About the Photo


This photo shows a theme park ride
at the Genting Highlands Resort in
Malaysia. This ride is a special type of
roller coaster called a flying coaster.
It’s different from regular roller
coasters. The wheels that run along
the track are above the riders rather
than below them. This flying coaster
reaches a top speed of 42 kilometers
per hour (26 miles per hour).

Our World in Context


A miniature train ride and the Ferris
wheel were included in 19th century
fairs and expositions. Amusement
parks and theme parks developed
in the 20th century. The first of these
were intended for adults, not children,
but soon theme parks provided fun
for the entire family.

Teaching Tip
From time to time, call on students
rather than asking for volunteers.
Avoid calling on students who answer
frequently. When calling on shy


students, be encouraging. Provide


extra support as needed. For example,

严禁
provide part of the answer, or a
sentence frame.

an athlete The photo on p. 74 shows a wax
figure that’s meant to represent
Cleopatra. Cleopatra was the queen
of Egypt from 51 to 30 bce. She was
a descendant of the Macedonian
emperor Alexander the Great.
Cleopatra married the Roman leader
Mark Antony, and they ruled Egypt
together for 11 years, until their armies
were defeated by armies of the
Roman general Octavian. They died
soon after, and Egypt became part of
the Roman Empire.

About the Photo


This photo was taken in a cave in
Alabama, a state in the southern
United States. The cave is called
Stephens Gap. It was formed by water
wearing away limestone rock. The
person in the photo is standing on a
rock formation that is three stories
above the bottom of the cave.

Teaching Tip
Setting vocabulary words to music
helps students remember the words.
Repeatedly singing a song with
vocabulary words helps students to
“own” the words. Encourage students
to sing songs with the vocabulary
words at home as well, and perhaps
even to teach the song to family
members.
