surfing is a skill and needs learning. Don't expect to be able to surf properly the first time you
try. However, by practicing a few time you will learn how to do it.
Surfing is not a new sport. Perhaps its origins need explaining. It started hundreds of
years ago in Hawaii. Men swam out to sea to catch fish and found they could come back to
land very quickly by riding the waves. These first surfers did not use a board. They were
"body surfers". Many people still do this type of surfing today.
After a while people started to use boards and rode the waves by lying, kneeling or
standing on them. These first surf-boards were made of wood and the water made them not
after a while. Today surfboards are made of plastic or fiberglass instead.
36. Surf is
A. waves that are on the high sea B. waves breaking on the ship
C. high waves breaking n the seashore D. high and small waves

THE INFLUENCE OF ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL
Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone and became a very famous man. He also

when deaf adults married each other, they would have (41)_______ children. He thought that
this was bad. Bell blamed the schools for the deaf for causing marriages between deaf people.

them. He would have preferred that deaf children be taught at hearing schools. He did not
(43)_______ schools or the deaf. Bell felt that deaf people would not mix with hearing people
if they went to (44)_______ schools.
Bell was (45)_______ about other things, too. He noticed that deaf people socialized
with other deaf people. He felt that socializing with other deaf people was bad. Deaf people

realized that such a law could not be enforced.

years, deaf people (41)_______ most of the fun. They could not hear what was being said and
had to guess.
