陳蕙雅思閱讀短文 - 瘋狂的飛翔斗篷

看過紅牛廣告的人都會注意，主人要及時趕回城裡，這人沒有開車而是飛馳向了山頂，之後撐開飛翔斗篷滑翔回公司。而今天，這人又在中國再次進行飛翔嘗試。不過肯定不是在北京，北京今天重度污染，這要是飛起來……能見度太低……

This Saturday, aerial stuntman Jeb Corliss will attempt to fly through a 30-foot-wide crack in a 900-foot long rock in China wearing his wingsuit.

Needless to say, it's the 37-year-old's most challenging jump ever – he's even giving it a name: "The Flying Dagger." Because the rock is so long and tall (870 feet), it requires scary-precise flying after he makes the leap from the helicopter.

"A lot of us have done a lot of very precise flights, like I've hit the string on balloons, and gone by the arms of the Christ statue, and flown through a waterfall," he told Outside Magazine. "But in those jumps I was only super precise for a split second—two seconds max. This time, I'm going to have to be super precise for somewhere between 10 to 30 seconds."

The fissure is so narrow that Corliss won't be able to deploy his parachute once he's inside. And that's the one thing that makes him nervous.

"I'm more concerned with what happens to me when I come out the other end," he told Outside. "Once you come out of it you can't get any more altitude. So when I fly out of this thing, I could be deploying my parachute at pretty low altitude. The problem of pulling at a pretty low altitude is that I'm over a jungle and there's a fairly small landing area. You want to avoid landing in trees whenever possible, but if you have to land in trees, you have to land in trees. So it could be very exciting."
