(CEBSHL Talent Measurement) I

[单选题]

(CEB|SHL Talent Measurement) It's amazing how creative humans are in devising ways to torture themselves in the name of physical fitness. So, could I interest you in orienteering? Upon first hearing or seeing the word, you might think the activity has to do with the Orient. Not so. The word comes into English from the Swedish orienteering and both share the Latin root oriens: having to do with the "east" or "the rising sun" and now used to mean "finding one's place." Now, with geography and etymology out of the way, just what is orienteering? It's a sport that combines brains and brawn, although aficionados insist that "easy" orienteering is a possibility. To orienteer, you must have the following: a terrain or "course" of varying levels of difficulty, a detailed map of this course, and a compass. So immediately you can surmise correctly that the sport is somehow tied in with navigation. The idea is to traverse this course using the map and the compass and prove that you have visited various "control" sites that are defined by clues on the map. If intelligent navigation or luck works out, you come upon the flag that identifies the site. To prove that you have indeed come upon the site, you punch a control card you carry. To add further challenge, how you get from site to site is up to you. No road signs prevail, and your true mettle as an orienteer lies in your skill in completing the course in an efficient and therefore timely fashion. If you get bored with this ordinary garden-variety hike, you can always try ski-orienteering. Any volunteers? Don't all step forward at once! What is the main idea of the passage above?
