Are you looking for something to do? You might like to try one of these four experience.

Crocodile watching

Do you fancy getting up close to some of the most terrifying animals on earth? Crocosaurus Cove, in Darwin (Australia) has the“Cage of Death”. It’s an enclosure that’s lowered into a pool. This gives you a 360 degree view of a crocodile as it’s being fed. The cable broke once and the cage sank to the bottom, but they’ve fixed it since then.

Edge walk

How about walking along the edge of a building several hundred meters up in the air? If that sounds like fun, head off to the CN Tower in Toronto( Ontario, Canada. Built in 1976, the tower is 553.33 meters tall.

The Edge Walk consists of a 20-30 minute stroll along a 1.5 meter wide platform that runs around the tower’s restaurant roof. During the walk, you’re encouraged to lean forwards as you look over Toronto’s skyline.

Plastic ball rolling

Do you fancy rolling down a hill in a plastic ball?

Plastic ball rolling is popular as over the world, but the place to give it a go in Rotorua（New Zealand). Brother David and Andrew Akers came up with the idea in 1994. A typical orb （球）is about 3 meters in diameter, with an inner orb size of about 2 meters. There’s no brake or steering mechanism, but the inner layer of the plastic ball helps absorb the shock.

Volcano bungee jumping

If you’re looking for the adventure of a lifetime, how about going bungee jumping off a helicopter into the crater of a live volcano? As part of the jumping, a helicopter ride takes you to the Villarrica volcano, one of the most active in Chile. Once you’re at the drop zone, you leap off the helicopter and fall into the volcano. Finally, you enjoy the ride back to the airports flying at 130kph.

B

We know the famous ones---the Thomas Edisons and the Alexander Graham Bells---but what about the less famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper (雨刮器）? Aren’t we supposed to know who they are?

Joan Mclean think so, In fact, Mclean, a professor physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so strongly about this matter that she’s developed a course on the topic, In addition to learning “who” invented “what”,however, Mclean also likes her students to learn the answers to the “why” and “how”questions. According to Mclean, “When students learn the answers to these question, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.”

Her students agree. One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of Mclean statement. “If I had not heard the story of the windshield wiper’s invention,”said Tommy Lee, a senior physics major, “ I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive .” Lee is currently negotiating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.

So, just what is the story behind g he windshield wiper? Well, Marry Anderson same up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City .The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard a streetcar, Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there could＇t be a built-in device for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started drafting out solutions, One of her ideas, a lever(操作杆) on the inside of a vehicle would control an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiper.

Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations. It＇s hard to imagine driving without Garrett A. Morgan＇s traffic light. It＇s equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J. Blodgett’s innovation that makes glass invisible. Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?

24. By mentioning “traffic light” and “windshield wiper”, the author indicates that countless inventions are

A. beneficial, because their inventors are famous

B. beneficial, though their inventors are famous

C. not useful, because their inventors are less famous

D. not useful though their inventors are famous

25.Professor Joan Mclean’s course aims to

A. add color and variety to students’ campus life

B. inform students of the windshield wiper’s inventing

C. carry out the requirements by Mountain University

D. prepare students to try their own invention

26. Tommy Lee’s invention of the unbreakable umbrella was

A. not eventually accepted by the umbrella producer

B. inspired by the story behind the windshield wiper

C. due to his dream of being caught in a rainstorm

D. not related to Professor Joan McLean’s lectures

27. Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?

A. How to Help Students to Sell Their inventions to Producers?

B. How to Design a Built-in Device for Cleaning the Window

C. Shouldn’t We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper?

D. Shouldn’t We Develop Invention Courses in Universities?

C

In a country that defines itself by ideals, not by shared blood, who should be allowed to come work and live here? In the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks these questions have never seemed more pressing.

On Dec.11, 2001, as part to effort to increase homeland security, federal and local authorities in 14 states staged “Operation Safe Travel”-raids on airports to arrest employees with false identification In Salt Lake City there were 69 arrests .But those captured were anything but terrorists, most of them illegal immigrants from Central or South America Authorities said the undocumented workers’ illegal status made them open to blackmail by terrorists.

Many immigrants in Salt Lake City were angered by the arrests and said they were being treated like disposable goods.

Mayor Anderson said those feelings were justified to a certain extent. “We're saying we want you to work in these places, we're going to
