It's great fun to explore （探索） new places—it feels like an adventure, even when you know you're not the first to have been there. But make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles.
● Do the map reading if you're being driven somewhere. It'll be easier if you keep turning the map so it follows the direction you' re traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn, or you'll have to move to the back seat.
● Get a group of friends together and go exploring. You'll need a good map, a compass （指南针）, a raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies （应急现金）. Tell someone where you're going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back. The test is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up.
● See if your school or a club organizes orienteering activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B （and B to C, etc. ） in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity. Either way, it's not only good fun, but a great way to keep fit.

探索一个新地方是极其有趣的，就像一次冒险行动，即便是你明明知道自己不是第一个来这个地方的探险者。当然，关键是不要走丢了或者是在同一地方兜圈子浪费时间。
如果是别人开车你自己可得好好研究一下地图。旅行时如果照着地图上描述得走的话会省事得多。坐在车上一直看着前方这样你就可以在司机走错路之前提醒他一下，要不然你就坐到后排。
找帮朋友一起探险，你们需要的是一张好的地图，一个指南针，一件雨衣还有带上手机以便迷路时好向人求助，当然得带点现金应急用。在出发之前跟人说一声，好让他们知道你们什么时候回来。这个测试不在于你能走多块，所以最好是大家齐心点，也好让那些走得慢的朋友们跟上。
打听一下你们学校或是某俱乐部是否组织越野赛。为了找到正确方向你们需要一张地图和一个指南针。这既可以看作一项运动，跟自己的团队一起在最短的时间里从A点出发到B（或者是B到C），也可以用于消遣休闲。不管怎样这不仅能给你带来乐趣也可以帮你保持体型。
