一、阅读理解

People who enjoy skiing dream of skiing in good places. Now they can ski in Dubai! Dubai has the largest population of the United Arab Emirates, and it has a ski resort( 度假胜地).

Ski Dubai opened for business in 2005. Other than being the world’s third largest indoor ski facility( 设备)，Ski Dubai has a number of things to amaze visitors. Firstly, this ski facility was built in a place where there are no natural hills and it never snows. While the desert outdoors can reach 45℃ in the summer, the slopes(斜坡) of Ski Dubai keep at a cool -2℃ all year round.

Like any other ski resorts, Ski Dubai has a chairlift( 登山吊椅) and some ski coaches. It also owns a Swiss style cafe on the slopes. However, that’s not all. Along with being able to enjoy the five indoor slopes，visitors are welcomed to build snowmen in a given area. Children can also enjoy snowball fights in the snowball throwing area, or they can explore( 探索)a snow cave filled with amazing things for kids to see and do.

As if all of that is not enough, it is also possible for guests to experience falling snow from time to time. When it is time to make snow inside the facility, the temperature drops to -8℃. Then snow guns shoot out frozen water to make a cloud near the ceiling( 顶棚). Small parts of ice are shot into the cloud to form snow. This man-made snowfalls from the ceiling fall on excited guests below. A guest at Ski Dubai experienced his first snowfall, he said “It’ s very strange but wonderful”.

One of my favorite actions is doing good deeds. When other people receive my help, it makes me happy. However, some people look at you strangely when you want to do that. Once I asked a gas station operator if I could pay for the car behind me, but I got a blank stare. After a short explanation, he hesitantly agreed, but then said it was so unbelievable when I pleasantly made this double payment.

So, it’s nice when people “get it”. It seems that people do me a favor too if they receive my favor. At a barbershop recently, after getting my hair cut, I went to the counter to pay. My barber said, “That’ll be twenty dollars please.”

I found that in my wallet I had exactly forty-two dollars. “OK, tell me if you think this is crazy—I’d like to pay for someone else’s haircut as well.”

She hardly hesitated, “Yeah, you can do that.”

Wow it seemed that she was used to this. How cool! She opened her appointment book and asked, “Who do you want to pay for?”

“You pick.”

A pause. “Oh, you mean someone you don’t know?”

“Yeah, is that crazy? What do you think?”

“No, that’s great! I mean sure, why not?”

She agreed to pick an upcoming appointment of hers. I told her I was sorry I only had two dollars left for her trip, but that I would come back later with more. “No, no, this is enough,” she said with a smile, as she quickly wrote down a note. It was as if this idea was so pleasantly natural that she was being introduced to something familiar.
