8 . On June 23,2018,twelve young Thai boys and their assistant football coach wandered into a karst cave in northern Thailand, near the border with Myanmar. What happened next would grab the world’s attention and lead to a complex and daring international rescue operation. The 10.3-kilometer-long Tham Luang cave flooded, trapping the boys in total blackness nearly 2.5 kilometers from the cave entrance.

Thousands of people from around the globe participated in the rescue effort, including military personnel, medical experts and the rock stars of the operation — cave divers. The divers, who safely removed all of the Thai children and their coach after 18 days underground, dealt with tight spaces and low visibility in muddy water- conditions that would prove deadly: Saman Gunan, a former Thai Navy Seal, died while transporting air tanks into the cave.

While the sport of cave diving had received attention in the pop culture area prior to the rescue mission in North Thailand, there is little doubt that the brave divers at Tham Luang cave helped push the activity and its varieties of risks into global society’s minds.

The sport-often referred to as among the world’s most dangerous recreational activities-has its roots in pre-WWII England. Since then, the recreational practice of cave diving, described by Australian cave explorer Richard Harris (a participant in the Tham Luang cave rescue) as an “unusual hobby” for “the ordinary,” has spread around the world-China included.

Over 1,000 kilometers northeast of Tham Luang cave, in South China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, lies karst-peak-covered Du’an county-China’s little-known cave diving Mecca.

Home to thousands of kilometers of underground rivers, Du’an county offers divers spellbinding geological formations, perhaps the world’s largest collection of blind fish species and a rare variety of freshwater jellyfish.

1. What do we know about the Tham Luang cave rescue operation?

A．There was no loss of life in the process.	B．Rock stars took part in the rescue efforts.
C．Rescue team came from more than Thailand.	D．Few people cared about it outside Thailand.

2. What contributes to people knowing more about cave diving globally?

A．Its dangerous recreations.	B．Its long history.
C．An expert’s description.	D．The divers’ heroic deeds.

3. Why is Du’an county referred to as a cave diving Mecca?

A．It is northeast of Tham Luang cave.	B．There are lots of underground rivers.
C．It is hardly known to the outside world.	D．It has the world’s largest geological formations.

4. What will be talked about in the following passage?

A．Spectacular cave diving experiences in Du’an.

B．Diving instructions shared by Richard Harris.

C．Lessons learned from this rescue operation.

D．Foods offered to tourists in Du’an.
