We meet our instructor and spend the first 20 minutes watching the wind cycles. I go through my pre-flight steps and turn on my radio. At last, I take a step and feel the ground under me fall away. I feel the pressure of my weight on the canopy (伞衣). After 15 minutes of playing with the wind, my father radios me from the place where he is about to take off. “How is the wind?” “Perfect!” I say. Dad takes off behind me. I have done almost 100 flights and yet every flight amazes me just as much or even more than my first. I love the unpredictability of each flight. Every flight is different. After 15 minutes, I decide to land.Now, Im over a rice field. It is a much smaller landing than most landing zones but its possible. Out of nowhere, I feel my canopy become unstable (不稳定的). It loses pressure and falls directly in front of me. I am falling. I have butterflies in my stomach. I pull my brake line, in the hope that my wing will get pressure again but it doesnt. I look towards my dad and see that he is also in trouble. Its as if we were inside a washing machine being thrown up and down. I wont make it to the landing zone in front of me. To my right is a narrow stream with hardly any water in it. I make my decision: the narrow stream is my best chance of landing safely. As I touch down, I check on my dad and am glad to hear that he is fine. Local villagers come to check on me but, surprisingly, I am uninjured.This is one of those times when we are reminded that no preparation can prevent Mother Nature from surprising us. 24.

What does the attraction of paragliding lie in the authors eyes?A. The pleasant wind. B. The success of each flight.C. The excitement of landing. D. The uncertainty of each flight. 26. What kind of feeling does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 probably show?A. Nervousness. B. Happiness. C. Anger. D. Luck.27. What happens in the process of the authors landing?A. She hurts herself. B. She asks her dad for help.C. She sees a washing machine below. D. She changes her mind about the landing site.CIts early morning, and Katie Smith hears a rooster crowing (报晓). Its time to get up and start working. She and her husband, Chris Cashen, start the day early. They own and run the Farm at Millers Crossing, in Hudson, New York.With the help of 10 workers and, sometimes, the Cashen kidsLael, 12, Connelly, 10, AnneMae, 8, and Christopher John, 6Smith and Cashen harvest (收割) crops during much of the year. They grow vegetables and other plants. They also raise and care for some animals.Because the Farm at Millers Crossing grows different kinds of crops, Cashen says the biggest challenge is timing. Several times a year, workers prepare the soil and plant crops. At other times, they transfer (转移) plants from the greenhouse into the fields. The farmers store the fall vegetables in coolers and sell them throughout the winter.Cashen and Smith grow their crops without the use of chemicals. When crops are ready to be harvested, workers pick them daily, wash them, and put them in boxes. In June, they work up to 70 hours a week. As fall nears, workers try to finish the daily harvesting while there is still daylight. The crops are sold through programs that provide buyers with fresh produce weekly.Living on a farm has itsperks. The Cashen kids swim in a river from which the crops get their water. They ride their bikes in wide-open spaces. When harvesting tomatoes, they sometimes have exciting tomato fights. They have a big family with which to share their adventures.Everyone takes part in the business. The kids feed the horses. The boys care for the pigs. Lael says she likes transferring plants and selling produce. “Its fun and really busy,” says Lael, “but its just a part of life.”28. What can we learn about the Cashen family?A. They look needy. B.
