浙江省2022 学年七年级下学期英语期中检测卷（WS改编）
Paul Roberts, a 15-year-old boy, lives in New York. Like thousands of other American students, he usually goes away to a summer camp during the school holidays.
These camps are just for teenagers, without their parents, and Paul always has a great time. But this summer he's doing something different-he's going on an adventure* holiday in Hawaii.
It's a camping holiday for three weeks in Hawaii, for kids from 14 to
18. He's leaving on July 23rd and coming back on August 12th.
First, they're putting on backpacks and hiking through the forest in Hawaii. The place is very beautiful, with huge waterfalls and fascinating beaches. After this five-day walk, they're staying for two days in a valley*. The main activity here will be surfing. Paul doesn't know how to surf, but instructors will teach him how to do it, and he's really looking forward to this.
Then the organizers are providing mountain bikes and they're going for long rides-about 30 miles a day, around one of Hawaii's mountains. And on one day they're meeting a local Hawaiian family and helping them to plant fruit trees on their farm. After that, they're sailing for three days by the coast, and they'll have a chance to swim with dolphins and sea turtles!
This sounds amazing. Finally, they're going out for three days in sea kayaks*-they're visiting sea caves and swimming too.
Every night for the three weeks, they're camping in tents*, usually on the beach. This isn't a holiday for couch potatoes! They say the kids have to be fit, and of course they have to know how to swim and ride a bike. The kids can't use the computer or pad during the three weeks, but it's going to be a really special experience.
