Unit 2 Work and Play 单元话题阅读理解练习 （2021秋·上海浦东新·八年级上海市实验学校校考期中）Join the Roller Coaster Club! You’re sitting in a tiny car. The car is part of a very small train that runs on a narrow track. Slowly, the little train climbs to the top of a huge hill. You’re high above the ground, so high that you can see for miles. Suddenly, you rush toward the ground at a speed that takes your breath away. You’re on your way up again, and this time you’re upside down! You go up, down, and around. You’re on a roller coaster (过山车). Some people think riding a roller coaster is really terrifying. One ride is more than enough for them, even in a lifetime. However, other people love riding roller coasters. They ride their favorite roller coaster over and over. They also like to try out new roller coaster. There’s a club for people who are very crazy at riding roller coasters. It’s called ACE. ACE is a short form for American Coaster Enthusiasts (热衷者). Steven Reagan and Kevin Lipnicky belong to ACE, and so do their families. Their family holidays often include trips to amusement parks to ride on new roller coasters. As members of ACE, the boys were among the first to ride a new roller coaster at Sea World in Texas. It’s called the Great White, which is the name of a kind of shark. Sometimes, amusement parks close the roller coaster to everyone except ACE members. “If there’s no one in line,” says Steven, “we keep our seats and ride again!” It’s not all fun for ACE members. They also have a job to do. They tell owners of new amusement parks where the old roller coasters are. The owners buy the old roller coasters and move them to new homes so that they can be fixed instead of being destroyed (毁坏). For ACE members, roller coaster riding is fun, fun, fun! People are thankful to the work they do to save different old roller coasters. 1．When a roller coaster takes you to the top, high above the ground, it will probably _________. A．stop it and get off B．climb out of the train slowly C．take away
