8 . Arouca Geopark in Portugal has announced that visitors are free to visit its record-setting bridge, the 516 Arouca Bridge. Though it’s quite high, it’s the length of the bridge that has set a record. It’s the world’s longest hanging bridge for walkers.

The bridge runs between two mountains in Arouca Geopark. The “516” in its name comes from the fact that it’s 516 meters. Until the 516 Arouca Bridge was completed, the longest hanging bridge for walkers was the 494-meter-long Charles Kuonen Bridge in Randa, Switzerland. To replace an older crossing that was damaged by falling rocks, it was opened to the public five years ago, as the website for what is now the world’s second longest hanging bridge says.

The 516 Arouca Bridge, started in May, 2018, is made mainly of metal. It cost $2.8 million and took two years to complete. However, it was not until one year later that the bridge was officially opened. It is a little scary to walk on. The sides and bottom of the bridge are built with a metal grid (网格) and it’s easy to see through it At its highest point, the bridge is 175 meters off the ground. Far, far below is the rushing Paiva River.

Arouca Geopark is famous for its beautiful natural scenery and the many outdoor activities. Arouca’s leader, Margarida Belém, says proudly, “There’s no other bridge like this one in the world.” All of the city leaders think the bridge can attract people from all over the world for a lot of different reasons. Some might come for the scenery. Others might come to see how the bridge was built. But perhaps most will come to enjoy the safe, but scary experience of walking across. Its website describes the walk as “the most exciting 516 meters of your life”.

1. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A．Arouca Geopark.	B．The 516 Arouca Bridge.
C．The Charles Kuonen Bridge.	D．The website for the bridge.

2. In which year was the 516 Arouca Bridge opened officially?

A．In 2018.

B．In 2019.

C．In 2020.

D．In 2021.

3. What do the Arouca’s leaders expect of the 516 Arouca Bridge?

A．It can offer exciting experiences.	B．It can make local tourism increase.
C．It can make walkers safer.	D．It can be protected well by visitors.

4. What can be the best title for the text?
