• 1．Here are 4 wonderful hotels where you can sleep in the great outdoors.
     Amanruya，Turkey
     Amanruya is an ideal resort for any traveler who wants to spend the whole day outdoors.The hotel offers adventures including island picnics and explorations of ancient remains.All the rooms should be reserved （預(yù)定） two weeks beforehand.Rates start at ＄535 a night per person.
     Ngala Safari Lodge，South Africa
     The hotel is located on the edge of Kruger National Park.Tourists can enjoy a one-night experience in a four-level tree house to get close to the animals hanging about in the park.Just don't expect to post live to your social platform from here：the tree house is off the Internet.Rates start at ＄560 a night per person.
     La Valise Tulum，Mexico
     If you can't decide whether to sleep indoors or outdoors，why not book a room that lets you do both in the same bed？Such is the main feature of La Valise Tulum.The king-size bed can be moved out onto the sea-facing balcony （陽臺(tái)） for a night under the stars or moved in for a more private experience.Unsurprisingly，this room is highly popular，with reservations often made a full year beforehand.Rates start at ＄600 a night per person.

• 2．Eric Moussambani is the first swimmer from Equatorial Guinea to compete in the Olympics.He found his passion for swimming shortly after high school.At the time，he didn't know how to swim，but he knew it was a sport he wanted to pursue.
     Unfortunately，there were no standard swimming pools in his country.Eventually，he found a hotel pool where he could only swim three hours a week.When he couldn't use the pool，he trained in rivers and the sea，with the local fishermen guiding him on how to use his legs and arms.
     After about eight months of swimming，Eric gained entry into the 2000 Summer Olympics through a program designed to encourage sports development in developing countries.
     In Sydney，Eric saw an Olympic-size swimming pool for the first time.It was so big that Eric said he was so frightened to compete in it.In preparing for his event，Eric trained at the same time as the US team and took the opportunity to study their techniques closely.A South African coach gave him a pair of competition trunks （泳褲） and some goggles （護(hù)目鏡），which were what he needed badly.
     On September 19，2000，Eric stepped out for the men's 100 m freestyle competition.With his two fellow competitors stopped from taking part for making false starts，Eric suddenly found himself racing on his own. "I swam the first 50 m really well，" said Eric after the competition. "I focused all my energy on telling myself to keep going." After turning for the second length，however，Eric began to pay for spending so much energy on the first.As his legs stiffened （變僵硬），he felt he was going nowhere. "It was then that I heard the crowd shouting，encouraging me to 'Go，go，go'.It gave me the strength to make it to the end."
     Eric finished the race with a time of 1：52.72，the slowest recorded time in Olympic history.But the audience did not care.They cheered him as if he had broken the world record.To this day，Eric is still an Olympic hero.

  C．Eric was eager to compete in the Olympic swimming pool.
