25、Have you ever ridden a Ferris wheel lately? Can you imagine the flying feeling as you are pulled up to the top and then moved down to the bottom quickly again?

Today a Ferris wheel is usually 40 to 60 feet tall． That seems very high when you are on the top looking down． But the first Ferris wheel was 264 feet high – taller than a twenty-story building! Can you imagine the view from the top of that?

The first Ferris wheel was built for the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago． The people who planned the fair were looking for an attraction that would bring people to Chicago． George Ferris handed a drawing of a giant wheel that people could ride on． At first everyone laughed at his strange idea． But Mr． Ferris did not give up,  and finally the idea was accepted． The ride opened in June of 1893．

Today’s Ferris wheels have 12 to 16 seats,  which each carry 2 or 3 people． But that first one had 36 enclosed cars,  each holding 60 passengers． When filled,  it carried 2, 160 people． During that summer in Chicago,  about 1．5 million people rode the Ferris wheel．

After the fair the ride was moved to a nearby amusement park built especially to show off the wheel． In 1904,  it was moved again – to St． Louis for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition． After the fair there,  the wheel stood unused． In 1906 it was finally sold to a company for scrap metal (废铁)．

Luckily a Chicago bridge builder,  W．E． Sullivan,  figured out how to make a smaller Ferris wheel that could easily be taken apart and put together． In 1906 he started the company that still makes many of the Ferris wheels used today．

But,  whenever you ride one,  remember that it all began with George Ferris’s strange idea!

【1】How tall is a Ferris wheel today?

_________________________________________________________________

【2】What was the first Ferris wheel built for?

_________________________________________________________________

【3】What did people think of Ferris’s idea at first?

_________________________________________________________________

【4】How many people rode the first Ferris wheel during the summer in 1893?

_________________________________________________________________

【5】Compared with today’s Ferris wheels,  what was the first Ferris wheel like?

_________________________________________________________________

26、If some people say that they can help improve your English after you buy their books, don't go for them. Improving spoken English is a matter of practice and right guidance.

For improving your communication skills, you should first of all be comfortable with grammar. Many people think learning grammar is very boring, but grammar is useful for getting a good hold of what you speak. So if you are weak in grammar, I suggest that you go and get a grammar book. Don’t worry if you cant remember everything. No one can remember everything in grammar. Just get a good hold of it. That should be enough for the basic preparation.

Talk with people around you in English. Try to talk as much as possible with your classmates or teachers in English. This will help you get self-confidence(自信). Break down all barriers that stop you from doing so. Make good friends, and talk with them in English.

If possible, join an English class. This is often helpful as the teachers drive you for good communication skills. What's more, you get on well with your classmates. You can talk freely and have no feeling of shame, and the learning process is very fast.

Reading English also helps, as you get used to different English words and your grammar gets improved. Get a proper English book to start reading. A novel in English is also helpful, but novels may have many slang words(俚语词),which might have a bad influence on your grammar. But anyway, I suggest going for it. In this world there is nothing free, and if you are learning  something, then you have to accept the disadvantages of it.

【1】According to Paragraph 2, what should we do if we want to improve our communication skills?

A. Learn English grammar well.

B. Speak English as often as possible.

C. Get a lot of practice and right guidance.

D. Remember everything important in English.

【2】The underlined word “barriers” means “_______” in Chinese.

A. 信息   B. 方法   C. 经历   D. 障碍

【3】Why should we try to read an English novel?

A. Because it is written in good grammar.

B. Because we can learn something useful from it.

C. Because it can help us have good friends to talk with.

D. Because we can learn many slang words from it.

【4】The passage mainly tells us_______.

A. why we should learn English

B. how to learn English grammar

C. how to improve spoken English

D. why we should buy an English book

27、   Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh(1853-1890)killed himself by shooting himself in the chest(胸膛).

This is what van Gogh himself told his brother, the doctors and the police just before he died.

However, in a new book Van Gogh: The Life, two Pulitzer (普利策奖) Prize-winning authors, Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith, argue that van Gogh may have been murdered.They believed that the artist was protecting a 16-year-old boy named Rene Secret, who shot him accidentally.

Van Gogh's statement that he shot himself was accepted because he had been mentally unstable(精神状况不稳的)for two years. He suffered from psychotic(精神病的)attacks and imagined things that were not really happening. Art critics (评论家)believe that his unstable mental state is shown in his work, describing his style of painting as shaken. Some of his most famous paintings, such as The Starry Night, were produced during this period.

Van Gogh is among a number of creative minds who suffered from mental health problems. In fact,mental illness is so common among famous creative figures that scientists have studied whether there is link between creativity and insanity(精神错乱). Research began in the 1970s, but the idea that an unstable mind could be linked to creative genius(天才) was already around in ancient Greece.

Some scientists believe mental illness, in its more manageable state, gives artists creativity. Research has found that doing creative activities can also be therapeutic(有疗效的) for people suffering from mental illness. Painting, writing, or making something can be a positive way for people to express their thoughts.

【1】Before he died: Gogh himself told others that .

A.he would  kill himself B.he would be shot by a boy

C.he was seriously ill D.he had had an accident

【2】From Gogh's The Starry Night, it is clear that .

A.Gogh was good at drawing stars

B.Gogh's mental state was unstable

C.Gogh was at his best in drawing

D.drawing natural scenery was Gogh's favorite

【3】What can be learned from Paragraph 4?

A.Most creative people suffer from mental illness.

B.People with mental problems are creative.

C.Creativity often makes people mentally ill.

D.Mental health problems may help creative work.

28、Because of different reasons, I could neither go abroad nor attend a language course to improve my English．So, I finally d   to read books in English．I chose Irving’s novel A widow for One Year．

What was my experience like? Very challenging（有挑战性的）! At the b   , I tried to stop thinking in Chinese about what I was reading．I just kept reading i of looking up the new words in the dictionary．At first it seemed to be i to read and understand without using a dictionary, but then I began to get the meaning s   ．Finally, I was so interested in the wonderful characters and the surprising plot of the novel t   I completely forgot that I was reading the book in English.

R   this novel was very good for my English learning．I found that Irving’s way of writing was very clear and easy to reaD． This made me feel really satisfied and encouraged me to read m   other books (not only by Irving)．I discovered that when you read a book in English you will stop thinking in your mother tongue at some point．It’s just as if you were there, inside the story, among the characters who speak English in the book.

Reading Irving’s novel also enabled me to learn a large n     of new words and expressions used in different contexts．It is really a good w to improve our English.
