　　Every history has a starting point and most roller coaster historians agree that the ride's origins were the Russian Ice Slides（滑翔）. These slides first appeared during the 17th century throughout Russia. The structures were built out of lumber（木材）with a sheet of ice several inches thick covering the surface. Riders climbed the stairs tied to the back of the slide, sped down the 50 degree drop and go up the stairs of the slide that laid parallel（平行的）to the first one. It is said that Catherine the Great was a large fan of the slides and had a few built on her own property.

　　There is some disagreement as to who actually added wheels and created a rolling coaster. Robert Cartmell, who wrote the book A History of the Roller Coaster, gives the Russians belief for building the first wheeled machine… Other historians say it was the French who added wheels to the slides. It is known that by 1817 two coasters were built in France.

　　The Aerial Walk, one of the two coasters featured a heart-shaped design with two tracks that flowed in opposite directions from a central tower. They then went around the course, came together at the bottom and go up parallel. The first looping（多圈的）coaster was in Frascati Gardens in Paris, France. The hill was 43 feet high, had a 13 foot-wide loop and tested with everything under the sun before humans were allowed on. The design was simple：the rider rode down the gentle slope（斜坡）on a small cart and through a metal circle.

　　The ride ran for about twenty seasons and the pleasure railway grew old-fashioned. A Centrifugal Railway was built in the Circus Napoleon, but failed in an accident on the trial run and was quickly shut down. It was several years before a man named La Marcus Thompson created the first roller coaster in the United States and change the amusement industry forever.

My First Long Kun

Two weeks ago, I had a quarrel with my husband. After he had driven off in anger, I realized that I wasn’t going to feel any better just sitting there. Feeling abandoned and guilty, I put on my gym shoes to get some fresh air.

   Our driveway has a slope(斜坡) that is easier just to jog down if you are lazy, taking advantage of gravity. Instead of stopping at the end of the slope, I decided t see if I could just jog to the end of the street. I had tried a few months ago and failed miserably. Since that first attempt I had been jogging regularly and was significantly fitter, but still very lazy. However this time around I managed to reach the stop sign with ease and I figured I would go a little further.

  After about one kilometer, however, I noticed that my upper body was tense. To make the movement easier I had to relax my body, and tried to take deep breaths of air.

  I kept giving myself the excuse to stop. No one would be disappointed. No one would even know. But I didn’t stop. I wanted to keep going harder, better, stronger. To my great surprise, I ran 4.9 km in 31 minutes. When I got back, I had tears in my eyes. I did something I thought I could never do.

It was the first long run of my life. Since I have improved my stride (步幅) and time, after every run I feel fitter, happier and motivated to keep progressing. I love the runner’s high, I normally jog because I want look good. I want to run because it makes me feel good.
