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 grounds, 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!

However, other people love riding roller coasters. They ride their favourite 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)

V. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage(选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文)
You’re minding your own business. Suddenly, you look up to see your big brother coming towards you. He’s giggling (痴笑) from ear to ear. His arms are stretched out, fingers shaking slightly. You try to get away, but there’s no way to 1 . Before you know it, he’s tickling (抓痒逗笑) you, and you can’t stop laughing.
Most of us don’t like to be tickled. We try everything to move our way out of a tickle. Yet no matter how much we dislike being tickled, we always end up laughing.
Why do people laugh when they are tickled That’s 2 scientist Christine Harris of San Diego, California, wanted to find out. First, Harris and her friends needed to practice. They spent some time tickling each other. Then they gathered a group of students who were ready to be tickled in the name of science.
Next, Harris’s 3 observed how hard the students laughed at different TV shows. They wanted to know about that type of laughter which is different from laughter caused by tickling. Then the team tickled the student volunteers under the arms and on the toes (脚趾). As part of the research, Harris’s team even used a tickle machine with parts that 4 shaking fingers!
What were the results of this tickling research Harris’s team found that people do not laugh because tickling is funny. People simply cannot stop themselves from laughing when they are tickled. The scientists decided that ticklish laughter may be a special kind of action. This action happens 5 a person’s control or effort.
So, have all questions about tickling been answered Has Harris tickled her last toe It’s unlikely. It seems that humans are not the only living things that giggle when they are tickled. Young chimpanzees also 6 to tickle one another during their play. They, too, seem to chuckle (吃吃地笑) when they are tickled.
