Just what is abut rller casters? It seems we just can’t get enugh f them. This week we take a lk at sme f the tp amusement parks and the rller casters that have helped make them famus.
Hliday Wrld
It is a family park in the sense that resists the exciting atmsphere f its cmpetitrs and instead ffers a mre relaxing and friendly experience. Rare in that it is privately wned and it has many features that ther parks ften can’t match. There is lts f entertainment fr yungsters, s parents appreciate the park’s family-friendly plicy f free entry t the water park, reasnable fd prices and unlimited sft drinks free f charge.
Lake Cmpunce
Lake Cmpunce, being ne f America’s mre traditinal parks, is a rare find indeed. As the ldest cntinuusly perating amusement park in the US, it has been a ppular family spt since 1846. Like many ld-time parks, it fell n hard times and was in danger f being clsed. Luckily, in 1977, a well-knwn cmpany came t its rescue with huge infusins (注入) f cash. The transfrmed park with its new rides is attracting many new fans.
Kntt’s Berry Farm
As ne f America’s favurite theme parks, Kntt’s has smething fr everyne. Fr thse seeking a breathtaking rush, try the rller caster, Ghst Rider r the Xceleratr. Ghst Rider is the single largest attractin in amusement park histry and ne f the lngest and tallest wden rller casters in the wrld. If yu are after smething a little less exciting, g t Camp Snpy r visit the heart f Kntt’s, Ghst Twn, fr a glance (一瞥) f life in the Wild West f the 1880s. With its cwbys, carriages, steam trains and histric buildings — many transprted frm mining twns — Ghst Twn will let yu relive a piece f the past.
Islands f Adventure
In the style f Walt Disney Wrld, Islands f Adventure (IOA) is divided int themed “lands”. Unlike the sugar-cated Magic Kingdm, hwever, IOA features attractins guaranteed (保证) t set the heart racing. Its rller casters are state-f-the-art fun. While the Spiderman is fantastic, yu haven’t truly lived until yu’ve experienced The Incredible Hulk’s wild and unique uphill launch. The effect is like being trapped inside an airplane that’s flying ut f cntrl.

I started playing ftball when I was 7 r 8 years ld after my brthers had agreed t let their little sister jin in their games. I’m frm a very small twn and at that time n ther girls played ftball in my twn. Peple said ftball wasn’t fr wmen and my family shuldn’t let me play. They als said I wuldn’t make it, and that I wasn’t gd enugh.
As a child, I didn’t really understand why peple were s against me playing when I culd play it well! I fught back by shwing my talent (天赋) n the streets.

Every win is imprtant fr me, frm the time when I was playing in amateur (业余的) teams amng the bys t the first win as part f the Brazilian natinal team, and nw.

Sprt changed my life cmpletely. It gave me the pprtunity (机会) t help my family, meet ther peple, see ther cuntries and experience ther cultures. Sprt is a tl fr empwering girls, because it gives yu the pprtunity t d what yu want and learn t respect the differences between peple.
Fr me, it’s a great hnr t be a UN Wmen Gdwill Ambassadr (亲善大使). Tday, I am here t use my stry t inspire many mre girls and wmen and t create pprtunities s that next generatin desn’t have t g thrugh what I did.

“Then wuld yu invest shrt-term r lng-term?” asks Jennifer Varga, a teacher at Memrial Middle Schl in New Jersey.
Persnal-finance curses targeted at pupils are being ppularized acrss America, prmted by rules requiring such instructin. Since 2020, 17 states have adpted laws that make taking a financial curse necessary fr cmpleting high schl, bringing the ttal up t 25. That figure will prbably grw.
Pupils in these classes learn nt nly hw t save their earnings in rder t have smething t invest in the first place, but simple ecnmic prblems. Curses cver cmparisn shpping and the basics f hw t prperly bank, budget, handle credit and pay fr cllege. Yung peple badly need these curses.
Few teenagers scre highly n financial knwledge assessments. Are persnal-finance curses the answer? Fr a lng time, the studies said n. Many analyses, including ne cited ver 2,500 times, claimed that financial curses were f n avail. The analyses made intuitive (直觉的) sense, as many teenagers have yet t wrk r manage a husehld. But mre recent findings have shwn an ppsite picture. Research has gtten better and the curses themselves have als imprved. Studies that use the gld standard f investigatin have fund the curses are wrking well and useful in imprving financial knwledge and behaviur.
The newest survey cnducted in 33 cuntries fund peple wh take these curses learn the cntent and budget better. And pupils wh take persnal-finance curses brrw less mney. If they d brrw fr cllege, they chse lw-cst ptins.

Urban agriculture, the practice f farming within the limits f a city, is becming increasingly ppular wrldwide and is cnsidered a way t make cities and urban fd systems mre sustainable. Despite strng evidence f the scial and nutritinal benefits f urban agriculture, its carbn ftprint remains understudied.
Mst previusly published studies have fcused n high-tech, energy-intensive frms f urban agriculture —such as vertical (垂直的) farms and rftp greenhuses. The new study aimed t fill sme f the knwledge gaps by cmparing the carbn ftprints f fd prduced at lw-tech urban agriculture sites t cnventinal crps.
The researchers calculated the greenhuse gas emissins (排放) assciated with n-farm materials and activities ver the lifetime f the farm. The emissins, expressed in kilgrams f carbn dixide equivalents per serving f fd, were then cmpared t fds raised by cnventinal methds.
Farmers and gardeners at urban agriculture sites acrss the wrld were emplyed t use daily diary entries t take dwn inputs—the materials used t cnstruct farms and cultivate crps—and harvests frm their fd-grwing sites thrughut the 2019 seasn.
“By assessing actual inputs and utputs n urban agriculture sites, we were able t determine climate change impacts t each serving f prduce,” says study c-lead authr Benjamin Gldstein, assistant prfessr in the Schl fr Envirnment and Sustainability. On average, fd prduced thrugh urban agriculture released 0.42 kilgrams f carbn dixide equivalents per serving, six times higher than the 0.07 kg CO2e per serving f cnventinally grw n prduce.
It’s als fund that mst f the climate impacts at urban farms are driven by the infrastructure (基础设施), such as the raised beds in which fd is grwn, r pathways between plts. “These farms typically nly perate fr a few years, s the greenhuse gases used t prduce thse materials are nt used effectively. Cnventinal agriculture, instead, is very efficient and hard t cmpete with”, Gldstein says. Fr example, cnventinal farms ften grw a single crp with the help f pesticides and fertilizers, resulting in larger harvests and a reduced carbn ftprint when cmpared t urban farms, he says.
12. What is a benefit f urban agriculture?
A. Sustainable fd supply.B. High fd utput.
C. Effective energy cnservatin.D. Lw carbn ftprint.
13. Hw is the research data cllected?
A. By accessing nline database.B. By examining previus studies.
C. By cnducting persnal interviews.D. By recrding infrmatin every day.
14. What culd be dne t reduce carbn ftprint accrding t Gldstein?
A. Increase varieties f crps.B. Extend infrastructure lifetimes.
C. Prmte rftp greenhuses.D. Use mdern agriculture facilities.
15. What is the passage mainly abut?
A. The benefits f traditinal crps.B. The ppularity f urban agriculture.
C. The strategies t fight glbal warming.D. The carbn ftprint f urban farm prduce.

Cach Davis std beside her. “Sarah, can yu run the anchr leg (最后一棒) tmrrw? It’s the mst imprtant jb, but yu are sick.” The anchr leg runner finishes the race, and Sarah was their fastest runner.
