Question

Given below are four headings and four magazine extracts. Match each heading to the corresponding extract and write it as a heading for the extract.

SPIRIT OF DAREDEVILRY	SAIL TO ADVENTURE
GATEWAY TO DEEP DOWN	A TRAIL OF DISCOVERY

 

a)	The inaugural round of the 250cc Rodil Trophy Motorcross World Championship was held before 17,000 spectators at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Pune. India’s lone entry, 17 year old Jagatweer Singh of Pune completed the race and picked up the first Rodil Championship points for the country. Stadium Motorcross racing has everything it takes to create a glamorous national event - speed, skill, stuntmanship and a lot of nail-biting drama.
b)	For twenty years, Valmik Thapar roamed the forests of Ranthambhore in Rajasthan, hoping to catch a glimpse of a tiger. He did see its pug marks and fresh droppings, but it was only the night before he was leaving, that he finally spotted the beast striding majestically down a forest track. For Thapar, that sight was the beginning of what he describes as an endless pursuit to observe and discover more about one of the world's most elusive and evasive nocturnal predators.
c)	Cave exploration (or pot-holding) is both a science and an adventure. The Frankfurt geologist, Gerhard Schmitt, has been descending into the depths of the earth with like-minded colleagues for more than 10 years, and has reached depths down to 975 meters in Turkey, Sardinia, Africa and South America. Schmitt and his team have crawled on their bellies through gaps in the rocks to unknown regions. “The exploration of a cave is just as enticing as climbing the highest of mountain peaks,” enthused Gerhard Schmitt, when talking of his daring excursions.
d)	“Cast off!” The order sent the cadets scrambling up the ratlines like monkeys, to unfurl the sails. Varuna was on its way to Australia, 8000 nautical miles away, to take part in the Tall Ships Event along with entries from nineteen other countries. It was a part of the 200th anniversary celebrations marking the landing of the first European settlers in Australia.
