3 . Skin - diving
Skin - diving (潜泳) is a new sport today. This sport takes you into a wonderful new world. It is like a visit to the moon. When you are under water, it is easy for you to climb big rocks because you are no longer heavy.
Here, under water, everything is blue and green. During the day, there is plenty of light.
When fish swim nearby, you can catch them with your hands.
When you have tanks (罐) of air on your back, you can stay in deep water for a long time. But you must be careful when you dive in deep water.
To catch fish is one of the most interesting parts of this sport. Besides, there are more uses for skin - diving. You can clean ships without taking them out of water. You can get many things from the deep sea.
Now you see that skin -diving is both useful and interesting.

Although traditional pet stores are somewhere you buy an animal to be your friend at home, there’s a new kind of pet store where you spend some quality time with the animals and just walk away, without taking anything. What really matters is the experience.
I visited one of these stores in the Sanlitun area in Beijing. I was targeting call ducks, which are famous for their cute looks and, of course, their sky-high prices, each of them can easily cost a few thousand yuan. Since I was not planning to spend so much on a duck, visiting them in one of these—what I’d call “mini-zoos”—seemed to be the perfect option.
There were a total of five call ducks at the store—among other animals—and we spent a good three hours with them. We got to learn much about them.
Call ducks are not as obedient as cats,so playing with them would include a lot of running from our side and quacking(呱呱叫) from theirs. Also, don’t expect them to be house-trained, one of the ducks actually pooped(排便) while sitting on my leg. But none of these little incidents reduced the pleasure of holding them in my hands and touching their full chests. It was like the whole world’s joy was in my hands, for those call ducks are fun and comforting—something I would hardly ever expect from work.
That’s the magic of animals: You don’t have to own them—simply spending time with them is enough.
