Knott’s Berry Farm is the nation’s oldest, and first, theme park and draws around five million visitors each year. Knott’s Berry Farm hardly had a very good start. Arriving in Southern California in the 1920s, the Knott Family farmed about 20 acres of land and finally started a restaurant called Mrs. Knott’ s Chicken Dinner Restaurant. Mrs. Knott’s food became well known and her husband Walter built a Ghost Town as a way of entertaining waiting customers. Today Knott’s Berry Farm has 165 rides, shows, attractions and restaurants. For more than 80 years, Knott’s Berry Farm has been entertaining families and visitors from around the world.
There are six different themed areas with rides and attractions in Knott’s Berry Farm. Fiesta Village throws attention to California’s Spanish heritage（遺產(chǎn)）. Indian Trails is similar to Fiesta Village but with an accent on Native American legends, crafts, music and dancing. The heart and soul of Knott’s, Ghost Town is an 1880s California Boom Town with cowboys, gunfights, and a real steam train. The Boardwalk makes people think of Southern California beach. Wild Water Wilderness is an 1800s-style park with water rapids and a magical journey into Native North America. For Peanuts fans, Camp Snoopy is a six-acre children’s wonderland with 30 rides and attractions. Knott’s Berry Farm is in Buena Vista, Orange County, California. It is about half an hour from downtown Los Angeles and 10 minutes from Disneyland. Knott’s Berry Farm is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the week. The park is open on Saturdays from 10 a. m. to 10 p.m. and from 10 a. m. to 7 p.m. on Sundays. During the summer months, the park is open later. The theme park is closed on Christmas Day.

Sure，you’ve watched extreme pet sports on Animal Planet. But did you know that there’s a whole world of athletic activities for dogs right in our area?
There are some reasons for considering taking part in such activities. Such sports strengthen the close feelings between dog and owner，and also benefit your pup’s body and mind.“ Dogs that are tied with chains often have behavioral problems，” says Lee Morgan. “They love to go out and play as much as we do.”
Of course，many of these sports require some amount of practice，and some breeds are simply better at certain activities than others .But all dogs can participate in the following games.
Frisbee Dogs（投擲游戲用的）飛盤
This sport requires you to throw as many Frisbees as your dog can catch in a 60­second time period. The further out your dog catches the Frisbee，the more points you rack up. Extra points are awarded if your pet catches the Frisbee while it’s still in the air. Mid Atlantic Disc Dogs (MAD­Dogs) hosts local competitions and offers informal instruction in local parks or even in people’s backyards.
Flyball Dogs
The sport has been around since 1970s.Flyball is a relay race with four dogs in a team. Each must jump four hurdles (跨欄) spaced with 10 feet apart and then land on a spring­loaded box that shoots out a tennis ball. The dog must then catch the ball and run back over the four hurdles. Once that’s done，the next dog can go. The first team that successfully completes the course wins the competition. There are a number of local teams，including 4 Dog Night，which holds classes for beginners and intermediate players and is always looking for new team members. The Beltway Bandits is another team，based in Leesburg，that hosts private classes and competitions.
小題1:Dogs that are always tied with chains often have behavioral problems because ________.
A．there are no close feelings between dog and owner
B．many of them lack enough sports or exercises
C．there are no local athletic activities or sports for dogs
D．dogs love to go out and play as much as human beings
小題2:We can infer that this passage is ________.
A．probably taken from a travelling diary
B．a(chǎn)n ad for pet sports training centre
C．from a handbook for the methods of raising pets
D．a(chǎn) news report about animal sports games
小題3:The second paragraph mainly talks about ________.
A．how to join in such sports activities
B．what kinds of pets can take part in sports
C．the benefits sports activities can provide
D．the disadvantages of pets joining in sports activities
小題4:From Flyball Dogs，we know that ________.
A．it is a relay race with four hurdles done by four dogs in a team
B．a(chǎn) long race with four hurdles spaced 10 feet apart by a dog
C．the dog which can catch the ball and run back over the four hurdles wins
D．the 4 Dog Night is the best local team which has won many games
