Freeflyers: Modem Skydivers
Have you experienced the thrilling sport—freeflying? Imagine falling towards the planet Earth at awesome speed of 300 kilometers per hour. You start your fall from over four kilometers above the Earth. And you have less than one minute before you pull your parachute (降落伞）cord. You are falling
fast that just turning your head can send you off
a different direction. This is the wild side of a sport that has not found its limit—freeflying.
Freeflying (base) on the more traditional skydiving,
of which are eye-catching. However, it is more terrifying to watch freeflyers create formations and movements. Freeflyers,
the name suggests, enjoy the more spontaneous(即兴的）thrill of doing their own things.
The wildest trip for a freeflyers is falling ‘head down’. Falling ‘head first’ requires a great deal of control, which means (travel) not only fast but also steadily. Even the
(slight) movement has a great effect on your direction.
They wear the amusing jumpsuits, strange helmets and smaller parachutes. (actual), their parachutes are about one quarter the size of the traditional skydiver’s parachutes. It is only in the last few years
freeflying has gained any real public acceptance.

The Italian dinners we had every Sunday when I was a boy were feasts fit for a king. There were loaves of Italian bread ready to be eaten. were great with butter and even
(good) when you dipped them in the sauce（调味汁）. My grandma,
we called "Nanny", would always bake them a day ahead so they would be ready. I remember watching her hand make the dough（面团）. I would often ask to help but only because I wanted to have
bite of the dough before she placed it in the pans to bake.
One day I (fool) asked Nanny why she didn’t just buy bread at the store
(save) time. “Because they’re not as good,” she said
her thick Italian accent. Then she laughed, smiled, and gave me a piece of dough to eat.
Nanny was right. Today I buy my bread at the store and it isn’t as good. It is factory-made and (lack) all the taste, warmth, and love that Nanny put into hers. Store-bought happiness is a sad substitute for homemade joy.
you want lasting love, permanent peace, and endless joy, then you have to bake them
your own.
