Your seat is moving higher, giving you a bird's eye view of Beijing when, all of a sudden, you are thrown 35 metres back down to earth. While the breathtak-ing journey only takes two or three seconds, you scream with excitement as the blood rushes to your head...

This thrilling (刺激的) experience comes much cheaper than a plane ticket to Disney World. The Mega Drop (超級跳樓機) ride is just one of attractions at the World Carnival (環(huán)球嘉年華), which will be in Beijing from June 22 to August 26.

A girl enjoys last year's World Carnival in Shanghai.

Covering 50,000 square metres, the world's largest mobile amusement park includes more than 150 entertainment programs.

The Dutch company World Carnival arrived in Shanghai last June, making as much as 100 million yuan from 1.3 million visitors. It is one of several companies looking to establish themselves in China and use the world's fastest growing market to challenge Disney.

But they need to move quickly.

Already well-known in China, Disney plans to open a theme park in Hong Kong in 2005 and another in Shanghai by 2010.

However, alongside Mega Drop, there is G-Force (地球引力), Wild Mouse (瘋狂老鼠) and Top Buzz (極速大風車). With all these sharp turns and steep drops on offer, World Carnival thinks it can compete.

"I am very proud that I brought World Carnival to Beijing," said company president Hans Lodders. "I think it can serve as part of the 2008 Olympic celebrations."

While World Carnival says that "everyone from the ages of 6 to 90 can find his or her favorite games," you need to be careful.

71. The above text probably is about ________ .

A. G-Force and Wild Mouse B. Top Buzz at Disney World

C. World Carnival in Hong Kong D. The Mega Drop ride

72. The place where the activity will take place most probably is ________ .

A. in British B. in BeijingC. in Hong Kong D. in America

73. The purpose that many amusement companies will be set up in China is ________ according to the passage.

A. to challenge Disney B. to develop stock market

C. to attract more companies D. to open theme parks

74. How do you guess the writer feel according to the text?

A. Happy. B. Curious. C. Honest. D. Patient.

75. What advice does the writer give us according to the text?

A. We must be peaceful. B. We must be careful.

C. We must be creative. D. We must be imaginative.

Do you like sitting on the edge of your seat? How about falling off it laughing? If so, "Rush Hour 1" is the perfect movie for you. Although it didn’t get the best reviews, it is perfect for those who like a good comedy.

Just as in the first "Rush Hour," Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) and LAPD Detective James Carter (Chris Tucker) are partners. This time, they are on vacation in China and Carter is looking for a good time, but they are on the job again when a bombing at the American Embassy kills two customs agents. Lee and Carter go to look for a suspect named Ricky Tan. For Lee this is a serious case because Tan killed his father. Will Carter and Lee be able to capture Tan?

Another reason to see this movie perhaps is for the thrilling action, which includes karate fights with Jackie Chan. One of my favorite scenes shows Carter and Lee in a massage parlor (店堂) when everything goes crazy.

"Rush Hour 2" is, of course, really funny with Chris Tucker in the lead role. Chan and Tucker have many clever jokes and remarks. Some of the jokes aren’t enjoyed by the critics, but most will find them entertaining.

With no doubt, the movie was great. I was filled with anxiety about what was going to happen next. Many critics say that sequels (續(xù)集) are not as good as the original but this one is great. I especially enjoyed it because the special effects are minimal so everything looks as though it actually happened. The lighting effect is great as well as the sound.

So, if you are looking for a great action movie that leaves you at the edge of your seat and makes you laugh quite a bit, you should rush to see “Rush Hour 2.”

1.According to the author, "Rush Hour 2" is a perfect movie particularly ______.

A．full of special effects

B．with the best actors

C．full of humors

D．with great lights

2.In "Rush Hour 2”, the two leading roles are on duty again because ______.

A．their vocation in China is limited to a short term

B．inspector Lee doesn’t want to have a good time

C．the American Embassy in China was attacked

D．a(chǎn) suspect named Ricky Tan killed Lee’s father

3.In Rush Hour series, the following are usually included EXCEPT _____.

A．thrilling actions                         B．maximal special effects

C．karate fights                           D．clever jokes and remarks

4.If "Rush Hour 3" is shot, what kind of the movie will it be? ______.

A．Stage tragedy                          B．Action movie

C．Soap opera                            D．Situational comedy
