I love roller coasters. If I could ride roller coasters every day for the rest of my life I would die a really 　　　 man. I will stand in line for40minutes just to get on a ride that lasts 30 seconds. Each step that I take brings me closer and closer to my　　　 of going on a ride of a lifetime. The 　　　 has me skipping around like a 4 year old.

But during my first ride there, that kind of thrill turned to absolute　　　 when I made it to the front. 　　　 waiting in line I was now having a second thought. Quietly, I negotiated within myself about my courage to go through with this 　　　

From far away it looked 　　　 but when I was about to get in the driver’s seat I 　　　 I forgot my license. After some self motivation I finally made the move to 　　　 my seat.

On my way up I could clearly see the ups and downs 　　　 me. To me they were not only the route but also 　　　 challenges. Soon the track was full of such 　　　 tunnels that I could see only what was behind me but not in front.

　　　 there were people around me with both of their hands in the 　　　 while I， knowing that things were going to get 　　　 grasped the handle on my seat. I wouldn’t dare celebrate something that 　　　 me.

Just like roller coasters,　　　 is full of ups and downs, darkness and light, and is unpredictable when we go through various 　　　 situations. The best thing to do when we meet anything 　　　 is to lift our hands and 　　　 whatever we do.

Do you scream on a roller coaster ride? You slowly climb up a steep slope until an almost vertical(垂直的) drop, and then... Ahhhhhhhh! Thrill-seekers like me are in luck because theme parks are pushing the boundaries of technology to create the fastest, tallest, scariest roller coasters the world has ever known.

Alton Towers in Britain opened the world's first 14-1oop roller coaster a few months ago, called The Smiler. Over in Abu Dhabi, Ferrari World claims to have the world's fastest one. Ferrari World's Formula Rossa ride sends out passengers from 0-240km/h in just 4. 9 seconds. During this rapid acceleration they experience G-forces only fighter pilots usually　 feel: Up to 4. 8G. The designer of several rides at Alton Towers, said: "While we can stand 6-8Gs for very short periods of　 time, ff we experience 5G for more than five seconds we're likely to "black out."

On modern roller coasters passengers experience about 3G in tight turns and loops. But while we may have reached the limit in terms of G-forces, there is no technological limit to how fast or how high roller coasters can go---it's all down to money. Alton Towers' The Smiler cost ~18m to build.

Some companies are finding other ways to keep us amused. There's a move towards indoor rides where the experience is improved by audio-visual technologies. For example, a company called Dynamic Structures is currently developing a "coal-mine-themed" ride for a client in Dubai that will combine speed and G-forces with 3D projection effects and robotics, which will trick your brain into thinking you're really falling.

I can't wait to enjoy this one. What about you: Do you like being upside down?

1.The underlined phrase "black out" in the second paragraph probably means　 ....　 .

　　　 A. stop breathing　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. lose consciousness for a short time

　　　 C. lose memory forever　　　　　　　　　　 D. bleed to death

2. We can learn from the passage that __

　　　 A. all the theme parks are creating the fast roller coasters

　　　　 B. the Smiler sends out passengers from 0-240km/h in just 4.9 seconds

　　　 C. it is unusual for fighter pilots to feel up to 4.8G

　　　 D. the more the money is spent, the faster the roller coaster can go

3. The feature of the "coal-mine-themed" ride is

　　　 A. 3Dtechnologies　　　　　　 B. indoor rides　　　　　　 C. G-forces　　　　 D. dynamic structures

4. What is the best title for the passage?

　　　 A. The Fastest Roller Coaster　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. The Smiler and G-forces

　　　 C. Screaming for Fun　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. The New Technology
