I can proudly say that last year I broke the record for the oldest person in the world to ride a roller coaster.I'm 105，but I feel younger.Even the doctor agrees I'm in good condition.I'm a bit deaf and my legs feel weak，but they are the only issue.
   I rode the Twistosaurus at Flamingo Land，which spins you round quite fast.I didn't choose to go on that.I'd have preferred a really fast one that went upside down.But I was told I couldn't ride something like that，because it would affect my blood pressure and I might have some danger.
   I wasn't nervous—I don't get frightened of anything.I was securely fastened，so I knew I wouldn't fall out!The roller coaster ride went on for three or four minutes，and it couldn't be a better experience.And I raised a lot of money for the Derbyshire，Leicestershire &Rutland Air Ambulance fund，which was fantastic.
   People were saying I'd got a place in the Guinness World Records.Later，someone came to present me with the certificate.I had it on the wall in my living room，with another one I got a year earlier.
   My record-breaking ways really began a couple of years ago，with the ice bucket challenge.It turned out that I was probably the oldest person in the world to do it，and the video was very popular.After that，I started to think about what else I could do to raise money for different charities.
   I'm not sure if anyone admires all the fun I'm having.They just say I'm daft and that's about it.But I've had many good days and many exciting times.I've had a really good life.I don't think I've wasted any of it.

  • 3．At 1，345 meters above sea level，Ben Nevis is definitely not the world's most difficult mountain to climb.But things get considerably tricky if instead of hiking shoes you put on a pair of 5-inch high heels，especially if you're a guy.One English teenager recently proved that it was not impossible.
       Ben Conway，a 19-year-old art student from London，recently took up the challenge as a way to stand out in an application for a scholarship for the School of Communication Arts in Brixton.He started his unusual high-heel climb at 8 a.m.，on June 27，and was joined by Callum MacKenzie Allen，a friend from his art foundation year，who videotaped the whole thing for a two-minute video that served as his application project.The whole climb took five hours and wasn't the smoothest experience.
       Halfway up Ben Navis，one of his shoes broke，so he had to tape the shoes to his feet to make sure they stayed on.The weather didn't make it easy for him either，as he claimed that it rained pretty much the whole time，and he had to go against 40 to 50 miles an hour winds.Due to these difficult conditions，Ben and his friend had to turn back after reaching 900 meters up the mountain.
       Apart from providing a unique art school application project，the high-heel climb also allowed the 19-year-old to raise some money for worthy causes，like Sal's Shoes，which provides footwear for barefoot children around the world.
       "Raising money for charity brings happiness to people's lives and if I can do something ridiculous and bring someone happiness，then that's what it's all about"，Ben said.

    （1）What can replace the underlined word "tricky" in Paragraph 1？

    A．Pleasant.
    B．Boring.
    C．Tough.
    D．Smooth.
    （2）Why did Allen videotape the high-heel climb for Ben？

    A．To prove nothing is impossible.
    B．To record a special experience.
    C．To promote their friendship.
    D．To assist in Ben's application.
    （3）What does Paragraph 3 focus on？

    A．The difficulties in the climb.
    B．The climbing route.
    C．The terrible weather.
    D．The unexpected incident.
    （4）What can best describe Ben's story？

    A．Puzzling.
    B．Inspiring.
    C．Exciting.
    D．Frightening.
