Alti Achenture in Africa

It was late at night, but Kevin could not sleep. His bed was inside a camping tent, and just outside the tent were the fields of Africa, filled with wild animals. His parents slept soundly in another bed across from him. He wondered how they could be so calm. What if a lion came into their tent? He was very frightened. It took a long time before Kevin finally fell asleep.

When the sun came up, he felt his mother's hand on his head. "Morning, Kcvin!" she said, "Time to wake up and go on that a safari." Before they left America, his parents had explained to him that a safari was a long drive through nature, usually in Africa. During a safari you can see lions and zebras living free, instead of cooped up (限制) in a zoo.

"What if we get close to a lion?" Kevin asked.

"Oh darling," she said. "Nothing will happen to us if we listen to our guide. "

Kevin got dressed slowly, listened to the birds singing outside and began to feel less afraid. After a brief breakfast, he got into a jeep with his parents. The driver, Jim, a kind-looking man, was also their guide.

The jeep took off along a dirt road. After a little while Kevin saw something move out of the corner of his eye. "Wait!" he said. "I see something!"

Jim stopped the car and told them all to get out. Kevin and his parents waited in the tall grass while Jim walked ahead of them and looked around. After a minute Jim raised his hands in the air. "Shhh," he said in a low voice. "It's nothing dangerous but don't speak loudly." Kevin and his parents walked up to where Jim stood, and soon Kevin saw a beautiful golden creature with dark brown spots (點(diǎn)) and a very, very long neck — a giraffe.

"Wow," said Kevin. He could not believe how close he was to the giraffe. All his fears disappeared and he began to get excited about the day to come.

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 (廢鐵).

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?
