| The morning for our snowmobiling (雪上汽车) adventure finally arrived, and we set off on the hourandahalf drive to the resort.A fresh powder had fallen the night before, and everything was frosted white.We couldn"t have asked for more perfect conditions.The sun sparkled (闪光) on the snow, and the trails (路线) were completely empty-not another person or snowmobile in sight.We were thrilled at being the only people for miles around...until we got going. As we drove through the deserted wilderness (荒野), my excitement became stonecold fear.I had no idea what I was afraid of, or why I was afraid, but suddenly every turn, every hill, every steep (陡 峭的) side of the mountain scared me to death.I kept picturing us crashing headlong into a tree or falling off the side of a drop. But after lunch things changed.We were the only humans who had been there since the snowfall.The peaceful place, the incredible beauty of the landscape, and the almost sacred experience of sharing a mountain with the wildlife touched my very core (核心). My mind cleared and quieted and my muscles relaxed. As we drove the last leg of the run, I began to resent being afraid to drive.Deep down, I wanted to be in charge of the thing that scared me.It made me angry that fear was keeping me from something I really wanted to do.The day was coming to an end, and the resort was only a few miles away.I knew that if I didn"t take my chance now, I would regret it. I signaled to my husband to pull over.I wanted to drive, although my heart pounded (重击). I stared off slowly and felt the wind in my face.I smiled and sp  ed up a little.I let out a "Yeehaw!" and went full out,taking my husband on the best ride of the day. We ended the day on that breathless, carefree, and I felt proud of myself-proud of overcoming my fear. 1. What is the story mainly about? A. What the author loves about snowmobiling. B.

| What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an icecream taster? Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste icecream.Just ask John Harrison, an "Official Taste Tester" for the past few years.Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a product"s quality.During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet icecream-as well as for developing over 75 fla  vors.Some people think that it would be easy to do this job, after all, you just have to like icecream, right? No, there"s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry.He points out that a dairy or foodscience degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this "cool" field. In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 icecream samples.He lets the icecream warm up to about 12?.Harrison explains, "You get more flavor from warmer icecream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating icecream soup." While the icecream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. "Tasting begins with the eyes, " he explains.He checks to see if the icecream is attractive and asks himself, "Does the product have the color expected from that flavor?" Next it"s time to taste! Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of icecream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy-working at one "cool" job. 1. What is John Harrison"s job? A. An official. B. An icecream taster. C. A chemist. D. An icecream manufacturer. 2.

Flavors of Icecream C. John Harrison"s Life D. One Cool Job | |||

Imagine a wo rld 400 years ago where children were used as chimney sweeps.The pay was low; itwas a dirty trade and there was little reward for the men who did the job and even less for children. Medway"s annual Swee  ps Festival recreates the joy and laughter enjoyed by the chimney sweeps attheir traditional holiday: the one time of the year the sweeps could leave the soot (烟灰) behind and have some fun.The sweeps" holiday was traditionally held on 1 May each year.Locally, they used to mark the occasion by staging a procession through the streets of Rochester. Their fun continued with the JackintheGreen ceremony, a sevenfoot character waken at dawn on Blue Bell Hill, Chatham.The JackintheGreen would walk with the chimney sweeps in their parade.When the Climbing Boys" Act 1868 made it illegal to employ young boys to carry out the trade, the traditional procession gradually began to fade.The final May celebration was held in the early 1900s. The modern day Rochester Sweeps Festival is a colorful mix of music, dancing and entertainment with more than 60 Morris sides and entertainers celebrating throughout the threeday festival.The festival was revived in 1981 by local businessman Gordon Newton, a keen historian.He decided it was time to bring it back and over the years he has helped develop the festival into what it is today-an excellent performance of traditional Britain. Gordon researched the Sweeps" tradition and organized a small parade, involving local Morris teams. In time, Medway Council took over organization of the festival but Gordon remained actively involved. Today he is festival producer and plays melodeon (簧风琴) for several Morris teams.Doug Hudson is the festival"s music director, a role he has held for many years.Through Gordon"s vision and hard work, Doug"s musical ability and the council"s help, the Rochester Sweeps Festival has become the largest May Day celebration of its kind in the country. 1.

| Jim suffered heart problems.In conversation he expressed little joy and it seemed that his life was drawing to a close.
