9 Read the text. Match paragraphs A–E of the text with questions 1–7. There are two extra questions. The most dangerous journey
A How do you feel about car journeys? Do you get a bit bored, ask the driver how long it’s
going to take, and then fall asleep? Or do you get extremely anxious? This is exactly
how I felt last month, when I took a trip down the most dangerous road in the world.

B The North Yungas road in Bolivia goes from La Paz, which is a very large city to the
town of Coroico in the mountain region of the Amazon rainforest. The road is about
69 km long, but in that short distance it goes down from about 4,650 m high to 1,200 m.
Although it is only about three metres wide and there are no guard rails, cars travel in
both directions. The views are amazing, but between two and three hundred travellers
are killed every year when they drive off the side of this road. In Spanish it is called El
Camino de los Muertos – the Road of the Dead.

C When I went to visit my friend Jacqueline in La Paz, I had no idea how dangerous the
North Yungas road was. I was very excited about the trip to the Amazon rainforest that
she wanted to take me on. When we got on the bus, Jacqueline let me sit by the window
to get the best view. I didn’t feel suspicious at all.

D It was only when the journey started that I began to feel frightened. The bus drove right
to the edge of the road many times, and when I looked over, I could see the forest about
600 m below us. We drove on quickly through thick cloud – how do you know where
you’re going when you can’t see? I held on to Jacqueline’s hand. Then we drove under a
waterfall that was slowly washing the road away. I was shocked!

E When we met another car coming the other way, we drove so close to the edge of the
road that a wheel seemed to go off the edge. This happened several times and I started
thinking that we might not reach our final destination. When we finally got to Coroico, I
felt so relieved. I let go of Jacqueline’s hand and saw that it was red. I was a bit
embarrassed, but so happy that we were not on that road any more.
