The Incredible Machine
The Incredible Machine Everyone has a favorite attraction at an amusement park, and I am
no different. However, unlike most people who seem to prefer rollercoasters, my favorite
ride is a little more gentle. Every time I go to Coney Island, Navy Pier, or the Santa Monica
Pier, I absolutely have to ride the Ferris wheel. The Ferris wheel is simple and yet also quite
complex. That is, riding it is easy, but how it works is complicated. A series of carts are
attached to a wheel, which is attached to a rim. That rim rotates vertically around an axis,
and gravity keeps the carts upright. As simple as the ride seems, only advanced engineers
can make safe and fun Ferris wheels.
What It Lacks in Thrills…
While the Ferris wheel is not as thrilling as a rollercoaster, it is still very exciting. The fact of
being high in the air makes it so much more entertaining than a lot of rides. I mean, how
often do you hang from that high up in daily life? Nevertheless, I have to admit, I don’t seek
Ferris wheels out because of their excitement. Rather, I find them very relaxing. At the top
of the Ferris wheel, you get beautiful sights of the park. You also get a sense of calm that
you don’t get in the hustle and bustle of the park below. Additionally, Ferris wheels are also
gorgeous to look at when they are lit up at night. In fact, the original Ferris wheel was
designed as much to be seen as to be ridden.
It Happened at the World’s Fair
The first Ferris wheel was made by and named after George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr. He
designed it for the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893. It was the tallest attraction there, standing
264 feet high. However, visitors to the fair were impressed by the size of the ride as well as
the mechanics of it. In 1893, anything that was not turned by hand was considered a sight to
see. And the wheel, which was a machine, was truly incredible to see. Further, as one visitor
put it, the wheel was amazing because it seemed to be missing support. That is, it did not
look like it could stand on its own. And yet it did and even rotated!
5
They Keep Reaching Higher and Higher
Ferris wheel technology has only improved since then. Most of today’s Ferris wheels are
much larger than that first one. The largest in the world is the "Singapore Flyer," which
stands slightly taller than twice what Ferris’s did! Today, the Ferris wheel is the most
common amusement park ride. But that does not mean you should take them for granted.
Instead, be thankful for Ferris’ invention. The next time you’re at an amusement park, don’t
just look up at the impressive wheel in the sky on your way to a newer attraction. Take it for
a spin!

Reading Comprehension
Read the passage. Then answer the questions below.
The Rio Grande
The Rio Grande Although not the longest river in America, the Rio Grande is one of the
most important. But, unlike other significant rivers, it is not used for shipping. In fact,
oceangoing ships cannot navigate the waters. No, what makes the Rio Grande so important
is its location. Since 1846, it has been the official border of Texas and Mexico.
Rio Grande Geography
The Rio Grande is either the fourth or fifth longest river system in North America. It all
depends on how it is measured. Because the river twists so much, it occasionally changes
course. And these course shifts can cause it to be longer or shorter. At its last official
measure, the Rio Grande clocked in at 1,896 miles. The river starts in Colorado and extends
7
downward to the Gulf of Mexico. Downward is the best way of describing it too. Not only
does the river extend south, but it also starts in the mountains and gets lower and lower in
elevation as it extends to the Gulf. Its name is Spanish for the “Big River,” but the Rio
Grande is actually known as Rio Bravo in Mexico. “Bravo” translates as “furious,” so the
name makes sense. Because of its twists and turns, it certainly does seem to be angrier than
most rivers!
The Rio Grande Today
The Rio Grande today is mostly used as a source of drinking water. Sadly, much of the
water has been drained from the river. Parts of the river are almost dry! This is because
people use more water from the river than the river can get back from rain and other
sources. Experts are working to correct this, though, with hopes of restoring the river to its
past strength. Today, the river is important as a source of water for Texans and Mexicans.
More important, it is a symbol of cooperation between two nations. Though borders like the
Rio Grande separate nations, they are also shared spaces. The Rio Grande is therefore a
symbol of friendship and peace between two peoples.
According to the passage,
1.
Why is the Rio Grande so important?
a.
It is a source of drinking water for most of the United States.
b.
It is the border of Texas and Mexico.
c.
It is the longest river system in the United States.
d.
It is known by two different names.
2.
In paragraph 3, the author most likely writes that “downward is the best way
of describing it too” to
a.
prove that the Rio Grande’s water levels have gone down recently
b.
argue that the Rio Grande has changed shape over the years
c.
highlight the fact that the Rio Grande flows south and from high elevations
d.
explain why the Rio Grande is known as the Rio Bravo down in Mexico
3.
Based on its use in paragraph 4, the word furious most nearly means
a.
angry
b.
large
c.
twisted
d.
4.
According to the passage, the Rio Grande has endpoints in
a.
Texas and the Gulf of Mexico b.
New Mexico and Colorado
c.
Texas and Mexico
d.
Colorado and the Gulf of Mexico
5.
At the beginning of the passage, we learn that the Rio Grande is "one of the most
important" rivers in America. Can you think of another important landform that
exists where you live? What makes it so important?

Based on the information in the passage, explain in your own words why the Rio
Grande is “either the fourth or fifth longest river system in North America.” Why
can’t we say with certainty that it is only the fourth longest and not the fifth longest,
for example?

In the final paragraph of the passage, the author says that the Rio Grande is “a
symbol of cooperation” between Mexico and the United States, but also recognizes
that the river divides the two countries. Based on the passage and your outside
knowledge, do you think the river is more uniting or dividing? How do you think the
river symbolizes cooperation? How do you think it symbolizes division? Explain.

COMPREHENSION
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
We don’t get what we desire. Some of us are happy with what we have, others want
more. We may be satisfied with our life style our home, school, neighbors, our city, holidays
with the family, life carries on. Others may want a better life style – a bigger house, a posh
are to live, luxury cars, holidays aboard, shopping malls, which is the right approach? There
is nothing wrong in having a desire’ to get good marks, to excel in sports, to do well in life.
Have your desire and put in your best effort. But, make sure that you enjoy the effort rather
than the fruit. There are those who make the effort grumping all the way and are happy only
when the desire is achieve in the end. There are those who exhaust themselves slaking the
effort to such a degree that they have no strength left to enjoy the fruit. The enthusiasm is
just not there at the end. Too tired to celebrate.
The best way would be to enjoy the effort, no matter what the effect. Celebrate the
walk towards the destination. If the destination is reached, be happy, be satisfied you did it!
But, if it is not reached, do we sit with long faces? Morose, depressed and feeling low? No,
even if we do not win the race of life, nobody can take away the sense of thrill at having run
the race, the delicious fatigue felt at the end of the race – I gave it my best shot! Our
happiness is derived not for reaching a goal, but from the struggle we waged just trying to
reach it.
The problem with us human beings is that we identify joy exclusively with winning.
Just playing a game is not enough – we have to win. We worry too much about what people
will say. But remember, people are too busy with own lives, the next morning your failure is
history for them, the past. One side has to loose, isn’t it? That side could be yours – so, win
some, loose some. There’s always the next time. What was that proverb – failures being the
pillars of success? There is also a spiritual lesson in every failure. Failure is necessary to
remind ourselves of our human weakness. Being winners all the time can create pride and “I
am the greatest” feeling. As the maxim goes, pride goes before fall.
