A U.S. lecturer has broken his world record in nonstop roller-coaster riding after a hair-raising 147-hour marathon in Germany, amusement park officials said.
Richard Rodriguez, a 43-year-old from Chicago, boarded the “Expedition G-Force” attraction at the Holiday Park in western Germany last Friday and left the ride Wednesday.
On Sunday, Rodriguez broke the existing world record, set by two Japanese who entered the Guinness Book of World Records after a whiplash—inducing 35.5 hour adventure in 2002.
He said before starting that his main goal was to beat the Guinness record.
“Everything’s a milestone—one week or two. I’ll ride as long as I can,” he said.
The G-Force roller-coaster travels hair-pin turns at speeds of up to 120kph, climbing slopes of 62 meters before plunging down the track back to earth.
According to Guinness rules, a record hopeful must ride non-stop, taking only 15-minute breaks every eight hours.
Rodriguez moved into a different train that takes smaller loops (回车道) each night to “sleep”. His car was equipped with a special toilet behind a curtain.
56. The underlined word “hair-raising” probably means .
A. hair-growing B. causing terror
C. hairless D. causing the hair to grow
57. Richard Rodriguez realized his dream of beating the record of without stop as long as possible.
A. riding a roller-coaster that takes hair-pin turns in a park
B. riding a car along a coast
C. traveling in a train across a coast line
D. traveling in his car around a park
58. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage ?
A. Rodriguez, a mid-aged American, broke a world record in Germany.
B. Two Japanese set the former Guinness record for about one and a half days non-stop riding.
C. Guinness rules permit no more than a quarter of an hour rests every eighth hour in non-stop riding for a Guinness record breaker.
D. Rodriguez traveled in the day while he slept at night during the 147-hour marathon riding.
59. Which of the following is the best title of the passage ?

Tears are nature’s way making us feel more comfortable. When our eyes are made uncomfortable by some small pieces of pollution, or when we are cutting onions, or when we are exhausted and “red-eyed” from overwork and late hours, tears form in our eyes to clean and refresh them.
Tears are also a sign of strong emotion. We cry when we are sad and we cry when we are happy.
And tears seem to be uniquely human. We know that animals also experience emotion-fear, pleasure, loneliness—but they do not shed (流) tears. From this we can conclude that tears are closely related to the emotional and biological make-up of the human species.
Biologically speaking, tears are actually drops of saline fluid, which is a little bit salty, produced by a gland (腺) in the body. Because salt is an important component, tears may actually constitute the most conclusive evidence that the human animal is the end product of a long evolutionary process that began in the sea.
And it is clear, that, in addition to the emotional benefits, the shedding of tears has a specific biological function as well. Through tears, we can eliminate from our body certain chemicals which build up in response to stress and create a chemical imbalance in the body. Crying actually makes us feel better by correcting that imbalance and making us feel good again. And thus the emotional and the biological functions of tears merge (合并) into one and make us even more “human” than we would otherwise be.
61. According to the passage, human beings may have originated in .
A. the sea B. the salt C. chemicals D. animals
62. Which of the following is NOT a function of tears ?
A. Biological. B. Emotional. C. Political. D. Chemical.
63. According to the article, which of the following is unique to human being ?
A. The feeling of loneliness. B. The state of feeling good.
C. The ability to shed tears. D. The feeling of fear.
64. The underlined word “eliminate” probably means .
A. add B. produce C. replace D. remove
65. Which of the following the best title of the passage ?
A. Tears are a sign of strong emotion B. Tears make us feel more comfortable
C. Tears are uniquely human D. Tears’s biological function

In around 500 AD there was a tribe called Bunlap living near the Pacific Ocean. A woman from the Tu Family climbed up a high cacao tree to escape her husband who ill-treated her. She tied a vine which stretches to her foot tightly. Wanting to threaten her husband, she said she would jump from the tree if he went on abusing her. The husband also climbed up the tree and foolishly said he would jump with her. Thereupon the tender vine saved the woman, but her cruel husband died.
In honor of the brave woman, the tribe made it their custom to continue this activity in which some vine was tied to the ankle and they jumped from high places. They built a high tower of 20 to 30 meter on a hill and tied vines to it. The young men would jump from the top to demonstrate their maturity. They also prayed for peace, safety and a bumper harvest for their tribe.
On April 1, 1979 an adventure club from Oxford University jumped from Clifton Bridge using a flexible string called a bungee. The bridge is some 74.7 meters high. Bungee jumping then became fashionable in America, Europe and the Pacific Ocean areas.
