Bungee jumping: People on some South Pacific islands have been bungee jumping for hundreds of years. In 1979, some people bungee jumped off a bridge in England and made the sport popular around the world. Bungee jumping came to China in 1996.

Skateboarding: At first, this sport was called “sidewalk surfing”. Skateboarders often jump high into the air, go down steps or slide(滑行) down rails on their boards. They wear baggy trousers(寬松褲) so they can move more freely.

Snowboarding: This became a winter Olympic sport in 1998. People tie their feet to the board with special shoes. They don’t use any ski sticks. Then, they ride down hills, jump high and do tricks.

Bob always took the newspaper to Grandpa White’s home last before heading for home. Grandpa White’s was at the end of the road. Bob liked Grandpa White. He often waited for him near the front gate with sweets or nice cakes. Besides, he often asked Bob about things he was doing—about what he was going to do for the summer and what he liked to do.
