Befre barding the virtual reality rller caster, rider put n a VR headset acrss their face. They wn’t see where the steel track is ging, r what’s cming up next. As the ride launches int a series f steep drps, banks and lps, riders are invlved in high—definitin imagery and 360-degree virtual views. There's even a stry line t fllw as they’re screaming their heads ff.
In the cmpetitive wrld f wh can g higher, faster and deliver mre G-frces (离心力), this new kid n the blck is making a splash at amusement parks acrss Nrth America. Next spring, Six Flags will present nine virtual reality rller casters at its parks in Texas, Califrnia, Maryland, and New Yrk.
“It's perfect t have this virtual reality technlgy that gives yu the thrilling feeling f being in a different wrld，” said Thmas Wagner, CEO f VR Caster, which develped the system fr Six Flags, “and t cmbine in with a caster that delivers mtin（运动）, G-frces, zer-gravity mments—it’s a ttally new kind f attractin.”
What makes the experience different frm 3-D mtin simulatr (模拟器）rides is that the imagery playing inside the headsets is cmpletely in sync( 同步）with what the physical rller caster is ding n the track. S while riders are flying amid (在…之间）high—rise buildings in the virtual wrld, they’re barreling thrugh a crkscrew（拔塞钻）in real life.
At Six Flags Magic Muntain utside Ls Angeles, VR technlgy was added t lngtime favrite “Revlutin” and re-branded as “The New Revlutin." Built in 1976， it was the first lping rller caster in the wrld. Tday, riders n lnger experience a twisting jurney thrugh green trees and hills. Instead, they’re knee—deep in a mankind vs. aliens stry line.
At Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antni, thrill seekers wh bard the new “Superman: Kryptn Caster Virtual Reality Caster” are fully invlved in the cmic—bk wrld f Metrplis.
Sme skeptical park-gers have questined whether the VR effects cause mtin sickness。
“It’s crucial t have the virtual reality ride precisely synced t the real ride," Wagner said, “because therwise, yu wuld get dizzy and have mtin sickness."
“The entire VR industry, especially gaming develpers, are fighting with this mtin sickness prblem. If yu’re sitting at hme in a chair and yu’re watching this cnvincing 3—D mvement, yu get dizzy. But when yu're n the caster, and yu actually feel the same mvements that yu are watching and seeing, yu dn’t."
Of curse, “It’s still a rller caster, and it’s still kind f fierce."
S far, Wagner said, the VR rller casters have attracted every type f daredevil. “Peple wh are even afraid f casters like it better in VR, because they feel a little bit safer,” he said, “They dn't think a vide game envirnment can harm them in any way.”
( )4. Which helps create a special stry line?
A. A rller caster. B. A VR headset.C. High buildings. D. Zer-gravity.
( )5. When yu ride a VR rller caster, yu _____.

Did yu knw that the Chinese built the largest canal in the wrld? Its length f 1,104 miles easily cmpares with a rute linking New Yrk and Flrida. Cnnecting five river systems and fur prvinces, it ends at Beijing in the Nrth and Hangzhu in the suth. Fr this reasn, it is fficially called the Beijing-Hangzhu Grand Canal.
In 486 B.C., the leader f the State f Wu,t transprt gds t the nrthern areas f China,cnstructed a man-made channel using already existing waterways t link the Yangtze and Huai rivers. It was this channel that laid the fundatin fr the future lnger Grand Canal. Mre than 1000 years later,Emperr Yang f Sui Dynasty had the ld canals rebuilt and cnnected t frm what we knw tday as the Grand Canal.
Then in 1403,Emperr Yngle f the Ming Dynasty transferred his capital frm Nanjing t Beijing. In rder t feed all thse mving Nrth, he had t transprt grain frm the suth alng the Grand Canal. T restre the Canal,mre than 47,000 men were emplyed.
The canal sn became the ecnmic lifeline f the empire. Grain was nt the nly trade gds transprted Nrth n the waterways.Salt was anther, as well as wine and tea. Gds traded frm the Nrth included cttn, wl,cal, flur,precius stnes, and dried meat. At times, mre than 120,000 sldiers and fficers were needed t perate the almst 12,000 ships that annually travelled the Grand Canal.
With the expansin f the railway system in the mid-1800s, the Grand Canal became less and less imprtant t traders. Tday,few gds are transprted alng its waterways.Still, the current Suth-Nrth Water Transfer Prject prves that the Chinese gvernment still sees the Grand Canal imprtant t the welfare f China, The aim f this cstly prject is t divert huge amunts f water every year frm the Yangtze River t the drier regins in the nrth.
( )8. What is special abut the Grand Canal?

Hwever, self-satisfied expressins f minimalist living have earned plenty f dubts. “Minimalism is a gd quality nly when it’s a chice, and it’s telling that its fan base is frm the well-ff middle class. T peple wh dn’t have enugh in the first place, celebratins f ‘less is mre’ can sund mre like a luxury than a cnsiderable lss.”Stephanie Land wrte in The New Yrk Times.

Imprving as a runner is abut mre than just running all f the time. 16 In that case, yu can make large imprvements as a runner in a relatively shrt time, n matter what yur sprt, race, r running habits are.
17 It is cmmn fr runners t push themselves abut the same amunt each time, running similarly challenging runs and gradually increasing difficulty.

Every fast-fd emplyee knws that the drive-thrugh windw is the wrst psitin. The windw sticks with cnstant ice; the rar f engines hurts yur 21 ; yur wrds are lst in the hwling wind.
On a 22 afternn, everything changed.
Every nce in a while, the sub-zer temperatures seal a 23 windws shut. Drivers dn’t exactly enjy having t stand utside in the cld, 24 their rders int a speaker bx, when they expect t drive thrugh n their heated leather seats. In such cases, mst custmers tend t shw their annyance t the emplyees.
This wman was 25 .
“I’ll get the next car’s 26 as well,” she said as she came up t the windw t pay. She std utside, 27 much snw n her hair. Thugh she was bviusly freezing, her bright 28 lit up her face like a fire.
“Yu can’t 29 their drinks,” I said, cnfused and tired.
“N, but I’ll buy them,” she said. “Pay it frward and all that.”
Cmpletely puzzled, I charged her as 30 , and when the next custmer arrived at the windw I explained what had just happened. I watched as his 31 changed — first angry t be ut in the cld, then 32 at the randm act f kindness, and finally, delighted by his 33 .
“I suppse I’ll pay fr the next rder then,” he replied, ndding and waving at the impatient driver 34 him. He 35 ver the cash and received his pre-paid ht drink.
The trend cntinued. Custmers arrived annyed, nly t leave 36 and pleased. Sme were shcked t spend much mre than they had expected, 37 thers ended up receiving their rder fr less than half the price.
Five vehicles passed, then ten, then twenty. N ne refused t pay. Custmers std at my windw 38 a fist-full f change t buy drinks fr a cmplete stranger. Cars drve ff, hnking (鸣笛) and 39 their thanks.
It nly takes ne custmer, ne persn, t change the entire 40 f traffic. It nly takes ne mment, ne smile, t warm up even the cldest f days.

One Saturday afternn, I was watching TV in the living rm with my grandpa when a blinding flash f lightning flashed acrss the sky, fllwed by a deafening sund, and the pictures n TV disappeared with that sund. Befre I realized what had happened, a gray-white shadw rushed in thrugh the pen windw and flew ver my head. Bang! It hit the wall and slid ff t the flr. Shaking with fear, I apprached it cautiusly and saw that it was a pigen. It lked at me in fear, trying t pen its wings and struggling its feet, but apparently pwerless.
S I called my grandpa and immediately set ut t give it a helping hand. Taking it in my hands, I felt a few drps f warmth n my hands. It was bld! I gently spread its wings and there were a few red feathers inside. “Dn’t wrry. We’ll get it ut alive,” Grandpa said t me. Then he gt the first-aid kit. With sme cttn, we dried the bld, cleaned the wund and then put it under a hairdryer t dry. All went smthly, fr the pigen had n strength left t resist. There happened t be an empty birdcage at hme, s I put it in gently and added a little water and sme grains.
Fr the next few days, the mment I gt hme frm schl, I wuld run t feed the pigen. And Grandpa helped a lt, tidying up the cage daily. Little by little, its strength returned. One evening, I fed it with the biscuit I was eating. It enjyed it! One week later, its wund almst healed (痊愈); its feathers grew and it became brave. Whenever I sat at the table eating biscuits, it lked up at me, cing (咕咕地叫) cnstantly. T my jy, I culd als reach int the cage t tuch it. When I gently fingered its head, it playfully pecked (啄) at me. Finally it cmpletely recvered. But every time I was with it, it seemed restless in the cage. T make it happy and pretty, I tied an range string (线)arund its leg.
