Derek and Shirley walked out of the airport building and into the bright sunshine. Looking up at the brilliant blue sky and then at the faraway mountains rising above the swaying palm trees, they couldn’t wait to start their holiday.

A taxi pulled up swiftly and silently. Derek dropped their suitcases into the boot and joined Shirley in the back seat. “Palm Trees Hotel, please,” Derek said excitedly. “Certainly, sir,” replied the driver, as he turned around with a flashing white smile. Derek and Shirley gave each other a puzzled look as the taxi eased smoothly into the traffic. “Excuse me, er, your face seems very familiar—in fact, you remind us of that famous film star, Rocky Overton... but of course, you can’t be.”

Derek and Shirley sat in silent disbelief as the driver explained that he was not a real person, but a robot made to look like a famous actor. “Rocky” explained that the taxi company had purchased the latest model of robot drivers since they were programmed to be safer and more reliable than human drivers. “So, here I am,” “Rocky” continued, “your first robot taxi driver!”

Derek and Shirley held each other’s hands more tightly. “Relax,” “Rocky” reassured them, “there is nothing for you to worry about. I can assure you that my driving skills are excellent. I’m equipped with perfect vision and superior reactions, and I know every street in the city. I am instantly updated with the latest traffic information so that I can avoid traffic jams and get you to your destination in the quickest and least stressful manner. Please sit back, relax and enjoy the journey.”

Derek and Shirley, feeling a little better, leaned back in their seats and closed their eyes. “And another thing,” “Rocky” added, “my line of robots represents the ultimate in computer technology. I am beautifully designed, made from only the best materials and subject to the strictest quality checks. Therefore, you are entirely safe with me. Nothing could possibly go wrong ... could possibly go wrong ... go wrong ... go wrong ...”

7 . If you’re a thrill seeker, here are several festivals and celebrations from around the world that will get your blood pumping.

Spain: Baby-Jumping

The Spanish village of Castrillo has some interesting ideas about childcare. Since the 17th century, the village has been holding a yearly ceremony in which babies are laid out on mat in the street. Actors dressed as devils then skip over them. It supposedly removes the children’s original sin. Nobody would blame you if you held your breath until the jumping part is over.

Italy: Fruit Battle

If oranges seem harmless to you, that’s probably because nobody has ever thrown one straight at your head. Every year in February the Italian town of Ivrea puts on an orange battle, in which the town overthrow a bad emperor. A horse-drawn cart carrying oranges and players representing the emperor’s evil helpers is drawn into the square. The people on foot have special uniforms. Cuts and hurts are to be expected. The orange juice in a cut is certainly an acquired taste. The battle looks like chaos, but there is an important limit: throwing oranges at the horses is strictly forbidden.

Japan: Extreme Log Ride

Once every six years the Onbashira festival takes place in the Lake Suwa region in Japan. The purpose of the festival is to replace the 16 logs that stand at the corners of the four buildings of the Suwa Grand Shrine. The celebrations begin in the mountains in April when 16 carefully chosen fir trees in the mountains are cut down using traditional logging tools. They are then dragged down to the temple without the use of mechanized equipment. So people have to work in large teams to hold them up mountains and across rivers. The entire journey, usually about 10 kilometers, is dangerous. This can result in many injuries and death.

A．To practise their breath.	B．To make children happy.
