Week Two 兴趣爱好 一、阅读理解（共17小题；共34.0分） A On April 22, 2012, I jumped from an airplane 13,000 feet up. What was the purpose? It was just to overcome my fear of heights. Seven years ago, when I went to France, I couldnt go up the Eiffel Tower because I was afraid. It seemed so high. I wanted to overcome my fear, so I could dare to go skydiving(跳伞). At first, I didnt think I could, but I finally made it. I dont think that I could have jumped out of that plane without the encouragement of my wonderful friends and classmates—Yucel and Tatiana! It was a pity that we couldnt jump together. However, as we prepared to jump, there was something special among us—a special bond. I made a reservation(预定) to go skydiving one week before the day of my jump. I felt nervous during the whole week, kind of blue; but mysteriously. When it was the moment to jump from the airplane, I didnt feel any fear… I just jumped! That was awesome! Awesome! There was a whole new world and the beautiful sky. I had never seen such a beautiful world!!! First, I felt an awful acceleration(加速度), and then I felt like I was lying in the air… like a bird! I think it was an illusion, but it was wonderful! The oncoming wind blew me strongly. It was amazing! After about 50 seconds of freefall, the parachute opened. When I landed on the ground, I felt a lack of oxygen. It was difficult to breathe in during the freefall. I was so glad that I survived and was able to overcome my fear! Everything went well! If possible, I want to jump again. My first jump is an outstanding memory for me. 1. What could be the best title for the passage? A. Overcoming Fear of Heights B. Not Daring to Go up the Eiffel Tower C. Jumping from a Plane D.
