The Best of Adventure and Sport in NSW

If you want adventure, then the state of New South Wales (NSW) in Australia is the place to go. No matter what the season is, you can choose from a wide variety of landscapes, climates, activities and experiences all with easy access to tour operators and local guides.

For snow lovers, there",s no better place than the Snowy Mountains. Skiers and snowboarders can hit the slopes for some downhill thrills in Kosciuszko National Park. Non-skiing adventure-seekers will enjoy hiking or snowshoeing.

If water sports are more your thing, there are plenty of places to go. Surfers grab your surfboards and head to Byron Bay, Shellharbour, or Newcastle",s Merewether Beach. To see spectacular sea life up close, visit Lord Howe Island, a world-famous destination for underwater diving.

The oceans, lakes and rivers around NSW offer a lifetime",s worth of exciting fishing and boating challenges. Want more? Experience the rush of whitewater rafting in Jindabyne and Penrith, or go barefoot waterskiing in Port Stephens.

For adventure in NSW, the sky",s the limit! Book a hot-air-balloon or helicopter ride over the stunning vineyards of the Hunter Valley, go skydiving in Wollongong, or try hang-gliding in Stanwell Park.

Get to know the State",s unique and tough landscapes on a caving, canoeing or rock climbing adventure. Four-wheel-driving and off-roading tours are popular in both Country NSW and Outback NSW. Or explore parts of the State on horseback—you",ll find great horse riding options in Sydney and throughout NSW. ( )36. Where can you go barefoot waterskiing? A. Stanwell Park. B. The Hunter Valley.

Shopping is a game with two teams—shoppers and retails(零售商). Here is the game plan you need.

Bargains and Impulse(冲动) Shopping

Limit the number of stores you go to. The more “legwork” you put in, the more you may feel the need to “reward” yourself for your effort.

Don",t make friends with the sales staff. The more you interact(互动) with the sales staff, the more likely it is that you will buy something. This is because you feel like you don",t want to let down someone who has helped you.

Leave your credit cards at home. Research shows people are willing to spend more money with plastic than with cash. The less immediate the payment, the more easily people will spend.

At the Supermarket

Slow down and double-check what you",re picking up. Stores can make sales very specific and confusing, such as placing a sign offering 50% off a 2 kg ham wedged(嵌入) between the full-price 3 kg ones. Shoppers could wind up grabbing the wrong one and paying full price.

Don",t think when you buy in bulk(大批量) you",re getting a better deal. That",s not always the case. In the produce department, for example, individual capsicums are almost always cheaper than those in the multi-pack.

Don",t buy something in bulk just because it",s on sale. The ten-for-$10 promotion is one of the most effective. This is what stores do to get volume out the door—even if they",ve raised the unit price to do it.

Shopping Online

Hide your cookies. Companies use online cookies (a piece of data from a website stored on your web browser that informs the site of related net activity) to target shopper with relevant ads, but they can also reveal information from your browsing history. Stick to budget-friendly sites to bump into lower offers. And use your browser settings to block third-party tracking cookies.

Look online first. Even if you choose to shop in store rather than online, check sites with user reviews and ratings, such as amazon.com and cnt.com, to find products with the most positive feedback. If the highest-rated items are cheaper online, including delivery, ask the store to match the total price.

Geo-blocking is what some multinational retails do to charge different prices for the same product in different markets. With a little more effort, you can get around geo-blocking. Apple, for instance, will let you shop in their US store by using US iTunes gift-cards that can be bought online.

Play the Game to Get Instant Bargains

Speak up! Not happy with the view from your hotel window, or the way the burger is cooked? Don",t be forced to put up with the poor experience, give honest, polite feedback and we",re almost certain you",ll be treated to what you expected—and paid for.

Find better online actuation(驱动) deals. Misspelled it! One of the best ways to find great deals on eBay is via auctions(拍卖) that have misspelled words. For example, an “Xbox Connect” will often sell for less than an “Xbox Kinect” since fewer people search for the wrong version. WebsiteFatFingers.com helps you find these listings. With thousands of items listed on eBay with spelling mistakes each year, you",re likely to find what you",re looking for at much lower prices. ( )38. To control the impulse of shopping, the writer suggests that shoppers .

A. follow their inner needs

B. try to visit as many shops as possible C. pay in cash instead of by credit card

D. have a close relationship with the sales staff

( )39. When shopping online, shoppers can fight back against stores and advertisers by .

A. blocking third-party tracking cookies B. thinking twice before buying in bulk

C. buying products from other countries only D. avoiding being trapped by spelling mistakes

( )40. The writer offers shoppers the game plan of shopping to . A. tell them how to get a perfect bargain B. show them the ways to save shopping time C. warn them of the danger of the shopping game D. teach them how to communicate with retailers

C

Attitudes toward new technologies often fall along generational lines. That is, generally, younger people tend to outnumber older people on the front end of a technological shift.

It is not always the case, though. When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars, there doesn",t seem to be a clear generational divide. The public overall is split on whether they",d like to use a driverless car. In a study last year, of all people surveyed, 48 percent said they wanted to ride in one, while 50 percent did not.

The fact that attitudes toward self-driving cars appear to be so steady across generations suggests how varying the shift to driverless cars could be. Not everyone wants a driverless car now—and no one can get one yet—but among those who are open to them, every age group is similarly involved.

Actually, this isn",t surprising. Whereas older generations are sometimes reluctant to adopt new technologies, driverless cars promise real value to these age groups in particular. Older adults, especially those with limited moving or difficulty driving on their own, are one of the classic use-cases for driverless cars.

This is especially interesting when you consider that younger people are generally more interested in travel-related technologies than older ones.

When it comes to driverless cars, differences in attitude are easily noticeable based on factors not related to age. College graduates, for example, are particularly interested in driverless cars compared with those who have less education, 59 percent of college graduates said they would like to use a driverless car compared with 38 percent of those with a high-school diploma or less.

Where a person lives matters, too. More people who live in cities and suburbs said they wanted to try driverless cars than those who lived in rural areas.

While there",s reason to believe that interest in self-driving cars is going up across the board, a person",s age will have little to do with how self-driving cars can become mainstream. Once driverless cars are actually available for sale, the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them. ( )41. What happens when a new technology appears?

A. It often leads to great inventions in other related fields. B. It contributes greatly to the advance of society as a whole. C. It further widens the gap between the old and the young.

D. It usually draws different reactions from different age groups. ( )42. What does the author say about the driverless car? A. It does not seem to create a generational divide. B. It will not necessarily reduce road accidents. C. It has given rise to unrealistic expectations. D. It may start a revolution in the car industry.

( )43. Why does the driverless car appeal to some old people?
