Four teenage girls from Minnesota，US，spent 120 hours of non-stop togetherness. No cellphones. This is not a reality show，but an adventure journey.
“It was really perfect,” said Julia Ruelle of her recent adventure to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness with three of her childhood friends. “By unplugging，we had an amazing time.”
Last year，Julia Ruelle，the 16-year-old girl，took part in an essay contest and carried off a prize. The award was a 5-day canoe and camping adventure with up to three friends. No parents or guides would be there. So Julia invited her friends Anna Wander Madeline Wilson and Julianna Torelli.
The four Minnetonka High School students arrived in Ely for training the day before they began the journey. They set out the next day at 7 am，quickly developing a routine.
“We were done paddling by noon,” Julia said. “We ate lunch at the campsites and then it was time for hammocks（吊床），reading，making friendship bracelets（手链）and talking.”
The girls all had some experience in the outdoors before. Anna had been to the boundary waters with her family. “I love how you are separated from everything in your life, especially technology,” Anna said. Without her phone, she said, “I’m less worried about things.” Madeline, too, had been to the Boundary Waters a few years back. “But this time, I had to paddle right and set up camp,” she said. The girls made fire and cooked meal together. No one was ever hungry or homesick, but they were nervous the final night as they waited out a thunderstorm. They left wet sleeping bags in one tent, and squeezed into another for the night. “Every thunderstorm in the Boundary Waters feels huge.” Julia said.
On the car ride home, they were all on their phones catching up with friends. “It was a little at a loss turning my phone on,” said Anna. “Mental health can be improved so much in the Boundary Waters. It really helps to get away and reconnect with yourself.”

Located at Europe's biggest water park，the Galaxy Erding in South Germany，the world’s first VR water slide takes the exciting experience to a whole new level by offering thrill-seekers the choice of three attractive worlds—Space，Sky，or Snow. By simply wearing a headset, riders can slide through a magical alien world, follow beautiful butterflies around floating islands or put themselves in a white winter wonderland. To make the experience even more hear stopping，the 160-metre-long ride that lasts about 35 seconds has two uphill tracks that provide a roller coaster-like experience.
While the tyre slide，which has been successfully tested by almost 10，000 park goers since it opened in February 2018，is impressive，the technology behind it，developed by California startup Ballast is even more so. The specially-created waterproof headsets can be worn in water up to a few metres deep，without harming the delicate Samsung Galaxy S8 mobile devices that run the customer’s software for the VR experiences. The headsets also charge wirelessly（无线地），allowing park operators to swap out sets throughout the day.
The biggest challenge the company faced however，was providing a suitable VR experience for everyone. That’s because unlike roller coasters，where the speed is fixed for all riders，water slide speeds vary depending on the weight of the person. To overcome the issue，Ballast fixed smart sensors（传感器）in important areas along the slide to keep track of the riders progress at all times. The information，conveyed through the headset allows the customer’s software to adjust his or her location within the virtual world accordingly，making for a smooth seasickness free nide for all.
Though Ballast is thrilled at Space Glider’s success, the company has bigger ambitions. They want to create an experience where guests will be able to swim underwater surrounded by virtual dolphins, whales and even sharks, without wearing the heavy headsets!
1. What can people do if they go to the Galaxy Erding
A. They can swim with dolphins.
B. They can explore the outer space.
C. They can experience VR water slide.
D. They can swap out sets all day long.
2. What can help park goers experience a smooth seasickness free ride
A. The painkillers.
B. The fixed speed.
C. Sensors fixed in important areas.
D. Virtual dolphins, whales and sharks.
3. What is the author’s attitude towards the vi water slide
A. Objective.
B. Subjective.
C. Opposed.
D. Indifferent.
