Hundreds of roller coasters make people excited at theme parks around the country. The first roller coaster in the United States was a train. People built it in 1800 in order to carry coal (煤) down a mountain. When it was no longer used as a coal train, it began a new life as an amusement (娱乐) ride. It went 18 miles downhill at a speed of 6 miles per hour. The entire ride lasted almost three hours. Modern coaster tracks (轨道) are measured (计量) in feet rather than miles. The rides last minutes instead of hours, but they are far more exciting. Some reach a speed of 100 miles per hour. People started building real roller coasters in the 1880s.

When Jo’s grandparents first came to Parkville, it was a quiet village. They had a small house, close to fields and hills. Parkville was near Arnwick, a city with a population of 10,000,000. People from Parkville moved to Arnwick to find jobs. However, it was expensive to live in the city centre, so the government built flats outside the centre. Soon, Parkville became part of Arnwick, and the population of Arnwick became even larger. It is very crowded, and rubbish is also a problem. Jo lives in one of those flats. But for her, going to school is a problem. The small local school in Parkville closed down five years ago, and getting to the nearest school in Arnwick takes her an hour by bus. The traffic is always bad, not to mention the air pollution. Luckily, the government is making a great effort to solve Arnwick’s problems with better public services. There will be more schools, so pupils won’t need to travel far. The government is reducing air pollution from traffic. There will also be more local hospitals to meet the needs of the increasing population. The story of Arnwick is just a story, but it describes what is happening in the real world.

There was no bathroom in it," she said. "No bathroom?" I asked in surprise. "No, it was several metres outside. Aunt Florence told us that we could use the chamber pot(便壶) at night. But it must be cleaned in the morning. Otherwise, there was a torch(手电筒) to see our way outside. There was no way I was going out there at night, torch or not torch. I decided never to eat or drink after dinner. You know, I dislike the chamber pot." I found it hard to get to sleep the first night. The sound from outside was strange. I had never heard that before.

The city also got the nickname of China’s “Silicon Valley”. In the 1990s, Shenzhen decided to make technology one of its main industries. Many companies that make electronic products, such as TVs, computers and mobile phones, have come to Shenzhen. The city is home to many large tech companies, including Huawei and Tencent. Because of its fast development, people from all over China came to Shenzhen to make their dreams come true. According to economist(经济学家) Zhang Weiying, of about 20 million people in Shenzhen, 65 percent of them were born or grew up elsewhere, but no one feels like an outsider.

She has lived here for over 60 years and has seen a lot of changes. Back in the 1960s, things were difficult. The roads were narrow (狭窄的) and there weren’t many ring roads. Families lived in small houses, and people were very close to each other. Almost all children could go to school but they did not have a lot of books to read. People could go to see a doctor, and the medicines were very cheap but there were not many good medicines back then. People kept in touch with their friends and family members far away mainly by letter or telegram (电报). China has developed rapidly since the reform and opening-up (改革开放). More and more ring roads and subways have appeared and buildings in Beijing are becoming taller and brighter. People’s living conditions have improved a lot. And there are more kinds of food and clothes to satisfy people’s needs. Children can study not only in modern schools but also on the internet. People can enjoy good medical care. What’s more, communications are becoming easier and quicker — people can use telephones, cellphones, fax machines (传真机) and the internet. Beijing has made rapid progress and it has already succeeded in hosting the 2008 Olympic Games.
