For adrenaline junkies, the thrill of zorbing goes beyond description. It was invented and developed by two New Zealand friends, Andrew
and David Akers, in 1994. Since then, the sport has become popular among visitors to New Zealand and available in other countries worldwide
including the US, Australia, Canada, UK and India.
I still recall the first time I and my friend gave it a try. The cool thing about zorbing is that you can do it alone or with other people, so we
decided to do it together. At first, neither of us managed to stay upright very long. Then, we began sliding about inside the ball when the ball dived
off the hill. I was on my back for most of the ride. It was like what I’d imagine being inside a washing machine. We were so excited that our laughter
echoed inside the ball. To my relief, the two of us had plenty of room and didn’t collide into each other. At the end of the ride, the assistant titled the
zorb and we stepped out of the ball. We began talking it over, swapping stories of whose feet got soaking wet during the ride. For me, zorbing was
amazing. It might be worth a 17-hour flight back to New Zealand just to do it again.
True/False Questions:
Câu 17. The history of zorbing dates back to the early 1990s.
A. True B. False
Câu 18. You are not allowed to go zorbing in pairs.
A. True B. False
Câu 19. The author could stand up till the end of the ride.

Câu 20. Staying inside the zorb was like being in a washing machine.
A. True B. False
Choose the correct answer to each question:
Câu 21. What does the word “it” in the first paragraph refer to?

Câu 22. What can be inferred from the passage?

C. The author hurt herself during the ride.
D. The author hopes to try zorbing again.
