John Smith is an old porter. He works at the railway station. Every day he is busy carrying heavy things for passengers（乘客）. He is kind to everyone and always ready to help others.

One morning, John stood in the station. A train was coming. He was waiting for it. Just then he saw a man running in the station with a big bag in his hand.

“No train is starting. Why is he in such a hurry?” the old man thought to himself.

John went up to the man and asked, “May I help you?”

As soon as the man saw the old porter, he stopped running.

“Can I catch the 10:35 train to London?” the man asked. He looked worried.

John looked at him for a few seconds and said, “Well, sir. I’d like to help you, but I can’t answer your question because I don’t know how fast you can run.” Then he continued, “The 10:35 train to London left five minutes ago. Can you run fast enough to catch it?”

Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventures ----those who have climbed the highest mountains, traveled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who look for an immediate excitement from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.

I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon) 200 metres above the ground with an elastic (有彈性的) rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometres an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that about 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities which most people would say are as risky as bungee jumping include jumping from tall building and diving into the sea from the top of high cliff.（懸崖）

Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was a continuous battle for survival.(生存).

Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in comparatively safe conditions; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping.

1.A best title for the text is ____.

A. Dangerous sports: what and why

B. The boredom of modern life

C. Bungee jumping: Is it really dangerous?

D. The need for excitement

2.More and more people today ____.

A. are trying activities such as bungee jumping

B. are climbing the highest mountains

C. are coming close to death in sports

D. are looking for adventures such as traveling into unknown places

3.In bungee jumping, you ____.

A. jump as high as you can

B. slide down a rope to the ground

C. attach(系) yourself to a rope and fall to the ground

D. fall towards the ground without a rope

4.People probably take part in dangerous sports nowadays because _____.

A. they have a lot of free time

B. they can go to hospital if they are injured

C. their life is short of excitement

D. they no longer need to hunt for food

5.The writer of the text has a ____ attitude towards dangerous sports.

A. Positive(肯定的) B. negative(否定的) C. neutral(中立的) D. nervous(緊張的)

Dear Mrs. Smith，

I was a student of yours in Grade Six， and I hope you still remember me. I'm writing this letter because I want to let you know that the school year with you was important and special to me. It made a big contribution (貢獻) to my life.

I know I was very quiet in your class， and you never said much to me. But you did something that made a big difference in my life. You see， all through my beginning five years in school， I hated to read. Books were just words that had very little to do with me， and I was bored by them. I'll never forget the first day of Grade Six when you took out a thick book and began to read the story to our class. Your voice seemed to change with the people in the story， and you drew pictures in my mind as you read aloud. Since that day， I couldn't wait until after lunch when you would read to the class. You read us all kinds of wonderful books.

During the summer after my year in your class， I missed hearing the stories you would read. So one day I picked up a book and read it all on my own. I found out that could make the words interesting too. Now， I love to read! Thank you for opening the world of books for me.

Yours，

Linda
