Many children enjoy riding roller coasters (过山车) because they like the exciting feelings a lot. They also like The Pirate Ship, Drop Tower, and Haunted House. But roller coasters are always the most popular for them in the park.
The first modern steel roller coaster is the Matterhorn Bobsleds at Disneyland. It opened in 1959. The tallest roller coaster in the world is KingdaKa, in New Jersey, the USA. It is 456 feet (英尺) high. The world's longest roller coaster is Steel Dragon 2000. It is in Japan. The fastest roller coaster is in Abu Dhabi. Its name is Formula Rossa, and it can reach 149 miles per hour.
When we talk about roller coasters, safety (安全) is the most important thing we should think about. Modern roller coasters have built-in safety systems. Besides this, riders must do their best to follow all the safety rules so that we can ride roller coasters to get joy.

Do you think stones (石头) can move by themselves? There are some famous moving stones in Death Valley, the US. Many of the stones are small but a few of them are very big. Some of the big stones are as big as a man. The biggest stone weighs about 350 kg. The stones only move at night. Nobody has ever seen them moving, but now scientists (科学家) know the answer to the question. The answer is the wind. When the wind comes from the west, the stones move to the east. When the wind is from the south, they always move to the north. But how can the wind move a very heavy stone?
Death Valley is one of the hottest place in the world, but it can be very cold at night. Sometimes, there are even bad storms (暴风雨) at night. Rain falls, and the wind is strong and cold. The water on the ground turns into ice easily. Then the strong wind can move the stones along the ground. In the morning, the sun comes up and dries (使……变干) the ground. So people can find them move from one place to another in the daytime.

“Travelling by subway (地铁) is much faster. It not only takes me a few minutes to get to my office, but also I don't worry about traffic jam.” a passenger says. A lot of people like taking the subway. It is a kind of popular way and more convenient in our daily life. It has three advantages (优点). First, it's fast. The subway can run about 80 kilometres in an hour. It's much faster than riding a bike or taking a bus. Second, it's accurate. It can help you get somewhere on time. Don't worry about the weather. It can arrive on time even if it is raining or snowing. During rush hour (交通高峰期), there is a subway every five minutes. You can't wait too long. Finally, it is comfortable. It is very comfortable for passengers to take the subway. You can find place to sit or stand here and there. They don't feel cold in winter or hot in summer because of the air-conditioners (空调). It can carry many people. I think most of people all like it. You will have a good time to take the subway.
