21、Join the Roller Coaster Club!
You’re sitting in a tiny car. The car is part of a very small train that runs on a narrow track. Slowly, the little train climbs to the top of a huge hill.
You’re high above the ground, so high that you can see for miles. Suddenly, you rush toward the ground at a speed that takes your breath away. You’re on your way up again, and this time you’re upside down!
You go up, down, and around. You’re on a roller coaster (过山车). Some people think riding a roller coaster is really terrifying. One ride is more than enough for them, even in a lifetime. However, other people love riding roller coasters. They ride their favorite roller coaster over and over. They also like to try out new roller coaster.
There’s a club for people who are very crazy at riding roller coasters. It’s called ACE. ACE is a short form for American Coaster Enthusiasts (热衷者). Steven Reagan and Kevin Lipnicky belong to ACE, and so do their families. Their family holidays often include trips to amusement parks to ride on new roller coasters.
As members of ACE, the boys were among the first to ride a new roller coaster at Sea World in Texas. It’s called the Great White, which is the name of a kind of shark.
Sometimes, amusement parks close the roller coaster to everyone except ACE members.
“If there’s no one in line,” says Steven, “we keep our seats and ride again!”
It’s not all fun for ACE members. They also have a job to do. They tell owners of new amusement parks where the old roller coasters are. The owners buy the old roller coasters and move them to new homes so that they can be fixed instead of being destroyed (毁坏).
For ACE members, roller coaster riding is fun, fun, fun! People are thankful to the work they do to save different old roller coasters.

23、Who is the oldest man in the world? Where is the world’s highest waterfall? To find the answers, you can check the Guinness World Records book.
The idea of the book came from a British man named Sir Hugh Beaver. He and his friends once argued about which European game bird was the fastest. They failed to find the answer in any book. Later, the twins Norris and Ross McWhirter were invited to write a book of facts and figures. Neither of them knew that the book would become an all-time bestseller.
Since it was first published in 1955, more than 100 million copies of the book have been sold in almost 40 languages, and a new edition(版本) comes out every year.
Many people have tried to get into the book. There are 50,000 applications(申请) from 174 countries every year, according to the Guinness organization.
Anyone who thinks he or she has a very special skill or talent can apply for a Guinness record. After that, Guinness judges will evaluate(评估) your application. After many rounds of research and verification(查证), they will finally send you an official Guinness World Records certificate(证书)!

24、When Justin Tong was a child, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him doing lots of housework such as taking out the rubbish and sending newspapers. But when he grew up, he was better than his childhood friends and lived a happier and healthier life.
This is the finding of a 40-year study than followed the lives of 456 children in London. It showed that the children who worked hard in childhood had a richer and a happier future. “Children who worked in the home in childhood got more abilities and came to feel they were important members of society.” said Daniel Brown, the psychologist (心理学家)who made the study. “And because they felt good about themselves, and others felt good about them.”
Brown’s study followed these children in great information. They made the study about the children at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Brown, the researchers compared (比较)the children’s mental-health scores with their childhood-activity scores. The children got more points for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.
Working at any age is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and ability—the underpinnings (基础)of emotional (情感的) health. They also help him understand that people must work together and work toward common goals. The mast competent (合格的) adults are those who know how to do this.
Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live great in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.”
【1】What do we know about Justin Tong?
A.He enjoyed a happy life.

C.He always sold newspapers.
D.He hardly collected rubbish.
【2】Who will probably succeed in the future according to Paragraph 2?
A.Children who enjoy happier and richer lives.
B.Children who work in the home in childhood.
C.Children who take part in Daniel Brown’s study.
D.Children who feel good about people around them.
【3】How did Brown follow the children in his study?
A.By giving housework and praise.
B.By interviewing and giving scores.
C.By setting goals and showing love.
D.By solving problems and testing them.
【4】What’s the purpose of the passage?
A.To talk about an interesting study.
B.To introduce Justin Tong’s success.
C.To tell us about childhood activities.
D.To hope children to work hard.
【5】The passage is mainly about ________.
A.working is helpful for children’s growth
