Ride of Your Life

Are you a big fan of theme parks and scary rides？Well，the world's longest hybrid(混合動(dòng)力的)roller coaster(過(guò)山車)is at the popular theme park Six Flags Magic Mountain in California，US.

Its name is Twisted Colossus. It is made out of steel(鋼)and wood. The coaster is 1，520 meters long and has a lot of ups and downs. This is the ride: you begin by sitting in one of the carts(車廂)．After you begin，you get to one loop(彎曲部分)，and the cart turns upside down for a few seconds！Hopefully you've got nothing in your pockets.

Then it's on to the part of the ride known as the High Five. This is when two trains come so close that you could give a high five to someone on the other train！And it's not over yet；there are still two 116 ?foot (about 35m) large drops(下落)waiting for you！This is as high as a 12-?story building.

The ride lasts for just under four minutes. Do you want to have a ride?

科目：初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：吉林省2018-2019學(xué)年八年級(jí)下學(xué)期期末英語(yǔ)試卷 題型：閱讀判斷

When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and go to the city. We lived on a farm and, in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I finished school, I moved to the capital（首都）. However, I soon discovered that city life had its problems, too.

One big problem in cities is money---it costs（花費(fèi)） so much, not including food and housing. Another problem is pollution. I have suffered from asthma (患有哮喘) since I was five. So when the air is so bad, I am afraid to go outside. As for travelling round, I hardly ever drive a car because of the heavy traffic. Many people choose to go by bike, but that can be quite dangerous.

Of course there is something good in cities, too. You can find a lot to do in the city, both in culture and entertainment（娛樂(lè)）. Also, there are different kinds of wonderful jobs and people can make more money. Finally, if you like shopping, the stores are very surprising---and, what is more, they are often only a short walk away.

Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are teenagers or in your twenties. However, as you get older, and especially when you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem better. I certainly hope to move back there soon.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，判斷句子正（T）、誤（F）。

1.The writer was always thinking about running away from the school.

2.In the passage, the writer tries to describe his life in the countryside.

3.The writer suffers from asthma because he moved to the city.

4.The writer explains three advantages（優(yōu)點(diǎn)） of the city life.

5.From the passage we know that the writer lives in the city now.
