How did Greg start fire-walking?
Listen to the conversation, mark each question as A, B, C or D according to your listening.
W: So, Greg, this is certainly one of the most unusual hobbies I’ve heard of. How did it all start?
M: It was in 1977 that I first fire-walked. I was taught by a friend, and was so transformed by the experience, I immediately wanted to share it with as many people as possible. I wondered why no one was teaching fire-walking to the general public, and felt it was a valuable service needing to be offered. For almost seven years, I was the only person on the planet teaching fire-walking classes.
W: And have you had any problems teaching it?
M: It’s not an easy thing to do, and I should mention that I made many mistakes in those early years, and several dozen people were badly burned.
W: What kind of mistakes?
M: I used to make the coal beds six to eight inches deep. I soon learned that it was not the amount of coal, or the length of the fire-walk, which created the resulting exuberance and exhilaration people experienced, but rather, it was simply the act of taking one step—one step into an inferno ! Once I realised I could create the same results using safer fire pits which were less deep and much shorter in length, my injury rate dropped to almost zero.
W: That’s reassuring—almost zero! And why do you think people don’t get injured?
M: In 1978, I began seriously researching fire-walking, and discovered that there really was no definitive theory about the phenomenon. Every published theory contradicted some other published theory. No one could agree on why fire-walkers were not harmed by the glowing, red-hot embers. It then seemed to me that the best way to research fire-walking was to persuade as many people as possible to do it, so as to accumulate a large group that could be observed and studied. Therefore, I took it upon myself to create such a group. It became my personal mission. No one before me had ever embarked on a crusade to convince as many people as possible to step into fire pits containing red-hot coals exceeding 1 ,200 degrees Fahrenheit.
W: So, you’re still doing it?
M: Yes, all the time. Care to join my group?
W: I don’t think so, thanks. I value my feet!
选项
A、Making the coal beds six to eight inches deeper.
B、Extending the length of the fire pits.
C、Putting less coal in the inferno.
D、Reducing the depth and length of the fire pits.
答案
D
解析
对话中Greg提到曾发生过有人受伤之后,他表示“Once I realised I could create the same results using safer fire pits which were less deep and much shorter in length,my injury rate dropped to almost zero.”,说明他将火坑长度减短,深度变浅。故选D。
