B Larry Chickola is the vice president and chief corporate engineer of Six Flags theme parks. He has loved theme parks since childhood. When he was young, he often visited the Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio. There, he rode the Corkscrew roller coaster, which became one of his favourite experiences. This early interest inspired his dream of becoming an engineer. Larry studied mechanical engineering in college but didn't realise he could design roller coasters as a career. Later, a friend told him about a job opportunity at Six Flags. This excited him, and he decided to become a roller-coaster engineer. Today, he is responsible for engineering work at Six Flags parks worldwide. He oversees the design and construction of rides, including over1,000 rides in North America alone, with 157 of them being roller coasters. One of Larry's current projects is Falcon's Flight, the tallest, fastest, and longest roller coaster ever built. It is constructed at Six Flags in Saudi Arabia. Larry's job requires creativity and problem-solving skills. For example, he once worked with engineers to make rides more accessible for people with disabilities, showing his care for inclusivity. Larry often visits the Six Flags Great Adventure park inJackson Township, New Jersey, where his office is located. He watches visitors understand what makes rides enjoyable. He believes creating fun rides is harder than just making them tall or fast. “If I want a ride to be tall, I can make it tall. But figuring out how to make it fun is the real challenge,” he says. Among the rides he has designed, Larry is especially proud of the Iron Rattler in San Antonio, Texas. This roller coaster takes riders past beautiful rock walls before dropping almost straight down. Larry feels happy knowing his designs bring daily excitement to visitors. His journey from a roller coaster-loving child to a chief engineer proves that passion and hard work can turn dreams into reality. 31. What inspired Larry's dream of becoming an engineer? A. Visiting Six Flags theme parks. B. Riding the Corkscrew roller coaster. C. Designing the Iron Rattler. D. Studying problem-solving skills. 32. What does the word “This” refer to in the second paragraph? A. Studying mechanical engineering. B. A friend telling him about a job at Six Flags. C. Designing roller coasters as a career. D. Overseeing over 1,000 rides in North America. 33. What does Larry think is the hardest part of designing a ride? A. Making it very tall. B. Using creative technology. C. Solving engineering problems. D. Making it fun for visitors. 34. Which two words best describe Larry Chickola’ s personality based on the passage? A. Strict and humorous. B. Patient and understanding. C. Creative and caring. D.
