Ответ:

2 a)

I know about three very unusual activities described in the text: Volcano Surfing, Wok Racing, and River Bugging.
Я знаю о трех очень необычных занятиях, описанных в тексте: вулканический серфинг, гонки на воках и речное плавание на багги.

Volcano Surfing: It's about sliding down the ash of an active volcano in Nicaragua, called Cerro Negro. To go faster, you need to sit down on your board.
Вулканический серфинг: Это спуск по пеплу активного вулкана в Никарагуа, который называется Сьерро-Негро. Чтобы двигаться быстрее, нужно сесть на доску.

Wok Racing: This is a world championship where people race down an icy track in a Chinese frying pan. To speed up, you can warm the bottom of your wok before competing to melt the ice.
Гонки на воках: Это чемпионат мира, где люди гоняют по ледяной трассе в китайской сковороде вок. Чтобы ускориться, можно нагреть дно вока перед соревнованием, чтобы растопить лед.

River Bugging: You sit in an inflatable armchair and go down a river and rapids. To go faster, you should go backwards.
Речное плавание на багги: Вы сидите в надувном кресле и спускаетесь по реке и порогам. Чтобы двигаться быстрее, нужно плыть задом наперед.
