【正文】 ht for them, whether this is their first time away from home or they have experienced wilderness adventurers. Canoe camping is just the beginning. At Northwaters and Langskib (NWL) we offer wilderness adventures designed to engage and empower young people at a given stage in adolescent development. Within the context of a fun and challenging canoe trip, we use proven techniques in munity building, group process, Native philosophies and storytelling to create a pathway through adolescence. This approach makes us unique among wilderness adventure camps. Langskib is our boys canoe camp。 Northwaters is home to our girls camp and coed camp. Our base camps are located 20 kilometers apart on remote islands in the heart of Ontario39。s 4 million acre Temagami Wilderness. Working together, we have the advantages of a large anization while being able to limit program size to ensure a quality experience. 21. According to the text, the Northwaters Program ________.

I can39。t say that I enjoyed it, but it was an experience I39。ll never fet. I could never understand why there were many things in the sales。 where did they e from? Now I know the secret! Firstly, there is the special winter stock and the stock that people buy all the year round。 some of these things are slightly reduced. Secondly, there are the summer clothes they couldn39。t sell last year。 these are heavily reduced to clear them. Thirdly, there are cheap clothes bought in specially for the sales。 these are put out at high prices ten days before the sale begins and then are reduced by 60% in the sale. Clever! Lastly, they buy in ―seconds (clothes not in perfect condition) for the sale and they are sold very cheaply. When I arrived half an hour before opening on the first day of the sale, there was already a queue around three sides of the building. This made me very nervous. When the big moment arrived to open the doors, the security guards, looking less confident than usual, came up to them, keys in hand. The moment they had unlocked the doors, they hid behind the doors for protection as the noisy crowded in. I couldn39。t believe my eyes: this wasn’t shopping, it was a battlefield! One poor lady couldn39。t keep her feet and was knocked over by people pushing from behind. Clothes were flying in all directions as people searched for the sizes, colors and styles they wanted. Quarrels broke out. Mothers were using their small children to crawl through people39。 s legs and get hold of things they couldn39。t get near themselves Within minutes I had half a dozen people pushing clothes under my nose, each wanting to be the first served. Where had the famous queue gone? The whole day continued like that. I began to realize why, twice a year, Graham39。 s was happy to turn the expensive store into a battlefield like this. In the sale fever, people were spending money like water without thinking whether they needed what they were buying. As long as it was a bargain, it was OK. As soon as I got home, I crashed out for four hours. Then I had dinner and went back to bed, fearing the sound of the alarm which would tell me to get ready for the second day of the sale. 24.
