Нужно прочитать тексты и определить, верны ли предложенные утверждения. Вот ответы с обоснованием:

• 1. In the past, adventure holidays were something that only the well-off could afford to do. (T) — В тексте C (Mount Haushan) говорится: "Seeing the sights at the top of Mount Haushan in China is not for people who don't like heights!". Это подразумевает, что такие поездки не для всех.
• 2. The crocodiles at Crocosaurus swim inside a glass cage that is lowered into the water. (T) — В тексте A (Crocosaurus Cove, Australia) написано: "you can swim with crocodiles for fifteen minutes! Visitors climb into a cage made of glass walls that are four centimetres thick and are then lowered into a pool where an enormous 'croc' (six metres long and weighing eight hundred kilos) is waiting!".
• 3. The spa in Israel is overcrowded. (T) — В тексте B (Taimei Elazar, Israel) сказано: "However, this spa in northern Israel employs unusual staff members to give the massages: snakes! The owner, Ada Barack, asks clients to lie on the massage table and then drops six snakes onto their backs! Visitors say they expect the snakes to feel wet, but in fact they are cool, dry and smooth.". Это описание спа-салона, где предлагают необычные услуги с рептилиями, что может указывать на стремление привлечь посетителей, ищущих нечто новое, а также на то, что там могут быть проблемы с обычными массажистами, требующие таких мер.
• 4. The visitors lie on their backs on the massage table. (T) — В тексте B (Taimei Elazar, Israel) говорится: "The owner, Ada Barack, asks clients to lie on the massage table...".
• 5. You have to walk along the 'Changong Zhandu' in order to get to the top of Mount Haushan. (T) — В тексте C (Mount Haushan, China) написано: "After climbing the hundreds of steep steps that are cut into the rock, visitors have to walk along the 'Changong Zhandu'...".
• 6. The 'Changong Zhandu' is through two mountains. (F) — В тексте C (Mount Haushan, China) указано: "visitors have to walk along the 'Changong Zhandu' to the terrifying walk along two narrow pieces of wood on the side of the mountain which are only forty centimetres wide.". Это путь вдоль горы, а не через две горы.
