【英语3级听力】坐过山车-Roller Coaster Ride

 He tried the roller coaster ride the first time. He did not like it. He tried it a second time. He still did not like it. They say third time's the charm. He went back in line. The lines for roller coasters were long. Everybody he knew loved riding roller coasters. Everybody loved them except him. He thought roller coasters were terrifying. He did not know what the big deal was. Why risk your life, he thought. He was waiting in line. People in line were impatient, but he was not. The line moved forward. His turn for the ride came. He was strapped¹ on the roller coaster. "Please keep you hands and legs together," he was told. The roller coaster began moving. It slowly ascended² to the top. It plummeted³ to the bottom. He vomited⁴ all over himself.
